BREAKING Province seizes control of troubled Near North District School Board
BayToday 17Supervisors have leadership and expertise in governance, finance, and/or public accountability matters. Electing a Board is more about popularity than ability. The students ( the future) deserve better and the taxpayer can't afford waste. Time for a complete overhaul. Doing the same thing over & over and expecting a different result is not only insane it is not affordable.

Feeding deer in winter does more harm than good: expert
BayToday 8What qualifies this person as an expert? I was an avid hunter for years trying to harvest the biggest buck. Searching the record books I discovered the biggest bucks came from States & Provinces that produced corn & grains. It is common knowledge that the bigger & healthier deer live on agriculture land. Feeding deer in the winter is beneficial to the survival of the herd.

OPINION: Bill Walton, Are we becoming blissfully unaware of the world around us?
BayToday 6We are not blissfully unaware; we are too aware. We have too much news and 99% is negative. Wars all the way to kindergarten children protesting Crayola stop making light blue crayons. Is there nothing good about the world. We should go back to talking about the weather

Opinion: Swedish symposium shows how poor Ontario’s moose management is
SooToday 4Moose Hunting was a great pastime until the MNR decided to manage the herd based on a model (wait, you got it) from Sweden. Now we are looking to Sweden for more help. Ontario's size is probably more than all 3 of the Scandinavian Countries. Why are we looking to other Countries for ideas.
