For example, the council recently passed a motion prohibiting the library from undertaking any capital projects without giving the library or residents any opportunity to speak. The library has also come under fire from ...

Thanks for sharing Samantha ❤
Thank you for this video, Region 7 is my home and its a powerful healing place and it all comes from community & traditions :) Miigwetch & Marsii
Samantha, if you send me an email I will forward the documents which pertain to Peter's claim on Hibou. Jim Stranks
Peter Coture has done more for the nation then most...marsee.
All your hard drugs are toxic, are you telling me nobody overdoses on your so called safe supply, lady i'm a recovered drug addict and i tell you the more they get the more they need to do, that's how they are overdosing, i spent 10 years addicted to painkillers and if i had been given a steady supply i sure as fuck would be dead already, instead i went to a recovery house, and not the 90 crap, it was long term. I spent 11 months in there, going on 14 years clean now. So don't tell me feeding them more drugs is the solution
just say no
gotta have palestine flag hangin.....lol....
Placing a stranglehold on a resource as valuable as the public library is ill-considered and strikes me as utterly tone deaf. Surely Council has more important things to do than hobble library staff?
Nowadays it's cheap to build a basic simple container, cabin shelter, or tiny house, without electricity and water is totally fine. At least it's safe and a place to call home. Why can't we allow people to have these simple cabins to call home? why leave people sleep on the street or in shelters that are full of violence and drugs? Cold is not the only threat, the violence, the drugs, the threat spread of desease... are all what homeless have to face,too. More mental health service is NOT helpful. People in addictions need a home to go back to, and always have a home. Having a home in their back, he will stop his addiction in his own strength. Mental health therapy is not his strength. Don't use mental health help to make it look like people are getting help. Mental health services are not helpful. Shelters are NOT helpful. Shelters are full of drugs, stabbings, aids, violence, spread of disease, stealings,...it's not an option and it's not hope, it's not home. People need HOME, not sleep outside, not mental health services, not shelters. People's recovery strength does not come from mental health services, or having a shelter to go to. Their recovery strength is from havivg a forever home. it's a forever safe place they can back up to whenever they need it. Don't lie and say that people are getting help because there are shelters and there are lots of mental health services. Stop these big lies. These young people who are in trouble of addictions and homeless will stay falling apart without home in their back and if their option is only about shelter and mental health services. People need HOME for life, not any temporary solution. Nowadays with the technology, it's easy to build a basic cabin out of plastic, wood, or steel. everyone can own one to call home for life, give the space to back up to at anytime.

Hello
Barrie does not feel safe anymore , I won’t go out on my Own after dark..I have seen Barrie grow from 23,000 to what it is now. It’s a horrible place now, over priced under serviced- don’t move here unless you have deep pockets and want to live in fear . It use to be Torontos bedroom, now it’s a cesspool
Can't understand .
People please help them they don’t want to be homeless it’s what they have right now God bless them ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Wake up people .... when they got money for to kill people overseas & not for own ...... we gots a problem
God Bless
These people are in my prayers. 😢
I have a very hard time believeing anything this man says

This guy is part of the problem probably paid by democrats who keep making up useless bureaucracy in order to justify their jobs in the guise of benevolence towards the poor or mentally ill.

Americans should be 1st
Barrie, Ontario...they are experiencing similar hardships to us here in America. Citizens FIRST, no matter which country. We pay taxes, we support our economy, we pay for the programs, we want citizens first.
I met a homeless girl last week. Asked her to walk a 5 min walk so we can chill in the park and she said 'is it okay if take the bus and meet you there'?😅😂😂😂😂😂 All in all my heart goes out to you lazy bastards.❤
I was homeless. I got me a job. Got back on my feet. Bought a car, you guys could do it too. Just get off your a**** Go to work like I did.
You shouldn't be there? You're not providing any "support"

Hi Samantha, having some really great feedback on the interview. Not just in the Métis Community, but the greater community at large who have viewed this! How adversity was turned into positive change, with an opportunity to get know the Métis side of Marc, and how it relates to how we support our community, and the greater community at large. Bravo on your series of interviews. See you down the river!
Jessica truly encapsulates all of the skills of a great leader. She’s a strong, empathetic, and determined advocate for the people. Her bright personality, intelligence, dedication, and passion sets her apart from the rest. I know she would excel in this role, and I hope she gets that chance! Vote for Jessica!
Thank you Marie Francis for sharing with us how to make this a better place for everyone. And thank you Samantha, see you down the river!
Well said
Im so looking so forward to this art crawl!! Thank you Samantha and George!
this is who you need to vote for

Moon Rivers Previous Council was the most corrupt . the current council under Marc who was actually elected has tried to serve the community with much interference from the council that was not re elected
Qadinai is kafir not muslim
That my cousin
I would like to know if candidates who are running for pcmno work full time are going to be able to have the dedication needed for its citizens representation, should be considered?
Thank you for your question! We will ask that during the All Candidates Meeting
Im a Moon River Citizen and want to know what is going on in our area. Im sure my first cousin Louise would be embarassed about the Current state.
We'll work on bringing you a story about what is happening.
i cant talk about that very transparent
What does the PC part of PCMNO stand for?
Provisional Council
With reference to our previous comment- Please note that the property MANAGER is NOT the property OWNER....you can only be trespassed by the OWNER of the property.....and whom is it that OWNS Public property?
Learn the law. The manager is an agent of the owner. They have the authority to trespass someone.
@@StuMarston thanks for reply. The manager is an employee of the company......but YOU are NOT an employee of the company. It may be that the company has a policy, but what relevance does a company policy have to do with you? If you are engaging in violent action and behavior or stealing other people`s property then you should be trespassed (because that is criminal activity) but if you are the lawful man and NOT causing anyone injury, damage, loss, harm, then they are simply discriminating against the lawful man. In other words, if the company is open to public access then they would need to employ you before their policy has anything to do with you.
@@mccabeianenator This has absolutely NOTHING to do with company policy. As someone who has a law degree and has previously studied this, I can tell you that this a very straightforward area of law. This is about private property rights. The owner of private property can lawfully remove any person or refuse to allow entry to any person for any reason except for discriminatory reasons. Ie. race, gender, religion etc. That means they can't demand you leave because you're black or female or Jewish. Next you have to understand what agency means. Agency means that the owner or occupier of a property has given permission and authority (agency) to act on their behalf in relation to the property. This is why you may to out to a baseball game or a bar and the security has the authority to tell you to leave and may physically remove you if necessary. They aren't the owners. Security guards don't own the establishment or the property but they're agents who have been given the authority by the owners. and have the legal authority to act as the owner/occupier. When you think of it from a practical perspective, it makes sense. Often times, an owner may live half way across the country or even overseas. It would be silly if the law required an owner to personally trespass someone. Imagine a person in a restaurant in Toronto causing a disturbance and the owner lives in Vancouver. Imagine having to call the owner in Vancouver and saying we need you to come to your Toronto restaurant. There is someone causing a disturbance. That'd be ridiculous. That's why we have a thing called agency.
@@StuMarston thanks for update
@@mccabeianenator No problem. I'm glad I could help you.
We don’t need safe injection sites. We need junkies to quit stealing our shit. If you’re a drug user you got on the drugs figure out how to get off it’s not up to the country to help your drug addiction.
_HOMER SIMPSON_
Understood, but now you are trespassing.
You may pay the MPP,s salary but that does not mean that they will listen to you ,they will only listen to their campaign contributors.
All cops are crooked
Just send the best. Merit rules.
Thank You for the support
