Well, all things election are in the bag, and I have to say that I’m pretty happy with the way things turned out. The Liberals won another majority including gaining 4 more seats, Liz Sandals won Guelph, and in the most interesting turn of events, John Tory won nothing, losing the race in his riding …

Update On The Drunks Looking For Cabs Thing
It looks like there’s a solution to the problem of the drunks demanding cabs late at night and waking up the whole neighbourhood. I guess the city approved a plan to set up taxi stands during those late-night crazy hours. I didn’t think there would be enough cabs to make that work, but I’m glad …

Man Vs. Machine
The city of Guelph recently passed a bylaw stating that all cabs must have their sign lights turned off when they are carrying passengers. That sounds pretty mundane I know, but wait until you hear why. According to Guelph Police Services Board lawyer Harry Perets, the law is designed to eliminate the confusion and safety …
GUTS, GUTS, Go Away, The Police are Here to Stay!
These people definitely belong in the things that make ya go raaar! pile! Remember GUTS? If not, here’s a refresher, and an update, yet more greatness, and the final straw. That was the final straw…until now. Will these people just go away quietly? They’re not serving any practical purpose, and they’re being nothing but a …

A Quick Scott Gilbert Update
I figured I should put up an update to the Scott Gilbert story. I guess the charges have been dropped. This is good, in the sense that he didn’t fight the charges, get off, and screw stuff up more. Plus, they’re going to make it so you have to show photo ID to vote at …
That’s Not Supposed to be How the Story Ends!
Wow. This just doesn’t seem fair. Remember all the difficulties Laura Baily had in keeping her seat on city council? Well, while I was gone to Guide Dog school, she lost a battle with cancer and passed away. It doesn’t seem like the right ending to that story, does it?
They’ll Get a Brain Freeze before a Tuition Freeze
Ug protesters. That’s all I can say when I read this story. When will students realize that yelling protest slogans, tacking signs on awnings and handing MPP’s report cards with F’s for accessibility and A’s for student debt doesn’t do anything in the long term? It gets momentary attention, but nothing happens. I may have …

For Real?
I wonder how long this will last. Just the other day, I wrote that post about Kathleen Farrelly. Well, it appears that, through her lawyer, she has said she won’t fight the judge’s decision and the fight is over. Something tells me this has more to do with the lawyer saying, You’re done! Wouldn’t it …
People Amuse Me.
I thought this was funny, I don’t know if anyone else will even find this slightly amusing. I know Steve will, but that’s about it. Oh well. The other day, I decided to go on an adventure. Guelph just put in a Walmart, and I thought it might have a few things I needed. So …
Do I Dare Call it a Debate?
I kind of feel bad not having this up sooner, but time got away from me. Then this whole thing came back to me, and with all the other talk of the municipal election, I felt this had to be posted. I’m really glad they have debates before an election, not just so you can …
