Another new hospital, this time in south Niagara? Great – thank you Mr. Smith. It is a lovely dream. Just think we might never have met you if the first new hospital had been located centrally.
When it comes to future hospital care Niagara south could be ready to speak to the powers that be with one voice – except for Niagara Falls. Port ...
People aren’t as considerate as they used to be. This is particularly obvious in political circles, all of them. There is a lack of politeness and t ...
I am a simple soul. I don’t get it. All the accusations – all the posturing – the auditor general – the ministers of public works and national ...
Talk about bad news overload – three political budgets in three days – coincidence, just plain thoughtlessness, or attempted media control. Certainly not one of the budgets got the full media treatment they might have received if they m ...
Ontario is leading the way in green technology, say politicians, but there is green and then there is green. The second green is the colour of our money as it flows out the door.
No, Mr. Premier, Ontario does not end at Hamilton city limits. Niagara Peninsula is a fact of life. People here feel pain, have needs, and they vote. You can make book on that.
I’m confused. We have the LHINs (Local Health Integration Networks) watching every cent paid to small volunteer-driven agencies who serve the elderly and housebound. But who was watching Ornge – eHealth, CEOs and all those in the power ...
Remember the days when Canadian politics was universally described as dull. Not so much these days.
The Drummond Report makes me think of the old, school yard game of hopscotch. We the people, hop from one place to another, always on one foot. We strive to balance as we stoop to pick up the token that belongs to us
The future of Regional government in Niagara will be formally discussed by council in the coming months. Better late than never? Many dollars and many years later a discussion that more properly should have been held in the 1900s will happ ...
The bad news is that the Gale Centre still has a $600,000 overrun in maintenance and energy costs. The good news is the heated sidewalks and stairs are not part of it. The heat they use is provided by substance distribution from the ice mak ...
Do we want the good news or the bad? The good – we have a people-mover system that will allow our visitors to move from one attraction to another. Senior government paid for part of it. The bad news - we have ongoing operating costs, incl ...
Those who hail with great glee the recent hint that a second full service hospital may be built somewhere in south Niagara may want to take a second look at this gift horse.
The first Niagara Falls city council meeting of 2012 was held Jan. 24, but it was not televised live. Anybody who wanted to view it was encouraged to tune in Jan. 25 at 11 a.m., sadly a time when many work.
Provincial problem solver Kevin Smith is making his mark on Niagara Health System. Six senior administrative people are no longer on the payroll. Is this a first step or a token?
Your Christmas gift from city council might have been the news they will meet even less in 2012. For one year at least they will meet on 17 of the 52 Tuesdays, if Cogeco can make this accommodation. Only Janice Wing objected.
