Local steelworker who wouldn't shake PM's hand says it wasn't 'for attention'
SooToday
99He might well know that neighbour well enough to make that comment. You, on the other hand, probably know neither Mr. Mero or the neighbour, yet you feel qualified to discount his opinion. I know many people with disabilities that work, so having a disability doesn't automatically give you a "get-out-of-jail-free-card" to not have employment.

'Quite an impact': Surrounding communities brace for Algoma Steel layoffs

Ford, Stiles push back on U.S. criticism over Canadian wildfire smoke
SooToday 75My son-in-law is a forest firefighter. He works 19 days on, 2 days off in fire season. Super dangerous job, sometime even when it isn't the fire. A couple of years ago, they couldn't stay on site overnight to fight a fire because of a Polar Bear lingering in the area. They jump out of helicopters from 15 feet in the air with full equipment. Lug equipment through virgin forest to get to sites. Work in bug-infested swamps in extreme heat wearing PPE. They deserve all the pay they can get.

Poll: Liberals would likely gain support with a new leader
19Pretty naive to think that anyone you might elect will be better. Politicians are all "in it for themselves". Elect a Conservative if you must. You will all be back here six months later begging for a Liberal/NDP/Green Party member. It is the nature of the beast.

Details revealed for new YMCA lease agreement with city
SooToday 37We will see a new city council if they accept this ludicrous deal. The tax-payers (majority) do not want this deal.

Canadian Army reservists conducting roadside fitness marches in northern Ontario
SooToday 7If it is only a training exercise for fitness, there is no need for them to be carrying their firearms. They could simply carry weights to simulate the additional weight of a firearms. With that alternative, there is no excuse they can present that would justify carrying weapons in a public area needlessly.

BREAKING: City council to consider $500K investment in YMCA, backstop 10-year lease
SooToday 50Well said. I saw this coming and mentioned it in previous stories here. This city should not be baling out private entities, charitable or not. $500,000 "comes with some risk", ... yeah, right. This city will be on the hook for a lot more than $500 k before this is done. It makes me sick to think these councillors spend our money like we have it growing in our back yards. I will bet councillor Kinach votes against this.

POLL: About three-quarters back higher defence spending, accept tradeoffs
14The biggest threat to our sovereignty comes from the USA, not other nations of the world. Canada could triple the military spending and still not produce an armed forces that would defend us from a US invasion. The Manifest Destiny and the Project For The New American Century have other ideas.

‘People over party’: Community members gather for ‘No Kings’ event in Sault, MI

These Sault councillors want to drive fast on Highway
SooToday 26I can tell you the answer they will get from this motion. The reason the speed limit won't raised is because there are intersections that directly enter the highway and cross an entire two lanes to reach lanes on the opposite side (think the intersections like Belleau Lake Road, Syrette Lake Road, Church Street, Watson Road, Bar River Road, and every road east of there until the two lane two way traffic. None of the Southern Ontario 110 km/h highways have those situations. The difference in distance travelled is the 110 km/h car will travel 45 feet further with the average reaction time of 2.5 seconds to apply the brakes. Then there is the additional stopping distance due to momentum. Nope, keep it at 90 km/h and keep people safe.

Kinach hasn’t decided whether he’ll apologize for ‘inappropriate’ remarks
SooToday 43Maybe the voters should start a "Go Fund Me' to reimburse Mr. Kinach for his lost wages if council decides to punish him. BTW, ... since when is his money for being a city councillor called a "wage"?, ... I thought it was considered an "Honorarium"?

Remote work about to end for thousands of employees
SooToday 30As an employer (which the Provincial Government is), I would want to have control of the work performance of the people I was paying. That can only be done with monitoring through supervision, and work volume performance. It isn't the responsibility of the employer to worry about child care. You are ultimately being paid by the year/month/day/hour, ... some factor that makes you responsible for giving up your time for a set number of hours work. If your work-day is 8 - 4 with a half hour lunch and two 15 minute breaks, then you owe your employer7 hours of work. That doesn't include leaving for 5 minutes to pack your kids lunch, or 5 minute to put the dog out for a squat, or 5 minutes to get supper going, ... it goes on. Spare me the "living like a Boomer" rhetoric, and do your job the way your employer expects, ... not on your terms. If you don't like it, look elsewhere for work.
