40These two statues are hideous, grotesque and were a frivolous waste of taxpayer money. However, that does not give anyone the right to vandalize them or any other public art installation.

Muslim Association withdraws its Junot Park proposal
16Truly disappointing to see the opposition this site drew, and not at all surprised by the people who hid behind "we're losing greenspace" in a city with twice the national average, surrounded by forest and lakes. I'll concede there's some legitimate opposition here. However, by and large, judging from the comments I've seen discussed here and elsewhere online, for many this never had anything to do with the use of the greenspace. This city has a long history of deciding who gets to feel welcome here, and it's well past time we said so out loud.

49The city should be ashamed of themselves for even offering that property. They should reimburse the muslim community for the money that they have spent.

48I feel badly for the Muslim association. The people in charge of selling land should never have led them to believe that parks are for sale. Obviously this was all going on for a length of time without any community input or consultation. Shame on the person who allowed this to happen. Since when are public parks part of surplus land in Thunder Bay. Council needs to revisit the direction to city management about what property is up for grabs. I truly hope the Muslim association can find suitable property that is not parkland. Kudos to them for respecting all citizens concerns.

Nurses' association calls for Indigenous-led care
38We need to stop with the one approach for one person with a different approach for the other and a different approach for the other. Everybody needs equal and quality treatment and that is that simple. The minute you start to overcomplicate things and demanding special treatment for one group over another is when real problems start to arise. As I said equal in quality treatment across the board is what is needed and that is it. Let's keep this simple.

36This had nothing to do with respect for Muslims, it does have everything to do with imprper planning from city administration.

35More funding!Money does not change the fact that Indigenous believe they are entitled to specific treatment their way.Hospital patients all receive top care and treatment and patients need to respect the work the doctors/nurses/ support staff do.When one respects other people, they get respect back

7Wow. Way to attract educated professionals to enhance many of the services in crisis, protestors. Thank goodness your memorial benches don’t have to be moved to another beautiful area of this 13 acre park. Way to go. More progress halted in a city that just can’t seem to keep up with the rest of the country.

33These whimsical creations are fun and while not to evertone's taste, I see no reason for vandalizing. The resulting squat is reflective of the mentality behind this.

33Healthcare already costs over 50% of the provincial budget. We already have the answers, provide the same care to everyone, no one group should get a special level of care. If you want that go to the states and pay for private otherwise I’m sick and tired of new management positions being created on the taxpayer dime to cater to on ethnic group. Healthcare is healthcare, the same for everyone. Treat the healthcare professionals with respect and you’ll get it in return. It’s not complicated and we don’t need billions of more dollars to create another system within a system for one group. Enough is enough

30There’s no point in trying to make this city anything less than the cesspool it’s become. There are too many people who have no respect for property.

20Not excusing the vandalism they need to be caught and prosecuted. These were an absolute waste of money and a dumb idea from the get go.
