Unbelievable that the person who owns a building, pays taxes on it can’t determine its use but rather people not associated with it can determine its use. So who really owns this property?
The whole system is a joke. It needs to be wiped and rebuilt immediately if the government expects anyone to open their space for tenants to assist with the housing crisis.
It is unbelievable that people are allowed to buy up secondary property and then use it as income. So much for sharing and being good to your neighbour.I suppose we all pay the price at the end of the trial run.
The government should sharply increase tax on people's non-residence properties immediately. This whole rental / landlord scheme is getting out of hand. Rich preying on the vulnerable.
Highways are plowed and tons of rural people heading into town to go to work. Funny how town people (teachers) cannot drive out here to at least teach the students that have no problem getting to school. Our tax dollars hard at work giving the rural teachers a holiday. Time for a change.
The teachers working at the closed schools are required to work at city schools for the day. If the job of being a teacher is such a "holiday" how about you go do it??
Back in the early 1980's I was in the situation where the landlord asked me to leave because they wanted use of their rental unit. I never questioned it, I moved, cleaned up the place, and thanked them for their rental. That is just how it was done back then.
There is NO REASON at all to close the schools! It didn’t used to be this way! I am driving right by the school on my way to town to drop the kids off at grandparents so I can get to work! Yes I Am expected to get my to work even when it snows ! Teachers should get to work too, for kids that can get a ride to school! This needs to stop !
Seriously? So working hard and having a rental property, which the owner pays taxes on, and bought and paid for with the money they earned, is punishable now? This world is messed up when hard working people cannot do better without being made to feel like they are the bad person. What is happening in this world?
So there’s a foul smell in Thunder Bay. Residents are concerned. Okay I get it. The next story is about First Nations concerns about large scale projects near their communities, but that’s considered a nonissue. Seems like the issues are the same.
The person who owns the building decided to rent and in the same hand agreed to observe the landlord tenant act to earn income. The tenants lease, they are “associated” with the building, the building owner can do with his building as he wishes, so long as he observes the lease and law. Opening a restaurant on Simpson street? That’s one fishy smelling flag the owner has shown has no intent or intent of raising or waving.
Everyone wins in the hospital lottery. If I can contribute and help the hospital I’d rather do that than go to casino! I don’t know anyone in a casino but I always run into someone I know at hospital. Keep it going.
