Didn't Ford cut the development fee's builders use to pay? Putting that financial shortfall directly on the municipality? I guess that's okay though since the Municipalities 'greedy' politicians are 'flush with cash' What is wrong with this man that he continually feels the need to use crude language and put down others? Was he not loved as a child? Was he bullied in school? Did other kids steal his lunch money? A leader who can solve problems through dialogue and innovative ideas will get my vote. Not one who shouts meaningless slogans ('axe the tax') and acts like a bully. Grow up Pierre
'I can't afford an apartment in Orillia' Boo Hoo! Go cry in a corner and feel sorry for yourself. A lot of people can't afford an apartment anymore but why should the government ie. the taxpayer, pay you more? Why do you think you're entitled to more? You've been listening to your union too long. They are not helping you. What does full time staff make there? 30/ hr? And you're crying poor? You want Canada Post to remain profitable? Since when were they profitable? Read the room.
I would like someone to explain to me what is happening, and what will happen, to the millions of electric car battery and charging systems when they reach the end of their life cycle. As our current governments, provincial and federal, are happy to dole out millions (billions?) of dollars in corporate welfare to companies to build these here, how will they be disposed of? What environmental disaster awaits us with them?
Just because you have a good job doesn't mean you are guaranteed that job for life. 18 months wages is more than fair. Take the money, move on and quit whining. This shows that all the money spent on union dues was wasted as they can't do a thing for you.
