Council agrees to craft Guelph’s first city-wide parking strategy
GuelphToday 24@Matt Saunders - we already have such spaces; they're called "parks". How do you think people will travel to downtown? You're living in a fantasy if you think people with disposable income (i.e., those who can support downtown businesses) are going to take public transit downtown and add 2 hours of travel time to their day.

Former U of G president who left in 2024 was paid $410,000 last year
GuelphToday 21How much should someone be paid who has difficult shift work, deals with criminal violence, vomit and other bodily fluids, carries a gun they are authorized to use and is expected to put themselves between you and harms way, all while being subject to a significant degree of vitriol from far too many citizens? I suggest they are fairly compensated. There are perhaps some other fat cats on the list that are more appropriately questioned

Todd Bertuzzi signs on to play senior hockey in Cambridge
GuelphToday 10That was more than 20 years ago. Yes, it was a brutal incident but he doesn't have to wear it forever. Reparations were made AND accepted. You are too hot about this matter for no apparent reason.

Guelph's 12 automated speed cameras to be shut off Friday
GuelphToday 7You shouldn't have to worry about getting a massive fine for going 38 km an hour at 10 pm at night, anywhere, period

Favouritism? An oversight? Arthur Street parking leads to heated council debate
GuelphToday 12What about the winter street parking issue? I thought this was to be addressed for winter 2026 after discussions started 3 years ago. Why has winter parking not been addressed for years?

ICYMI: After 170 years, Bank of Montreal is moving out of Downtown Guelph
GuelphToday 10Business people don't want to wade through the loiterers around that branch - happy to drive to the periphery of the city to avoid them

OPINION: How does transit this bad keep getting worse?
GuelphToday 9There is no underfunding of Guelph Transit. Look at the relative expenditure on transit across munipalities in BMA Municipal studies. Poor service is not a result of underfunding

Developer's appeal results in order to give tenants free transit passes
GuelphToday 11It is so risky buying a pre-construction home (condo especially) - I wouldn't do it. It's bad enough going through this type of hassle but imagine a developer going bankrupt before finishing! There are a few reasons developers create a company specifically for one project.

No attendee parking at Guelph Ribfest this year
GuelphToday 8For folks predicting doom for the event you likely haven't been for awhile. Most attendees gave up parking inside the park long ago. By the time staff and volunteer parking were accounted for there were only about 50 spots left for attendees and it was a nightmare to navigate. Attendees found other solutions that won't be much more intrusive than previous years because so few parked in-park anyway.

A budget fought on the margins has no good decisions
GuelphToday 6@Tay Caton Did you even read the article you posted? "According to the local advocacy group Safe Parkside, a driver was turning at the intersection of Parkside and Howard Park Avenue around 6 p.m. last night when they hit a pedestrian, who was taken to hospital"The vehicle was turning. Do you think the vehicle was going above posted limit while turning? That's the problem with junk stats and activist posturing. Brampton camera caught over 71000 speeding vehicles. What is speeding? 2 kilometers over?? What time of day? I'd argue if 71000 vehicles triggered the camera in that short of a period the speed limit is likely ridiculously low. 71000 drivers don't know a reasonable speed to travel at for the time and conditions??? Zealots!!

Guelph's 12 automated speed cameras to be shut off Friday
GuelphToday 3"Save lives" is a bogus argument. Lives weren't being lost in low-speed school zones before cameras were introduced. Studies showing speed reductions used data from 24hrs a day, including when all children were safe and sound in their beds. During school arrival and departure people drive responsibly and the volume of traffic around schools during these times are natural cues to reduce speeds. You likely can't find one fatality in Guelph in a school zone attributable to a speeding driver in decades

GuelphToday 6Winter parking was supposed to be considered 3 years ago. Now it'll be another 3 years. It's ridiculous that it will take 6 years to see any change

OPINION: The daytime shelter debacle was always going to end like this
GuelphToday 3This is nonsense. What do these activities have in common? The City is spending 65 million on a library for those that "read books" and supports restaurants downtown with altered infrastructure and business friendly policies for those that "eat out". Many people think the City bends over backwards for cyclists

City had nearly $14M in unpaid property taxes last year
GuelphToday 5Well to heck with property tax payers and their trivial concerns about losing their property. How dare they raise a voice - just keep writing cheques to support everything else and stop fussing.

Mayor warns tax increase could rise above eight per cent
GuelphToday 6@Splurfy....that's an absurd request to make. Look up the average residential property tax and do the math of adding 8.5% to get a sense of what an average homeowner faces. It will easily amount to over $400 more per year. That is substantial to those on fixed income and/or those struggling to make ends meet and stay in their homes. I'm sure you didn't mean to trivialize the impact of an 8.5% increase but it is hard not to have that uptake from your comment
