City to continue proactive approach targeting 'chronic problem properties'
9We pay for our properties, we should be allowed to let them look however we want, this is ridiculous.

Orillia gets $3M, Ramara gets $30M from province for infrastructure
20How about thanking the diligent taxpayers, who make all of this possible instead of thanking politicians who stand there talking the credit, as though the money came out of their personal bank accounts,,In their worlds photo ops is the most important thing.

Court case looms over ongoing pollution complaints in Orillia
12You move next to a factory that was there since the 60's( not as Poleytec) what do you expect That's buying next to the train tracks and complaining of the noise

Court case looms over ongoing pollution complaints in Orillia
14It's a factory. I imagine it produces noise and smells. I would expect them to be within legal pollution limits, but the facility also produces jobs, taxes, and needed productivity for our province and country. I would expect anyone buying in the area to do due diligence prior to purchase.Of course, if they are circumventing pollution bylaws with municipal foot- dragging, that's another matter. It will be interesting to see what the court concludes.

Canada Post suspends delivery in Orillia area due to weather
12You may notice a common thread among those that shut down due to weather. All have union representation.... who continue to bargain their members out of existence.

Court case looms over ongoing pollution complaints in Orillia
14The smell is not just around those living close. Depending which way the wind is blowing I can smell it in my area of town and it is not pleasant. Can't imagine what it would be like living closer. Can't imagine having this smell in my garbage can; do not understand why EVERYTHING needs its own fragrance. Wish they would ban fragranced products altogether; they are a proven health hazard. Hope you see results with the court case.

You might get the call: Health unit launches phone survey
5It was not long ago that the health unit pushed something labeled “voluntary” then we watched people loose their livelihoods when they refused. Click.

Residents file contempt charges against Ramara over permit dispute
14There really is a case for a complete shakeup of this draconian system led by a bunch of people who think that the are little gods,, Leadership is minimal, and it all starts at the top, in the mean time taxpayers are paying huge for their ignorance.

8A tool used by petty neighbour's to cause trouble. My small court has 2 such neighbour's who use any excuse to harrass the rest of the court. This exact municiciple code was used last summer. A number of residents got together and helped our neighbour who was going through a difftime. We didn't think the yard looked that bad. On top of using the city, they call animal control and the police. Such a waste of resources and there's nothing we can do about it.

Court case looms over ongoing pollution complaints in Orillia
8You are not understanding that the factory was no where near this size even 10 years ago. It did not produce scent then and there was no noise to speak of.

9No amount of die diligence would have covered the tripling in size of this property in the last couple of years. They should continue to produce jobs and pay taxes, but they should do it while adhering noise and odour regulations.

Beaverton feels overlooked in Ontario’s revived passenger rail plans
13I’m glad that they are bringing this service back. That being said, “reliable heating” and wifi shouldn’t be seen as a big win. This is a bare minimum and is a good representation of how far behind we are compared to other countries with rail services

Survival: Living in vehicle 'only choice' for some this winter
3I don’t think you are struggling to get by, if you have 2+ dogs or cats; nor if you smoke or drink. Can’t make my mind up if an EXPENSIVE cell phone package is a necessity of life. And yes, I know that cats, smoking, drinking and expensive cell packages were not in the story.

Local mayor says recycling pickup changes 'very disappointing'
11The abruptness of this change (no pickup for certain businesses) with no immediate viable solutions indicates how little concern Doug Ford and his Conservative bobble-heads have for the people of Ontario or for protecting our natural environment. Localized dumping in County Forests is on option that many will do, or just leave it as a pile on the sidewalk will be the other; neither is acceptable. What happened to well thought out planning for waste management?
