Poll: Readers say both Biden and Trump should withdraw from U.S. race
73Do any of you Trump supporters actually follow U.S. news? He is: a convicted felon; a convicted sexual abuser/rapist; a fraud; a liar; a misogynist; a racist; a wannabe dictator; a philanderer. There are probably a few more wonderful adjectives can be applied to the narcissistic disgrace that he is. He deserves to be in prison, not in the White House. He will destroy NATO, will cosy up to every dictator in the world, will allow Russia to destroy Ukraine, and will dismantle the American system of government and of justice. He and his family personally profited immensely from his time in office. The next time will be even worse, as he appoints sycophants to every important position in government. He plans to pardon everyone of the convicted criminals who tried to overturn the election results, and those who stormed the government buildings, injuring and killing police officers who were there. Educate yourself on Project 2025. That should scare everyone from voting for him.

'Reflecting on our many blessings': Premier Ford shares Christmas message
38And a Merry Christmas to the homeless, the poor, the hungry, but lots of money for a luxury spa on the lakefront, so called training money to dubious businesses owned by friends of Ford, and a promise of more gambling in Niagara Falls. But the homeless, poor, and hungry just need to 'get a job' - Ford's solution to this problem. The man's lack of depth is astounding.

Sadly, Puslinch family's banned chickens have got to go
GuelphToday 22Ridiculous, and shame on the neighbour who complained. With prices of food these days, we all should keep a few chickens in our backyard. Petty bureaucrats at it again.

Province-wide Fight Ford protests this weekend include Guelph
GuelphToday 23He needs to go, but not for that reason. There are about ten good reasons why his time is up.

Ontario to allow BYOB at cultural and community outdoor events
GuelphToday 16Once again, Ford responds to the most dire, pressing issues in our province. I guess he took note of all those submissions and protests related to the crucial issue of byob to community events. It’s amazing how he is able to identify and respond to the most crucial issues affecting Ontario’s citizens. No one can ever say that he is a simple, shallow premier.

Province releases boundaries for 7 proposed conservation authority districts
GuelphToday 18Time for Ford and his autocratic regime to be booted out of office. A record of corruption, mismanagement, backtracking, catering to Conservative cronies, misuse of public funds. Ford is one of the worst premiers this province has ever had.

WATCH: With Ford’s blessing, Mulroney endorses Poilievre
10So Mulroney - cash in the bag - likes PP? Birds of a feather, as they say.

Conestoga College buys Guelph property previously approved for 16-storeys
GuelphToday 9Such a petty post. Conestoga consistently ranks number one in colleges in Ontario, and in Canada for trades education. They brought in international students at the request of the federal government, and provided good, solid education programs. Canada needs skilled workers, regardless of where they come from, and Conestoga serves them well

OPINION: We don’t need tough judges — we need Doug Ford to learn the law
GuelphToday 8Ford is really sounding just like Trump when he criticizes the judiciary. At least we in Canada aren't going to let a dictator wannabe over ride and ignore court orders.

GRCA chair worries what changes mean for public accountability
GuelphToday 7Ford, the mini-me Trump, is once again showing us his true colours. Democratic traditions are just something for him ignore, in his rush to concentrate power in his office, as opposed to local municipalities and organizations. He parades around as Captain Canada, making blowhard comments about the man he once said he admired, while all the time handing our millions to his corporate cronies, in a show of blatant corruption/pork barreling. And it's amazing who gets voted into office in this province, without any sort of public examination into a candidate's past.

Guelph elementary school parents struggling to replace outdated playground
GuelphToday 4Well, I remember that none of the elementary schools I went to had any playground equipment. We kids actually had to make up our own games and have fun that way. We were never bored. We always found something to do, and we learned from that experience. We learned to cooperate, to make decisions, to work with others, and that life gives you what you give it.

Unions representing laid off Conestoga College staff demand province intervene
GuelphToday 2Well, you can't blame Tibbits for the federal government cutting international student enrolments. Under Tibbits' leadership, Conestoga has become one of the top colleges in Canada. Canadians started complaining about the number of immigrants and international students coming in to Canada, and cut the numbers, so this is what you get. And of course, Ford's government cut funding to all levels of education - guess they don't want an educated citizenry that might notice how they are rewarding their friends, and gutting our institutions.

BREAKING: Trump wants to destroy Canada’s economy, annex us: Trudeau and Ford
1So hilarious to hear Ford (I was 100% happy that Trump won the election - I tell all my American friends that I'm a Republican) defend Gretzky. Wayne used to be a Canadian hero, but now he's just another MAGA, visiting Trump at Mara Lago. Why hasn't Gretzky come out in support of Canada? Mike Myers certainly did. Elbows up.

Guelph senior taken for $15,000 in bank card scam
GuelphToday 4There has been a terrible increase in these crimes the past few years. Why get a job, when you can steal someone else's money?

GRCA raises ‘significant concerns’ about size of new provincial model
GuelphToday 5Another one of Ford's autocratic, dictatorial moves, all meant to diminish any form of democratic governance. As long as it benefits developers and land speculators, Ford is in favour.

University of Guelph ranks second in university rankings
GuelphToday 2Universities, not university's. Post secondary education is a benefit to some. An apostrophe does not a plural make.

Guelph Sports Hall of Famer and former NHL official Will Norris dies at age
GuelphToday 4Such a life well lived, doing what he loved to do, with the love and support of his family. A man can't ask for more than that.

Another first for Guelph Storm netminder, the league's youngest player
GuelphTodayI love it how these young players have picked up the 'hockey jargon'. I just want to contribute; it's good to get that out of the way; we'll learn from our mistakes and move on; just want to win for the team.Just once I'd love to hear a hockey player actually say what he feels or thinks, other than spouting what seems to be pre-programmed phrases. I'd like to hear one say, "I played badly; I thought my teammates were terrible; I made too many dumb mistakes".Or, I played a great game; I'm after the best whatever trophy in the league; I'd like to get out of here.

Conestoga College president has contract extended
GuelphToday 1The board members know what they are doing. Tibbits has been the best president Conestoga has ever had. In fact, he's one of the top college presidents in Canada, as is Conestoga one of the top colleges in Canada.. Tibbits has dedicated his life to higher education, to building a top college that consistently provides programs to meet labour needs. The Sault president needs to learn how to function in the post secondary system - he's not a politician anymore, but that seems to be his only qualification to being appointed president of Sault College. If someone unfairly criticizes Conestoga, i give Tibbits credit for standing up for Conestoga.
