The badminton program at Korah was first piloted by badminton enthusiast, teacher
Larry Bobbie. He may not have been around for the accolades, but it all started with him.

Chucky has been silent with the innuendos of Trump about the 51st state. The monarchy cost Canada hundreds of millions of dollars a year in the cost of having a Governor General, Lieutenant Generals, their support staff, and the cost of "Royal Visits" to Canada. That money could go to schools, hospitals, or roadways.

Not "fought for the crown", but "fought because of the crown". They lost their lives protecting the way of life of a family that never lost a drop of blood in the World Wars. But, that is what good serfs do.

The "woke" reply is pathetically old. It is your catch-all when you don't have a logical answer.

@Cormorant, ... our way of life was never threatened in 1939. That is why the USA never entered the war until later. Canada saved Britain in that war. We owe them nothing. The king at the time and his family never shed a drop of blood during WWII. Where is that king now when we are threatened by the Trump administration? Silent and gutless. Don't lecture me on loyalty and patriotism.

I support the Mayor on this on 100%. The Monarchy has been a blight on Canadians since its inception. The cost to Canadians to maintain this social parasite is in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The cost of keeping a Governor General and 10 Lieutenant Governors, their security, wages, housing, transportation, support staff is a waste of taxpayer dollars. Not to forget the cost of security and the pomp and pageantry costs when anyone of the royal family visits Canada. That money could be better spent building roads, schools, hospitals, training doctors, developing our infrastructure, ... a myriad of uses much more beneficial to Canadians than acting as "serfs" to a non-elected and historically inbred entitled family. History is for the past, the future of Canada is free this blight.

@Terrygirl59, .... pretty sure Kaiser Bill was tongue-in-cheek in the fact that the poster is talking Federal when the question asked in Provincial. Some people shouldn't be given a vote.

There would be a need for more OPP officers to be hired to fulfill this need. That could come from recruiting locally redundant city police with added costs to supplement a loss in pay being little if any, hopefully.

We aren't trying to recoup our entire budget, just the increases. Saving $2 million a year would cover that. You throw numbers out there like you have some inside track, ... which I doubt. A responsible comment wouldn't do that.

I worked with Rick at the Post Office from the first day he arrived in the Sault. The perfect person to work with, ... always pleasant, helpful, and kind. After our mutual retirements, Rick and I often enjoyed games of poker with friends. That is how I met his son Jordy, who was a carbon copy of his dad. I miss them both. My condolences.
