This is a direct result of Canada's decision to support addicts in maintaining their addictions through access to free drugs, zero consequences for antisocial behavior and a city council full of people who are more concerned with bleeding heart policies than public safety. At some point, you Liberal voters are going to have to recognize and admit that your social experiment of treating addiction with a smile and a pat on the back has failed. Thunder Bay has never been a particularly introspective town, but it is no longer possible to deny that the wild increase in violent crime, homelessness and addiction did not come from nowhere and that it all went wild under Liberal leadership. It's also no longer possible to pretend like this isn't happening all over Thunder Bay and that these addicts are just one hug away from going back to their productive careers and families. Hard choices need to be made here, and across the country, but we seem to lack leadership willing to make them.
The new US border facility will never see me. Since the USA started its economic warfare with Canada I have not made a single trip to the USA and never will again. Americans only have themselves to blame, both republicans and democrats. Enough of the US world-wide stupidity, they have turned the whole world off anything and everything american.
"he requires a firearms license for hunting" ???THE OFFICER BROKE HIS OATH IMO He should never be allowed to carry a weapon & should NEVER be in a position of power or be a police officer ever again!
How's much revenue could have been generated from 113 jaywalking tickets per day?Why is it a good idea to stop traffic at every intersection because pedestrians are to lazy to walk to the nearest existing crosswalk?
First of all, if you’ve been paying attention, things like this have been going on in cities across the country for years and years. Unfortunately it’s now hit Thunder Bay, I’m so sick of people who love to dump on the city and pretend this is only occurring here. Give your head a shake
What a joke. Be nice to see you guys follow a case of assault against an officer to its conclusion….oh wait, those cases (of which there are many) don’t fit the narrative and we don’t to put their picture out there
Why should motorists take precedence over pedestrians? We pay taxes, we deserve to use our streets safely. Why should we be forced to walk down to a set of lights and then back up the street to reach our destination? Why should we be inconvenienced but not you? Are cars more superior?
Bingo. The “victim,” was a drunk lunatic who wanted to fight the officer. Hopefully this upstanding cop gets to keep his job and I’m glad to see that the loser won’t be menacing society anymore.
Why hasnt the biggest promoter of intolerance, hate and division in Canadian history , Justin Trudeau, faced any consequences along with his entourage?
unfortunately due to your hate towards liberals, your point of view is ignorant. This is a provincial, not a federal issue. The cuts that Ford has done reflects the result of your claim. The federal liberal leadership will be in power for a very long time. Get used to it.
Regular people suffer because we condone addicts and criminals. Sad that the rest of us have to pay for these people, while at the same time being punished for their actions.
TBNewswatch. How is the above comment constructive and respectful? (Part of your comment guidelines.) Is it ok to make disrespectful comments about our police force? You're pretty quick to remove comments about other issues. Why not this one?
I suppose it is marginally better than yet ANOTHER set of traffic lights. 🙄. Heaven forbid a pedestrian has to wait a little longer to cross! Let’s continue to impede the flow of traffic in this city. How “progressive”.
