@CamGuthrie Thanks so much for all you’ve done for this beautiful City …

[Mayor Cam Guthrie @CamGuthrie]

After three terms as Mayor of Guelph, I have decided not to seek re-election this October. I will step aside and pass the baton to the leader our voters choose.

Serving in this role has been an honour and a joy, which made this decision incredibly difficult. Yet I am also at peace with it. Most importantly, it has the full support of my amazing wife Rachel and our children.

As a person of faith, I thank God, who I believe has guided me every step of this journey since the beginning. Today, I feel the same prompting toward a new chapter, one whose path isn’t fully clear, but one I know will be exciting.

Announcing early allows for a smooth transition. Important files and initiatives continue even during an election, and I want to help steer them to completion while working collaboratively with whoever is elected.

I am deeply proud of what we’ve accomplished together. With the support from staff, councillors, and our community, some highlights for me include:
• Rebuilding and restoring relationships with other levels of government
• Improving communication and engagement so residents are better informed
• Protecting taxpayers’ dollars and ensuring every dollar delivers real value
• Advancing supportive housing to help those experiencing homelessness 
• Welcoming new businesses and newcomers, and celebrating Guelph’s growth and increased economic development through countless ribbon-cuttings – I will always cherish these interactions
The new South End Community Centre, opening by the end of this term, will be a fantastic addition for so many families.

A few special moments stand out as especially meaningful:
• Reintroducing the Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Market Square
• Shutting down Carden Street to celebrate the Raptors’ NBA championship with 2,000 fans jumping for joy
• Opening the Veterans Crosswalk, a reminder to honour those who sacrificed for our freedoms

I will stay fully engaged for the remaining months of my term, leading with the same energy and enthusiasm I’ve always brought to this role. My focus remains on what I believe matters most: public safety, respecting taxpayers’ dollars, building homes, and—hopefully—bringing a few laughs along the way.

Thank you, Guelph. I feel truly blessed every single day to have served you as I worked towards shaping our city into a place we’re all proud to call home.

With gratitude,

Cam Guthrie

Trump supporter: I like Trump because he did everything he said he was going to do

Q what are some of these things he said and then did?

Trump supporter: “Hmm…You caught me off guard there…I don't know”🤦‍♂️

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

True freedom gives each of us the right to make decisions about our own life – how we worship, who we marry, what our family looks like. And we believe that freedom requires us to recognize that other people have the freedom to make different choices.

That’s what @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz believe.

In 1979, President Carter had solar panels installed at the White House. These were later laughed at, derided and removed by officials of Reagan Administration.

Grocery sector profits are up 120% since before the pandemic hit.

And in 2023, a family of four will pay more than $16,200 on food alone.

It's not okay. People are going hungry.

I'll keep fighting to put an end to corporate greed.
