Nice one Guelph. Minimum 47 more cars on ill prepared roads in our neck of the woods. Approved variances, by cognitively vacant city staff, reduce setbacks by not less than 25% up to 50%...but, hey, 47 new property tax rolls...which will amount to zero impact on current or future taxpayers. Foresight is a thing of the past.
Weird....2024 financial statements show total revenue of $900,013...and, wages ate up $583,558 of those revenues, maybe handouts ought to be reduced - both on the wages side and meals side...
The author of this propagates the artists' Liberal (and negative) views of Conservative people under the guise of news. Since when was "news" a platform for commentary and advocacy. Just give me the news and not all this Liberal slanted mockery of Conservatives. This ought to be an x post vs on GuelphToday.
Right, so the vendor convinces council, (who acts for their constituents, (of whom I would guess zero asked for the cameras)), to install for safety. And, the vendor gets $750K in 6 weeks, and the dramatic decrease in injuries or deaths are....zero. So, compliance to the speed limits is now the only metric, on which the vendor will receive over $100K per week. What a gig.
If the City is the same as the County, the installer / vendor gets 60% of the ticket. I've noticed so so so many less deaths by car in Guelph since this implementation. How is it my taxes pay for the road, pay for the Council, pay for the Police, pay for the School, then...pay (and this is fact) $80 for doing 41 in a 30!
Staggeringly authoritative. My land I paid for. I paid for the tree. I planted it 20 years ago. Our insurance salesman Mayor says I cannot cut it down.
Huh...protest announced, mind changed....as i write that, it sounds appropriate I think - listen to your constituents, REGARDLESS of your own opinion. Now, the real matter at hand...I will plow them for the $650,000. No sleep, no eat for 5 months and i will plow them. Remember the Homer: "That name again is Mr. Plow."
You are too kind. What it is, is an inept, contemptuous lack of stewardship and abandonment of fiduciary duty. Not necessarily the fault of the under-educated employees, but the responsibility of the under qualified, gladhandy, say-anything-to-get-the-most-votes "politicians" on Council.
Do tell Mr. Guthrie, (and council, and County), exactly how the city managed for decades upon decades at 40 KPH with all the deaths that occurred at that speed to warrant the lowering of the limit? Funny, it magically aligns with the money grab. (Similar question, Victoria Road out past Stone, down to 60 from 70...to get more money, nothing else). Its time we employ, that's right, they're EMPLOYED by us, at all levels of Government, sensible, thoughtful, reasonable rather than, as it is now, EMPLOYEE vs EMPLOYER. And, most of the money is going to the actors who sell these cameras...what a joke these gullible employees are.
Ya, this is something I've noticed in Jordan, Vietnam, China, Croatia, Poland, Italy, France, Spain, Montenegro, Greece, Hungary, Slovenia, Slovakia, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Holland, Portugal, Bahamas, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Peru, Chile, Cuba, Panama, Mexico, Honduras, Philippines....their schools assimilate. What a mess.
Is working and struggling and working and struggling...and still going to work, one of Seven Deadly Sins vs gutting "support programs" I didn't authorize my $ to be spent on, nor did I partake in.
Lol..the funny thing is there is no way Mattamy will not get the changes. The City staff and council are both well well well out of their comfort zone and have zero foresight and will grant whatever the developer wants, as they are unable and unequipped to see the true outcomes, other than the primate, shortsighted view, of "more tax dollars" ... "more homes"...what a joke.
