OPINION: On housing, when opportunity knocks, no one answers

GuelphToday

We should not expect the feds to carry such a project beyond providing assistance on funding. Local residents should be better informed regarding the existing problems the community is facing. Professionals should be lined up to provide their expertise in solving the problem and then delivering the solution. We tend to criticize the feds for both a lack of and an excessive degree of involvement, without even knowing what it is we want, except to scream the threatening: Solve the problem; else we shall vote for your opponent. Not a very constructive attitude to bring to the table.

Two-year labour dispute taking its toll on Guelph actor

GuelphToday

Here's my isolated observation: The Provincial government has exacerbated the problem and hires non-union. The Provincial government is PC. I just completed a Guelph Today poll asking "If a provincial election were held today, what party would you support?" By far, the most votes were assigned to the PCs. I am left disheartened and confused.
