So…encampments in laneways is acceptable and does not break by-laws? City parks with slides and swings and climbing equipment meant for transients and not children? How is it that there is a no trespassing after a certain time at the waterfront but everywhere else it becomes a ‘free-for-all’? I read stories through our country of cities that do remove encampments. We, the taxpayers, are becoming uncomfortable while this city spends our dollars, our resources, to ensure the homeless are comfortable? Just don’t get it
Condolences to the deceased’s family. Whether this was an interruption in a break and enter or not, this was a premeditated plan of attack, not an accidental one. This sick perp should spend years behind bars. No slap on the wrist and should be incarcerated for lots of years. I’d like to see the Premier of Ontario and his reaction to such a heinous crime. A home is a man’s castle and nobody should have the right to take that or the man’s life away! You are a sick individual and you will be caught!
Sure hope the judge is happy in their decision to release these criminals the first time around? To me, these ‘breaches’ indicate two things:1: A lack of respect for the law2: A lack of human intelligence
If this story is about Brian’s inability to run a business and tend to his curricular activities, could he not have chosen to entrust his employees with running the business? Just a question.
I remember being 15. I remember not getting home at the times my parents asked. I don’t think it’s a parental thing every time a teen disappears from home. This isn’t a race issue. This an adolescent that could possibly be rebellious to parental rule. White, red, green or blue, we all should hope that they are okay. Finger pointing and claiming parents are the problem is the same as stating someone is guilty before being able to prove innocence. Not cool, people
By building these tall buildings and these multiple dwellings, aren’t we ignoring the fact that we are changing landscape which then changes the way the environment (weather patterns for one) behaves? What ever happened to the carbon footprint? Whatever happened to green space for animals and insects to thrive, for trees to create oxygen and filter our carbon dioxide levels? More people means more or a toxic environment across the planet
We should waive all rules and regulations, all laws and bylaws, all social expectations for the homeless. They should get everything for free. Is that what the sympathetic hearts want? Handouts aren’t a very prosperous idea. It just keeps digging further and further into tax payers pockets. I know…I’m socially wrong on this point
Call me dumb but where’s the pavers out on the deteriorating roads in the rest of town? My vehicle is being physically abused. On this subject, Tbay council should look at turning this north core into one way street flow because, at times, only 1 vehicle can safely make it down the streets
Drove past McVickers Creek yesterday by the armoury. No tents or shanties, just a whole lot of garbage. Drove past Prince Arthur’s Landing yesterday. Just one tent and a whole lot of garbage. Did we already build transitional housing because there was a lot more ‘homeless’ people camping out during the summer?
Water main break? I’m on Machar and water can’t drain because ice build up is 4” thick on street. Hey! Just a thought. Don’t plow any streets until the first thaw. Then go plow so drainage is continuous…geez
When will these people start to see life sentences? When are killers going to be appropriately incarcerated? What does it take nowadays for true Justice? How many more innocent must die?
