Council to consider reimagined Champlain Monument on Monday
OrilliaMatters
25Putting up a wall like that is inviting graffiti. Plus the visual of indigenous on one side of a wall and the white man on the other doesn't really tie in with reconciliation now does it??

OrilliaMatters 19Exactly. We pay big bucks for the OPP to police our streets.

'It's sad': Dozens of downtown trees on the chopping block
OrilliaMatters 15In my opinion those bricks are in themselves a tripping hazard. I hope they get rid of them completely.

Council slams the brakes on Laclie Street bike lanes ... for now
OrilliaMatters 11Why would the city put in bike lanes when there are bike lanes on the trail? A simple detour down Fittons would take a rider to the trail and then downtown. Waste of money in my opinion.

Stolen Christmas tree puts 'dent' in holiday spirit for local senior
OrilliaMatters 17How sad that someone felt they had the right to get up on their front stoop and steal their decorations. What a GRINCH.

'Irrelevant': Ford’s BYOB push appears to fall flat in Orillia
OrilliaMatters 15Very bad idea. We're trying to cut back on people drinking not trying to encourage them to drink in our parks with our children and grandchildren running around. If you need a drink that badly maybe you should consider how much you're drinking.

Provincial park ravaged by 'devastating' storm to be rebuilt, upgraded
OrilliaMatters 6We wouldn't need the emergency management resources if we dealt with the reason why we need them! Think climate change.

Orillia mother starts diaper pantry to ease financial burden on parents
OrilliaMatters 12I guess the time of using washable diapers and cloths is gone. After my initial purchase there was no cost to me just the effort of soaking and washing.

Original $53M downtown revitalization plan pared down to $18M
OrilliaMatters 13Maybe spend the money on infrastructure first. No point in doing it the other way. And PLEASE no more bricks used as paving. They are a hazard.

COLUMN: Feeling the slow burn of a speeding ticket due to cameras
OrilliaMatters 9Our neighbours got three tickets in one week. The first one was over $300. I'm sorry they have to pay these tickets but they were obviously speeding. Now they use Coldwater instead. I'd advice our OPP to hang around down there. Haha

Orillia considers reinstating free downtown parking for December
OrilliaMatters 13I think its a no brainer. Unless you want everyone to shop in West Ridge.

Council to consider allowing alcohol consumption in city parks
OrilliaMatters 8Terrible idea. The problem will be some won't be just drinking one drink. Then there are the types that get nasty after consuming alcohol. Do we need this in a park where children play? I'm thinking not!!

Overcrowded Comfie Cat Shelter in danger of being 'shut down'
OrilliaMatters 9Do you realize how awful gassing is?? They did that when I was a kid and now I'm in my 70's. Barbaric treatment. Thought those days were over.

Where did all the American booze at LCBO stores actually go?
OrilliaMatters 7Jack Daniels is very upset and claims they would rather have tariffs considering they are not earning ANYTHING at this time from Ontario. I don't usually back up Dougie but I like this.
