BREAKING: Justin Trudeau announces he will resign after Liberal leadership race
50i 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?

Orillia mayor, who spent years in U.S., unfazed by Trump's threats
OrilliaMatters 18Mcisaac 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.

Tree identifier plaque may be planted at Couchiching Beach Park
OrilliaMatters 19I 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.

City to spend $6.6M to refurbish cooling system at Orillia rec centre
OrilliaMatters 17I 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.

'Not so Great One?': Is the Gretzky name now toxic?
OrilliaMatters 16Is 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.

OrilliaMatters 21Perhaps 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.

Hunt geese, give meat to less fortunate to stem bacteria issues: councillor
OrilliaMatters 15What 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.

City crews scrambling to clear snow as Orillia braces for big storm
OrilliaMatters 15Who 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.

Many Orillia residents still heading south despite political tensions
OrilliaMatters 13It's a strange decision to holiday in a country threatening war on us daily. I can't get my head around it. Are they oblivious? Honestly I think anyone traveling to the US for vacation should stay there

Over 80? Renewing your driver's licence is about to get simpler

'It's sad': Dozens of downtown trees on the chopping block
OrilliaMatters 9Downtown especially the block between Peter and West is atrocious. The sidewalk is only one issue. The stores are not keeping their entrances swept and clean and the empty stores are just getting worse by the day. The lack of pride by the store keepers and the city is very evident. It's sad and embarrassing.

OrilliaMatters 4Have you been to the Rec Centre? Anyone can go. It's calm and very well set up. There's food and drink and assistance for anyone who needs it. Kids are playing in the gym. There are cots and blankets. Plenty of receptacles for charging.And the mayor will get power when his area on the grid does. No one's cherry picking by who lives where. You sound frustrated and I get that, we all are . But we need to be reasonable and patient.
