The refused hand shake speaks volumes. It's not a lack of anything. It is a statement, "We do not see eye to eye, I do not respect what you're doing, and I hate everything you stand for."I respect him for refusing the hand shake.

Absolutely not. It's a piece of nature away from the busy world of shoving worthless imagery in your face. Keep it natural.

Dispute over seizure of Sault man's F- Trudeau sign could end up in court

SooToday

You cannot regulate people to be polite.You can regulate harmful behaviours.Freedom of speech and expression is one of the fundamental rights of our country. And while some people may abuse it, this case, while profane, is free expression.If you hate a political figure, that is absolutely your right to do so. And therefore if you wish to post a sign that is not crazy massive or obstructing safe view of driving, which if it's say for example three feet by four, more than ten feet from the road on straight stretch, that in no way obstructs safe view of driving, therefore the ONLY thing that sign could get complaints about is hurting someone's feelings.

Landowner demands closure of key snowmobile link trail

The aftermarket exhausts are annoying to everyone. Except those who run them. And it's those people who ruin the good things for everyone. I hear them through the night, loud, obnoxious, and they don't care. They feel it's some natural born right to be disruptive.

Local speed dating event struggling to attract men, offering buy-one-get-one free tickets

SooToday

I think quite often, men, after a while, have grown to accept being alone.I certainly won't speak for others, but I'd basically need a woman to tell me outright, "I like you, I want to pursue a (defined relationship) with you." WE DON'T UNDERSTAND HINTS.Women. If you're looking. Be direct. We don't understand. Especially after the past several years. I'm single and (kind of) looking. But I don't know how. I need a big sign, "If you're interested, you basically have to adopt me, like a dog from the street. Take me in. Feed me. I'll figure it out after a few months."

These hearings should not be closed. Closed doors allows miscarriage of justice. Let's hear it, city. I for one have seen enough questionable decisionmaking to not trust decisions made behind closed doors.

Dispute over seizure of Sault man's F- Trudeau sign could end up in court

SooToday

I agree. However the law should not be the one to censor language. It should be the community to say "hey, dude, I agree with you, and I support your right to have a sign. Kids might walk by. Point can be made with the first letter. Would you consider making it a little less profane for the neighbors?"That's not a law issue. That's a social and community neighborhood issue.

Former Conservative leader in the Sault to rally locals against carbon tax

And what exactly is Trudeau doing to fight back against crime? Catch and release, taxing homes for heating, and remind me again how many people are without a doctor?

The million-dollar plan to catch speeding Saultites

SooToday

The roads are designed wide open and they look like you should drive fast. This is a design issue. Setting a speed limit of 20 and then setting up a camera is not going to encourage safety. It's going to solely draw up revenue for the city council's next office party.

VIDEO: First-ever Puck Drop rings in early new year for Sault's young ones

SooToday

I came by for the midnight drop. I think there was a miscommunication for expectations.. I was expecting a puck "drop." Not a puck "lowering." I was confused with how it would be done safely, but aside from my thoughts of "Oh, that's safer. And less exciting," it was absolutely a fun event. Great energy, great music. I was able to enjoy hot chocolate and the sights of a happy community.I'm glad I went there, it was a great event.Here's to a good 2025.

Sault Ste. Marie moves to slap new tax on vacant houses

SooToday

I know someone who has purchased a new house, and the previous one needed work. It's a slow process, but there's some good progress being made.I was excited to see this, then worried about "What about this one case?"Then I saw the provision for undergoing renovation. I don't know if it would be counted as major, but for being an older gentleman working half the time alone, he's doing well. I would think the city should have understanding there.But for entirely vacant homes that aren't being worked on? I think this would be a good idea.
