BREAKING: Mayor Cam Guthrie won't be seeking re-election
GuelphToday 12Maybe out of touch with the common man. I'm a common man and have never met him. Here since 2009. There are different circles people travel in, when residents of Guelph and he never set foot in mine. So I don't know what to say about the man, but I do know he championed spending 10.2 million on 28 transitional housing units that don't include washrooms or kitchens. Lots of sharps bins though, and free crack pipes in the washroom, and all the naloxone you could ask for. A 60% property tax hike all things considered during his term. Bulldozing the downtown encampment and moving in huge planters in Winter to fill St. George Square with anything but people. Moving the encampment people into a rickety old past retirement home, stacking them 2 high in there. The cutting of Royal City Mission funding. The latest sunshine list, including the $200,000 earners. Never met him just noticed his footprints here and there.

VIDEO: Our prime farmland in Ontario is rapidly disappearing
22If you think this is bad wait until all the ground water aquifers, that took tens of thousands of years to form, have been pumped dry, and water becomes scarce. Now everyone points to the great lakes and says we have lots of water. Are we going to build a bottling plant at the great lakes and truck our water here? We keep giving away ground water to gravel pits and developers, never stopping to think the number of liters of water underneath us is already set, and someday we'll hit that number. Then we have about a week until a mass extinction event. Human beings are short sighted idiots, who pave over their farmland, cut down the trees, and remove water from the environment at a record pace. We need trees to breathe. The rainforest is nearly to the point of total collapse, after which new deserts will form. It doesn't matter from here, we have already assured that people will be scarce by 2050, and maybe all gone by 2100. And also we've put plastic everywhere, that never leaves

VIDEO: No matter the scam, there is one thing all fraudsters try to exploit
19Ok people. Here is how to spot a scam. Someone you don't know wants money. Somebody on the phone you can't see wants money. Somebody in your email in box wants money. Anything in your life that comes up that involves money that isn't part of your typical day is a scam.

New 10-storey private student residence proposed for College Ave. East
GuelphToday 16Whoopee more student housing just as students can't afford their OSAP and won't be coming. Also foreign student programs gutted. We will be in a student housing surplus before long. Let's build housing for the people who are here permanently and want to retire here. Senior housing of the affordable kind is what is needed.

OPINION: Construction is lifeline to downtown, not a death sentence
GuelphToday 11Gross overstatement. Seeing something and being over run with it aren't the same. Say did you see the park down by the boathouse? It was over run and ruined by a huge flock of 4 geese. They are everywhere now, just laying across pathways, Better you stay away from there too.

‘A tax on their people’: Trump’s tariffs are hitting Americans hard in the wallet
10Oh no America. Are you hurting economically. We're so sorry to hear that. We would help but right now you're being led by an illiterate baboon you put in charge of yourself twice. All you can do is sit and watch your baboon fling his at every passer by for a few more years. Don't worry, he can't be there forever.

After 170 years, Bank of Montreal is moving out of Downtown Guelph
GuelphToday 6I have been a customer of this branch for 16 years. In that time I needed to visit it less than 10 times in person. I usually stop by the convenient Stone Road Mall location. If I had small children I would not take them downtown to the George Square location because of the risks associated with that branch being a place where the drug addicts hang outside when it rains.

Royal City Mission to cut hours in half amid cuts to expected funding
GuelphToday 15I have been homeless in Guelph at a time where my legs stopped working due to a flare up of MS. I took a taxi for $5 to Royal City Mission at 7am when the stepping stone puts you out on the. Street until 8 pm. I laid on a blanket in a flowerbed until the Royal City Mission opened. The ONLY food and drink I had for the day came from them. I laid on the floor at the mission until 7 pm then took a taxi for $5 back to the stepping stone and waited to get a bed for the night. I am now housed but have no money for food. In January I. Will be reduced to 7 meals per week. When I was homeless and it rained I just got wet as standing in anyone's doorway was quickly frowned upon. When these cuts to service take effect it means the unhoused will be without food shelter.showers or laundry. If you only fed your pets 7 times a week you would be arrested.

Last chance to have your say on issues affecting Guelph
GuelphToday 12My only beef with Guelph Today is that they decide which articles will have comments or not. Seems we are barred from commenting on certain daily occurences in the community, by virtue of these no comment articles.

One-bedroom asking rents in Guelph drop $133 year-over-year
GuelphToday 12Does not matter what apartment rent is. Going on my 18th year of renting a room in someone else's house. Can't imagine how great it would be to have a private space free from roomies noise, mess and personality quirks. There is definitely a three class system in Guelph. Home owners, apartment dwellers and room renters, with some landlord having the audacity to rent rooms out as "sharing" which means two people to a room.

Province-wide Fight Ford rally draws crowd in Guelph
GuelphToday 4The only way to oust this cupcake is to make voting mandatory for all with stiff fines for not voting. Just the 500,000 ODSP recipients could be a good voting block against Ford because not even one would vote for him unless they lost their minds.
