Mood at Algoma Steel is 'terrible' one day before Trump could increase tariffs to 50%

Not to simplify this situation, but it's been my experience that when dealing with a bully, always have something that they want or need.The bully needs electricity for the Northeast part of his country, so it's time to adjust the price of that accordingly.Standing up to Trump is quickly becoming the only option left.

POLL: Federal NDP, Green readers shifting to Liberals

Out of the parties/candidates, Carney is the only one I see having the intelligence, tact, and ability to lead Canada into the troubled times we're entering with the United States. From CTV News:"Canada will be hit with a 25 per cent tariff across the board with an exception on energy which will be 10 per cent, Mexico will be hit with a 25 per cent tariff across the board including energy, and China a 10 per cent tariff across the board."It's getting pretty obvious dealing with Trump is to use the same bully tactics. I know this is a wide simplification but turn off the energy coming from Canada as of Tuesday and start preparing for the US's response.Canada is not the enemy of the United States of America and we are not pawns either.

Real estate firm sees potential in Station Mall's waterfront site

Imagine a mall, with a variety of stores, including a grocery store and a theatre, along with assisted living units, as well as long-term care units, where the residents don't have far to go to shop, get their groceries, see a movie, etc.Maybe that would work here?

Patient care should be priority #1.Any other "priorities" should be removed.Management/administration needs to go through a "LEAN" audit and recommendations need to be followed through.

‘We do miss our friends’: How Trump’s trade war is playing out across the river

@pony,Please show everyone what they voted for? It's not as though Trump laid out his first 100 days of disasters in any way.Armchair quarterbacking after the mess is very easy. Give it a rest when it comes to slamming Chippewa County.

The Ontario Ministry of Health and every hospital in Ontario deserve a full audit to disclose how taxpayer funding is being spent.But we all know the odds of that happening, and even if it did, what would be done to correct any irregularities?

BREAKING: Trump wants to destroy Canada’s economy, annex us: Trudeau and Ford
29
From CTV News:Doug Ford says Ontario will slap export tax on electricity it supplies to U.S. if tariffs ‘persist’Persist? How about stop with the warnings and get on with retaliating?A bully, like Trump, learns only one way that their behaviour won't be tolerated. By others standing up to them. Otherwise, they continue on and see what else they can get away with.Not even two months into this term and he seems focused on causing chaos anywhere he can.

Speed cameras change driver behaviour: CAA study
SooToday

Instead of wasting city police officers' time on speed enforcement, their time could be better applied to addressing other issues in the city, such as crime.Speed cameras will change drivers' behaviour. I tend to speed and if I see a speed camera sign, I'll slow down. It doesn't get any simpler than this to solve the problem.

Taking your property back is not being a vigilante.As far as the thief, we all know catching them results in nothing happening to them. No disrespect to Sault City Police, their hands are tied when it comes to dealing with petty crime.Happy to see someone got their bike back.

Former Ford staffers deny accusation of fraud over alleged agreement to rezone land using ‘backchannel contacts’

Really?Ford staffers, former or not, denying wrongdoings in the proposed Greenbelt development?I'm surprised since anything to do with Greenbelt has always come across as honest, open and fair to all those involved.Hmm...

Doug Ford says tariffs could be waived on cars with over 50% U.S. parts

I think PM Carney summed it up perfectly today, the US is no longer a reliable trading partner.Trump says 25% tariffs, Nutlick contradicts that message.Enough. We're not even 3 months in to this 48 month adventure and it's turned into a mess.

For anyone who reads this article, this is about my parents.Be very aware, Sault Area Hospital is not interested in helping patients move to long-term care. SAH wants patients in this stage of their lives to be out of the hospital, regardless of where these patients will be going.If anyone wants further details about my mother's experience, please send me a private message.
