Ontario projecting $6.6B deficit — including $3B in $200 ‘rebate’ cheques for all

BayToday

31

Can I call the Premier an idiot? Take that 3 billion dollars and put it towards something useful. Get your head out of the sand, we don’t need fancy license plates, beer in stores or a $200 cheque. We need money invested into mental health/addiction facilities. We need better health care, we need to regulate truck driving training to make our highways safe etc etc. . We need so much more than a $200 cheque. Have you been hiding under a rock? What a waste of time and money.

Best news in a long time. Now this is much better than a $250 cheque. Can we do something like this for the homeless?

Longtime. It wasn’t the “people” it’s been the last few city councils and Mayor who couldn’t make a decision. Waste of money. Maybe we need an arena, but it doesn’t have to be a palace.

Would people who are employable and use the service be interested in volunteering to gain experience and a positive work reference. This could actually lead to employment opportunities.

Gathering Place gets big boost from Davedi Club fundraiser

Get the people who eat there to volunteer for food stamps. It also gives them an opportunity to gain employable skills and work reference along with a sense of accomplishment. While we are on the subject, with regards to Dennis Chippa. If you really knew him, you would not criticize him. He’s done more than enough for that population including numerous unpaid hours during his own free time. He does not deserve the unkind words said about him and the nasty rumours. He’s also taking a pay cut, how many people would actually do that!!!

Local board's school cellphone ban extends to teachers, staff

BayToday

Seriously! Because parents complained that if my kid can’t have their phone then teachers shouldn’t be allowed. There are more emergency situations in schools than ever. Not a goof time to make such a stupid decision. There will have to be landlines installed in classes, bathrooms, hallways, school yard. Give your head a shake.

Let me get this straight. We are in a deficit of 3.6 billion dollars. Keep your $200 cheques and put 3 billion towards the deficit. This makes no sense to me. If anything help the homeless people out. Help the food banks etc.

Rob! Rob! Rob! Nobody cares what you do!!! Just a bit of advice- if you would like more votes that is…. Drop the $200 cheques and put that 3 billion dollars into our health care system. People are dying before their surgery 18 months down the road. Do the right thing Rob!!!

“Premier Doug Ford promised Wednesday to build a tunnel under the 401 and announced his government has begun studying the feasibility of the plan”Another “promise” to make things happen before studying the feasibility. Give your head a shake Ford. If you are going to lie at least try to hide the feasibility study somewhere in another paragraph.

This country’s growing population is more than it can handle. Close the border to allow us to catch up. Canada was not prepared for this. This issue is much bigger than bumper to bumper traffic.

MPP: Delayed Canadore addictions treatment centre will soon open

BayToday

Didn’t they learn from the warming centre location? Close to schools, daycares, nursing home. Sell it off now to a business or apartment buildings. Put this “ addiction centre” on the outskirts of town before all the businesses on lakeshore have to close. Lakeshore soon to be Main Street. Isn’t Ferris struggling as it is? Obviously, Canadore realized they chose the wrong location, hence the wait and refusal to comment. WHO makes this idiotic decisions? Get your head out of the sand!!!!

Add something for impaired drivers ( drugs and/or alcohol and fatalities caused by new CMV drivers who illegally paid for their licenses and did not get the required number of training hours and theory. No bail for the illegal trainers who are taking the bribes. Remove all chances of people fleeing to their own countries.

Bring camera footage to police. They should go to school and demand that the school identifies and pulls each one of those “ brats” out of school. Unfortunately, it often comes from the parents.

It’s not the highways that are “unsafe”! It’s the inexperienced, uneducated, careless CMV drivers and owners of CMVs which are not fit to be on the road that are unsafe. Is there a plan to force the government to implement stricter training guidelines?

There was never an option to vote. Why now? Why did they make us believe they were changing the school name, not the nickname. What a waste of time and money.
