Poll: 3/4 of readers say the Liberals would be better off without Trudeau
81Do you want safe cities again? Prices everybody can afford? Canadians put at the front of the line instead of other countries’ citizens? There was a time when this was normal and for the last decade it hasn’t.

POLL: Younger readers happier with Donald Trump's win
11Nobody can be satisfied with a choice between monster and mediocrity and it’s depressing that democracy produces such candidates. The greatest power we have isn’t actually the ability to vote - it’s the ability to not vote. If everybody stayed home on election day they’d lose all their power.

Poll: Liberals would likely gain support with a new leader
60Freeland has been pulling the strings since the beginning I hate to have to tell you. What we’re seeing is her policies.

POLL: Readers more bullish on U.S. Democrats' chances with Harris as nominee
40Canadians don’t vote in US elections. It’s up to Americans to decide. Historically speaking, Americans don’t like coronations. One candidate has attained the nomination uncontested. The other one competed in a lengthy nomination contest, including even an attack on his life.

BREAKING: City council to consider $500K investment in YMCA, backstop 10-year lease
SooToday 18If the city can’t function because the parents can’t work because they’re at home taking care of kids that’s a huge hit to the economy. It’s also a draw for new people moving to the city to have an athletic and leisure facility and the city’s only health club as far as I know. It’s in the city’s interest. The backstop is a smart solution.

POLL: Readers more bullish on U.S. Democrats' chances with Harris as nominee
35Obama wasn’t loved by all and his shortcomings are what gave rise to his successor. He was also a foreign policy failure. He looked the other way when Russia marched into Ukraine and violated its sovereignty. He signed on to an expensive and unattainable energy policy that continues to this day to contribute to global inflation.

City council agrees to spend $4.75M to buy old hospital

POLL: Parents more tolerant of phone use in schools
SooToday 43Hard no for elementary students, any time of the day. High school students shouldn’t take their phones out during class but otherwise schools shouldn’t get involved. How could there possibly be broad opposition to a policy like that.

City council slams brakes on Kinach’s need for speed
SooToday 39The speed limits are a minor inconvenience and don’t address the entire problem. I encourage the city to write a hundred letters encouraging four lane highways along 17 East. That stretch from The Sault to Sudbury is frustrating at times and dangerous other times and the highway runs through many towns along the way that should’ve been bypassed by now. There’s a lot of land to do it.

'Never over until it’s over': Town hall zeroes in on saving YMCA
SooToday 23Too little too late. They focused all their energies on punishing people for renting out rooms to travelers, building concrete plazas and dreaming up gateway projects.

POLL: New Democrats most open to Ukraine getting nuclear arms
36Nuclear weapons aren’t the solution to the signatories violating their commitments under the Budapest memorandum because Russia already has them.

Poll: Trudeau, unlike Poilievre, lacks strong support
24Except for his own father no PM has ever won four elections. And even then with PET it wasn’t consecutive. Statistically, the liberals will lose the next election with Trudeau leading them.
