Bare-chested driver draws Thunder Bay Transit's attention

More like the job has no respect for them. These drivers are treated very poorly by their management and supervisors, they are spit on, punched and verbally assaulted daily by the public. Drivers have extremely stressful time pressure schedules to deal with on top of navigating around some of the worst most entitled vehicle drivers and pedestrians in the country. Bus drivers are called in at any hour of the day and may be forced to drive for 14 hours a day with little to no breaks while their union does nothing to help them. Available washrooms are few and far between or may put them way behind schedule. I applaud this driver for taking a stand, I can't imagine how hot it must get in that tiny little driver compartment surrounded by windshields and glass.

Bet that you have a nice cushy job with plenty of air conditioning right? I bet you air conditioning on this bus wasn't working. I'm guessing it's been a long time since you've ridden one of those buses if you ever have at all and don't know how hot they can get. Honestly I can't say I blame him it's not like it was hurting anybody he didn't do anything illegal.

Wonder what the comments would be if this man wasn't Caucasian. Probably not "give the guy a break" or "legend."

YAWN.... Interesting though is that the whole "Buy Canadian" thing is very selective isn't it?

I’m glad Costco is finally coming to Thunder Bay. They will certainly give the 3 Walmarts a good run for their money.

not to get political, but our governments haven't done a thing about the crazy rising costs for groceries in the past few years. a lot of talk and no action. Costco will save a lot of people money as it is much cheaper than shopping at places like Walmart & superstore.

It is beyond time for the hospital to provide covered parking, especially for handicapped who have to shlep through snow in winter.

Maybe this driver was driving an out of service bus over for repairs without passengers.

The city will not be offering a fireworks show on Canada Day night, a decision that dates back to 2021 following the discovery of 200 potential burial sites at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School.Remind me again how these two events are somehow connected???

Oh my... a guy had a shirt off. How is this news? Whoever took the picture AND submitted it to the news give your head a shake. Not like he was pantsless and walking the street!

@Michael Bunter - YAWN? Buddy, the only thing more selective than 'Buy Canadian' is your excitement level... zero for the first big-box retailer in decades that's actually gonna bring well-paying jobs, cheaper bulk groceries, and sells plenty of Canadian goods like Quebec maple syrup, Canadian honey, BC lasagna, and loads of local produce right on the shelves.But sure, keep clutching your selective outrage while you fill your cart with American iPhones, Chinese clothes, and Mexican avocados at Walmart. Costco's arrival is the most Canadian thing to happen here in years: practical, no-nonsense, and finally giving Thunder Bay something worth waking up for.Nothing says 'Buy Canadian' like boycotting the one store that'll actually help Canadian wallets, create local jobs, and stock plenty of genuine Canadian products. Peak selective indeed.

except costco is much cheaper than walmart, but I suppose you're rich and enjoy paying a premium for groceries.
