'Terrible idea': Smith rails against pitch for tiny homes, car living
OrilliaMatters 7If there is any message from the US... and Canada... it's this: Woke is dead. Lefty dreams are not being funded. I have never heard from the lefts, other than to raise taxes, the opportunity for work for homeless, and expectations of out comes, other than free everything.

City hits brakes on Colborne St. parking spots amid safety concerns
OrilliaMatters 24The problem is staff and a misguided CAO that they can't get rid of. I am tired of watching the City hire more staff to 'administrate' jobs (read tax dollars) to duplicate Simcoe County positions: Housing Coordinator; Climate change , and Food insecurity Coordinator.. They need a Coordinator of: We are wasting tax payers money: Wait, they are called Councilors.... it's anyone awake?

City to spend $6.6M to refurbish cooling system at Orillia rec centre
OrilliaMatters 7His job is to chair meetings. He gets to rule. This is standard chair protocol.

COLUMN: Americans electing Trump like turkeys voting for Thanksgiving
OrilliaMatters 11What a pile of leftist propaganda and tears. The freedom of the press is foundational to Democracy, as is freedom of speech. That doesn't mean you can't call something for what it is. Leftist propaganda and tears

Women's shelter, turning people away, makes plea to city for funding
OrilliaMatters 13Notwithstanding the work they do. A city, any city, is not responsible to fund shortfalls in ANY organization's mission, from Rowing clubs to Cat shelters: if your mission and your passion cannot raise funds DON'T expect taxpayers to do it. 12 of your beds are funded already by tax payers. Council: Wake up and just say No. It's setting a bad precedence.

BREAKING NEWS: Jill Dunlop appointed new education minister
OrilliaMatters 5Stop with the bitter left commentary. Until you do the job you have no idea of what it takes... it's called public service for a reason. Minister Dunlop works hard and is well respected.

Conservation authority makes pitch to bring Orillia into the fold

Overcrowded Comfie Cat Shelter in danger of being 'shut down'
OrilliaMatters 7Another cry for the CITY to solve a problem with more taxpayer dollars and more regulation and more staff. Volunteers won't fix that. Regulation won't fix that. Enough. Humanely euthanize them..

‘False flag': Cell phone ban a 'distraction' from chronic underfunding
OrilliaMatters 12Yes no surprise this is a pro union article. The best news in the whole article, they are using brown paper bags

Could a roundabout wheel into busy west Orillia intersection?
OrilliaMatters 9You would think West Orillia has the 'corner' on bad drivers. If Fallis is so concerned perhaps he can volunteer to be a crossing guard and rotate through every intersection...calmly. Frankly does the city want to make West Orillia pedestrian only.... or a stop sign every 40 feet. Fallis needs a reality check... it's called an election.

City working group seeks $100k for new community connection centre

Demand for Empower Simcoe services 'outstripping' supply
OrilliaMatters 7This is sad but not a City of Orillia funding issue. We are not a Social Service agency. We are a city. This organization receives 85% of its budget from Tax Pay ers. We have opened the door to every Social Service agency and Non Profit, to solve their crises. We simply cannot.
