This is a prime example of the Carney Liberals deflecting results of there own criminal investigations into hundreds of conflict of interest claims that are now being investigated and other financial dealings that they refuse to acknowledge to the public tax paying citizens . The Liberals can only LEARN from the Doug Ford P.C. party //// instead they keep trying to treat the citizens of Canada like were stupid. Who is Carneys Bag Man along with his bias based Media?
So much for the safety of children of Guelph , this has got to be one of the most ridiculous solutions possible . Maybe some restructuring at the City Hall could make a lot of needed space .
The whole world is in turmoil , and all of Canada is falling into state of no return due to the Liberal party mass immigration disaster and Guelph's biggest quest for survival is reusable food containers. City council have to much time on there hands if this is a big priority and also a useless Bylaw !!
That is not a cure or helping anyone period!! Why not give alcoholics more alcohol, smokers more tobacco, criminals more weapons, these people need to be dried out with medical help and or involuntary incarceration methods . The cities method of keep poisoning them to help is not working and will not work !!!!!
About time the city started enforcing some of the laws that are to keep the city safe for all citizens. Why do all these helping hands etc. have to be front and center [ downtown ] where residents shop and do their banking etc. Maybe a better place would be at some of the disgusting litter covered encampments all over the city. People have to help themselves sometimes. Clean up after yourselves.
If the Green Party wants to point fingers and lay blame START by pointing to the Federal Liberals as they are the root cause of the mess this country is in. Lets start cleaning up the mess the Liberal Government has created over the last 10 years instead of supporting it. The majority of people in this province voted for Doug Ford not Mike Schreiner for a reason.
Revenue neutral????????? How about some cameras and tickets at cross walks and bike lanes or are the pedestrians and cyclists exempt as usual. What is the case with electric bikes and other modified vehicles without any needed license identification most that are well capable of exceeding posted speeds?? [ When are the next 25 coming??]
Existing council members should not be making this decision as favoritism and pass practice would and can be a major influence when voting , especially when it involves past council members . A fresh face and new outlooks would be a nice change.
"WE" decided to close the parking /// who are" WE "?? Did WE give any thought or consideration to the tax paying citizens that live on all the small traffic volume streets, in and all around the park area for driveways blocked , pedestrian crossing with all the parking congestion and several other issues. The city of Guelph spends TENS of THOUSANDS of dollars every year putting traffic calming devices all over these streets to stop increased use , and then at this event " WE " and the city of Guelph promote it by having no parking ???????
More wasted time and money. Time and people involved equals Money wasted , money in a case like this should be put forward into proper education of todays youth . Let's keep the politics and the wokeness agenda out of our schools and get back to common sense education. We can honor past people that made a difference in our community's by naming schools etc. after them . Lets quit trying to erase history and the people that made it. The Liberal Government tried to and look where they are.
More , More , and More taxes . City council is excellent for one thing , and that's dreaming of ways to spend money and raise taxes to do so . If our city council is so intent to dream up these never ending proposals how about they pay for them instead raising taxes and draining other resources. Some of these people need help but others do not . Keep handing out money and the free for all will grow and grow. City council should consider how there actions will impact the city as a whole and not just a small minority.
Remove all the vehicles ? Delivery Vehicles / Public Transportation / Emergency Vehicles / easy mode for downtown shopping and special events . Remove the Fountain in the square that was a gift to Guelph to help beautify the downtown area . This plan will be a wonderful area for a children's playground with swings, slides, and lots of drug used garbage all over the place as it will be a excellent place for some to visit for hand outs and business transactions with so many offenders out on bail for the 6th time. Wake up Guelph staff and Counsel members and get your head out of [ Alice and Wonderland] This is downtown Guelph and before you want to create the Yellow Brick Road , start by cleaning the real problems first /// DRUGS , HOMELESSNESS, EXCESSIVE BARS , CRIME , PUBLIC SAFETY !!!! Until then that 100 to 150 million dollars of Guelph tax payers money could be spent on a new HOSPITAL.
Is the city going to be liable for damage and injury for trees etc that are under there protection bylaws . What about the thousands of urban shelter [trees ] that the city sacrifice's to there own end for development and the more and more and more homes movement. The city wants to regulate your homes structure and appearance and now there in our back yards // what's next the kitchen , bathroom or bedroom ?? Let's start doing something for the citizens of Guelph like lowering the tax burden on home owners instead of more unnecessary costs and bylaws.
No !!!!!!! eMERGE does not speak for all the citizen's of Guelph { they are a very small part of Guelph that are on the fossil fuel , climate change movement] Yes rates will increase along with the companies increased costs . What about all our money the Federal government has taken out of our pockets for the Carbon Tax? Think before you speak is always a smart move , Does Hydro pay this land fee for ALL there land usage to the City of Guelph or are they exempt for being a Green ?
Ms Lammel should be ashamed of her approach to our senior citizens about CLIMATE change. There is so much more information available about the causes and problems and corrective measures to help correct climate change than her own one sided political motivated rhetoric. All people now realize that the earth is round so please start telling all the facts and not just your political preferences to all our citizens of Guelph including our senior citizens.
A very good thing Guelph city council should do is Worry More about the mess they have helped to create in this once proud City of Guelph , and quit being a little minority that loves dictating there dreams to the vast majority of hard working tax payers. [ How about a tax reduction or a spending freeze ]
The news failed to describe the Criminals or there Nationally. I think the public should have a heads up as to a profile these criminals or is that against someone's rights. When is this be nice and forgive the criminals nonsense going to stop .[[[[ Jail not Bail ]]]]].
