Sault pensioner must pay city $89K for a retaining wall — or potentially lose her home
SooToday
114Gee, sell the hospital property for $1. Gee, pay to get the Norgoma cut up. The city can’t give a break to put this wall in, especially since it was twigged by a complaint?

VIDEO: Doug Ford finally gets Donald Trump’s attention
52Great Mr. Ford, you hit a nerve or two. Now what? Trump has shut you down. You spent 75 million of our money to do what? The bully has left the playground and you are left with an empty bottle of Crown Royal.

Sault LCBO locations among those pulling American booze from shelves
SooToday 52I don’t get it. Pull the already paid for, and imported alcohol? It’s already in Canada, so use it up. Don’t buy more if that is how you feel, but carrying the economic load for already bought and imported to Canada makes no sense.

'I'm going to be on the street': Tenants evacuated from unsafe downtown building
SooToday 61So now the human price of the slum landlord situation becomes evident. Condemn the building, but have a plan in place to move tenants to somewhere to live. The city is creating its own homeless population by not having an accommodation plan in place.

Ontario woman says government took 'every cent' of parents' savings
SooToday 56Let’s have a big chorus of ‘Ontar-eee-ario, give us a place to stand and a place to grow’. NOT!Disgusting. You buy property with already taxed money, you pay tax on your property, and goodness help you if your stewardship results in an increase of value. The grim reaper tax man will claw it all back from your very grave.

VIDEO: Spend your winters down south? Prepare to be fingerprinted at the border
43It’s their country. It’s their rules. If you want to take advantage of their warmer winter climate, what’s the problem with pictures and prints? The $30 feet is aggravating for sure. Is there any difference between that and other countries charging a visitor fee for entry? We all look at this as bonanza fides Canadians, going south for a nice winter. But what about those that are trying to be in the US even though they are terrorists and insurrectionists?Buckle down, smile pretty, and make sure your fingers are clean.

Violence against teachers, staff the ‘new normal’ in classrooms across Ontario
55Sad indeed. You have no rights after you strike your teacher. The offender should be sent to a zoo class with the rest of the animals. In the old days, if you disrespect someone and they can’t do anything about it, you got disrespected after class.

Creditor protection extended for insolvent out-of-town landlords
SooToday 51Isn’t this a case of fiddling while Rome burns? It’s time we quit wasting money on the slum owners. Forfeit the properties to the respective cities, have the cities assess what is salvageable and go from there.

Only 96 memberships needed to hit target by deadline, YMCA says

'New normal': Sault border crossings down for six straight months
SooToday 20We need a strong Federal leader to wade in and get this mess dealt with. Currently, we don’t have one. Trump imposes ridiculous tariffs and the Canadian leadership starts squawking ‘buy Canadian’, but doesn’t engage the US President. The US needs resources from Canada, and Canada needs stuff from the US, so use that to leverage some sort of trade deal. Don’t sit in the corner and cry ‘unfair’.

Ontario to ban cellphones in class, block access to social media at school
SooToday 7How wonderful of the Nanny state to ban vaping and cell phones. The cell phones might work if they do a geo perimeter on usage. As far as vapes? Smoke another dube. Pot wasn’t legal either, but did it stop? No.Useless Orwellian regulations imposed to stop people from being stupid.

‘We do miss our friends’: How Trump’s trade war is playing out across the river
SooToday 6What has really changed since Trump got elected? Is chicken, gas, beer etc. gone up over the river? Well maybe with the poor showing of the Canuck buck. Worries about not getting in for a day trip? Hardly. Even if the US won’t let you in, you turn around, head back, and you didn’t pay the toll! The people and businesses in Soo MI are exactly the same as always. They do not have any gripes against Canadians, nor should border Canadians have any problems with the average US person.

SOYA depot closed until further notice
SooToday 4Unacceptable that a place that is supposed to support people just pastes a sign in the window saying they are closed. How about in the very least they post something that tells their clients where they can go to get assistance?

Romano needs to get his wits about him, and do what he needs to do for the good of all of us.As punishment, Romano needs to go and sit through Warrior Strong. That will put him in with the other 200 people total that have seen the movie.

Trump confirms 25% tariffs on Canadian goods start tomorrow
7Where is our Pie Minister? Holding hands with Zelensky commiserating about how he demanded that the US pour more money into his corrupt government to fight Russia? Why invest in Canada with the dollar at 65% US when you can build the factory in the US and send your stuff to Canada?It’s time the Canadian government stepped up, go toe to toe and make the deal.
