Border traffic down again one year after Canadians were told not to visit the U.S.

Fake news is news that comes from sources that are heavily biased. Since dropping Hockey from it's broadcasts, CBC is 100% dependent on government funding. There was a story last week about how Rosemary Barton got caught on a hot mic saying "It's all made up anyways". Check out the clip for yourself, and make your own judgements. All media is biased, it has to be, it's a business, that's why you need to go online and see the clips for yourself, and read and do some thinking... for yourself, issue by issue. Not trust mainstream media uncategorical on everything.The CBC is not the same as it was in the 80-90's and early 2000's, where it was a great media broadcaster. They have an agenda. They have masters to please. They also say they are public, but pay bonuses (aka "at risk pay") like they are private sector media.

Take the parents out of the stands, and off the boards, and we might have a chance at kids sports being fulfilling and rewarding for all.Sadly this happens at all levels of sport, but in especially in soo Hockey, everyone thinks their kid is the next Nik Antropov... when really they likely are just the next "Taro Tsujimoto".

It's not the police releasing them it's the courts. This is a slippery slope however, towards a big-brother society. Who is to say the next investment isn't AI to monitor the cameras for tracking and other social experiments. It is already in progress in lots of locations... and we also have a license plate recognition camera...

He is young and it should be forgiven quickly for an error. At least he cares enough to write letters and ask for change... good on him.

Magg, give your head a shake, it's a health and safety /liability issue too. As the owner, he's liable for anything that happens. Use a little common sense...You go adding "extra" traffic to an already congested location, you are just asking for trouble.Better planning by NDP would go a long way. Go have your press release somewhere related to highway safety.

Conservative-backed petition calls for end of ‘co-ordinated mass candidacies’ in elections

PP lost his seat for quite a few reasons, too much focus on the national campaign, he's somewhat unlikeable and was painted as "Trumps boy". As well, the liberal party spent untold resources on that area, rumors also swirled that "massive public servant cuts" were coming, and the ruling government definitely gerrymandered that district (redistributed the boundaries). The longest ballot didn't help, but if you do the math and count all the votes for CPC, they still fell short.Funny thing is: persistent rumor that "large scale public service cuts" are impending.

We will thank Terry for this. He is a genuinely nice guy and works very hard for the Sault.But we all know when the changes were made to these laws, and who did it.We also all know who has been shouting and yelling (or whining if you prefer liberal speak), in Parliament and the media.

If you don't like his speech, you have freewill to let it go out of your thoughts. Greg is entitled to his own opinion, as are you, at least for now. If you are a fan of his music, you probably would pickup on his disdain for certain archetypes in his lyrics.I thought Greg looked alot more alive and spry than the last time they played here. The musicianship as usual is top notch with this band.

My best friend was a legally blind man. He would not have stood for this, nor should we citizens accept it.Get a soo college electrical student and an engineering student on grants to do:audit of locations, type(model) and such, get a list of parts and buy them in bulk, and get the repairs done. I'm sure you could standardize them as you go, to at least a few different models.Do the work. Shouldn't be that hard. Have the appropriate professional supervise them, work with a local company if needed and they get a small sum as remuneration and great publicity... This can be done. If it's a matter of funds, council do it, this is public safety.And yes it was a hard winter for everyone and everything. Now make it so! Please?

You are correct in that the riding was adjusted to include "new growth areas". However, it included a large swath of existing urban population base, changing it from it's roots as a "rural agricultural" riding. That meets the very definition of gerrymandering if ever there was one. It doesn't take a poly-sci degree to understand that. As for the non-partisan elections Canada that has had a record amount of irregularities this past election, including the courts ruling on a riding in Quebec? Can you recall an election where there have been so many large profile irregularities reported? I cannot. Something has changed.

Poilievre says Carney's Liberals are 'counterfeit' Conservatives

SooToday

Well, he is unlikeable for certain and many times annoying. Unfortunately he usually is ahead of issues like inflation, crime, and other bug-a-boos. Believe it or not folks, this is what an opposition is suppose to do. Point out the flaws in the plan, and point out failed results and question them. You would think his unlikableness is in the liberals favor, and they wouldn't be pushing so hard for him to leave (media blitz of late).What has he accomplished, well for one, he's made the very left leaning NDP-Liberals actually move towards the center, and adopt the flavor of his ideas... consumer carbon tax and bail reform.However, the issue with the last decade of government has been executing on ideas efficiently. They can't execute any ideas into logical plans which translate into results. Some of the ideas are flawed and only for show (gun policies, and the housing plan), and some of the failures (CRA) are down right scandalous. Carney is slightly more likeable...

Public warned not to buy cars from ‘illegal’ Sault dealership

I'm not a used car salesman (but I have played one on TV). It's not illegal in Ontario to sell cars without OMVIC papers. What is illegal is to sell cars and say/claim you are OMVIC licensed dealer.Also this is not criminal law, a matter for the police, it's Civil law a matter for the courts.

While rats and mice are allowed to roam without a license, you can pry my cat from my cold dead hands...What's next, telling adopters they have to pay a monthly subscription fee to keep their cat?You can't apply conditions above and beyond the law for something that you took money for, unless their is copyright or intellectual property.Cats are natural predators, and evolved from wild animals, all you have to do is type "cat video" in youtube and watch them battle and win almost all battles.I dare you to ban all cats from outside to see the havoc that would be caused by rats, and mice, squirrels, and voles. I double dog dare you!
