VIDEO: Ford government wants these ‘bed-blockers’ booted from Ontario hospitals
70the truth is there are professional patients, that seek health care for the slightest ailment, tying up emergency rooms with a scrape on their finger, seeking opioids for 'pain'. also there are those that would rather be in hospital than recovering at home tying up beds for those that really need it.

29Cannabis and vaping, especially in adolescents is what is effecting their brain.

Dozens protest proposed public space bylaw ahead of council vote
GuelphToday 34maybe if the protestors and unhoused spent as much effort cleaning up the camps of litter and garbage, the optics would be better. plastering stickers around the city saying Fluck the bylaw doesn't help their cause either.

Ontario 'ripping up' $100 million deal with Elon Musk's Starlink in response to U.S. tariffs
22Depends, if it was already a signed deal, wouldn't there be a big penalty for cancelling it? Then the taxpayers would be on the hook for that and a higher cost from the next bidder.

Five parks identified in city’s homelessness response
GuelphToday 30If the 'unhoused' can afford drugs, they can afford housing, stop the enabling!!!

Mayor 'wouldn't be surprised' to see tax increase of 6 per cent
GuelphToday 31I guess he won't be surprised by the results of the next election...

Council votes down raises, looks to freeze pay next term
GuelphToday 30They knew what the job entailed when they ran for office. I'm sure someone on ODSP or O/W would be quite happy getting the salary council does now.

VIDEO: Would you eat steak from a cloned cow? Is it safe?
13I'd rather eat cloned meat then lab grown meat. It's still from an animal.

Name of new Guelph high school now official, but not everyone pleased
GuelphToday 32Should have just called it Arkell Heights.

Council approves controversial public space use draft bylaw
GuelphToday 22The Charter has been interpreted too liberally, what about the life, liberty and security of the rest of the public, don't we have rights as well? There are alternatives, but it is farther out into the country, lot's of crown land way up North as well ( and there are rules about living on Crown land , maximum time in one spot, waste disposal etc ) but expecting to have a prime downtown camping spot is unrealistic, why do you think people have to pay a premium for downtown rent or condos?

Developer looks to replace downtown Wendy’s, KFC with 29-storey building
GuelphToday 15It's in the water table protection zone due to being so close to the River, the height limit was set for a reason.

Guelph man builds tiny home in woods for his homeless father-in-law
GuelphToday 9There is a reason people can't just build homes in the woods where ever they like, no emergency access, no utility hookups like sewage, most likely on private property. If this was allowed, what's to stop the outskirts of Guelph becoming a shanty town? Can't live in shelters or just doesn't want to put up with people? Sometimes you need to compromise for a while. 1400 is much more than someone on O/W gets, a single unit is possible with that income.

The Ward redevelopment proposal includes a 24-storey building
GuelphToday 724 stories is way out of line with the zoning in the area, even 12 is pushing the limit and as always, parking is already an issue with so many working downtown but parking on the side streets here.

Family of woman killed in Guelph parking lot calls for stricter rules for older drivers
GuelphToday 18I've taught my son always to have his head on a swivel in Parking lots and pay attention to the reverse lights on cars because of blind spots. Too many pedestrians assume drivers can see them and just walk right behind cars w/o looking. I'm surprised the driver was even charged because technically, the HTA does not apply to private property such as parking lots.

VIDEO: Should Ontario sell its stash of U.S. booze and give the cash to charity?
12Not selling US booze is just virtual signaling, also goes against the spirit of free trade.

St. George's Square redesign calls for moving fountain and self-cleaning washroom
GuelphToday 14Guelph has a very small downtown, removing cars from that intersection is cutting the heart out of traffic flow, for transit, deliveries and especially for emergency services which pass by there many times a day.

Taller buildings, more 'affordable' units proposed for Baker Street
GuelphToday 14Needs more parking, it already is impossible to find spots now.
