I can see County Council being in shock over the est. sixty million but the Golden Plough in the South end of the County cost 145 million, see where Brighton got a Prov. Grant of 35 million for a waste treatment plant. A article on Facebook shows the average user pays eleven and one hundred dollars a year as of April first. Would love to pay that in Trent Hills. We’re all paying County taxes so perhaps it is time for the citizens of Trent Hills to get some of our county tax dollars and MPP Picinni to get his big boy pants on and get Provincial Dollars for this much needed bridge. Excuses not accepted. Went through this trying to get a rebuild of Trent Island water. After four years of complaining the Trent Hills council found some I believe Prov. Money to do a partial rebuild. Trent Hills council needs to put the pressure on County Council and the Province.

35 year effort that taxpayers today are on the hook for. Seems if the bridge had moved forward the costs would not be so high today. Weak politicians of the past not doing what was best for the community.

The biggest of economic and financial shocks is yet to come. They think they have "PTSD" now, just wait.

While I suppose I sympathize with things being expensive....

If would behoove Hankivsky and others to learn that referencing mental health conditions such as PTSD in regard to day to day experiences is very out of date and ableist. Anyone who has experienced actually Trauma and PTSD can let them know that "sticker shock" is not a worthwhile comparison and harmful colloquialization of a serious lived condition of their constituents.....
