Your comment gives me some hope. It's encouraging to know that not everyone accepts the narrative at face value and that some people are willing to question what's happening. If more people engage, speak up, and work together, meaningful change becomes possible. Sometimes it's time for new ideas and new leadership. Respect
People in this city are looking for real progress on crime, drug use, and overall safety. Focusing on history has its place, but vote-chasing and optics won’t fix what’s happening on our streets. What matters most is clear, decisive action that makes Sault Ste. Marie safer, cleaner, and stronger today. Don't walk into my newsfeed trying to "image build" address the urgent issues many residents are dealing with right now.
Hitler took the guns, Stalin took the guns, Mao took the guns, Fidel Castro took the guns, Hugo Chávez took the guns... Governments that become dictatorships first disarm the population
A five-year ‘strategy’ right before elections (Oct) looks less like leadership and more like vote-chasing. Plans don’t fix potholes—funded action does. Lots of strategy, reporting, and timelines, but no guaranteed funding or real accountability. Without that, it won’t deliver results.
Totally understand the extension—but it does highlight how inconsistent enforcement can be. When some vehicles (pardee) park on the street all winter without tickets. A little more consistency would go a long way for the whole community.
I'm not against executives being paid well when a company succeeds. I'm against rewarding failure.When a company loses hundreds of millions, lays off workers, and benefits from public support, executive bonuses send the wrong message. Workers shouldn't bear all the sacrifice while management remains protected.A simple solution: no executive bonuses while major layoffs are happening or while taxpayer-funded assistance is being received. Accountability should apply to everyone, from the shop floor to the boardroom.
As a homeowner with kids, safety and accountability matter most to me. Growth isn’t enough. We need stronger enforcement and real consequences for crime and drug-related issues. A clean, safe community should come first. If our city is expanding, Families deserve to feel secure, and I want to know how this plan will actually make that happen.
Every time resource projects speed up in treaty territory, it’s worth asking—are the original partners in that treaty speeding up too? Short answer - No. In fact the treaty compensation’s been idling since 1875. Settler colonialism priorities are interesting.
2013, the SAH Board, CEO Ron Gagnon, and the Ministry of Health approved selling the old hospital for $65,000. Twelve years later, taxpayers are on the hook after the City, led by Mayor Matthew Shoemaker and council, paid $4.75 million to take control of the mess. Sault taxpayers got stuck with the bill. Where is the accountability? Nice legacy SHOEmaker.
"Temperatures are unlikely even to reach normal late-Marc" - Straight from the horses mouth, keyword "Normal". everything about this spring is abnormal by design. Thanks Canada for not enforcing weather modification laws. Stop the spray
Don't expect my comment to go public since I've been censored by sootoday, but here goes nothing.Climate change seemingly vanished since we needed data centers, stealing our water and power. but truth is we all know Canada has been manipulating the weather. Canada STOP THE SPRAY!
Let me get this straight, yesterday was an unknown gas smell that no one can explain. and now its -17 outside, showing negative temperature days following us into April? Where is my clean air spring? this is a bummer. Arctic air, more like Fartic air
