GuelphToday
14Caton isn't running again, which you would know if you spent 30 seconds checking. But don't let facts get in the way of your narrative. Some people we elect actually do try to make sure they do their jobs for everyone, not just donors.

GuelphToday 8Suspect the businesses, being largely shops, cafes, bars, restaurants, and hair salons, will be pretty gleeful at 400+ new residents who actually shop downtown rather than endlessly complaining about parking.

Council to discuss ending emergency overnight warming at city hall
GuelphToday 5If you read the article, Caton lists several of the reasons right there. As well, it's clearly stated the space is supervised. It helps to actually read the things you're criticizing first.

OPINION: Construction is lifeline to downtown, not a death sentence
GuelphToday 2At least once all this construction is done we have a beautiful concrete wasteland with a spattering of trees to fend off the increasingly sweltering heat. No real green space, no real "gathering" space, but we're paying millions to move the fountain and we'll be setting up lovely lighting that looks like prison camp fencing!

GuelphToday 2Putting aside the problems that would cause, that's not city property? What "officials" do you think could authorize that?

OPINION: Construction is lifeline to downtown, not a death sentence
GuelphToday 1We're not talking about other projects, Ed. This person asked if it could be done faster, and the answer is yes it could, which is why the City is paying millions to accelerate the speed of this project. Whether or not you trust construction timelines, or how other projects run by different companies in different parts of the city compare, is a separate issue.

OPINION: Still too many questions about the daytime shelter drama
GuelphToday 1Tell me you don't live downtown without telling me, etc. I live downtown, I shop downtown, I dine out downtown, and I'm there every single day. If the mere sight and sound of unhoused people or those suffering from substance abuse issues--largely limited to a one-block area--stops you from visiting a downtown including 5 streets and dozens of blocks, then you're just making up excuses.

OPINION: Downtown Guelph is ready for Instagram, but not for people
GuelphToday 1It is always fun as someone who actually lives downtown to see how it's described by business owners who don't, and people who might have stopped by twice in 2019. Residential is the lifeblood, and the future, of downtown, and everything should be catering towards that. Local business benefits from having a local community who are incentivized to spend their money there.

GuelphTodayInstitutionalization doesn't work. You will not find credible mental health professionals who advocate for that except in extreme circumstances.

GuelphTodayTQ please go at least briefly peruse the wiki articles for "pharmacist", "pharmacy", and "medication", and you might find your answers. I'll wait.

GuelphTodayIf it's price comparable I think being inside the building is a big draw. Don't underestimate convenience, it drives our economy.
