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

95

What a wicked population we have become. The level of hatred towards a prime minister is an indication of a population that demands its choice every time. Dislike the person? Fine. Disrespect and personal attacks to this extent reveals we have lost a lot of grace and self respect as a country.

Trump wins back the White House in historic fashion

109

I don't quite understand Canadians who are pro-Trump. Get ready for 10% tarrifs across the board and US protectionalism. Like him or loathe him, he is far from a friend of Canada. It's going to be an even tougher 4 years for what's coming.

BREAKING: Premier Doug Ford to call snap election next week, sources say

$3billion is a lot of doctors and would have a much bigger impact on my vote. Family doctor or $200? Hmmmmm

Back to the polls: Prime Minister Carney expected to call federal election Sunday

Or maybe PP only criticizes and has shown no ability to lead a country with no experience other than being a politician?

Mark Carney’s first budget projects $78B deficit, program and civil service cuts

64

The accumulating debt is going to be a bigger and bigger problem. We had all sacrificed to get it down to $600 billion and finally, we were being smart. The comment “we are the envy of the G7” is like saying “we are the envy of the neighbourhood” with a massive home and expensive cars that we can’t afford and are maintained by a house of cards interest structure. Step one? Make it a law not one dollar can be given as foreign aid can be given when in a deficit position. For a guy who supposedly is a master of economics and finance, this budget is another step to handcuffing our children’s futures.

Yes they are now masquerading as Liberals

POLL: Federal NDP, Green readers shifting to Liberals

He has a clear majority currently. Can't really get a much stronger mandate.

Terri Harrison.....do you have any data or facts to back up your opinion because the existing data says otherwise? Most Canadians are comfortable with our ties to the monarchy.

What about an imaginary road ABOVE the 401! And I will create the feasibility study for $750,000!

Unlike PP, Jagmeet has a career that pays far more then being in government. This is a red herring and is basically false.

POLLS: Liberals hold a steady lead, and other poll insights

Not so easy to say that, I’m voting against another doubling of the debt. That’s my issue that means the most and the Conservatives are much more likely to manage the money better.

Uhm that stuff was always taught in schools.

This is Liv! They couldn’t care less about the environment or existing community fabric. It’s all about exploiting the land to maximize profits and then they will be gone.

POLL: Readers evenly split on Canada joining the EU

24

Seeing as though we are on a different continent, that’s not going to happen. There are countries waiting to get in to the EU that are actually in Europe. We are limited in our geography and tied directly to the US.

Simple simple simple. Keep funding tied to inflation which it hasn’t been. Stop short changing public education.

'Atrocious' licensing fee puts several Orillia short-term rentals in peril

Seems like a fair idea to level the playing field for the hotel and motel industry. Other then those cashing in on this most people are not in favour in having "de factor" STR in their neighbourhoods. Noise, insensitivity to full time neighbours, partying and treating the stay like they are in a properly zoned hotel.

Back to the polls: Prime Minister Carney expected to call federal election Sunday

14

Proves that PP appeals to a minority of people who can stand his negative, no solution, only criticizing track record. Millhouse couldn’t manage a city effectively let alone a country. After the carnage of the the Trudeau years, it’s shocking that the Liberals are poised to be re-elected.

Family shaken after theft linked to encampment near Orillia Square

OrilliaMatters

29

There are two issues intertwined. Homelessness due to misfortune or life’s events. And then… theft, drug abuse, violence, squalor, littering, arson and complete disregard for the environment don’t HAVE to go with homelessness. Homelessness has become synonymous with law breaking and disrespect for others. The sympathy stops there.

When $5 bet tables were around the casual gambler could spend $50-100 for a great night out. Now? All $25 tables and two-three hands your down $100. No thanks.
