BREAKING: Justin Trudeau announces he will resign after Liberal leadership race
50
i agree Carleton. It saddens me to read and hear the vitriol . The personal attacks say so much more about the attacker than who they attack. Are we dumbing so far down as a society that we are reduced to name calling instead of intelligent debate? Trudeau served his county at no small cost to his personal life. Can we not just wish him well and move on?

Thank you Mark. Very on point. It's a mystery to me.how Mcisaac thought this was going to be agreeable to council or the population at large. I doubt he'll resign, ego will prevent that but surely we should be actively looking for potential candidates for the next election

Talking to Trump or Ludwick is like having a conversation with a drunk person. There's really no point

Agree absolutely. But not just one. We need to have a choice. Mcisaac got in because there was no viable option and look where that got us. We should all be thinking about the people we know with leadership qualities and integrity.

Mcisaac should keep his voice off of this situation. Suggesting Trumps comments are a good negotiation measure is insulting to Canadians and honestly I'm offended and embarrassed he's saying this as our mayor.

To add to this unnecessary and very expensive situation we will now have a broken council who clearly will have lost trust and respect foe the mayor. What a boondoggle. There's so much to deal with these days. Teumo, threats of invasion, tariffs, multiple elections, weather events. So frustrating that this slap as Tim rightfully calls it is added to the list.

Wow. Hard to be proud of your city that tickets outreach vehicles serving our vulnerable population. And removes benches so people can pretend we don't have unhoused and/or housing and food secure people trying to survive. Poor Linda must feel her back is really against it with this happening while she is literally trying to keep people alive.

I imagine that's exactly the indigenous felt when all the French and Britsh arrived. What exactly have you lost?

Janet thank you for standing up to this. Please guide us as citizens how we stand up against both the strong mayor ruling and this decision on tbe CAO.

Sounds like you and your family have lived a blessed life. Many of us are wondering how our children and grandchildren will have housing security. I'd rather share my space and know my fellow citizens have a place to live than concern myself with how much privacy I have. Try to open your heart Carlton.

Imagine the ego it takes to do this. I predict a one term mayor here and do t let the door slam behind you

I know there is a wide range of issues for council to have on their radar but this does seem to be pushing it. These non essential issues take focus away from our very real and very serious problems that Orillia is dealing with.

I just don't get the sense we are a well managed city. Not now and not in the past. It's disappointing and discouraging. It would be very hard to sell Orillia to someone as a place to move to.

Is Gretzky a child? His wife, Trump and now Ford have gone public to ask us to "give him a break". I'd be so humiliated as a full grown adult to have people doi g that in my behalf. Be a weasel who cares. But own it for Pete's sake.

Why is that flag flying in Canada in the first place?

Perhaps their job is their priority and need their car to get to work. Just one of many possibilities. Careful not to get too judgemental, you never know when you might be in a position when people are presuming your circumstances.

What about road kill? We could give that to the less fortunate too? Seriously Canadians don't eat goose and this isn't a solution to helping people in need.

It is Doug Ford act that fits right in to his approach to political power. Mcisaacs USA influence is showing here. Thank you council for resisting.

Who even notices anymore? The snow clearing (or rather the lack thereof) has been terrible in Orillia for so long now they have successfully trained us to have no expectations of being able to use the sidewalks in winter. And the one and a half lanes on streets is just a fact of life. We drive to the park to use the trails because the sidewalks are literally not safe to use.

Seems like the mayor has 'trumped' the councils decision and due process. That's not how we do things here is it?
