NDP leaves door open to supporting minority Liberal government budget
73I do not know of one young family, a senior, a veteran, a farmer, a small business owner, a victim of crime, or someone suffering with illness who is better off since the Liberals have been in power, and with this budget, I am not about to find anyone in the coming years.

Hospital governance shake-up alarms Orillia community leaders
OrilliaMatters 20If the hospital board has such complete disregard for our veterans and the community, that they will not only remove representatives without any input from the two groups impacted, but even entertain the idea in the first place, then what else are they planning to change behind closed doors? OSMH has a significant history of providing exceptional care under very challenging conditions, but it has done so in part by the generous contributions of said veterans and community. Any board member who agreed with this decision should be dismissed, and new members chosen, ones that have a thorough understanding of the value of our veterans and our community.

It's official: City 'has lost its voice' at OSMH board table
OrilliaMatters 3So a very small group of people decide to make a change to something that has been in place for over 100 years, and they do so, with NO discussion with those involved, including the community that they serve, and they succeed with NO repercussions whatsoever for their blatant lack of transparency or accountability. What will this hospital board do next? Not too much for the next three years while they allow a connection to the legion remain (definite backpeddling) because they need to appear to be "listening" to said community while they raise funds for the new hospital, and then in three years, wait for it, they remove Mr Gordon's position, and complete what they wanted in the first place. OSMH is a community hospital. It may need more space, but it is not "lagging" behind in governance.Those two positions were a vital part of making OSMH what it was. Now a few people want it to be like the rest of Ontario hospitals--is that really a wise move?

County weighs mandatory green-bin use for garbage pickup
OrilliaMatters 5The County has forgotten that well known environmentally friendly thing called composting....so what do families that compost do come November? Put a few perfectly compostable items in their green bin to satisfy the latest rule for waste management and the rest in their composter? Next thing you know, there will be a new position at county to go door to door to examine everyone's composters to ensure compliance--does no one see how overreaching this is getting?

Hospital governance shake-up alarms Orillia community leaders
OrilliaMattersOh just wait, wouldn't surprise me that this board already has plans for a change of name for the new hospital. After all, its the thing to do these days---remove anything related to our history.
