‘Something special’: This is a big moment for Canadian tourism
18And incompetent liberal governments to drive our dollar down to $0.73! This is Canada’s hidden tariff on everything - brought to you by Mark Carney - elbows up indeed.

GuelphToday 36Shouldn’t informing the public be an integral part of the control strategy?Instead our leaders want to keep it a secret

You can now report vacant homes to city hall
GuelphToday 21To all my neighbours: mind your own business. More government meddling in people’s lives. Maybe the citizens group mentioned above should expend their energy cleaning up a park.

Guelph landlords left with five years of tenants’ water bills
GuelphToday 29Why is the landlord involved in this? Is the landlord responsible for the tenant’s car payments too?One solution to ease the so called housing crisis is to reduce the risk of being a landlord - something the city can easily do on many fronts.

Guelph manufacturing company closing its doors
GuelphToday 17You are right. Trump has very little to do with it. We are losing a good manufacturing company with a highly skilled workforce.

Ontario allowing pharmacists to treat more conditions, administer more vaccines
GuelphToday 8Is a pharmacist the best professional to be administering and evaluating these medications? Will they have access to the patients' medical history? Who is going to bear the risk of malpractice (I suspect it will only be the guinea pig er... patient} ?Why not just go all the way and have the vaccinations available at corner stores - right beside the beer section OR we could have a properly functioning health care system look after this.

Electrification efforts derail Riverside Park train ride for 2026
GuelphToday 19The city had at least 6 months to prepare and 7 months to execute. It’s a good thing we don’t rely on them for anything essential.

Council's bike lane flip flop costs us more than you think
GuelphToday 14We should get rid of bike lanes and the two bylaw officers. Bike lanes cost too much and are bad for the environment.

Raised crossings, bike-led traffic signals in city’s plan
GuelphToday 12Why have I never seen data that show speeds under 50 km/hr present a danger to the public? None of the proposed measures will stop motorists running red left turn signals and stop signs . How many injuries will result from traffic cushions (obstructions) and barriers? Again no data. Council and many of my fellow Guelphites base their decisions on emotion not logic. The money spent on slowing down traffic would be better spent on improving intersection sight lines, teaching school children bike safety, and training Guelph transit drivers what to do at a stop sign (it’s not a “slow down” sign!)

Guelph is getting a vacant home tax
GuelphToday 11Another useless tax grab from a council that is out of ideas. How will this be controlled? The city is going to employ empty home investigators? How I use my house is none of the city’s business.

Guelph council passes vacant home tax and renoviction bylaw
GuelphToday 4These laws create conditions for Guelph to increase its inventory of substandard housing and attract people from other (and increasingly nicer) communities. The tax base will also be eroded, making it more unliveable for the rest of us

Guelph’s automated speed cameras generated 32,557 tickets
GuelphToday 143.2 million dollars was taken out of our community and produced no benefit: there was no discernible change in the accident rate.In return we received just over $300,00. Some people can’t even manage a proper cash grab.

City seeks public input as staff draft vacant home tax rules
GuelphToday 11I wish our council would focus on running the city efficiently instead of inventing problems and up with new tax grabs to solve them. If an owner has an unused $500,000 property, the city wants to charge $40,000 on top of the ever increasing property tax he already pays. Property taxes are regressive and do not consider the owners ability to pay (unlike income tax).Also, an exemption process would now place an owner at the mercy of city bureaucrats - the newly formed Empty House Inspection Department-who are more interested in preserving a revenue stream rather than giving a property owner a break. Enough of this nonsense council!
