Which Mayoral candidate is against data centre construction?
The last thing I want in this city is a data centre and we need a candidate that will fight hard against them being built in the area.

Brutal, what’s being done to reverse course in PTBO ? And how are we gunna pay for pickleball courts with no jobs or reliable transit to get to other jobs in other city centers
Peterborough (city ~83k, CMA 128k+) is over 2.5× bigger than Stratford, which just got GO train service this summer with only one daily round-trip.
We used to have VIA Rail to Toronto until 1990 (2-2.5 hr trips), so the corridor already exists. A 2010 Metrolinx study pegged upgrading the Havelock Sub at $329–384 million (probably $500-600M+ today), but that’s the kind of investment other GO extensions have received.
In the middle of Ontario’s rail renaissance (GO expansions, more frequent service on multiple lines), it feels like PTBO is being left behind with only buses and painfully slow ones at that. A proper GO train would cut highway congestion, boost commuting options, support Trent/Fleming students, attract tourism and drive economic growth. Alto high-speed rail is still two decades away at best, so this is the realistic near-term option.
Would you support bringing GO commuter rail to Peterborough? And does anyone know if any mayoral candidates are prioritizing this?
I’m currently working at a big 5 and looking around at my team and talking to people in some other business units the commutes have become insane. I have people coming from London, Windsor and as far north as Huntsville.
I have been working in Toronto for 15 years and don’t remember it being like this? Is it just me , what have you seen? Cost of living has become an actual crises. Salaries are similar to what they were when I started working.
Anyone know when they will release the t6 with new tabless ? Has anyone tried it with tabless cells ?
Hybrid work benefits Canadians who can never work from home.
If your job requires you to be onsite like for instance nurses, teachers, tradespeople, truck drivers, retail workers, first responders, hospitality workers, factory worker, hybrid work can still make your life easier.
When a job can be performed effectively from home, forcing employees into an office five days a week mainly benefits those who own office buildings , rich developers and parking lots, not the average Canadian.
Benefits include:
- Less traffic and shorter commutes, lower demand for fuel
- Less congestion around hospitals, schools, job sites, and highways
- Lower infrastructure and office costs for taxpayers when government uses less office space
- Reduced fuel consumption and emissions
- More disposable income circulating in local communities instead of being spent on commuting, parking, fuel, and downtown office costs
- Greater ability for families to live in smaller and more affordable communities
Who benefits?
Nurses, PSWs, doctors, and emergency services: Less traffic getting to work.
Tradespeople and contractors: Faster travel between job sites, customers with more disposable income and easier scheduling.
Truck drivers and delivery workers: Reduced congestion and more efficient routes.
Retail and hospitality workers: More consumer spending available for local businesses.
Parents and caregivers: More flexibility and family time.
Taxpayers: Potential savings from reduced government office space requirements and related operating costs.
