U.S. pauses tariffs on Canadian goods for a month
94I personally still think Canadians should still stand our ground and buy Canadian made products before even considering American made. One month doesn't really mean anything. President Trump is trying to use scare tactics and threats to get what he wants, even though he's basing these decisions on misinformation. Johnny and Janny Canuck will always stand up for the Canadian way of life!!

Why the end of cokemaking could be the biggest public health victory in Sault history
SooToday 31Are we seriously going to attack the plant right now!!! Ive grown up in the West end and I felt assured when I saw the smoke and flame that my family was going to be okay because my Grandpa and Uncle had a place to work.

‘Safety biggest issue right now’ as paramedic calls growing more hostile
SooToday 47Having read the experiences of Mr. Onofrio, it brings to light how scary some situations must be for our paramedics. They should have wages equal to our firefighters and city police. We depend on these people who at any given moment are our lifeline when facing serious possibly life threatening medical situations. They should be given more training so they are prepared for anything. Given illegal drugs (and sometimes even legal ones) are an issue in our community, hopefully our paramedics can secure the training needed whether through contract negotiations or through the government so they can feel both secure and prepared when entering any situation. Lastly thank you to all of our paramedics for being there for all members of our community.

Read mayor's full statement on possible plan to save the YMCA
SooToday 33Why should city tax dollars go towards the YMCA? Not everyone in this city uses the Y. The membership fees were too expensive for most families. As for the child care that is important for those families who rely on it to be able to go to work.

Duty free shops in 'a tough spot' amid ongoing trade war
SooToday 28Didn't work the last time! The American people are finally realizing Trump doesn't care who he hurts or destroys as long as his "buddies" stay loyal and wealthy.

POLL: Readers evenly split on Canada joining the EU
30We still have a link to England. Yes it is true we are a free nation, but we are part of the Commonwealth. I truly believe that if it comes to war the Commonwealth countries would help come defend our border, as well as the other countries that I'm sure aren't exactly happy with the American government. We need to stand tall as an independent nation. Canadian pride!!!

MP Sheehan encouraging people here to buy Canadian to fight the tariffs
SooToday 33No Way will Canada ever be American!!!! We owe to our ancestors and to the next generation to respect and maintain Canadian values, and way of life. The last time America tried to take "Canada" by force was in 1812. The results our troops burnt the original White House down.

Council finalizes plan to save local YMCA — with up to $505K from taxpayers
SooToday 30This is going to backfire on the city. I believe this should have been something that taxpayers should have been given a vote for. There are so many other problems in this city that that should have been used for. Problems like bringing more doctors into our city, building more shelters for our citizens who honestly need a roof over their heads, etc. I hope voters remember this and the wasted money on that plaza at election time.

No heat at Davey Home for second day concerns families
SooToday 26Those seniors deserve some respect and human decency!!! They shouldn't need to sleep with hats and mittens unless they choose too not to stay warm. The management could of had called a repair team to fix the issue. I hope those affected seniors get some money back because of this.

Mayor calls Trump’s Sunday-night announcement a ‘senseless act of aggression’
SooToday 20It's 1939 allover again trying to appease a dictator. How could our government take Trump at his word. Agreements mean nothing.

Eviction delays at Landlord and Tenant Board driving rise in social housing rent arrears
SooToday 19There is a unequal balance of power in landlord/tenant relations. Tenants should have safe, maintained units free from bugs, rodents, and fire hazards. On the other hand good law abiding landlords should be treated with respect as well. Tenants should pay their rent, and respect the agreements they sign. There are some bad apples on both sides that create the unbalanced levels of power.

'Absolute nonsense' that King Charles isn’t supporting Canada against Trump: Shoemaker
SooToday 14His Majesty King Charles would have learned from the best example of a monarch his mother Queen Elizabeth II that no matter what they feel personally about a political matter they must always remain neutral in their public views. His Majesty has expressed concern in past for environment but he has tried to encourage people to look into his suggestions. But he will state how he feels about Trump. As for having King Charles as our figure head, it goes back to our historical roots and our status as part of the Commonwealth. Other countries have already spoke out against Trump and his attempts to "take over" Canada, it won't be the gentleman from the Ukraine who starts WWIII!!!

GALLERY: Legion members observe 80th anniversary of D-Day outside new building
SooToday 8All of our Veterans deserve our respect and appreciation. Those young men in our World Wars fought to preserve our freedom, never knowing if they would return home to see their loved ones again. I will always be proud of my Grandpa (a WWII veteran) who was one of the lucky ones who did return home, with life altering injuries.

St. Vincent Place looking for soup kitchen volunteers
SooToday 6It actually says on their website that the volunteer team is responsible for purchasing the food for the meal they prepare. So sadly that means that if you don't have the financial means you can't volunteer. It might be better to volunteer at the community soup kitchen in Jamestown.

Sault Film Festival hosting free summer movie nights at Bellevue Park
SooToday 6This sounds like it would be a wonderful date for my husband and myself after our year from misfortune. To go watch a movie together. We've always loved family and cartoon movies. Hopefully this is wheelchair accessible.
