'People are dying': First Nations urge city to declare homelessness emergency
123It is upsetting that people are dying when they don’t need to be. The government funds the reserves to take care of their people, except some of the people end up on the streets in Thunder Bay without the reserve funding. Where does this funding go? Perhaps the funding needs to go directly to the people instead of to the band. The money obviously isn’t making it to the people that need it the most. Maybe the bands should be setting up shelters for their people in Thunder Bay if they don’t want to give it to them directly. There’s a good starting place for Mr. Fiddler to explore.

70There is room in the shelters in the city and the Salvation Army building, but there are rules in shelters. And you’ll notice if you look there is no one sleeping in the tents these days…..so they have gone somewhere. And show me in the news where someone has died recently at one of the tent sites. There are zero deaths related to the tent sites.

15Another day another accident involving transport trucks. One can only wonder how long the highway will be shut down if spent nuclear fuel rods are strewn about. How anyone can continue to say this isn't a concern is beyond comprehension.

3Nobody would survive sleeping in a tent in -45C weather. People aren't allowed to build shacks with a woodstove to survive. Nobody wants to stay in a homeless shelter either but that's the last resort.How about rent and housing becomes affordable again?Ontario welfare is $733/month... lol. How is that even considered welfare.Nobody cares if they aren't homeless themselves.God is going to wipe this place soon... There are so many evil people now.

23Enjoy the moment, the only direction the popularity index for the federal liberals are going is down. His true colors are showing more by every passing month and they are not pretty, like the hidden industrial carbon tax, the all out attacks on gun owners, and the lack of any progress on his last election promises while inflation ramps upward without any indication of relief for Canadians.

10Seeing as how Canada does not have the will or the money to fully divide "the most dangerous highway in Canada."Maybe they should... reduce the speed limit to 70. I think it's safe to admit by now that it's not safe to travel at "highway speeds" regardless of who, what, when, where or why.I bet the cost to service all these accidents is astronomical, not to mention the loss of cargo, damage to vehicles and loss of life.How many politicians have "stepped up" and lobbied for change at this point?

32Welfare is meant as a temporary help not a life time way of life. As for not able to survive in a tent at -45, hundreds of thousands indigenous people did.

3078% of Thunder Bay’s homeless population are Indigenous people. Of course many groups suffer from homelessness, but we cannot pretend that this isn’t a disproportionately Indigenous issue.

24Simple answer to Dougie “NO” if their product is good an priced so people can afford them I’ll definitely take a look 👀 at them.

26I seem to remember that Canada first put tarrifs on Chinese EV's to appease the US. The US rewarded us by adding punitive tarriffs to our automotive products. How do you deal with an opponent who has no respect for past relationships and makes idiotic threats every day. Sorry Doug but it is time to move foreward and deal with players who show some respect.
