U.S. pauses tariffs on Canadian goods for a month
93Trump backs down and announces it as a win.Mexico puts 10000 troops on the southern border, the same thing as in 2019, and 5000 LESS than Biden negotiated in 2022. What a fragile ego for the leader of the free world.

BREAKING: City looks at spending $4.75M to buy old hospital site
SooToday 23Commenters on here have been screaming for years for the City to TEAR IT DOWN. Now they will but we still won't be happy with it.There was no other option with the developer refusing to proceed.

MP Sheehan encouraging people here to buy Canadian to fight the tariffs
SooToday 51I believe there have been multiple meetings with the provincial premiers.The only one quite silent on the matter seems to be Mr. Poilievre. He just wants parliament back so he can trigger an election.

BREAKING: City council to consider $500K investment in YMCA, backstop 10-year lease
SooToday 56The city shouldn't be investing in the YMCA unless they are willing to invest in every other charity in town, you know, the charities that don't charge a $60/month membership fee. Y members should be paying the bill.

Doug Ford tells LCBO to bring back paper bags
SooToday 42People are used to bringing reusable bags to the grocery store so this isn't the time to be going backwards.And, if 'struggling families' can afford a $50 bottle of booze, they can pay $1 for a reusable bag.

14How do they call an election when they have no leader ? Do the election signs just have a blank space ? or is a dry erase board ?Educate yourself.

Axing the carbon tax would reduce the price of gas a lot: analyst
SooToday 45Oil companies already know we are willing to pay $1.57 for gas ( like it or not). So when the carbon tax is removed, prices will drop for a couple of months and then climb back to where they were. Build some Canadian refineries so we don't need to import from the USA.

Tony Porco’s Gateway site plans to be announced Friday
SooToday 48This land has already been on the market for many years. Multiple developers and native groups have tried and failed to bring their vision to reality.The last thing we want is a 'developer' to buy this prime land and leave it sitting vacant for years in anticipation of it increasing in value. (like the old hospital site). Here we have a local developer with plans in hand, ready to put shovels to the ground.

SooToday 48New Canadian refineries with east-west pipelines (and to the coast) would be a great investment.

SOYA depot closed until further notice
SooToday 47Because there is nowhere else to go for that kind of assistance ?It's VOLUNTEERS, how about cutting them some slack ? Or provide the service yourself.

$5M deficit forces Sault College to halt programs, freeze hiring
SooToday 16Money brought in from outside of the country and spent here is a good thing....it's time people realized that.....and there (sic) going back home after there (sic) schooling is complete.

Let’s turn city hall into a rocking, profit-churning, party place!
SooToday 35Before everyone jumps on these two councillors for bringing this forward.....The seventh floor observation area has sat empty for years and something should be done with it. It affords beautiful views of the surrounding area. The councillors are simply asking staff to come up with a way to use it and recover some money from the unused space.

POLL: Most support province's curbs on new bike lanes
24Leave it to the local government.It's a LOT easier influencing local councillors and mayor (or throw them out of office) than it is influencing Queens Park.

BREAKING: City council to consider $500K investment in YMCA, backstop 10-year lease
SooToday 39It was mismanaged. COVID contributed but membership was dropping prior to that. Seniors can't afford the monthly fee.Repairs not done. Pool closed all the time. Funding not applied for. In 2 years it will fail again and city taxpayers will be stuck managing a broken building.....for something that benefits so few. You can't count childcare because that can be handled easily by other agencies.

Shoemaker, other border mayors ‘nervous’ about Trump tariffs

MP Sheehan encouraging people here to buy Canadian to fight the tariffs
SooToday 39Last time I checked, getting into the USA involved passing US CUSTOMS, not Canadian Customs. They are the ones missing any drug shipments.And Canada accounts for only 1% of fenanyl entering the USAIt's an imaginary problem created by Mr. Trump to hit Canada economically.

The million-dollar plan to catch speeding Saultites
SooToday 18If the police are 'busy' sitting at the side of the road catching speeders, they're not dealing with real crime. Why not automate the parts you can ?
