Ford government cancels deal with Elon Musk's Starlink, refuses to disclose cost to taxpayers
SooToday
23Noooooo!! We Need Rural Networks!?!! We’re a massive land mass! Our people need communication, education and networks. Musk is a product of a Canadian University; we should be proud. These are worldwide satellites. I’m sick of suffering from people’s principles.

Caputo says 'you cannot just ask for someone's resignation'
SooToday 43The pot calling the kettle black. Chastised Kinach for wasting money did ya? I must admit this is a suppressive environment in terms of governance, trust or accountability. Liberal ideas are great but they have never successfully been implemented without power corrupting absolutely. The number one reason we need governance is to avoid corruption and without it; it is impossible that it doesn’t exist in some way or another. A conflict of interest is corruption, a behind closed doors conversation can be corruption, a group text can be corruption, a meeting with someone grading the proposal you wrote before submission can be corruption. This city lives and breathes corruption in all aspects of business and government. I believe in certain elements of integrity instilled from a different age of education; as Kinach clearly did, but any ounce of bad governance renders ten fold the damage and people need to be held accountable, all of them.

SooToday 9@rzmod They turned down the airline’s latest offer that included a 38% increase in total compensation. What the union is doing is illegal.

'It's unsustainable' — As crushing steel tariffs continue, Shoemaker lobbies for ear of federal, provincial dealmakers
SooToday 36How much does the pool cost? Nominal fee. (Not an answer) Did they say whether they are open to being AODA compliant? (Didn’t answer) Shoemaker should listen to the people himself before asking anyone else to listen to them.

Air Canada cancels plans to resume flights Sunday as union defies back-to-work order
SooToday 7We are showing our incompetence globally. Would you tell police, nurses and doctors to stop working while they negotiate wages or do they put the public first?

Concerns raised after traffic signals at Goulais and Wallace went dark
SooToday 25If we were “well informed” with notices, signage and accurate long term justifications as is proposed, there may be less confusion. In the planning for these adjustments, there is knowledge that education is required however, there seems to be a lack of actually budgeting or implementing it. The fact that you could do it without a study negates the fact that there is poor management of the roll out itself.

Sault Area Hospital RPNs now lowest-paid in the region
SooToday 3Hmm…. maybe the RNs will be forced to upgrade to nurse practitioners if RPNs do 90% of the same work. Oh, maybe policy is acting in a way to incentivize that move by saturating the market of people who “can” so they will need to upgrade. Or SAH could have made the move out of progression, not fear.

City removing playground equipment from local park
SooToday 14Nice story, but let’s go sootoday journalists, the public need to be genuinely informed or they cannot submit to speak on these items. How many people know that this “West End Hub Trail” bike route in the Master Transportation Plan is using city taxes meant for your road maintenance. Do they know why they made the changes to the west end first without telling people and lied over and over, knowing the long term purpose. Do they know that they want to redevelop new, massive subdivisions off the A patch and Chippewa with no plan for parks eliminating any usable outdoor spaces. Do they know that we always pay for consultants, not city staff to “report back”. That the expensive NOSM study that has no purpose when they just need Algoma to join forces with Sault College to host nurse practitioner upgrading based on the Sault Colleges RN program. Where is the logic? It is exhausting watching “soo” folk manipulate the public while collecting their paycheques to outsource their jobs.

Lame-duck Downtown Association promises 'collaborative' breakup with city
SooToday 19At least the last two previous DTA executive directors now work for the city, right? the special events guy buried the dta, now is supposed to have ideas to build the city? The city dropped the ball with the plaza (j.p) not the DTA. then the other guy fromToronto left his executive director position after a year at the dta to go to “private industry” aka a city job (so the statement was inaccurate) Luck has a job ahead of him cleaning up the mess the people getting promotions have made. The city can’t do it better, those individuals working for the city literally, already had the chance.

‘We do miss our friends’: How Trump’s trade war is playing out across the river
SooToday 4Can you watch the way you use the term “they.” In Chippewa County, only 65% of eligible voters (citizens, 18+) showed up. Less than 1/3 of all people there actually voted for trump.

Group calls for urgent funding to address school violence in Ontario
SooToday 16Kids today see zero consequences for violence in the real world and have been neglected by educators due to strikes and shutdowns…. Students have deserved better for a long time. If employees and funding are your priorities, don’t use kids needs as leverage when you’ll quit on them to get it.

Stiles says Ford government is failing northern communities
SooToday 16I guess we can’t believe anything anymore. Our own ex chief of police lied to council, manipulated the overtime numbers knowing they were inaccurate, just to get the financing approved. As if it wasn’t obvious to anyone paying attention. Instead of asking for permission, he just asked for forgiveness like most criminals. It’s fraud.

Joly highlights green steel potential during Algoma Steel tour
SooToday 7@PO1978 just because it may be “better” for emissions, doesn’t mean that EAF is a perfect process absent of negative influences on our environment that need to be mitigated. I am no environmentalist, but if it were up to me, I would have continued with the blast furnace and built the EAF as an additional procedure because we’re only a country, we can only contribute so much to saving the environment without bankrupting ourselves. (Go ahead and critique the loan.) I do unbiased research but you have got to be kidding me that you missed the part where it said hazardous materials exists in EAF slag from scrap and not in slag from raw materials like the blast furnace. It ain’t a perfect replacement, its just an improvement.

Algoma Steel absorbs $110-million loss in second quarter
SooToday 15This is a major fail for the sales team. No diversification of products or activities whatsoever. Pretty much a domestic business in an international sector. It seems like the strategic plan is to run at limited capacity with just EAF, get bought out by the government at 50% equity based on previous investments, which is essentially a closure of what we once knew to be Algoma Steel.
