BREAKING Province seizes control of troubled Near North District School Board
38It honestly feels like every week there’s another mess coming out of North Bay. From the city hall fiasco, to the issues with the NBMCA, to the NBRHC job losses, and now the province stepping in to take control of the NNDSB — it’s exhausting and embarrassing.How are citizens supposed to trust leadership when every major institution in this city seems to be falling apart at the same time? It’s no wonder we struggle to attract new businesses, real tourism, or even keep our population from shrinking. People want to live in a place that functions — not one that makes headlines for all the wrong reasons.Something has to change. We deserve accountability, competence, and a city that actually works for the people who live here.

‘Are we beating a dead horse?’: Third-party review of Mayor’s expense controversy voted down
30North Bay 100 years. What would our founder think of the state of affairs in our Democratic institution?The word democracy comes from Ancient Greek:δῆμος (dēmos) = "people" (specifically the common people or the citizen body)κρατία (kratía) = "power", "rule", or "strength" (from the verb κρατεῖν, kratein = "to rule")So δημοκρατία (dēmokratía) literally means "rule by the people" or "the power of the people".Our City Council operates more like a secret society than actually serving its constituents. Enough of this clown show, the people are bordering on disgust and broke. This cannot be fixed. Not at this point. If they are not seeking answers, seeking the problems to rectify, then just leave. Leave your seat.

27There will be no gain in beating the dead horse. However there are 9 live horses (mayor & 8 councilors) that need a beating next election.

9Minister of Education: left university before graduating in History and Political Science - finished his degree much later through correspondence courses. Zero experience in the education system…zero experience in the schoolsystem….zero experience in the classroom.

22Bravo, maybe some other Ministry’s should follow suit, I know of a few places that have "deep-rooted dysfunction and mismanagement that have eroded public confidence," here in the North Bay Area

14Inch says, ““No councillor should ever have to go through what I went through,” Vrebosch said. “No Staff member should ever have to go through what they went through.”You’re something else lady! What about THE PEOPLE that go through this and much worse on a daily basis at the claws of government??? Talk about virtue signalling you take the cake!’

20No we are not beating a dead horse, we need to shake out the carpet and see what falls out, but the majority of this council is too cowardly to anything about it. Makes one wonder if phone calls from the power brokers in this city are making phone calls to some of these councilors. We need total and un-obfuscated transparency once and for all in this city.

20Self-serving and power drunk. High handed and above the law attitude. Acting with impunity and a sense of entitlement and arrogance that would put some leaders to shame. You’re ignoring the will of the people while disregarding democratic principles. You’re eroding public trust and behaving like an unchecked authority— as if you don’t have to answer to anyone, including the people who put you in your higher than thou positions. Your actions are not of or for the people.
