FEEDBACK: Readers weigh in on this week's hot topics - OrilliaMatters

At the bottom of all local stories on OrilliaMatters, readers now have the option of submitting feedback. Here's what readers had to say about what was making news over the last week:

COLUMN: Line between right, wrong seems blurry at the moment 

Speaking for myself, in scenario #1, I would immediately leave the restaurant if someone in my group used fake ID. Requests to use our driveway, as in scenario #2, would be told politely NO. — John Winchester

Why would you go to a restaurant with someone you know doesn’t believe in vaccines? Why see them at all or expose them to your circle of relatives or friends? If you had not invited this person into your circle this issue would not have arisen. But when it did - just go home. — Tova Greenberg

The answer is easy in Situation Number 1. Leave. Your relative obviously cares nothing about your health and safety and is willing to put YOUR life on the line rather than do her civic and moral duty. Why would you stay in the same room as her? If you find the line between right and wrong to be blurry, maybe get some new glasses and do some serious thinking about actions, consequences and morality. —  Mark Elgar

Developer pitches plan for $16M retirement park in Ramara - Orillia News

How come this development will be built for the rich people from Toronto as our local seniors cannot afford $1,600 a month rent. — Antonius Dikmans

COLUMN: The family that puzzles together always picks up the pieces - Orillia News

I love this! I'm a puzzler and usually work alone but the family scene is clear in my mind. — Penny Kerr

Orillia resident sees red after being left in the dark for 21 hours

I agree that Hydro One customer service is dreadful. I have had more power outages since they took over than in the past seven years I have lived in Orillia. I finally got a generator they were so awful. — Marilyn Brown

'It's a sad thing': Salvation Army sees spike in need, especially among local seniors - Orillia News

Regarding the plight of seniors. Our provincial and federal government agree that $15/hour is a living wage. Doing the math regarding pensioners' CPP and OAS the government thinks seniors can survive on $5/hour. No wonder the Salvation Army are seeing increases at the food banks. Shame on the governments for not looking after the people who contributed to their pension but can’t afford to live off it. — Ian Richards

Local businessman set to welcome community to impressive rink - Orillia News

What a great idea. It's more fun skating outside anyway! —  Penny Kerr

City pauses recreation programs due to COVID-related staff shortage - Orillia News

Bummer. The assessment and testing situation is a fiasco - imposing huge costs and strains in both the public and private sectors. It's not like we didn't see this wave coming. Why wasn't the Ontario government prepared? — Mark Elgar


 

Adblock test (Why?)
