CLOSER LOOK: This historic Ontario building may soon be history
In cities and towns across Ontario - and at Queen’s Park and Parliament Hill - our journalists work for you. Their mission is to dig for answers and tell you what they find.
This new feature - ‘Closer Look’ - is a chance to hear directly from those dedicated reporters and editors.
Every weeknight, Village Media’s Scott Sexsmith sits down with one of our journalists to explore an important story they are covering. These in-depth conversations go beyond the headlines, helping viewers better understand how we gather the details that land in your local news feed.
On tonight’s episode of ‘Closer Look’: The fight to save a century-old greenhouse.
Built in the 1930s, the D.M. Rutherford Family Conservatory has been a landmark structure at the University of Guelph for decades. But after watching it fall into a state of disrepair in recent years, the university now plans to demolish the greenhouse and replace it with a commemorative garden.
That plan has triggered plenty of backlash, including an online petition that calls for the greenhouse to be saved and restored. The university says that would cost millions of dollars, which would be better spent elsewhere.
Joining us tonight is GuelphToday reporter Richard Vivian, who has been covering the controversy. You can read his latest story HERE.

Mental health failures also fall on the family. They have to be the 1st action. Actions all around could have been done better.
What a sad story. 😢
Wow you got 13 boomers to watch this video. What kind of news agency can't even get 400 subscribers on a free international forum. You guys are really bad. lol. This is hilarious.
"Viilage Media" is absolute trash
OMG you literally have ZERO views. What a bunch of losers lol
What a sad channel this is. Where are all your loser boomer supporters? I bet you wish you could edit these comments like you loser newspaper. lol!
I guess they never thought about audits and security cameras.
Always when something has value somebody will try and steal it. Maybe they wanted it too hang in man cave or too sell to a collector. Hitler stole a lot of artifact's from around the World in his qwest for immortal life.
Fun fact …. Water cannons are far more effective in the winter
why not do what has been done for the "newcomers". Put the people in shelters in hotels, put addicted people in shelters with staff and safety measures for detox. THe other homeless are in the hotels too. The little cottages be constructed by homeless or ones on assistance wanting to learn the trades. Being involved in setting up the little cabins will also give these people a certain kind of pride in themselves and in their home. why can't this be done. better yet don't tell me why it can't be done tell me why it can be done
I thought this was Victor Garner for a moment.
How about...stop giving excuses for those that care merely for their next fix as well as doing absolutely nothing productive yet expecting government money...Reality comes aknocking...it is taxpayer's money..region of waterloo owns nothing...once again...taxpayers...oh and about that missed seventeen million fee overlooked...yeah right...
And still a war on the homeless people continues here and worldwide...shows they not care....they will offer maid services. 😂😂😂.because they care so much. 😂😂😂.
Ban air b and b and might increase some affordable rentals. Place people with drug problems into treatment or jail, and make property so homeless can camp with supervision and security! Make law for corporations to contribute towards affordable housing! Remove any troublemakers from camps and place in jail. Toronto island could be a safe haven under the right rules and conditions! If not ban any or all new comers like refugees or illegals till government sorts out this mess that trudeau created, at the rate governments continue this b.s. regime this will increase, canada cant help newcomers at this moment, for those that oppose these camps careful cause this n.i.m.b.y. attitude could affect you if you lose your home or place of residence or no money to rent or cant find a place affordable or just unavailable.
Sue liberals to access their embezzlement from taxpayer's to their slush fund to house or make housing! Or purchase property for these people to camp.
'Can't be sober enough for a shelter' is lack of personal responsibility, NOT lack of accessability.
Where do you want me to go?? The state cannot own any property,all state property is bought with tax payers money and I pay taxes like everyone else. Don't use drugs or alcohol just can't afford rent and utilities and food
This is where we have expanded upl? Of course shelters have rules can you just imagine what would happen is shelters let everyone do drugs in there. Doesn't bare thinking about. These people have gone without rules for a very long time and if you want a place to sleep then there are sacrifices. We ABSOLUTELY have to stop treating these people like they are made of glass.. If they can't follow the no drugs no alcohol rule in a shelter then the next p,ace must be prison. But they have no right to make the streets filthy an dangerous for decent citizens
How about addressing the fact that our country is being over run and destroyed by immigrants.
You could solve the problem by stop building condos that people can’t afford and aren’t being rented. They are being used to make profits while our people are on the streets the condos sit empty. They’re not building nearly enough

The cowards gotta go against the United Nations and use a notwithstanding clause so that they can kick people out and charge them money and put them in jail when there is no place to go. Why don’t they open up a lot where people can put up a tent when they have no place to go.
liability and funding bud
Shelters are not built for the elderly and what about shelters for the people that are disabled?
Shelters are not built for the elderly
Look at the tens of thousands of condominiums sitting empty while our people have no place to go
Condominiums! First,y becuse they happen to be empty doesn't mean they don't belong to anyone they are private property. And l am sure they don't want a whole .OT of crack heads a d homeless. Who is going to pay the rent??
Canada is a third world country now. Halves nots and have yachts. Stolen from taxpayers. Disgusting fake country under the Zelinsky CURSE!
First, the government makes it too expensive for the poor to be able to afford a place and then when they have no place to go, they criminalized them instead of trying to get them home. He’d rather charge them $10,000 and throw them in jail for six months.
How about the rich people with housing mind their own business. Or didn't their moms teach them right.
Its simple, build affordable housing. Rich elite low class people can mind their own business.
Building + affordable = 😂 No, seriously though. Building an affordable home is not possible now, for developers and individuals.
@aw2589 affordable apartments are currently being built.your comment makes no sense
king dilkens windsor ontario did not need a notwithstanding clause in 2020 when he ordered an encampment that was on private property removed

Fordo is not what you would call a man who wants to help homeowners. Since his election rental properties have risen over 10% in 4 years, his rates for welfare have remained at about 720.00 a month unchanged over six years where inflation has reduced that value by more than 25%. Cold homes...mean streets. He runs around closing bike lanes in TO -- meanwhile this is a municipal issue; stolen by him. He plans to spend 4 million on this. Can't he just remove a few signs?? 4 million. OMG. A spa in Ontario place (imagine the graft going to his construction buddies)-- a useless appendage for a few rich people. Meanwhile, he sold highway 407 to the Spaniards for gidzillions and we pay thru the nose. Why can't Fordo go back to Chicago where he spends most of his time anyway.
I agree Ford isn't perfect I disagree with many of his policies. But I also remember Winn as a liberal who wrecked Ontario. The federal Trudo who destroyed Canada is to blame for homelessness that grew massively under his watch.
Oh yes , like Kathleen Wynn did Ontario soooo many favours . The reason everything went up is due to shortages of supply , created by Justin bringing in way too many people . Justin and the Libtards , brought in these people hoping to get their votes .
If government workers aren't happy with their jobs, they should find another one and let someone who is, take the job. Those whom are willing to work, are BULLIED, and called "SCABS". But UNIONS, have PROTECTED JOBS, and NO ONE is ALLOWED to FILL "THEIR JOB". HOLDING THE PUBLIC'S PROPERTY, HOSTAGE TO THEIR DEMANDS -I thought it was Illegal to withhold someone's mail - However, it doesn't seem to apply, to the CIVIL SERVANTS -ENTRUSTED to Deliver our Mail. I used to deliver Fliers for PENNIES, through companies Canada Post Subcontracted to , and I'm SURE People still do. GLAD WE COULD HELP YOU GET A FAIR DEAL! Every time we turn around, the Government and Unions are DISRUPTING OUR LIVES because they are NOT HAPPY! BULLYING THE PUBLIC TO THEIR DEMAND$ _________________________________________________________________ Private sector workers earn less, work more: report Published Monday, March 23, 2015 The average public sector employee makes 18 to 37 per cent more than a comparable employee working in the private sector, according to a new report from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. The report, which compares employee compensation in the private and public sectors found that, when salaries, benefits and working hours are factored in, a private sector employee makes up to $8,150 less per year, and works up to six hours more each week, compared to someone doing the same job for the government. If government workers were paid at the same rate as their private sector counterparts, Canadian taxpayers would save up to $20 billion a year, according to the report. CFIB chief economist Ted Mallett said, while the numbers are startling, the organization has arrived at similar conclusions in previous reports on the subject. "We've been finding this for decades," he told CTV's Canada AM on Monday. "The numbers don't really change a whole lot, so we're hoping we can start to get some traction to make the cost of our government a lot more affordable." He added that the $20 billion figure is likely an underestimate, as the CFIB was not able to find good metrics to measure certain employee benefits. The report, which relied on data from the 2011 National Household Survey, found that the compensation gap widens when employment benefits including working hours and pensions were taken into account. The findings are based on the average full-time employment earnings of more than 7.2 million Canadians. Other highlights of the report include: The federal government had the largest compensation gap, with a salary premium of 13 per cent, growing to 33.2 per cent once benefits were accounted for; The salary premium for municipal employees was 8.9 per cent, growing to 22.3 per cent with benefits; The salary premium for provincial government employees was 5.5 per cent, growing to 21.2 per cent with benefits; Among the various public sectors, Canada Post employees had one of the biggest salary premiums of 16.6 per cent, growing to 36.9 per cent with benefits; For 2010, annual wages and salaries for the public sector ranged from $51,029 to $69,833, compared to $48,872 to $61,688 for private sector employees. Mallett said that the gap between public sector and private sector compensation is likely due to the lack of a competitive marketplace for public services. Unlike the private sector, where wages are often tied to the value of a particular product in the open market, there is no comparable way to determine wages in the public sector, he said, noting that public sector unions, particularly in strike situations, also play a role in driving the wage gap. "The point is, they'd like to run government efficiently, but they want to get people back to work first, and they'll figure out how to pay for it later," Mallet said. He added in a statement: "Public sector earnings have been allowed to drift well above market-tested norms, and cash-strapped governments are looking for ways to invest in infrastructure and other priorities. Closing the gap is not just what's fair, it's what is needed."
Well, guess what? You just did screwed it up and closed down businesses too. Should I go on?!:(
I am over 70 and getting around is good at best, so I do my xmas shopping online ,used to be fast and easy,I also live in a rural setting so most delivery services don't come this way , they hand all there parcels over to Canada post.... my xmas will be ruined while my gifts sit in some warehouse....thnx Canada post hope that Santa has lot of clumps of coal for you guys!!!
Already have n folks not happy with this strike
CUPW are NOT HARD DONE BY. Shameful that he would even say that. Embarrassing!!! This is true greed!
CUPW chose to strike when they did and don't have the publics support. The union is killing Christmas and will end up getting lockout or laid off all while they cause this at this time of year. They could have waited till after the new year but they tried and failed to crunch the company. The Union rep is delusional. After this strike Canada Post will be over run by all the other companies. THE CUPW KILLED CHRISTMAS .
This is the only time of the year they can get Canadians to give a fuck. Can't blame them. Maybe if we don't want this to happen we should tell the government to get to the table in August and pay them so we have mail in December
Sell Canada 🇨🇦 Post
I don’t care if they never go back. I have found a better way.
but that was your decision to not have christmas
What a lying idiot and useless lazy employees. We have a Rancher here starting a class action lawsuit against the union for breach of contract they are holding Canada hostage and some are going bankrupt over it. This particular rancher has a check in their system for her cattle that's over $300,000 enough to bankrupt her
JIm wants gender affirming surgery for all workers.
I spent 4 years building my on line business and now its closed. As soon as I can I will be cancelling any delivery to my home by CP. I liked paper bills but have changed that too. I wont buy so much as an over priced stamp. I bought supplies for my business.
They have ruined xmas for themselves and many many other people who rely on postal service. Business and charitys. They can blame each other but both are responsible. End of the say that will only affect their profits long term.
CPC is responsible by delaying negotiations.
You are wrong.The postal workers were forced into this position, 100%.
@@smorgdonkeythe postal workers chose to strike, they are 💯 responsible for this and Canadians all hate them now
@ they voted to go on strike and right before black friday and holiday season. Truly a donkey
@@TheDong604 that was their only option. Management had ALL YEAR to negotiate and they didn't. Maybe you think that the furnace oil guys should go on strike in the summer.
I haven't watched the interview yet, but isn't it actually the plan of the union to take strike action and the most painful possible time in order to force Canada Post (in this situation) to alleviate as soon as possible? Doesn't doing it at this time be a discussed strategy that would lean towards having a stronger union outcome? I think the union has found they're not getting the support they anticipated they would, and they miscalculated on how Canada Post would respond (layoffs, walk away from table, etc). To be honest, I thought this would have been resolved by now. But the ways it's been going, I can now see it dragging out into 2025 and a major corporate restructuring taking place. Including wide-spread layoffs.
This's way worse than radical vegans at a steakhouse. They f**ked it up big time.
You're not just playing with Christmas, you're messing with people's livelihoods, AND blocking medical supplies. You guys should have given Canada's people a month long heads up to get things in order.
Ummm...CUPW actually gave Canadians two month's notice, as per Canadian Labour laws. They have been without a contract and willing to negotiate almost a year. The real question is why is Canada Post not willing to negotiate.
@ctaub516 clearly no one got that memo.
@@HWA520a maybe because the work is taken for granted.
@@ctaub516 clearly you did no research
Canada post had over a year to make an offer. Canada post did not make an offer and canceled the agreement that was in place. Workers were working without a contract and had no protection. Blame management with their massive salaries and $120000 bonuses.
get back to work.... all your doing is making people hate you even more
so you hate the workers and not the management who refused to negotiate??? They have been out of a contract for a year
