Python 5000 pothole patcher's days are numbered
60You don't need the location of potholes or fancy tech to flag them, just send crews down any street that hasn't been resurfaced in the last 5 years and they'll find many craters every spring.

Gallery construction halted for budget review
57Well I can honestly say this is the smartest thing I've heard yet come out of this situation. Should have been done a long time ago because $75 million for an art gallery is absolutely ridiculous for this city. If this was Toronto I wouldn't question it but this is thunder Bay clearly this was somebody's dream to leave a legacy of some sort or something because something is definitely off here.

47Get rid of all paid staff and put out to tender to sell it off to the private sector. It’s a white elephant and it’s only going to cost the taxpayers more in the end.

Gallery construction halted for budget review
42This city is incapable of completing projects on time or on budget. I realize that it is not city run but it tracks with the city bus terminal, Chippawa Park Carrousel, stop light synchronization and the list goes on and on. Project will clearly cost more than 75 million to complete at this point. City needs to accept this reality and work with the province to convert this failed art gallery to a Science North. You could include the Northwest Sports Hall of Fame as well as the Thunder Bay Museum

43This project should have never been allowed to start. Are any of the board of directors today the same as they were when the project began - or did they simply turn it over to others to find how to solve an unsolvable problem? They bit off more than they could chew. The gallery on Confederation College premises is all that was needed in my humble view.

Hospital will 'never compromise' on patient care, says CEO
36Maybe stop spending millions of dollars on ridiculous empathy training programs for admin staff Rhonda. Maybe don’t spend millions on spaces for one race of people. You’re already compromising patient care with your hiring policies and the way you waste millions of dollars on things that have no effect on patient care.

42My bet? They’ve run out of money. You don’t put a project on hold at the height of construction season to conduct a financial review. It’s time we got full disclosure about why this project went ahead on a site that was so expensive to clean up and why it wasn’t paused before construction began to review if this was viable.

PHOTOS: ‘We all needed that’: Striking workers picket Ford luncheon
36It’s funny to hear the union bosses complaining about the location and cost of Ford’s lunch. I guess he and his people should have had the luncheon at McDonald’s. Let’s see the invoices from the union officials when they have lunch / dinners paid by the hard working members. Not funny to see the workers on the picket line, but it is funny hearing the untruths from union heads

39This project should be halted to determine why this fiasco proceeded at all on this site. Why would the art gallery agree to pay all the costs of the environmental cleanup that turned out to cost $10 million. No tenant on the planet in their right mind would agree to that condition in the lease. But the art gallery board did. The other question is why the art gallery didn’t pause the project when they found out the true costs of the cleanup. The original estimate was $1.5 million for the cleanup. But $10 million? Someone should have said publicly, whoa, maybe we ought to forget this site, leave it fallow and clean it up over time using bioremediation. That would have been the cheaper, smarter option. Methinks, though, big egos pushed this disaster ahead.

34I think it's time for an independant audit.The Hospital Foundation has spent Millions of dollars (Thanks to its monthly 50/50 draws) on purchasing equipment that the hospital otherwise would have purchased. That means the hospital should have saved millions of dollars.Something doesn't add up.

32How about getting the federal government to ante up as we are the ones providing care for the Indigenous population for thousands of square miles around and they are the responsibility of the Federal Government, not the Provincial or Municipal. They deserve medical care the same as everyone else but they and everyone else are not getting proper care, because the Feds are not living up to their responsibility.

33How do you honestly defend this purchase? It operates less than 20% of a calendar year, is high-maintenance, will barely last a decade, AND the company that built it is out of business.
