Reply to Longtime 2:The budget was way of control before Trump or Carney came on the scene.The predecessor of Carney managed to double the federal public service in 10 years, fund very questionable programs, green initiatives that led to actual stealing of taxpayers money by shady numbered companies (some of whom were headed by relatives of cabinet ministers).It is an unforgivable mess yet they still won the election because Carney promised a more prudent approach.But so far uncontrolled immigration isn’t fixed, promised trade agreement with US (elbows up remember) by Canada Day not done, better control of spending but has announced many new spending programs.I wish it was a bad dream but it has turned into a real life nightmare and our children and grandchildren will be paying a heavy price for it.
This is heartbreaking.. there is less and less incentives for companies to keep investing in Canada. Our taxes, costs and government regulations are very prohibitive.But hey let’s keep voting the same people back in office.
This is a travesty!But hey let’s throw money at a useless library, HST removal on liquor and potato chips, and other ludicrous programs but let’s keep hitting health care!I very much appreciated the great PSWs at the GGH when my mother in law spent time there!Why doesn’t the health care system look at the over paid middle and upper management folks!Don’t touch, the PSW, nurses or doctors!
This is tragic.The generation that built this country being treated this way!All level of governments can find all sorts of money to benefit all sorts of popular causes but our seniors remain ignored.Shame
How about after a WW2 Guelph native Ken Macalister!He was tortured and died so that future generations could be free! The proposed are not relatable to most Guelphites!
As a Christian I find this offensive!Why is this being on the 3 most Holy Days of the Christian calendar- Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday?Canada you have forgotten your heritage!
With due respect I don’t think you understand the principles of running a business.Unless a location is earning some sort of profit, said business is under no obligation to maintain a facility.It is not a publicly funded business.How much it earns gives no obligation to remain open in an unprofitable location.It is not their fault that city planning in almost all of Canada has completely de-emphasized the building of communities near a downtown but instead emphasized keep building out, using up more agricultural land and creating new centres of cities, which are usually ugly strip malls. Our downtowns will keep dying if we continue on the path we’re going in. We could learn something from the old cities of Europe which are still very much healthy!
They simply don’t care.If the budget increase remains over 8% in 2026, the compounded tax increase from 2021 to 2026 would equal approximately 40%.This is a cowardly move by the Mayor. He is no friend of the middle working class taxpayer!He talks a good game but actions prove otherwise!
Wow I wish this media company did an expose like this on some Liberal federal cabinet ministers that have stolen hundreds of millions through shady family businesses eg. Minister Anand whose husband’s company pocketed $60 million dollars, the other Randy who denied having a company getting government contracts, the almost half a billion gone missing through dubious green deals .. btw this happened under the Wynn prov. Liberals who wasted millions on green deals.. I write this as a former prov conservative who will never vote for them again.But please be FAIR
What a sad commentary on what our once safe and crime free community has become!Thank you to liberalization of drug use, soft on crime laws and abandonment of traditional moral principles.We are now reaping the results of a society in decline!God help the future generations.
This list makes me sick!How is it morally justified that someone leaves their post in prior year and gets paid the year after.The 2 class system in this country is very well established.. the very well paid public sector and the rest of us poor working people in the private sector who pay for their high salaries, benefits and lucrative pension plans. This is not a just society and I am completely baffled why the average citizen doesn’t understand this or care about it.
We’ve accepted insanity!So much for the safety of my grandchildren after paying taxes so far as a homeowner for the last 39 years.I am beyond disgusted
My family immigrated here in 1967, we had 2 hospitals, negligible crime and a bustling downtown.Fast forward to 2024, one hospital with horrible service, crime at record high rates and a dirty and ugly downtown.We have digressed not progressed!
Isn’t it interesting that fascism is always fought against, but never any rebellion or fight against communism.If one actually studies history they will discover that just in the 20th century the communist dictatorships of Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, and Kim were responsible for the killings of well over 100 million people more than triple all the casualties of WW2!The Kim family still rules the tortured nation of North Korea and kills thousands every year but no one protests!The Nazi party, the worst form of fascism has been rightfully outlawed but does socialist communism really have a higher moral ground & should be allowed to have a party or is it that the university educated intelligentsia are very leftist leaning and ignore the horrific crimes of the past.
