Are your kids confused by Bellevue Park’s 'ramps to nowhere?'

SooToday

57

They call it a ramp to nowhere but the truth is it was a opening for another peice of equipment to go in. Most of this stuff is modular in design so likely all that will happen is all the modular areas will need something at the end.As for kids being confused by a ramp leads to nowhere is a bit of a nothing burger to me. I remember those areas as a kid and it's pretty simple, nothing to see here and move on to the next thing. I don't think any kids are standing there saying im confused and don't know what to do.

Appeals court finds Trump’s sweeping tariffs unconstitutional but leaves them in place for now

This is the mandate of the American people. It's time for Canada to pay for its own boarder and military. We need to fight the fentanyl coming through our ports, which affects our country and the Americans. If we work on our own issues and improve our country so we are safe and secure and the Americans will gracefully remove the tarriffs that we pay to subsidiize our defence.

Logging in Ontario’s boreal forest ‘far in excess of what’s sustainable,’ study finds

This paper seems biased with no input from the other side of the problem. Nobody who is cutting the trees or inspecting the environment was invited. Without a balance perspective, the bias will keep the average Canadian poor. Canada was built on natural resources and that will continue on in the future.

Low trust societys cost a lot to police. It's time to keep offenders in jail and not out terrorizing the community. If there isn't enough jail space build more asap as the money will just be spent elsewhere when you keep releasing the criminals.

Pretty sure the average sooite is more concerned with their roads and safety then more vanity projects.Most of us are wondering if they're going to choose the downtown plaza as the location.Wanting your money to go elsewhere isn't having negative things to say, it's just having different priorities in life.

Algoma Steel absorbs $110-million loss in second quarter

You can either ride the trump train or get run over by it and so far Canada chooses to get run over by it. Is it really worth keeping our dairy and egg tariffs for Quebec when the rest of the country gets run over by 50% steel tariffs? It's time to put our elbows down and negotiate before there is nothing left.

I seen the lack of shade driving by the plaza and said, I'm never going to any event there period, it's just a place to cook yourself in the sun. When you live in the Sault with all our beautiful nature and shady places, it's hard to justify ever attending the plaza. This event would be better served multiple places with way more shade like the big trees near the locks, Bellevue park, the reberta Bondar Pavillion. The list goes on....

"More Canadian steel for Canadian projects".... Should work well with the total lack of projects and inveatment in Canada... We already shut down most projects requiring steel and we don't want any new ones because they affect the environment.

Should party bikes be allowed in Sault Ste. Marie?

SooToday

11

Seems like a reasonable business idea but I doubt the Sault has the people interested enough to make it viable long term. Our bars are all old and tired, there isn't any food trucks around to visit, our restaurants have half disappeared. Add the rampant drug and crime crisis of the downtown area and it might have a huge affect on a peddle bikes business.

What a mistake, taking pocket change away from elon musk to send a message? Only ones going to suffer are rural Canadians. Realistically this should have been seen as a blessing of philanthropy from elon selling the service to us for meer pennies on the doller. Going to be seen as a big mistake in the future.

How much do executive salaries impact hospital services?

SooToday

10

The money the hospital is donated and generates from 50/50 tickets goes to equipment only. Sadly all of our hospitals equipment is getting old and tired and it will just eat more money to upgrade.Another sad fact is that Canada in general is poorly stocked on medical equipment. We have less mri units in Canada the the states has in their state with the fewest.

Will be interesting to see when the next election happens and the commenters of these media channels realise they are in the minority opinion for Canada. Most haven't even realised tariffs are just a bingo chip Trump is using to promote Canada to pay its fair share. Canada is going to pay for its military and defence either through tarriff or through spending. It is our choice and trump is simply playing hardball.
