Does your "modern day" mean hiring non-union immigrant workers who drive beat-up, rusted minivans with bald tires and no shocks like Intelcom (Dragonfly) does?! These workers are not paid a living wage or benefits... all so you can get your cheap Temu made-in-China trinkets.

You really don't understand the law do you? Are you suggesting that we discriminate against potential buyers? Race? Colour, Creed? You don't like the business owner(s) because of what you think they can or can't do? You are going to dictate who can live in the Soo? Maybe you don't meet that same bar?!

Have you been living under a rock for the last 40 years or so? Northern communities allow snowmachines into town along our streets with some exceptions (due to traffic volume and safety). You have to abide by the traffic laws and use hand signals etc. Your machine must be licensed and insured. People like you are negative just to hear yourself talk. Snowmachine season brings tens of millions of dollars of revenue to area businesses every year in this province.

Take a weak grade bolt and cut a groove into the shank about 1/5 of the way through.

Why don’t you build a housing unit yourself? Invest in the community with your own money? Then you too can get a tax break.

A typical uninformed comment. Learn the facts before you speak. What was essential to replace was the over 100-year-old main trunk sewer and associated utility infrastructure.

Based on your logic, should we close the entire city down? Storms happen. Buses don't have the same traction and maneuverability as smaller cars. Oh how did our parents drive into work with rear 2WD cars on bias ply tires with manual steering and brakes make it into work?!

Man, people are crying and complaining. I am born and raised in the Soo for 53 years and we have had way more snow than this; our parents cleared the same ice and snow at the end of the driveway except they didn't complain. Get a short steel shovel and break the chunks; lift smaller scoops too. The city would have to buy several more loaders and hire more operators if they where to remove driveway-end snow.... then you would cry about how high your taxes are?!

I dunno about people being less courteous... I have always plowed out my neighbour's driveways and I don't expect anything. Its called being a decent human being.

How about you get off your keyboard and shovel those people's driveways/walkways? In all fairness, if you have mobility issues, you should stay home in weather like this. Everyone should have at least 1-2 weeks of emergency supplies/food. No need to be out in severe weather.
