'Two more weeks of anxiety': Shelter village site remains in limbo
67The Shelter Village project needs to be shut down. The majority of Thunder Bay citizens have made it clear they do not want this development, regardless of where it’s located. Council has already dragged this out far too long, creating more anxiety and division in the community. The recent poll showing 64% of residents opposed should be proof enough that this is not the solution people want. This project has been mishandled from the start—rushed decisions, poor planning, and no real transparency. Instead of wasting time and risking millions in funding on something the public overwhelmingly rejects, Council should step back, respect the will of the people, and focus on real long-term housing solutions that address the root causes of homelessness. Band-Aid fixes like this shelter village will only lead to more problems, not solutions. It’s time to listen to the citizens of Thunder Bay and shut this project down once and for all.

57Nothing like drawing attention to yourself when you don't have insurance, etc. Stupid is as stupid does.

Vote to have city staff chose allowable encampment sites fails in a tie again
51I'm 69 years old and I have seen many different councils come and go. This one is the biggest joke of them all. Time for them all to go. " I think we are really harming the public's trust in us"That was lost a long time ago.

7If we listened to the general public we wouldn't have the Auditorium that has entertained thousands and thousands of people. We wouldn't have the complex that has provided great physical activity for thousands of users each year. We would not have a round-a-bout because the population was positive that busses and trucks every day were going to be crashing there. There is lots of things the general public may not want. They are not always right. Actually the loudest ones that seem to "speak for the masses" generally are a minority. They are just the louder bunch. The city and the vulnerable need this project to happen. The project and our tax base need it to be successful. No successful project is a waste of money.

32Why waste a pile of money on a temporary fix when we should be building permanent affordable housing complex’s on surplus city owned properties throughout the city!

33I think that the only message businesses have for the homeless is "Don't vandalize, shoplift or steal from us, and don't harrass our customers"

15Why hasn't the "master negotiator" reached an agreement yet? That was his whole platform when running for PM how he is the best suited to deal with Trump. Liberal voters duped again.

33Even if they finally decide on a location and actually stick to it, they instilll absolutely no confidence that they can do this successfully.

23I understand Spirits Canada fighting for their members and wanting US products back on the shelves, but it seems to me a 20% drop in overall sales of alcohol isn’t a terrible thing for people - maybe some are realizing cutting back is a good thing. And yes, I drink. (mainly beer).

33If a member of council really wants to participate in council meetings for which they are being paid, they can do it from virtually anywhere on planet earth where there internet service access. Not participating, if they are physically/mentally able to do so, when such important issues are up for decisions is simply being irresponsible.
