I am also one of the reporters still with the company. I feel for all of my colleagues. It's a sad day.

[Chris Simon @csimonwrite]

This is an absolutely brutal day for journalism in Canada. I'm one of the reporters who somehow managed to avoid the chopping block. But I am stunned and upset, and heartbroken for my colleagues. They deserve better.

It was something I won't soon forget.

[Brett Glover @BrettJGlover]

I'm a little envious that @ConnectionJohn got to interview @ScottThompson_ instead of me, not gonna lie.

[John Edwards @ConnectionJohn]

One of my favourite pieces ever.

Toronto's loss is Collingwood's gain as couple ditched the big city and decided to follow their dream and open up a pizzeria in the community. Bello Pizza is open and serving up pies on First Street.

Another funeral for a police officer. A scene that's becoming far too common. So young. So tragic.

Dana Kaluzny, one of the owners of #EndswellBeer is brought to tears as Council makes decisions that will save them time & cash as they effort to get up and running in the Spring. Here's a story on their dream...

This is an interesting turn of events. So #Collingwood Council revoked its endorsement of the MZO for the Poplar Wellness village. Story here: https://t.co/Ux770xpTCG
But apparently, the MZO was already signed by the province.

The team @SimcoeNews is saying goodbye to one of our veterans. @frankmatys is one of the good ones & will be missed around the newsroom. But I wish him all the best in his new venture.

@Irishjake15 @CollingwoodPL That's a big part of it.

[John Edwards @ConnectionJohn]

At the @CollingwoodPL waiting for results. Staff just brought ballots downstairs. Scuitineers are waiting. Told turn out will be around 40% in Collingwood. I must say, I'm disappointed in that number.

[John Edwards @ConnectionJohn]

#Collingwood mayor-elect @yvonne_hamlin has affordable housing as priority 1...she also hopes to improve communication between residents and council.
