You do not know what you are talking about. The unions are what got us all the benefits we have and now Mike is sticking up for the unions members as he always does to ensure access to family doctors is restored for union members.

It’s time to pass a bylaw that cell phones be shut off during council meetings by everyone in the chamber.

So tragic. This fatality was 100 percent preventable. Was a gas test taken? Was the entrance manned with guard and a sign in book? And if it wasn’t guarded why was the entrance not blanked off?

Kinach, in my opinion was just venting his frustrations I think we have all done that at times during our working careers. That said I think you would agree that we should not expect to be reprimanded by a co-worker. Shame on the co-councillors that voted to reprimand him!

It’s beyond the pale that councillors voted to reprimand a co-councillor. That action will go in the history books. Bruni, Scott and Spina did the right thing to send it back to the Commisioner.

Stand tall Mr. Kinach.

Mrs. Silvano - De-roster with empathy and in a humane way. De-roster the ones with no health issues first. Keep the ones with health issues, the elderly and pregnant ladies instead of throwing out everyone tied to a doctor that is leaving. An analogy to this strategy is when someone gives up their seat on a bus or subway to an elderly person, a person with mobility issues or a pregnant lady. But then this requires a bit more effort lol!!!

@Turd Furguson - Salaries, benefits and pensions are all relative. The president of the United States has a way higher responsibility leading a nation of 250 million and a world leader.
So he should have more in benefits. Local GHC, educational and city executives are not even close in responsibilities so their salaries, and benefits and pension should reflect their level of responsibilities. Before calling others obtuse give some thought before you express your opinions!

The American President’s Salary is $400,000 a year.
How has some of these local executive salaries allowed to close in to what the President makes.
The GHC executives in my opinion is too high. Restructuring needs to take place to lower their salaries and invest the savings to hire clerical workers to assist the overworked doctors.
Same goes for the educational and city executives. Restructure their salaries to hire more teachers and hire more city workers and more police.

There is so much we can be do as individuals by taking care of our bodies a bit more to minimize or even prevent many ailments. This would lesson the burden overall on the health care system. Prevention over treatment is the key. Reduce or even quit the consumption of sugar, alcohol and tobacco.
