I bet a lot of people who use fentanyl read these articles. All they care about is their next high, not help. Tired of the enabling and glad the safe injection sites are being closed down near schools. For once the Ontario Govt. is doing something right.

Rescind the decision to build a shelter village period. Geez, more flip flops than a summer sale at a she store.

Sorry,but don’t agree with this one.. I am status, but tired of the money being giving to those who feel entitled, money given goes into the pockets of leaders who don’t lead, they just keep taking it from their own communities and live the high life. When will this stop, when is enough enough?

Have police, fire and ambulance been consulted? I know most of the community does not want the encampments at all. Will they be policed to make sure the rules are followed? Are they policed now? Will this be a by law, and if so, who will enforce it?

No, no to encampments at all, especially in a park. It feels like we are getting taxed twice, one for a park we can’t use and once for people who get to live there for nothing. We pay for sewer and water, no free facilities, we pay for garbage pick up. If you have to put one anywhere make sure you build a nice fence so the visitors to our city don’t have to look at it. The City said the village would fix things. Apparently not. There’s a nice big building on the waterfront that could house many of them….some kind of art facility, well the encampments could be art right there. Depends how you look at it.

Whoopie! Not impressed, would say I don’t care, but I do. Hence another tax increase. This city is a mess.

I understand the frustration. Can you imagine being a paramedic, firefighter or police officer in the community these days? Not saying he was right or wrong. Kinda hope he gets a light sentence and gets to keep his job or no sentence at all like everyone else gets. Same for Mr. Frankow.

You are not supposed to be driving an ATV around town with or without a helmet.

If they are driving a truck and feeding the ducks food they are not starving.

Nope, you want police to do their jobs or not? They have enough on their plates as it is.

Do I have this straight? Vendors quit going there because the city charges too much, and now they want them back? At what cost to the vendor. Please make up your mind.TBay !

#1 This is a Provincial issue, go to Queens Park for your demonstration.#2 It doesn’t have to close, it has to move.#3 You want to stop deaths from overdoses, stop drug use.

Why don’t we let go of all the firefighters, police officers and paramedics, see how that works for you? Let’s spend our money on a soccerplex instead, you know, we all want and need that.

Well isn’t that convenient. All the amenities and a River to float around in. They’re lucky…they get A/C too.

Probably a good idea to step back from this one and let the union work for their employees just like police and fire services did. You don’t want to make enemies with any of our emergency services. They are all valuable.

Haven’t heard a lot of good news for the north from Ford in ages. Pretty easy to tell he is campaigning. Try working on Hwy. safety Doug…if you can’t double the Hwy. Up here, you can sure do something about driver training for heavy haulers. Hwy closure cost Southern Ontario taxpayers too.
