"So, with all of that said, after more than four years writing for The Peterborough Examiner, 185 columns, around 120,000 words, this will be my last piece here for now."

International student numbers wouldn't be a problem if the college and university managed such growth responsibly by constructing an adequate amount of on campus residences. Talk all day about the $ brought in, yet how much of that has gone into mitigating the impact on housing?

[PeterboroughExaminer @PtboExaminer]

Peterborough city council may be asking the federal government to rethink a planned new cap on international students and to support both Trent University and Fleming College in their objections to new federal rules.

@PtboExaminer The city has wanted to cut this for years now. Hope they include consideration as to how many children are currently waiting for daycare spots to become available.

@alexbierk Immigrants are not the problem. Irresponsible immigration policy, however, is a major contributing factor...

"We all go through these things at some point in time. Often as we get older the stress, hardships and loneliness settle in even more. How do we navigate these often-difficult times? How do we find joy in the dark days of winter?"

"It takes a community to really step up and care. To see the potential, to recognize our purpose, to be present with one another. With the right intentions of the heart, our individual impact can produce such incredible relief in the lives of others."

"Instead of showing up for the wrong reasons, I implore those who actually want to see solutions take shape, to start showing up for the right reasons. If we all started doing a little more, think of the difference that can make."

It is tremendously disheartening that so many voices have already been silenced. It laments the need for us all to support local journalism. I cannot imagine a world without these crucial voices, the storytellers and truth seekers, being heard.

Busy morning — where Councillor Reil and I (between meetings) FINALLY got to announce @cityptbo's partnership with @onecityptbo as part of our ongoing homlessness strategy.

The City has committed to almost a $ million dollars a year for the next three years to fund a low-barrier, Stop-Gap shelter in the winter months (for 6mo/year) as well as a year-round daytime drop-in program with meal service — operated by One City.

Big love to all those involved — PPRN, United Way, City Staff, and especially the numerous ppl on the ground putting their blood sweat and tears into this work ✌️

"Amazing, when you invest in improving the reliability of a system, more people will actually utilize it."

Doug Ford on the Greenbelt, May 1, 2018... Now his approval rating is at its lowest since 2018. Ironic how this same issue is what has cost him. Guess he didn't listen after all...

[Kevin Elson @Kevin_A_R_Elson]

"The Greenbelt never needed to be touched to meet our current housing needs, perhaps decades from now once other designated development lands run out."

"This begs the question, why does the city have more than $55 million in a portfolio from the PDI sale, while there are so many current needs, only for a measly $1.5 million annual return?"

@CR45T13 Nice. I haven’t done brownies yet, but started getting into pies and banana bread. Finally passed the fear of burning everything I bake.

[Kevin Elson @Kevin_A_R_Elson]

@CR45T13 Charlotte Pantry has baked goods.

With Health Canada rolling out new regulations requiring warning labels to be printed directly on individual cigarettes, I have to wonder what will be the tangible impact, writes Kevin Elson.

@PTBO_Currents You say this like it's a bad thing. The more bunnies the better imo! As if you found someone with the last name Potter for this story too.

What do we do now that our eyes have been opened to the darkness that is within our world? The events depicted in the movie are not new. They are still occurring. What can we as individuals even do about it?

@janicea79272679 @JoelleKovach @cliffskarstedt I don't admire him personally. Regardless of personal opinion, he is still our sitting Prime Minister. The experience of sitting down with such is certainly a highlight.
