Proposed development across from city hall loses some height
GuelphToday 7Agree! Also that rendering is pretty disingenuous: with the implied setback in that image the building would be built on top of Macdonell Street. Even at 10 storeys it will be an eyesore flagrantly breaking the height restrictions...and density is only created when rents are set at an attainable level. Empty condos don't count towards density.

City offering free two hour parking at the Macdonell St. lot
GuelphToday 2This won’t be popular but it’s time we had paid parking in the south end of Guelph. This would help balance municipal budgets and encourage people to shop downtown and avoid the box stores.

AI author to take part in Eden Mills Writers' Festival panel
GuelphTodayIt appears that some authors had a knee-jerk reaction to the letters "AI", and decided to shut down this community conversation about the ethical boundaries and relationships with AI instead of pausing, googling "Aiden CinnamonTea", and reflecting on how this panel might have been interesting and productive. I'm sad I don't get to see it!

VIDEO: This Ontario man says ChatGPT sent him spiralling into ‘AI psychosis’
For everyone being dismissive of this story, you don't seem to have a very nuanced understanding of human behaviour. Listen to the podcast "Flesh and Code" for a more in-depth exploration of how manipulative and immersive AI can be.

Robert Munsch tribute recommended in ‘final’ St. George’s Square design
GuelphToday...or name the play structure after Robert Munsch? It seems counter-intuitive to remove a play area for children to honour a children's author. He definitely should be honoured somehow in Guelph though — I grew up outside of Ontario and his books were a large part of my early childhood.
