Sault 'totally screwed over' by carbon tax, Pierre Poilievre tells SooToday
SooToday 63It all sounds good but.... What happens to all the campaign promises once a politician gets elected? Sorry but I don't believe 90% of the statements coming from anyone running for any political office!

POLL: Readers roughly split on Canada Post strike
55While I do sympathize with small businesses that really need postal services, I imagine that most residents care very little about mail delivery. It's far easier to do everything online. I would think that postal workers would be nervous about their demands, in case they are soon to be permanently unemployed. Sorry but I believe that day will come. Many businesses that we once thought were here for forever, are no more. Just look around.

Algoma Steel consulting with the government over Trump’s new tariff
SooToday 56Trump, the angry dictator and Putin lover needs to learn quickly, that Canada will not just lie down and take it from the bully next door! Those in power in this country, please do something asap. This is not the time to remain "the polite Canadians"!

Sault’s first meat-free restaurant calls it a day
SooToday 41If the closure is due to government red tape, that is shameful.

Trudeau’s temporary tax break to provide 'meaningful relief': Sheehan
SooToday 62"WORKING Canadians"? So those who are RETIRED and paying more for rent, more for gtroceries, more for gas, more for tv & phone, more for clothing, etc. and are on a fixed income, don't count? That could cost Trudeau. We vote too! If I'm mistaken, please correct me.

'We've had some bites:' Canada Post reminding residents to keep dogs secure
SooToday 53Even though it's clearly against the law, I still see people everyday, letting their dogs run loose while they are taking them for a walk. "My dog needs exercize". "I guess you don't like dogs". "You've never been attached to a pet". Blah, blah, blah. No, it's against the law. Simple.

Snowmobile club pays 20 cents a year to ride on city roads
SooToday 18I guess the snowmobilers, will of course, follow all the rules? Respect peoples' property, stay on the trails and don't drink. Uh-huh. Think about it. Furthermore, local drivers are still angry about the bicycle paths and even angrier about e-bikes. I also notice that the speed limits which are posted everywhere, are mostly ignored. Let's see how this new "fun activity" develops. I feel sorry for residents who live anywhere near the "fun areas". They'll be hoping for a very early spring!

Seven Ontario seniors in hospital fined $400 a day for refusing transfer to LTC home
SooToday 47Is there an island somewhere, way up in northern Canada where sick, old seniors could be shipped? Probably no doctor would want to work there and it might be too far for any visitors. But at least they'll make room for others who need a hospital bed? The people making these mean and heartless decisions will be old someday too, so they should be very careful about what they are potentially creating! It might be their turn sooner than they think.

BREAKING: City council to consider $500K investment in YMCA, backstop 10-year lease
SooToday 49I wonder if the public will ever learn how the YMCA got into such financial difficulty in the first place. Isn't this something that should be investigated so it isn't repeated? It has to be something more than just poor management! What is it?

Got on opinion on speed cameras? City hall wants to hear from you
SooToday 18Money well spent! Hopefully, these cameras will soon be everywhere. Too many speeding drivers in this city who experience no consequences for their bad behaviour behind the wheel.

Sault renter caught in middle of legal battle over home owned by out-of-town landlord
SooToday 47Oh my Moxness! I wonder how many other cities have the same situation happening with the Moxness family? The apple rarely falls too far from the tree and it's evident that the Moxness tree has borne fruit. Can't a lawyer be hired to start a class action law suit and stop these two or does this just go on forever? Poor tenants who are in the middle of this mess!

Declaration of state of emergency not necessary during heavy snowfall, Shoemaker says
SooToday 41Soo Reader asks about declaring "a state of emergency" so I must ask how long that Reader has lived in Sault Ste. Marie? lolol My laugh for the day!

Councillors voice concerns over apparent lack of action by YMCA
SooToday 38Something doesn't "smell" right. Wouldn't a properly run business be aware that their memberships have dropped significantly. Would they not realize when it's past time to start "selling" memberships? That might be quite important to their operation I would think! I wonder who is responsible for that oversight?

Doug Ford tells LCBO to bring back paper bags

Ricki's and Cleo to close stores while Frank and Oak seeks creditor protection
SooToday 33When I shop at a retail outlet, I expect customer service. A young person all alone in a store, sitting at the cash register playing on his/her phone is NOT customer service. Sometimes, a customer will be fortunate to even hear "hello". This kind of situation is an indication to me that this place doesn't care if I ever buy anything from them since they haven't bothered to even train the staff. So I leave and most likely will never return. I'd be happy to teach customer service. Maybe then there would be an increase in sales and fewer store closings!

Councillors want to cover up more traffic signals for another study
SooToday 26The lights at Queen St. East and Church Street have been irrelevant for years and in my opinion should be eliminated permanently. What do others think? (Let's do our own survery.) :)
