Python 5000 pothole patcher's days are numbered
60You don't need the location of potholes or fancy tech to flag them, just send crews down any street that hasn't been resurfaced in the last 5 years and they'll find many craters every spring.

Gallery construction halted for budget review
51Well I can honestly say this is the smartest thing I've heard yet come out of this situation. Should have been done a long time ago because $75 million for an art gallery is absolutely ridiculous for this city. If this was Toronto I wouldn't question it but this is thunder Bay clearly this was somebody's dream to leave a legacy of some sort or something because something is definitely off here.

42Get rid of all paid staff and put out to tender to sell it off to the private sector. It’s a white elephant and it’s only going to cost the taxpayers more in the end.

PHOTOS: ‘We all needed that’: Striking workers picket Ford luncheon
36It’s funny to hear the union bosses complaining about the location and cost of Ford’s lunch. I guess he and his people should have had the luncheon at McDonald’s. Let’s see the invoices from the union officials when they have lunch / dinners paid by the hard working members. Not funny to see the workers on the picket line, but it is funny hearing the untruths from union heads

37This city is incapable of completing projects on time or on budget. I realize that it is not city run but it tracks with the city bus terminal, Chippawa Park Carrousel, stop light synchronization and the list goes on and on. Project will clearly cost more than 75 million to complete at this point. City needs to accept this reality and work with the province to convert this failed art gallery to a Science North. You could include the Northwest Sports Hall of Fame as well as the Thunder Bay Museum

38This project should have never been allowed to start. Are any of the board of directors today the same as they were when the project began - or did they simply turn it over to others to find how to solve an unsolvable problem? They bit off more than they could chew. The gallery on Confederation College premises is all that was needed in my humble view.

36This project should be halted to determine why this fiasco proceeded at all on this site. Why would the art gallery agree to pay all the costs of the environmental cleanup that turned out to cost $10 million. No tenant on the planet in their right mind would agree to that condition in the lease. But the art gallery board did. The other question is why the art gallery didn’t pause the project when they found out the true costs of the cleanup. The original estimate was $1.5 million for the cleanup. But $10 million? Someone should have said publicly, whoa, maybe we ought to forget this site, leave it fallow and clean it up over time using bioremediation. That would have been the cheaper, smarter option. Methinks, though, big egos pushed this disaster ahead.

13Seventeen years later, Jordan Staal wins another Stanley Cup. A multimillionaire gets another ring, a billionaire gets richer, and fans cheer like they own the team. The circle of hockey life.

33How do you honestly defend this purchase? It operates less than 20% of a calendar year, is high-maintenance, will barely last a decade, AND the company that built it is out of business.

LU still seeks money for Indigenous centre, now plans 2027 groundbreaking
31Why does it feel like we are moving more and more towards segregation? There are a lot of projects coming forward as well as existing structures that are promoting segregation. I understand the need to feel at home/comfortable or welcome, but it feels like we are moving backwards in some ways.

LU still seeks money for Indigenous centre, now plans 2027 groundbreaking
32Fair question, how does hide tanning have anything to do with a successful student in university? I'm just a little confused is this a course offered at the university or something is this a profession that is widely hiring right now? It sounds like some of this money could be better spent on better things. I think an indigenous center is a good idea especially if it includes everybody in the campus somehow and it shouldn't be kept away in a separate building I think it should be part of everybody and this way all students can be a part of it somehow whether they take a an elective course there or something like that. Self segregation thing is not a good idea.
