Remember, part of Hutchison (collapsed storm drain underneath) is included in that as well as all of the infrastructure that is below Hillside, unlike the 400 series highways.

So, alot of drivers here are retired from Hamilton, ON, where the city of Hamilton tells you that you treat a flashing yellow like a red. I'm not sure if Hamilton actually passed a bylaw or not.

Over 75? Old Age Security hiked by 10%

How come 7% more 65 to 74 year olds had more income than 75 and up? we get the same CPP, OAS and GIS/GAINS? What about the 60 to 64 year olds who only get CPP and no dental benefits? Some of these people are forced to retire early because their disability claims are denied or they are opposed to mandatory vaccinations. I got a 200% raise when I turned 65. I pay the same rent and get the same medical benefits/subsidies as my 75 yr old neighbours. Just wondering how the 10%/age point was calculated?

I'm surprised the OPP responded. They never did when I reported one on the 400 north south Parry Sound, even when he exited at the Seguin Trail exit at the Esso. I spoke 2 an officer on the access road, in a marked cruiser, and he had no notice of our call, and said that he was on a "stakeout", 2 move on so we didn't "blow his cover". The impaired passed us again, still weaving, just north of the same exit, so we hung back behind him in case he wrecked. We'll never report another one.

BUT, u will notice that the bar is open every day at noon! People go 2 drink, not watch the races. I can sit at McDonalds in the a/c and watch 1/2 the cars on the track go up and down 108 4 free! Watching those big gas guzzlingi RV's towing the 40' trailers home on Hwy17, in 29 degree heat, 2day, I wonder if the price of gas and climate change are really worth complaining about? I'm not sure the ticket sales 4 the street dance were any more of a success. I think they left a hole in the city coffers larger than a Canyon!

???? I'm confused. Is this the same trial as the one that was just declared a "mistrial" by the same judge? If so, how could they reach a verdict?

As long as our own Prime Minister can issue hate language/measures with impunity, then give lectures on "human rights" 2 OTHER countries (most of whom rightfully walk out on him), things will never be "right" in this country.
