More than 30 people spoke against the proposed sale. What was the meeting like yesterday and the reaction from residents?

Robert “Bob” James, resident of Dundas whose property backs onto the laneway, lived there 37 years.

The union that represents HSR’s bus drivers wants city council to declare that the HSR should operate and maintain the LRT line once it is implemented. Their union has launched a campaign which includes a petition, website and video that urges that transit be kept public.

A man in London, Ontario has decided to fight for a bylaw that will see bylaw officers be able to save animals that are left in cars on a hot summer day. This comes after he encountered an incident where a dog was left in a car with cracked windows. He argues that when he called the police and confronted the owners, police said that what the owners did was not against the law.
