I recently walked through that trail. I spoke with a tenter who was on his way to work. As much as one can empathize with the homeless situation, this is a serious public safety issue.
And that folks is how a city can lower their crime stats and say they have a high clearance rates. Take a look at the resources used and road closure, BUT, nothing to see here. Maybe “ less boots are needed “ on the ground. Major incident and “ cleared otherwise “, but call it cleared.
Do I have this straight? Vendors quit going there because the city charges too much, and now they want them back? At what cost to the vendor. Please make up your mind.TBay !
“ Nothing to see here”, they were asking you not to be a rubber necker Johnny , to stay away. If they didn’t ask people to stay away and something was to happen you’d be all over the police for not warning people. Where did you get that they were trying to lower the crime rate? Do you think they were lying about the incident? Read the article a couple of times where does it say “ cleared otherwise” ? The article did mention that “ police presence has concluded and there is no ongoing risk to public safety” .You cry if they do, you cry if they don’t!
Scary situation.Just asking, If homeless, how can they afford quality tents, bbq, all the warm cloths and sleeping bags. If these are provided by organizations, would not funds be better spent on accomodations as there are many empty buildings that could provide shelter
Why is this news? Air Canada and Porter frequently cancel flights and leave people scrambling to make alternative arrangements. Coworkers booked on an Air Canada flight that got canceled last week were rebooked on Porter which then canceled, stranded for 3 days, there is no article about their hardship.This is the reality of travel these days. Why does this plane load of vacationers make the news? So they lost a day of vacation. When the domestic flights are canceled people miss medical appointments, personal engagements, weddings, funerals...
They are banning assault type weapons. Weapons that are designed to kill as many people as possible in the least amount of time. Weapons only the police and military should have. You can still own a firearm , rifle or handgun. So tell me why you need and assault weapon?? I’ve asked many of the uneducated here that complain the government is taking away the rights to own guns , first they are not and second why so you need the type of weaponed they are banning?
The people in those tents choose to be there, due to having no rules, no accountability, supplies delivered etc etc. The city enablers will tell you different.
Westjet is getting worse by the day…as bad as many thought Sunwing was, at least they got you to your destination. Since Westjet have fully taken over Sunwing, the prices have gone way up and the service has gone way down.
Good. Thunder Bay police should be focusing on illegal guns which they have always done and not on legal gun owners. The Liberal government is trying to disarm Canadians under the guise of gun violence. Rather then the Liberals disarming Canadians, Canadians need to take the Liberals power away.
