Ice storm, power outage push Orillia businesses into 'survival mode'
OrilliaMatters 13What a ridiculous and sad comment. These folks are the best of us,and deserve to be applauded loudly, and often. Instead of working so hard to dazzle us with your cynicism, maybe work on having 1/1000 of the level of altruism amd humanity they practice.

Doug Ford triggers provincial election
8I sincerely look forward to flushing my vote down the toilet in this riding. Issues have never mattered. Just whose team granpappie was on. Every vote wasted since Gord Smith and doc rynard (but for one brief period) Would love to be proven wrong. But, as always, it'll be the election Blues. Go team. Do the new online Ford ' tax'on-the-poor' betting sites allow an over/under wager? The money made could help with the Ontario place wellness spa. Ontario, yours to plunder.

'Worst times': Single dad fighting cancer becomes homeless
OrilliaMatters 9The article states some fraudulent activity led to the credit score issue. He's also been out of work for months due to cancer. I don't know anything about this man there than what I can pull out of the article. Your comment is uninformed amd insensitive, unless you have actual knowledge of what you state. And if you do, then you're just piling on and thats 'on you'.

COLUMN: Oval Office meltdown a 'truly sickening display'
OrilliaMatters 7Carleton, hard to equate Donny's strategy and intellect with a fox. Foxes don't hunt because of hate, anger, and false machismo. With president felon, the hurt and the hate is the point, and the gift, as you point out.

All Simcoe County school buses cancelled today
OrilliaMatters 7Freezing rain is occurring right now. Accidents on the west st bridge have closed the ramp to 400 southbound I have seen 4 people fall this morning so far. By all means, get all those kindergarten kids on those yellow tin cans, and show what you're made of....! Bunch of woke snowflake children right? Incidentally, the drivers do not make the decision, you might want to check that fact before playing the blame game. Driving can be risky, unexpectedly, see the 2 day highway closure, but, if you've got 'nerves of steel' why not risk it? It's just kids.

North, West, and Central zone school buses cancelled today
OrilliaMatters 5Who knew all you need to do is look out a window and decide that whatever you see is a- going to going to stick around all day, and b- be the same in all the weather zones across a massive county? 50 car pile up on hwy 11, guess those folks didn't have a window.

Orillia's Waste Diversion Site will soon be closed on Mondays
OrilliaMatters 6And maybe tell people what the real cost is, since it doesn't cost 30 bucks to get rid of a mattress and box spring. You are charged 75.00 bucks. They say it costs 50 bucks to ship it to Toronto so either it's one a time, or they're stiffing us to ship 50 at a time. I suggested that's why people are dumping them at the side of the road on the county roads. They defend that they didn't rip me off..your fee statement says 30 bucks, then it costs 30 bucks. You charge me 75, then the cost is 75, quit the deception and sleight of hand. The mattress I discarded was to help a friend. Staff's response was 'don't do anyone a favour' True story.

North and West Zone school buses cancelled today
OrilliaMatters 2Weather experts say 'possible' deliberately, because they know squalls are unpredictable. Have you never been in a car when white-outs happen you didnt expect? I've been in a vehicle many times when its calm in Oriilia, and near zero visibility in Hawkestone, not clearing until Mapleview again.Harrowing isn't it? To not be able to see? How about if you had 10 or 60 passengers in a tin can on wheels? Would you accept the oncoming liability if a tragedy happens? Or simply decide it was worth the risk? Snowflakes ,these kids just need to toughen up. If parents drive their own kids to school and something happens, that's terrible, doesn't an unnecessary mass incident make it worse? Yes, it's inconvenient, no question. I sincerely doubt anyone makes the decision lightly. Especially in today's angry online world. Schools are open.

City taking measures to prepare for potential ice storm this weekend
OrilliaMatters 1Westy. 'Fear is a very good driver of anxiety'? Fascinating, please expound. Also, 73% of the time forecasters are wrong? Really, also fascinating. Maybe they forget to factor in the flat earth?

All Simcoe County school buses cancelled today
OrilliaMatters 3Teachers don't cancel the busses. Bus companies don't cancel the busses. School boards cancel the busses. Don't let your anger get in the way of the truth. In the weather forecast for today in plain sight in English, for days, is a chance of freezing drizzle or rain. If the forecast is for possible, yes, possible hazardous conditions, no one should be forced to drive, even teachers. So many of you show a false sense of invincibility. Little Colton might be held back a bit in his Relativity breakdown due next week, but a stay in the hospital might have affected him slightly too. Schools are open. Gas stations as well Sidewalks are passable, unless the freezing rain happens, but, really what are the chances of that happening? Or is a self-validated opinion all you need? Back to the usual trigger anger..Trudeau, Ford, canada post, squirrel,...

OrilliaMatters 2Barrie citizen, I guesss you don't get my 'DRIFT'...,I'm mocking the idea of looking out the window and deciding all is good. The poster being replied to always criticizes the decision to cancel the busses. They have a window, apparently the metereologists don't. The school boards, consortium, drivers, teachers should just send'em along, they're just too soft...snowflakes. I have always, amd will always say it's not worth the risk. Or the lawsuits if/when...

OrilliaMatters 2Barrie Citizen, I'm proud to not know there's an international symbol for sarcasm. I only post when folks post uniformed, ill thought out positions that are mostly just online potshots at people in this case, all the decision makers , who I have confidence, make the call because they don't want kids hurt. If Monday's a snow day, I'm sure it'll be another day of tantrums. I thought the comment that all the people involved in the smash up on 11 simply didn't look out the window was a strong indication of the sarcasm...
