Citizen calls for change in Orillia amid 'growing decline in safety'
OrilliaMatters 17You can sugar coat it all you want but don't let your grandkids take a stroll through Couchiching beach park after 10 o'clock on a warm summer evening. I for one am for banning encampments in the city, especially on the warmer months. If by "we" you mean taxpayers paid for courses and addressing homelessness, then why don't we just implement what these courses suggest. What happened in Orillia also happened in Barrie and will happen again unless we tighten up and stop trying to be their mother and think giving them a place to live will change anything.

'Chilling effect': Organizations say paramedic firing impacting freedom of expression
OrilliaMatters 8She is a public employee and should act like one. Just imagine if you were in a car accident, had her to attend to you and she thought you were an Israeli.....I say keep her away from the public as there are plenty of good people to do her job without wondering if she will when confronted with the a nationality she doesn't like.

Orillia's automated speed camera program ends tonight
OrilliaMatters 15Of course the mayor considered it a success. He has the same attitude as Trump. Everything he does is not for the people or Orillia, it is for his ego. That money he conned from local residents in the middle of summer was a disgrace. Using the excuse it is for the kids which is malarky. .

City council meeting: Monday is D-Day for Champlain Monument
OrilliaMatters 13I have been at Rama this past and talked with few of the people briefly. I mentioned the Champlain monument and their thoughts about it. I might as well asked them if they wanted to go to the moon. Their response was nothing. Absolutely didn't care or interest them in any way. I am beginning to think this opposition to the monument is manufactured by a few?

Mayor urges patience as winter wallops Orillia (9 photos)
OrilliaMatters 5Nice to live in a townhouse and retired. Some people have babies that need to be fed, washed, dressed and delivered to baby sitter and do all that while clearing snow and really don't have time to chew the fat with the other retired neighbour who doesn't have to go anywhere. So no not all have time to do the neighbour helping neighbour thing.

Despite nabbing thousands of speeders, Orillia cameras to go dark within 14 days
OrilliaMatters 7"Orillia is looking at the possibility of red-light cameras as a traffic-calming measure."But of course they are as the speed cameras had nothing to do with protecting kids walking to school and all about a money grab which the city is looking into new ways to scam the public. Supposedly caught one teenager doing 100 klm. But of course the mayor was a perfect angel all his life. Never had a ticket..right??

OrilliaMatters 13This is not a new norm. It is the norm other than a few of the past winters have been lighter. Thirty or more years ago we always expected snow anytime after halloween. ///The subject of the city and clearing the streets with proper equipment will not get any better until you vote the correct people in to run the city and stop voting for a name.

Bench policy, downtown parking fees on city council's agenda Monday
OrilliaMatters 9I can't believe Orillia would tag a unit like the outreach that was there to help homeless and anyone else that needed it. As for downtown parking they should eliminate all the meters on the main drag, no traffic allowed, and let people walk and shop to their hearts content.

Empty shelves at community fridge highlight growing need in Orillia
OrilliaMatters 11Canada is obligated to spend so much of it's GDP which is broke up into world security. Allied security is part of that in which money is given to other countries like Ukraine to help stabilize their defence which one day may help save your behind and also save lives in that country. Other monies is used in Canada for core defence, operational readiness, ammunition, cyber security and the list goes on. . So before you start calling people leftist, post the true facts, please do a little reading, and you will see where your tax money is being spent.

'Infuriating': Resident frustrated after city denies pothole claim
OrilliaMatters 11A Volvo of that vintage was made In Sweden or Belgium and cost considerably more than any North American made car for many reasons but mainly because it was better made. Stronger, safer, better on fuel. Even compared to today's cars, a 20 year old Volvo would be less to maintain as it was much better made. The pot hole took out the woman's front end of her car, period Don't blame the woman or the car, pay the bill that the city owes.

Lighthouse shelter says Orillia murder suspect was not a client, dispels rumours
OrilliaMatters 13A perfect example of what can happen if facts are not checked is in the US. There you have a leader that will say what ever it takes to get ahead. And the worst part is a good majority believed it. Orillia's voters are smarter and wouldn't fall for any grandstanding especially trying to get to the spotlight by living off another person's grief.

City set to ban charcoal barbecues in local parks amid fire concerns
OrilliaMatters 2Paid parking will not work other than aggravate the odd person as the cost to enforce outspends the actual amount gained. Besides the city is happy now with the cash grab that has hit our streets and are already looking for places to spend that money. Money that in some cases would have been given to our new hospital fund.
