Queen St. Fire Affects Local Businesses & Residents
To think, Less than 24hrs ago wlctv.ca was interviewing business man & founder of the ‘Festival Of Beers’ Steven Alexander (for our upcoming spring show) who woke up this Wednesday May 8th 2024, to unfortunate news. Businesses & residents between East & Brock St. were all affected by a blaze that is under investigation. The fire took place above the defunct Silly Rabbit Vape Shop at 647 Queen St. The wall adjacent to Loplops due to the fire is unstable & deemed unsafe. The fire Dept. is looking into mitigating this extreme dangerous hazard to citizens & businesses which will likely result in tearing it down with heavy equipment.

With the combination of Pierre’s optimism & his teams hard work as we watch the Liberal/NPD coalition crumble it should result in dividends for all Canadians, ensuring Poilievre’s place in history.

With The 2024 Winter Settling In, Homelessness Still A Problem!
The combination of a massive immigration push by the Liberal/NDP coalition is leading to more homelessness from rents that are continually rising, due to housing shortages.

East Meets West Convoy – It’s A Go!
wlctv.ca caught up with a contingent expressing some of their concerns, sharing their views as to why they picked up where 2022 left off. For starters, Sept. 2023, British Columbia officials through mandates began to spread fear & tyranny on citizens. Unelected world bodies are dictating over sovereign nations with blessings from elected Canadian officials. None of which Canadians support. In short, the Canada Meets West Convoy will likely be one of the biggest brainstorming in person ‘think tank’ sessions, Canada has ever seen.

Million Person March 4 The Children A Sault Success
Concerned Sault citizens of all denominations took part in today’s March for the Children. It was peaceful despite the presence of counter protesters who were at the end of the march to agitate & inflame. The local police detachment did a wonderful job in keeping the peace with help from OPP officers from throughout the district. All in all this was a great day, thank you to all. *This clip purposely excludes counter protesters because the march wasn’t about them, it was about protecting children. A comprehensive story will be posted in the near future.
