Does the City have any plans to work with the province to hopefully reduce these pot shops from opening? We have far too many.

It’s concerning how oblivious you are that the contrary approach you are referencing has led to the destruction of your ward. Time for you to actually do your job and listen to your constituents. We don’t want this in our community.

Maybe we need another pot shop in that location. Seems like the city loves approving those 🤣

What have you been doing the last 4 years Mark. The cries for help from the Carlington community fell on your deaf ears. The time for action was then, not in the next term of council.

Time to shut down the Shepherds of Good Hope in Carlington. They have completely destroyed the community with the consistent crime, theft, panhandling .etc. You have been absent on this matter for far too long. Time for you to actually do your job.

Nope, that's precisely why I will never take public transit in this city.

ronniewhitside.bsky.social @ronniewhitside.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
I'm feeling anxious about all the traffic on the roads again. Thanks @mark-sutcliffe.bsky.social for being a useless mayor and pandering to the Government for RTO, when you knew the infrastructure couldn't support the increased traffic..

Mark, the youth did not ride for free. There is nothing free in this world. I do not appreciate your lack of honesty on this. The cost falls on the hands of us tax payers.

Your justification is laughable. We will agree to disagree. Thanks for your kindness.

When funds are limited, regardless of what % of the annual budget it is, you need to pinch pennies.

I don’t consider $340K peanuts. Especially when we have significant funding defects in our city.

Can you provide the actual cost to tax payers?

ronniewhitside.bsky.social @ronniewhitside.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
Thank you Riley. The cost to property owners is their time. The financial costs are on the levels of Government that need to process the change. The question I have is, is it fiscally responsible to make this change?

Shawn, please remember, nothing in life is free. We all paid for this. Kindly consider this when suggesting something is “free”

Time to cut the unnecessary spend, reduce city council, and get back to basics. Thank you for your reply Alex.

ronniewhitside.bsky.social @ronniewhitside.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
We have an underfunded infrastructure problem, because of the continued overspending in unneeded areas (like bike lanes on Kirkwood). Furthermore, we have a significantly bloated city council. This was brought up in the 2022 campaign by former Mayor Chiarelli.

Glad to see the constituents want to see the continued decline of the ward. Thank you for your approval and support of me exercising my democratic right to vote. It is sincerely appreciated. Have a great day.

The thing you fail to realize is I don’t owe you an explanation. Nor should you expect one. Take care and be Happy.

What about Canada Post costs, time and energy of residents to change their addresses on everything, Riley and City staff time and energy. Clearly you’ve never costed a project in your life. You must be one of those people who expect free handouts.

Seems like you are fixated on the number of people following me. Seems quite weird* Perfect and rational sense is an opinion, as to which I’m entitled to. Sorry you don’t agree. I don’t block anyone, because this doesn’t bother me. I vote, and am very happy. Thanks for your kindness.

I didn't realize I owed a nameless troll on social media a thorough explanation. Exactly what I would expect from the left.

The Canadians boycotting US products are buying into this "Elbows Up" theory. I'm not going to boycott a product I like based on where it's made because of a trade war. I like to live my life and enjoy it.

I think low tax strategies can work, when council exercises fiscal responsibility and fiscal restraint. Unfortunately, they have demonstrated their inability to do so. Spend on the core necessities, not the nice to have things.

I may disagree with your political standpoints. I wanted to say, this is AWESOME.

ronniewhitside.bsky.social @ronniewhitside.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Why? Isn't this a significant waste of tax payers dollars? Do you not have more pressing issues in your ward to resolve?

ronniewhitside.bsky.social @ronniewhitside.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
This is a waste of tax payers dollars. I'm sure Riley has bigger fish to fry in this ward, such as the consistent panhandling, terrible state of the roads, and inadequate public transit.

ronniewhitside.bsky.social @ronniewhitside.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Ya, I'm not going to boycott something, because someone tells me to. I am a free spirit and will do as I please. Sorry you don't agree with it.

ronniewhitside.bsky.social @ronniewhitside.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
I disagree with you. Shutting them down makes perfect rational sense. However, there should have been a plan to replace these facilities with rehab centers, and more mental health supports to get the addicts the help they truly need.
100
ronniewhitside.bsky.social @ronniewhitside.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
McKenney and Troster do not possess leadership skills in any way. Elected officials should not be supporting safe supply, harm reduction, and safe injection sites. Period. What they should be supporting is rehabilitative services. Keeping the addicts where they are at should never be an option.

ronniewhitside.bsky.social @ronniewhitside.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
Somerset Ward was once a community I was proud of. I wish I could say that today. These people need rehabilitation, not a safe spot to shoot up. Its common sense. Something that has eluded Ariel and Catherine for many years. I will be voting. And I certainly know who I will not be voting for.

ronniewhitside.bsky.social @ronniewhitside.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
Good! I will be heading there shortly!

ronniewhitside.bsky.social @ronniewhitside.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
The decline in Somerset ward is directly related to its municipal representation over the last decade or so. Things were significantly better prior to Catherine and Ariel's elections in this ward.

ronniewhitside.bsky.social @ronniewhitside.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
I disagree with your assertion. I think shutting down the safe use sites was an excellent idea by the Ford government. I wish the SGH in Carlington would be forced to shut down their safe supply, harm reduction site. Those residents have caused many issues in the community.

I agree with you. I've seen strange things in this city, such as an home being demolished with no active permits on file. Seems like people get slaps on the wrist and a stern talking to. We really need change in our City.

100% agree with you. That's why I worry with a guy like Jeff wanting to be Mayor. He supports this wasteful spending. We don't need higher taxes. We need more value for our dollar.

ronniewhitside.bsky.social @ronniewhitside.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
A key example of that is - $5K for a park bench. Complete insanity. We need to get back to basics. If its a nice to have, we don't do it. Spend on core necessities. Manage the money as if it were their own, not a blank cheque.
