The residential streets don't need to be scraped down often. So for the 2 or 3 times a season this is done, there should be a payloader behind the grader to scoop up the ice at the end of each drive way and drop it on people's front lawns. It doesnt take much effort. The city used to do this, im not sure why this has changed, especially considering our taxes have gone up every year... if the city are short staff, im sure they can subcontract this work to a local contractor, it might even be cheaper this way anyways.

Since Ledcor has won the highway maintenance contract, it's been disastrous. Im surprised at the lack of maintenance in some areas and why the MTO doesn't step in and demand repairs.

The only way to get in and out of the mall/bay street will be near Gore/Andrew street near Wendy's, or coming down Bay from Huron Street. What a mess

Ontario's hallway health care problem worse than ever, hospital data shows

It's a tricky situation that will take multiple levels of government to fix. I don't think the long term solution is 'more beds'. I think we need to look at why there's such a large rise in injury and illness, and work towards fixing that!

Submit a court order to liquidate these properties, tear them down, and then sell as vacant land. We need to re-develop the downtown core, gentrify the area, lower property taxes to incentivize small businesses and developers!

Elders warn of ecological harm from glyphosate at Highway 17 protest

This is actually something that everyone should be concerned about... you cant think of this as the same as spraying your front lawn, this has very damaging effects, not just for biodiversity, but also to humans, sprayed over our heads for us to breath in. All this effort to reduce unwanted invasive species. There has to be a more targeted boots on the ground solution rather than mass spraying.

2025 was the third warmest year on record. What does that mean in Canada?
SooToday
11
The climate has been constantly changing long before humans first discovered fossil fuels. That doesn't mean we should continue as is, but there are definitely more concerning pollutants with fossil fuel emissions rather than just carbon... I believe the real issue in the last century is the degree of global deforestation followed by replacement with mono crops or monoculture tree plantation, as well as the 'paving over of paradise' that is creating localized heat domes. What's also funny is that most of the Environment Canada weather stations that are used to evaluate our annual temperature trends are located at AIRPORTS, areas surrounding that are constantly growing and developing, adding fuel to the fire with respect to the heat dome effect which in return inflates the data trends.

Sorcery, poisons and Dracula costumes: Doug Ford would definitely hate these courses
SooToday

These sound like complementary courses, which is fine, I guess, if you're interested. Although Doug mentioned basket weaving “courses,” what I think he meant was entire programs that ultimately don’t lead anywhere, such as Social Studies, Fine Arts, or History... no doubt these are important in society, but to base a whole 2-4 years program on it and expect a job afterwards is ridiculous.
