Poliviere is a 1 trick pony. His one slogan (carbon tax election) is gone. Without a script or prompter the guy is scarily inept at getting a point across.
Has the Mayor seen these occurrences first hand ("Mothers pushing their strollers with kids that are getting meth smoke blown in their face,”) ???Or is he buying into whatever will get him heard ?Sensationalism from a politician???
If I owned a downtown business, I'd close up shop, move to the perimeter, and come back fresh....in ...13 years??Might just a well start over with the downtown 🤷
OMG - STOP!! The same people whining about homelessness are often the same ones whining about lack of solutions ... Unless they're located somewhere else.
On the issue of accommodating the homeless, I can't believe how selfish the community of Guelph has become! Nimby-ism and monetary concerns seem to trump common decency.
The statement, though guised as an "opinion" is factually not possible. Not my opinion, because as things stand an election cannot be called until the process plays out. Just sayin'...
Here's a message for "Downtown Councillors": Downtown problems have NOTHING to do with the perceived "social" problems of society. There always seems to be a desperation plea to do this to "save" the downtown. The business behavior of many business owners result in frequently shooting themselves in the foot, with poor hours of operation, terrible service, and putting themselves before the customers.Guess what? Putting the customer first most often results in a better bottom line So, clean up your own act before sweeping them off to another place, rather than solving the problem, without self-interest of businesses and Councillors.
Encino Man, when I see the bike lanes being used by bikes as much as the sidewalks are used by bikes, I'll give bike lanes space in my brain to care. It puzzles me that so much attention is given to cyclists by our politicians... There can't be THAT many votes tied to this issue.
Splurfy, seemed to be grey until someone complained.Same as the bike repair lady...An area like Puslinch vs my residential Guelph neighborhood where I saw chickens/roosters yesterday? I'm not going complain.Someone needs to re-address the bylaw
I realize that's the "flavour of the month" response, but believe or not, some want to do business the traditional way and offer a service for a market price
