City urging patience as it deals with snowmageddon
SooToday
47We have received an astronomical amount of snow. The fact the roads are still passable is a feat in and of itself. Not many cities in ontario could cope with the amount of snow we've received. Everyone is doing a great job!

Poll: Most support tighter controls on online porn
36I think this can be done at the local level (i.e. parents)... children should be growing up with 0 expectation of privacy on all online devices. You don't have any anyways, it might as well start with the parents monitoring the usage. No "alone" time online, whether that's physically watching or using one of many available apps to monitor this.

Should we build a multimillion-dollar parking garage downtown?

SooToday 3@Lovethenorth, sootoday isn't as successful as it is because of boring, non-click-bait headlines.I agree, it's silly - but it's not free to provide this service. Maybe they should make that an option for paid subscribers - alternative "normal" headlines. Ha

GALLERY: Snowbirds show off impressive tricks along waterfront
SooToday 2The only downside is they're not able to do a full aerobatics display downtown due to safety rules. I'm not sure what the solution could be for next time for the traffic. Regardless, it was still a great non-aerobatic show and even better that so many people could get to see them much easier than back in 2009.

City hopes to save up to $400,000 on snow, ice removal
SooToday 1Yeah hopefully they don't touch it - warmer lake temps will make for the possibility of much worse lake effect snow events, Christmas 2022 a prime example. You seem to be right about approx every 10 years, record warmth last year broke the record from 2010, things are trending up. "With the exceptions of 2014 and 2022, average winter temperatures have remained above the baseline average since 1996."source - search for: "Climate Trends and Variations Bulletin - Winter 2023/2024"

SooTodayNot 100% false, but like everything else, attrition playing a huge role. They've been talking about this for decades!! Teachers are hanging on a bit longer because it's a job that people can typically stay in longer before retiring vs physically demanding jobs - but this is happening everywhere/in all fields.
