POLL: Younger readers happier with Donald Trump's win
66Couldn't agree more, as a self identified cosial leftis I'm appalled by the monolithic ideology motivation behind the anti trump sentiment.

Million-dollar makeover coming to Boathouse retaining wall and stairs
GuelphToday 27Of course they have to keep us safe from the river... this is so disappointing. When will our infatuation with safety be eclipsed by our human need to grow again? Safety is an ever receding line of illusion. Soon rivers will be banned and the ice cream will be served at room temperature to avoid the dangers of brain freeze.

With apparently no new ideas, the mayor is raising the dead
GuelphToday 19Villainizing politicians is as childish as villainizing the homeless population, this is a big complicated mess of a problem, hence why it's not just in one city. Rather than demoralizing our leaders maybe we could try supporting them. They are after all responsible for more than just the homeless in the city

A midsummer's transit rant
GuelphToday 25Couldn't agree more. I've written the city expressing as much, particularly with respect to the electrification of the entire fleet at the expense of frequency, accessibility and sheltered bus stops.People who don't use bus systems that are making the rules this is part of the problem. People with ideological environmental concerns, rather than substantive solutions for the environment, this is another part of the problem.

POLL: What our online polls tell us about Liberal voters
10Unfortunately, usefulness isn't straightforward. Much of what is discovered through inquiry is a waste of time until you accept it as the cost of discovery. Like archeology, the sand is the obstacle but necessary to contend with if one wants the hidden treasure.

'How is this legal?' Meet the king of Ontario renovictions
GuelphToday 23Absolutely shameful. I'm especially dismayed at the article posted a month ago by a university faculty member extolling the benefits of renting and the need to change our thinking about rentals. Renters are vulnerable that will never change. Rules and bylaws can help but we need more owners buying property to keep these type of monsters out of our communities rather than providing an ideology that serves their purpose.

Province’s new bike lane rules may 'hinder' safety efforts, city warns
GuelphToday 15“These studies and strategies have required substantial time, cost and effort to complete, and represent the vision of Guelph city council and the Guelph community,” the deputy CAO wrote.No, Guelph council has heard from the noisiest activist group that wants the most attention. Enough with the war on cars. People in their cars don't have time to become professional activists on behalf of the bicycle. Funny how my kids and I can ride downtown from my house without getting injured constantly because we're paying attention and not relying on painted lines.

Two more Guelph councillors sign opposition to use of notwithstanding clause
GuelphToday 17Its a false dichotomy to pit compassion and empathy against responsible governance and fair treatment of shared spaces. I have empathy for those who need to make impossible and unpopular decisions while trying to serve the majority despite the hateful rhetoric they endure. Both parties are wrestling with impossible and unpopular issues but one is elected and accountable, the other isn't. Empathy should be ubiquitous for both parties.

GuelphToday 15I'm confused, the delegations and protests were all over the news last Wednesday, how is it that they didn't get the memo?

Downtown location ‘isn’t the best’ for CTS, says mayor
GuelphToday 8Funny how the world has been doing this for centuries with alcohol, we don't treat the adults like fools but we also expect them to bear the cost it seems to at least function as bars and pubs facilitate and manage things. If this model has so much evidence supporting it, where is it and why isn't it fixing the issue? Are we seriously to believe that the problem has been getting better?

Transit union, city 'miles apart' in negotiations; service disruption possible
GuelphToday 6The city has to worry about bike lights and concrete barriers, the money the spend on transit needs to be invested in electric buses so that they can sit in the bus yard saving the planet while the underpaid workers go on strike.

City tries to figure out how to make Guelph more 'affordable'
GuelphToday 15I wonder if there is a way to tie rental costs to the minimum wage of ontario. I'm not much of a policy guru but I'd like to see some equilibrium between these two variables, currently they are so out of wack its mind boggling.
