Decode Your Life By Living It Without Regret or Sorrow. - ONE DAY AT A TIME - What great news. The Oshawa Generals hockey team is on a roll. They are having an awesome season. One would think that with the Oshawa 100th anniversary that the City would be on fire in celebration. Or at the least the Region celebrating it’s 50th anniversary. The City and or the Region would be capitalizing on the great achievements of the Oshawa Generals and use this opportunity to bring tourism to the region. No, instead we get the same old same old. Instead of painting the City of Oshawa red white and blue in support of the Generals. What do we have. A bunch of street banners promoting a college. Come on people, who is doing the thinking at City hall? No wonder the City of Oshawa is in such condition. Nothing, but hookers, drug addicts and the homeless. To ad insult to injury. The City does not promote any of it’s events. No notices are being published. Road closures, construction, community events, important notices, facility closures, 100th celebration events. Nothing. When was the last time you seen a notice or event published in your community newspaper. The Durham Region is having changes to garbage collection. Have you seen it published? The Region is having a battery recycling event, road closures, and many important events that you should know about.... have you seen it published any place? I know that if I had been elected to office. I would have used this 100th opportunity to unite our community. To host events every week that catered to family interests. We have 2 million dollars to waste on a quasi militia security firm... for whose benefit? We have bylaw and the police. Why do we need 2 million wasted on a private firm. I would use that money to host events. To create programs for the homeless so they do not have to sleep on our streets. Give them opportunity. I would promote the Generals efforts by encouraging local business to give discounts to people coming in to their stores wearing Generals wear. I would use the momentum to raise money that would go to children programs and to feed those in need. We have a great opportunity on our front doors and the door of opportunity is being shut. So, sad to see such opportunities come and go. Well, In my opinion we should all be behind the accomplishments of the Oshawa General and wish them the best of luck in their next series. The road to success is a long one. GO GENERAL GO.
