Province investing $500,000 to protect Sault workers from U.S. tariffs
SooToday 17I would expect that everyone that is hired to run this program is directly impacted from job losses from the industry. Not some recently graduated University student that never set foot in one of the industries.

Fed up with Sault College airplane noise, west-end farmer hopes petition takes off
SooToday 24We always enjoyed watching the airplanes of all types coming and going. It didn't really bother us growing up on Walls Road. This farm is further away than that. It's unfortunate that one didn't realize that if you buy a farm that is out by an airport that is already there that one might get to see airplanes!

Is this former Algoma Steel CEO one of Mark Carney's 'Brookfield buddies?'
SooToday 23The only individual of concern here is Mr Rajat Marwah. He is the only individual that was a key player during the Essar bankruptcy and now total reconfiguration of Algoma Steel. How that guy manages to survive at Algoma is amazing.

Most city staff are already in the office
SooToday 8During covid I had a job that I had to show up to work for. The people that had to show were subject to a higher degree of personal risk then the lucky ones that got to work from home. Now that the risk is over, I don't understand why the lucky ones that weren't exposed to the risk feel entitled to keep working from home. Get back to work...get back to the work place like everyone else. I agree with Mr. Ford

Defence investments could be huge for Algoma Steel, Vic Fedeli says
SooToday 14The steel plant needs orders. The steel plant needs the new EAF to start to produce. Without both it's a very challenging state of affairs for that company. CEO stepped down (retiring). Senior HR people have left. Senior Operations people have left. No secure investment from Federal and Provincial Governments on a new beam mill. It's dire.

Hydrant buried in snow delayed Sault firefighters
SooToday 18There is a fire hydrant across the street from my house. It's on city property at a city play ground. When the city plow goes by the ice and snow accumulate in front of the hydrant. In this instance I would hope that the city would come by and clean out the hydrant because of the compacted ice and snow it would be impossible with a normal snowblower to get to it. The don't. I have never seen the city or PUC clean out this hydrant. Yet they want everyone else to clean up the one that is near their houses. My utilities bill is $350 to $400 a month. I am pretty sure the utility is not run in the red. So I would hope that they start hiring some people to help out with this task. 1050 people from Algoma are looking for work. Hire a couple.

YMCA leadership gets earful from frustrated members blindsided by closure news
SooToday 12A great lesson for people that volunteer their time to sit on boards. When dealing with not for profits or any other type of institution that over see's public funds. Open communication is key. What is stinging here is the community had no clue that the institution was in dire financial needs for years. They kept that quite. If people had known 4 years ago, they could have rallied the troops then. It appears too late today.

Premier Doug Ford chooses new candidate for Sault Ste. Marie
SooToday 9This is not an ideal candidate. This is totally disappointing that the PC's could not come up with a local person. I would like someone that lives and plays here. That has a sense of what the really issues are.

Hollingsworth calls for mayor’s resignation from police board
SooToday 11You are telling me that we have a member of the Police services board that is also a city councilor and the city had no clue that there was going to be in the hole for that amount in the budget. Further this information was released at the same time the former Chief was running for office in an election. Not sure what our Mayor has against the former Chief but I would start there.

Sault Ste. Marie smothers a trio of proposed gas plants
SooToday 9The Blast Furnace consumes the same amount of natural gas that the city of Sudbury consumes every day. Now the blast furnace is not using any. So the city has the natural gas capacity coming to it. This proposed generation would still be way less than it has consumed. So you would have a net benefit of electrical power being generated, jobs and a taxes. I am confused as to why our city would be negative to this proposal. They are always taking about the need to diversify our industry but when someone reaches out to do just that it’s a no.

Catholic school board trustee wants to reduce travel expenses
SooToday 4The province mandates that School boards have a board of Trustee's. So if they are required to have a board. (Which they are) then they are required to have meetings. Having your Trustee's attend meetings is a cost of doing business. The Algoma district is a big place and should have representatives from the entire region.
