Fake news is news that comes from sources that are heavily biased. Since dropping Hockey from it's broadcasts, CBC is 100% dependent on government funding. There was a story last week about how Rosemary Barton got caught on a hot mic saying "It's all made up anyways". Check out the clip for yourself, and make your own judgements. All media is biased, it has to be, it's a business, that's why you need to go online and see the clips for yourself, and read and do some thinking... for yourself, issue by issue. Not trust mainstream media uncategorical on everything.The CBC is not the same as it was in the 80-90's and early 2000's, where it was a great media broadcaster. They have an agenda. They have masters to please. They also say they are public, but pay bonuses (aka "at risk pay") like they are private sector media.

Hockey president condemns parents' behaviour after Sault tournament

Take the parents out of the stands, and off the boards, and we might have a chance at kids sports being fulfilling and rewarding for all.Sadly this happens at all levels of sport, but in especially in soo Hockey, everyone thinks their kid is the next Nik Antropov... when really they likely are just the next "Taro Tsujimoto".

It's not the police releasing them it's the courts. This is a slippery slope however, towards a big-brother society. Who is to say the next investment isn't AI to monitor the cameras for tracking and other social experiments. It is already in progress in lots of locations... and we also have a license plate recognition camera...

Soo Jr. Greyhounds forced to forfeit championship game over state of locker room

SooToday

37

While actions have do have consequences, for instance you swing a stick at someones ankles, you get a two minute penalty for slashing, you sit and feel shame... then you go free. However, forfeiting a game (and series) for the state of a locker room, sounds a bit extravagant. I double-dog dare that pictures of the room be posted by NOHA.Let us see what forfeiting this game for. It shall serve as an example...Also doing this on the first occurrence, without prior warning, is unlikely, so if official warnings were issued, release the dates and paperwork.

Magg, give your head a shake, it's a health and safety /liability issue too. As the owner, he's liable for anything that happens. Use a little common sense...You go adding "extra" traffic to an already congested location, you are just asking for trouble.Better planning by NDP would go a long way. Go have your press release somewhere related to highway safety.

Conservative-backed petition calls for end of ‘co-ordinated mass candidacies’ in elections

SooToday

PP lost his seat for quite a few reasons, too much focus on the national campaign, he's somewhat unlikeable and was painted as "Trumps boy". As well, the liberal party spent untold resources on that area, rumors also swirled that "massive public servant cuts" were coming, and the ruling government definitely gerrymandered that district (redistributed the boundaries). The longest ballot didn't help, but if you do the math and count all the votes for CPC, they still fell short.Funny thing is: persistent rumor that "large scale public service cuts" are impending.

We will thank Terry for this. He is a genuinely nice guy and works very hard for the Sault.But we all know when the changes were made to these laws, and who did it.We also all know who has been shouting and yelling (or whining if you prefer liberal speak), in Parliament and the media.

Liberals look for majority in Monday’s byelections

Carney came in and took most of PP's policies that he screamed so much about. About the only play the liberals had after messing up so badly. A slim majority will help get things rammed through quickly... which may or may not be a good thing.Here is a script for a best selling book for you... one of the floor crossers is in fact a saboteur laying in wait, and will vote against the liberals when the time is right... let's say a confidence vote in I'd predict about 6-8 months, maybe sooner if the fuel taxes aren't dropped.For anyone interested in what's coming here soon, look at what's going on in Ireland right now (farmers protest).

Warmer, nobody loves Trump in this country, but guess what... he's in power for the next 3 years (maybe more), so you have to work with him/around him. Our government hasn't been able to figure it out, yet got elected saying they would fight him, which seems great... but in reality is stupid. Look at what good has come from it, nothing. Just pride. Lots of lost industries and jobs, gone. Forestry has been dealing with tariffs for almost a decade now with zero help from the feds. Zero.How do you deal with Trump? You make a deal, like Mexico is doing. Saying exports can move elsewhere is a pipedream, and not realistic for our "raw material" economy.You must keep your friends close and your enemies closer. That's negotiating. Not making speeches and flying around to Europe every two weeks. Europe is very insular, and quite frankly on the decline in terms of demographics. Wake up people.

It's not about bowing, but maybe we could get off our moral high-horse and stop poking the hornets nest... known as the President.11 years of poking Trump by Trudeau/Carney. Trudeau, once right after Trumps state visit while on his airplane on the tarmac, watching the press-conference... another time on a hot-mic at the UN. Yes a very nice awesome speech by Carney at the UN, which may have been true, but didn't help the country.Also the Government violated Cusma, by adding retaliatory tariffs in August 2025.Carney needs to be nice in public, nasty in private, it is the Canadian way. It's not bowing, it's being smart.

More housing under construction on West Side

SooToday

15

You are 100% correct, however, blaming landlords is just misplaced anger. Government is where you need to point the finger, and in this case mostly the Feds. As with most things, supply and demand are what control prices, and housing is no different. Canada has intense pressure on the demand side, while supply was gobbled up by speculators/investors because credit was cheap and lending rules were lax.Continued inflation and high prime lending rates will keep prices high. That's not even touching the ridiculous cost of building commercial/multi-family.
