'I'll never roll over': Ford and Trump both vow strength ahead of trade meeting
36You put a tax on hydro being sent to the States and then turned around and cancelled it. You vowed to not "roll over" in the face of American tariffs. It would be far better to think things through so you don’t have to back down and make everyone wonder about our leadership.

Laurentian Ski Hill subsidy of up to $100K passes with lone opposing Council vote
BayToday 24Transparency should be the only way we conduct business in North Bay when using public funds to support the organization. If you don’t want to report to the general public open your own private business and use your own funds. Thank you Tanya, “ 'I don’t agree with a third year of subsidizing the ski hill without providing some kind of report or something to the public,' Councillor Tanya Vrebosch stated during a recent meeting of Council.”

Near North board ordered to rebuild public confidence and provide accountable, transparent and effective governance
BayToday 17How much is this going to cost the taxpayers to correct the identified problems? It seems we have far too many wrong people in positions that are the draining the taxpayers. Why did it take so long for the Minister of Education to realize there was a problem in North Bay? What are the responsibilities of our appointed Ministers? Not enough checks and balances in place. Also, why is it that incompetent people keep getting positions that cost the taxpayers? We need full disclosure of spending for all government offices that are under the watch of a Minister including Crown Corporations. It would be interesting to see much is spent in legal fees for a start.

New trustees sworn in amid chaos and unanswered questions at NNDSB meeting
BayToday 16Time to investigate and review all Boards and all non-profit groups that receive donations, government funding transfers, or any other funding. A full review of mandates is required. Total transparency of all operations, meeting minutes, financial records, and spending must be posted for the general public’s best interest. Far too many dysfunctional news stories these days.

Canadore 'confident no students will be without housing'
BayToday 15Without question there needs to be adequate housing. Sad that this has to be a news headline. This should not have to be a news topic if management is doing their job or had done their job in the past. It is not about just collecting tuition.

Downtown churches struggling to help feed the needy
BayToday 14When wages and high salaries are being paid out and the public can see waste and abuse of a program they will donate to other causes. One organization that thrives on efficiencies, accountability and supports no waste or duplication is required. If you know who and why you are feeding someone there is a better chance that you can steer them in the right direction and truly make a difference in their life. Feeding someone and letting them go back on the street will never work. Accountability of the program and those accessing the program should be the number one priority.

Nearly half of students can't cover basics such as food and housing: TD poll
BayToday 13Awe………how do you think others got their education. Some could afford full time education, some could not, and some took part-time and worked. Please, we need to quit crying and buckle down. Open the jar of peanut butter and boil your pasta. Check your budget on how much you’re spending on eating out and technology. In saying this all institutions need to be fair with the actual cost of tuition. There should be no greed when it comes to giving our future and education. That should include what international students are having to pay.

NBPS addresses Mayor expenses inquiries
BayToday 13The trust is gone. Open the books on every non profit group in North Bay as well as our elected officials. We must start fresh to build trust in the City of North Bay. This truly not only hurts our rate payers, but the image of our community. Open and post the books for all groups receiving funding and donations. This is the only way to enforce honesty and integrity for those that are spending and approving expenses. What is the current policy for non profit groups in North Bay?
