Doug's a Conservative, and Conservatives have an ideological hate of the environment - really they always have and always will. This is not an accident - the most effective recycling system, perhaps in the world, is being dismantled by Doug's Conservatives on purpose, it is an active destruction. And we are paying for it with the taxes we are forced to give him. How long will you keep voting for this?
Oh boy, instead of CBC news, pp will give the stations over to FOX. Conservatives hate the news because they depend on the BIG LIE, and the legitimate news agencies call them out. But not FOX, they are all in with pp.
Sad that a few vocal people will do away with fireworks. Is it really such a big problem or is it just another squeaky wheel that goes all "month hood" and there we go. Seriously - is it really a huge problem? Deaths? Injuries? Fires? none I believe. Get a grip council - there are more important issues in Guelph that don't need this silly distraction.
Long mortgages have long been a thing in the US. The situation there is much different - mostly mortgage interest is tax deductible so much cheaper. They do have capital gains on primary homes, but it is pretty light. Just not comparable situations.
Really!! The 65 that responded are the haters of fire works. And Staff do love restrictions of any sort. This is stupid and unnecessary - but I guess it scares the horses and that's good enough for Staff and council. Sad, they just don't have enough to do, perhaps thin the Staff herd by a few dozen and only do real work.
Doug and the Provence have essentially make affordable housing illegal by declaring that "affordable" is 75% of the average rent. There are no funds or breaks for building anything affordable and all the funds and breaks for building luxury. The Conservatives have zero interest in affordable housing and are doing less than nothing.
CR is made (distilled and aged) in Canada and has been for a very long time. Doug is trying to kill long term Canadian companies. Classic dog whistle politics, no better than PP and Danni.
If you are stealing cars, having a valid driver's licence is probably not too high on your list. Try telling the car companies to stop making cars that are so easy to steal.
Boy, a lot of nastiness and bad attitude out here. It is quite normal to take un-paid leave to run for any office. Especially from another office. There is a second councillor for the ward who will handle things.
But gotta save up for that tunnel under the 401, and the Ontario Place site preparation for the Austrian Spa and the Spa's parking lot - we're talking about few billion there. And since we gave away our man made island in Lake Ontario, we have to build another one for the new Convention centre, or maybe that can be doubled up with the big runway extension of the Island airport for the jets? Oh, and Highway 413 is likely over budget so there goes 50 billion. And did you see those spectacular signs at the top of the Hanlon promising to build the new highway 7???? Those were expensive! Just no money left for the boring things like education and healthcare.
Oh everyone rushing to solve the "housing emergency". The last thing developers want to do is flood the housing market and drive prices down - quite the opposite.
Looks like a plan to put CAs under convenient Ministerial control, so a few lines can be moved for the profit of Doug's developer buddies. Nothing to do with conservation or flood control, all about promoting selective land speculation - the hallmark policy of Doug's Conservatives.
So let me understand this. Doug is giving us back 200 bucks of the taxes we paid but he has already spent that money so he's borrowing 3 billion dollars to do it. So we already paid the 200 bucks in last year's taxes and now we're going to pay interest on the loan to give it back to us? Pretty shady finances these Conservatives. I think I am being swindled with my own money.
