I laugh at people claiming this man blew the budget. The Sault is within the top 5 dangerous cities in Canada! He did what he had to do to keep us safe and put people behind bars. Look to the federal government catch and release for the issues. Goodluck in Cornwall. It won’t be easy.
Shoemaker wants to grow our tax base. By doing this we are on the list for receiving an influx of immigrants primarily from India. We have seen with other communities this doesn’t work. While increasing our tax base is smart, drawing the best educated and professionals should be the priority as well as limiting the number of newcomers at once in order to assimilate accordingly. We don’t have the infrastructure, job availability and housing for unskilled workers
Meanwhile, Sault Ste Marie is congesting major streets causing chaos, delays and angry drivers. There are less people using these bike lanes than there are at the 12 million dollar cement patio downtown.
lol ok then reality check- put the lanes back to normal and the 1 time in 4 months someone is actually using the bike lane ill move over and give them a full lane. As for the mayors 'musings' the comment i made was directed at him to worry about more important local issues. i know it can be hard to make easy connections sometimes right?
I cant see how anyone would think this is "caving"- its negotiation 101: he put the export tariffs in- caused alot of damage and now taking them out for negation talks. We arent the ones that are starting this and it shows that we don't want to have to resort to this as our friend and ally. Its responsive rather than aggressive tactics. I think its the right call by Ford. Like him or not.
Why not change the lights to amber or flashing red (4 way stop) after 11pm like in Sault Mich? This city council creates problems and then implements the worst solution possible for this city.
