SooToday 2See what's happening now they should never have closed the first hospital or they should have turned around and expanded it properly there's not enough beds there's not enough rooms there's not enough doctors all because they turn around and made a new site I should have turned around and left a site downtown on the waterfront or made that the expansion for rehabilitation and detox center now they have problems with the new building once again this should have been taken care of way back in the beginning I've said my pieces many times over and I'm saying it again the general hospital said should just been updated properly over a year or so of the new building opening up on the hill now we're into more problems we should have been addressed years ago

Transit petition asks city to put the brakes on route changes
SooToday 1Sure some of the new updates I have seen from over the years have been improvised and make it a little more convenient for the bus rider but now they want to shorten some of the areas it's bad enough people still have to walk or wait long period before buses arrive or the routes are different to where you have to ride longer to get to your destination let alone the times are next to impossible to figure out from what they used to be stop messing with the routes stop messing with the times and lower the cost of the bus fare it's outrageous

City removing 101 bus stops but adding 84 under Sault Loops plan
SooToday 1This is sad First you remove the Dundas terminal and changed routes Then you change routes and mess with the main terminal Then you change routes and timesThen change routes and terminal Then times routes Now routes again And the whole time raised price of the bus fares This is getting ridiculous and extremely confusing for people that used depend on the bus system and stayed away for a time period and now just coming back to it is outrageous to try and figure out and when you ask questions to a driver you get disrespected by asking anything and take your chances on anything including when you have a hard time walking distance to the stops or terminal the only one in this 4X4 Plus riding the bus system is extremely hard on a person's back no more comfort or easy site of the up coming stops or out of the windows mainly when there is decals on the window and constant changes to the routes and the stops are either not where you remember

Transmission failure: Hydro One says investigation ongoing into this morning's massive Sault outage
SooTodayWe have the water power generation and wind mills and solar panels and they are not providing any power to our city and yet we rely on great lakes power to bring us power from elsewhere Proven fact was back in the summer of 2005 I believe when we didn't have power back then for days and we were getting our power from southern Ontario That's shortly a year or so later we started seeing the windmills rolling through town then the solar few years later and we are still not hooked up to them and we were promised that we would be back then and still not now
