As city eyes daytime shelter, mayor doesn't want it downtown

GuelphToday

I moved into downtown a year ago. While I have a great deal of empathy for unhoused people with dependencies, I have witnessed open drug use, walked around discarded needles and crack pipes on several occasions, walked past so much garbage, and have actually been afraid to venture out in the evenings. I don't mean to suggest that all homeless folks do this but certainly there is a presence downtown.i want my Guelph back. I want not to be fearful in my own back yard.

Judge grills lawyer challenging $400-a-day long-term care law

GuelphToday

What a dreadful state we are in. No homes for elderly people in their home town, no affordable housing for low income, and not enough shelter for unhoused folk who want it. Closure of safe injection sites, the cost of food unattainable for many and a premier who just does not care about any of this. Imagine how far the 235 million dollars we paid for breaking the LCBO could have gone to fill some of these needs. Doug Ford is a disgraceful human.

With apparently no new ideas, the mayor is raising the dead

GuelphToday

I moved into a downtown condo in March of this year, and while I was prepared and knew about the small encampment in the square I was not prepared to see open drug use and it's effects so blatantly. It happens several times a week in the park next to my building and I'm not the only person to report this. Just because others haven't seen this doesn't mean it does not occur. Addictions are a terrible thing to stop. It's not simple, or easy. There has to be motivation to do so. Not being an expert, I can only say that when someone is ready they will do it but there has to be support for this readiness stage. I know there is help in Guelph but until someone makes the choice to get clean it's not going happen. Solution? I have a couple of ideas that are likely to fall into the abyss. And yes, they will cost money. That's the reality of any social need. It doesn't just happen without money.

Longfield: Why the latest motion to lower food prices in Canada didn't pass

GuelphToday

Meanwhile, how many people will struggle severely during the next 2 years. Subsidies to big grocers is a big slap in their face. Shame on all of you who make this possible.

One man's journey to review every pizza place in Guelph

GuelphToday

I applaud Justin for having fun with this. I must also say, being Italian, and knowing pizza from this perspective, there is no pizza in Italy that fits his description and criteria as to what makes a great slice. More precisely, pizza Napolitana, has a thin crust, thin veneer of tomato sauce, few toppings and a little cheese. Pizza 'Americana' is what we have now come to believe is the dish. But, listen, we all have our preferences. May the best slice win. I vote for Buon Gusto. Buon appetito.
