The Bridge was never under so much repair or shut down when it was managed seperate from province? Perhaps a second bridge is needed to allow for alternate traffic flow while repairs/ maintenance is done?

No doubt there is a problem with the System that Protects the Tenant. The City’s Building Inspector should have noticed the problem. If renovations were done, there should be inspection reports done at various times during the renovation.

I disagree with this project. Other provinces are protesting plus many States in the US In reality in the long run it will only create 200 permanent jobs. This project will run our environment and our water.

I’d be interested in why Julmac was instrcted to use costlier materials in their contract bid. Were the materials more costly because they were bringing them in from Ontario? Did they plan to support local suppliers? The whole story would be very interesting. But ouf Provincial government should have been prepared with answers not humming and hawing. We have to be more professional than that.

Years ago JK Irving’s right hand man told my sister that someone convinced him that university educated employees were the route to go. The push was on and they are now reaping the fruits of their foolish effort. The gentleman in question was lamenting how they literally gutted their industries of “experience” over education. Saint John Shipbuilding was the largest training ground for tradesmen in the province but instead of standing his ground and taming the recalsitrants he closed up shop and moved it to Halifax. Nothing like shooting yourself in the foot. Immigration is not the route to go. Training your local population whose family ties are strong and more likely to stay is. Thanks to Frank McKenna and his drive to remove trades from the high school system we now have some of the best “educated” baristas and Tim Hortons employees in the country. Suck it up buttercup! 😉

I haven’t ever noticed anyone from the broad and lengthy football community entering the Hall. We’ve been playing football here in the community since 1954.

They need to purchase/expropriate that whole block between Hanover Street and the Shoppers on Crown street and move those services down there so the folks on Waterloo can have their lives back. They should also restaff the former Worksafe Rehbilitation Center for addiction services for those folks who want it.

Thanks for the helpful information.

Why can we not find the Province or Country that is successfully reaching students and mimic that program. The Nordic countries and Switzerland have the best systems worldwide, Switzerland is even multilingual..

What happens to all the books that are left after the sale ends?
