Local market will receive 'heavy fines' if they don't renovate or close

SooToday

A good example of over regulation, city planning should be working with the owner instead of putting up barriers. I realize part of it is the Ontario building code, but the cost of doing a permit that didnt include major changes or renovations is just ridiculous. They can also give him a reasonable timeline to make an accessible entrnace.

There's not enough people living out there that pay enough taxes to keep that road up to standard, it comes out of our collective pockets. I've lived in a rural area, I can't expect the same level of service as you would get in the city for example...

Poilievre says Carney's Liberals are 'counterfeit' Conservatives

SooToday

30

He hasn't learned from his failures. Instead of complaining about what the other guys are doing wrong, talk about what you're going to do, and why you feel is better. Time for conservatives to drop the rage talk pandering to people on the more extreme ends of the political spectrum, and focus things that affect every day folks, like taxes, cost of living and housing, etc. Provide details of their plans.

Neighbours upset by illegal rooming house in east end

SooToday

14

Though not appropriate, and should be pursued by city hall, but isn't it better then leaving these people out on the street? Rooming houses can be a relatively inexpensive form of housing, there should be rules and if not being followed then the landlords should be held accountable

Coun. Caputo refuses to cross border to attend tonight’s council meeting

SooToday

35

Certainly, I'm sure, that you can still attend by Zoom. We need conversation with our neighbours, not silence and boycott. I agree about not crossing, as I've not crossed since feb, but there are other ways to be able to attend and be able to voice your concerns directly to the members of the Sault Commission.

Angela Caputo: the Sault’s new champion of civility

SooToday

I live in ward 3 and I didnt vote for her, to be upfront. I don't believe she's complaining about the scrutiny she and other elected officials may be getting. To me it seems the complaint is about the tone and chosen words that she's referring to. You can be critical and respectful at the same time. Politics isn't about making everyone happy it's about doing what benefits the majority, despite the fact that there will be some that may encounter a negative experience with a decision made by our elected officials. The solution is simple, you want to speak out put your name to it, eliminate aliases and anonymity on these online forums.

Shoemaker and other members of Northern Ontario’s Large Urban Mayors group met with Premier Doug Ford on Monday to discuss ways to protect Northern Ontario’s economy, respond to the impact of tariffs, and create conditions for long-term growth.I think the best way to do that is to buy old stuff for millions and sell them off for $1...we will recoup so much in property taxes that we'll be swimming in money

U.S. and Canada restart trade talks after conflict over digital services tax

SooToday

Our focus is to look internally to improve trade between the provinces and remove internal trade barriers. We need to build a national network of pipelines and other power systems. Build out ports to diversify our trade options with Asia and Europe...we should be an energy super power. How anyone would indulge in "negotiations" with Trump is beyond comprehensible. The guy will negotiate a deal and change his mind because someone hurt his feelings.

BREAKING: Algoma Steel laying off more than 1,000 workers

SooToday

28

I wonder how many of these reductions can be accomplished through those who are eligible to retire, and those who are currently double dipping. Skilled trades people will have no issue getting work, its the unskilled labor pool that will suffer the job loss. Hopefully retraining opportunities can help mitigate the pain for those.

How many eligible retirees are still working? How many double dippers are still working? To me it would make the most sense to start there in workforce reductions. People who are eligible for retirement or are double dipping have an income to rely on. those who aren't eligible are the ones who will be most impacted.
