Poll: Most readers back union in LCBO strike

The issue isn’t the workers. It’s being respected as adults and taxpayers. Allowing us the convenience and choice of selection, location and service. Small businesses deserve a fair shot at building sales with their customers. It’s 2024.

VIDEO: Our hospitals will have some very difficult decisions to make this year

Not sure why our health system doesn’t provide regular full body medical assessments, like many other countries are doing (and reaping the benefits of medical tourism.) Understand your body and direct attention and care on prevention and mitigating risks. But that’s just crazy talk eh?

This has nothing to do with politics.You can’t just pitch a tent anywhere you want to.If you disagree, offer up your front lawn. And maybe breakfast too.

VIDEO: Time to ban sports gambling ads? ‘We don’t allow cocaine commercials’

Absolutely. At one time, hockey telecasts were mostly Molson Canadian, Export and Golden. Along with Rothman’s and Export A cigarettes. Until the oh geez moment with the realization that a lot of youngsters watched hockey. Beer and cigarettes became one with hockey. My annual Leafs calendar was sponsored by Export A.

Mr Gordon works for a private research firm. This is their handle, “ A Canadian research centre addressing urgent and entangled global problems. We anticipate future crises and identify high-leverage interventions to change humanity's course for the better.” In other words, they profit from presenting risks (fear mongering). It’s good business obviously.

OPINION: 'Guelph has become a cold and mean place in recent weeks'

GuelphToday

Yes, what’s the solution? Now isn’t that a more constructive discussion ? Much better than complaining and attacking. And much healthier. Try it, you’ll like it.

The State of the City? More like The Sound and the Fury

GuelphToday

Does this reporter ever say anything positive about the mayor? The headline is always a dead giveaway. Regardless of the issue, the bias is consuming.

OPINION: Construction is lifeline to downtown, not a death sentence

GuelphToday

The work must be done. But not at the expense of foreclosures and job losses. Stay close to the owners, employee, and customers throughout the project. Implement tactics to improve before it’s too late. Track anticipated / actual job losses and revenue changes on a weekly basis. Adjust and aid as possible.

Development plan submitted for former east end Loblaw site

GuelphToday

Traffic will be mayhem unless there’s a radical transformation of roads and intersections up and down. Especially the extremely tight Watson/Eastview intersection. With pedestrians including school children, two plazas, invisible merging lanes, a gaping pothole, lack of proper lighting, constant parades of cattle trucks and numerous u-turns - it’s a fatality waiting to happen. The odds have just gone way up. I’ve been living in this area for years and it was actually safer before this atrociously designed intersection was urbanized.

Internal audit turns up improper buying for city fleet maintenance

GuelphToday

Next: a request for proposals for fleet management software. Coming soon in the next budget. Avoid the temptation and financial risk of a big / integrated solution. Forget a major project and implementation pains. Start with something standard that provides the basics. There are many good apps available for fleet management. Do the right thing.

Council approves ‘amazing’ 24-storey building set for downtown

GuelphToday

Maybe now is time for that one way loop around the downtown. Similar to Kitchener with Charles and Duke, but better integrated into each other. Wellington east to Woolwich north to a 5 Points roundabout to Norfolk south to Gordon south back on Wellington east. Keep traffic moving, improve the efficiency to serve customers, make the CBD core more pedestrian with a comprehensive spoke of side streets to accommodate parking and other small businesses and services. Change before we have to.
