VIDEO: What is Doug Ford trying to hide? More than ever before
62Doug Ford isn't really a conservative; he's an elitist. Conservatives believe in small government, personal freedoms, balanced budgets, equality under the law, and low taxes. Ford does none of this. He relies on his ability to charm gullible people into thinking he's a regular working guy. Doug had a job waiting for him in his father's company, so he didn't bother getting a college diploma, university degree or a skilled trade. He isn't smart or skilled, he's just a talker, like a carnival barker or other salesman. He loves being among rich people and favouring his rich friends. He shows a startling indifference to basic rules regarding propriety while governing. Though he doesn't have his brother's addictions, he is just as embarrasing to have as our elected premier because of his other shortcomings. He will sacrific all principles for political power for himself, which explains his goal of stifling public access to government information. John HagopianWhitby

Get a sneak peek of the Guelph Public Library’s future archival space
GuelphToday 7The City of Guelph is steeped in history and it values it highly. This expansion of their library is fantastic and allows researchers to acquire the information needed to write their books and articles, which ultimately serve the interests of the City. The City of Cambridge is quite the failure in this regard, by design. Cambridge has established policies that undermine researchers and dissuade people from doing serious work on its history. There is no local history or archival section in any branch of the Cambridge Library system, and the microfilm readers they have are useless. The City of Cambridge Archives has no full time staff member, and it is closed during business hours except by appointment. Those appointments are limited to four periods of two hours in one week: Tuesday morning and afternoon, and Thursday morning and afternoon. Serious work can be done in such short installments. Cambridge is suppressing its history with its own archival policies.John HagopianWhitby

3Regarding "Northerner8686", comparisons with the USA are difficult to make given the political, legal and constitutional contexts compared to Canada and Ontario. But anyway, the Canadian health care system is in shambles and we are paying exorbitant amounts of tax money for long wait times. As for student debt, too many students in Canada are pointlessely getting post-secondary degrees that do not provide a decent education or career training. If students want to get these substandard educations, then they certainly should be the ones who pay for it. The 'huge disparity' you speak of regarding public school education districts reflects the fact that responsible parents are taking their kids out of regions that provide tasteless, liberal, politically-charged teachings, and are putting their kids in schools that focus on actual education. The divide between Democrat run regions and Republican regions is large due to the toxicity of liberal policies. John HagopianWhitby
