City still seeing Ontario’s highest opioid death rate, despite decline
45Why should addicts stop using fatal drugs, when they get all the assistance they require to continue using these fatal drugs. Enabling is off the charts and contributes to the deaths.

17I do not agree with this whatsoever but maybe tbnewswatch can also do an article on how Carney is stacking up committees with Liberals to block investigations on potential Liberal corruption and his conflicts of interests

Mayor donates $10,000 to indoor turf facility
27Taxpayers are going to be asked to contribute $650,000 a year to a capital reserve fund to pay for the replacement of the artificial turf when it wears out as well as the HVAC and other systems. Who’s being the generous one here? City council refused to look at the idea of a private/public partnership. Instead, it’s pretty well all on taxpayers. Plenty of virtue signalling, though.

Mayor donates $10,000 to indoor turf facility
27Aside from funding the build, taxpayers will be "donating" money every year to subsidize this facility. Should have let the private sector build it. Soccerplex, hockey rinks, golf courses, etc., all should be self supporting.

LETTER: Who profits from skyrocketing gas prices?
13I don't disagree in principle, but a lot of people are inflicting harm on themselves by buying big ridiculous fuel-inefficient SUVs and pickup trucks.Just like if you do not vote, then you have no right to complain... if you drive a gas-guzzler, then you don't get to comment on gas prices.

Harris plans to run for mayor a second time
32I’m not voting for him but it’s interesting you decided to follow his case to conclusion and name him. Not the same for rapists and violent offenders. Personal agenda?

Suspect wanted a Pepsi — How a can of pop helped police end a standoff
5Thumbs up for her and thumbs down for the police and swat team, whose lack of de-escalation training permitted this standoff to continue for more than 5 hours.

11The private sector had over a decade to build it and did nothing. Why do people ignore that fact when making that silly argument

3Johnny clearly shows that you don't know what you're talking about if that's what you believe. If you knew anything at all about it, you would not be saying that.

22I agree with many of Mr. Harris’ points. Spending heavily on shelter villages risks normalizing homelessness rather than solving it. That funding would be better used for treatment facilities that address addiction and mental health at the root—where real, lasting change happens.He also brings up accountability, which is often avoided. There are valid concerns about whether funding intended to support Indigenous people is actually reaching those who need it most. If it isn’t, that’s a serious issue that deserves honest discussion and better oversight.At the same time, bringing up Mr. Harris’ past feels unnecessary. If he has served his sentence, voters can make their own judgment. It distracts from the real issues.Thunder Bay needs practical solutions, not political framing or personal attacks.

Auditorium seeks feedback as it prepares to update its image
24I will not go to the auditorium until it gets rid of Ticketmaster and Live Nation - and I am betting that there are artists that would stop off in the city if they had a contract that paid what they earned instead of allowing individuals with their bots buying up tickets to resell. We are a small market and can afford to go back to paper tickets picked up at the Aud tickaet office. Cant even go to a hockey game without paying a double charge - they even force the sports teams to allow Bots and resell and it is more expensive to buy the same seat at the boxoffice. GREEDY GREEDY and the fans pay for it

17They have a majority government. It’s common practice. Please brush up on Canadian politics. You just continue to sound silly.

LETTER: Who profits from skyrocketing gas prices?
19It's always the rich getting richer...it amazed me how quickly the prices for gas increased...even before the tanks were empty. It has been this way forever and I really don't see any change coming anytime soon....definitely not in my lifetime. These people, including grocery and clothing and hardware and every other conglomerate will strike while the pan is hot...any excuse to raise prices. And with that being said, the government is trying to eliminate the middle class. Soon it will be either you are rich, or you are poor and that is that.

21I do not “need to be held accountable” for the homeless population. Don’t drag me into something that doesn’t and never has affected me.
