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.

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.

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.

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.
