Local Iranian residents rally for international support
TBNewsWatch
32I don't see anywhere in the article where the protesters ask for money to be sent to Iran. In fact, their argument is the with more freedom in their homeland, they would go back. That idea should please all the anti-imigration keyboard politicos sitting in their basements.

'Significant find:' arrowhead discovered near Baseball Central
TBNewsWatch 15So this is the first time in four years that they have found anything. That indicates that their stage 1 surveys have not been very effective. Sounds like a huge waste of effort.

Citizens stand up for Canada at the Hands Off rally
TBNewsWatch 6It looks to me like Carney managed to shut Trumps mouth. I haven't heard 51st state since they spoke. That's the type of strong leader I would support as opposed to a Trump parrot!

FOI reveals contract details for retired NOSM dean, region’s top-paid public servant
TBNewsWatch 9Unfortunately this is common practice with administrative staff in government. For example, while the college cries poor, it always pays top administrators staff a full year of salary after they retire. They also spend a lot of.money topping up pensions for admin staff that make more that the max allowed for under CPP and other pension limits

City governance review puts anti-racism committee on the chopping block
TBNewsWatch 5This is yet another attempt to isolate council from the opinion of the voter. For example, when you provide written comment on a zoning proposal, that info no longer gets into the report to council. Rather, admin "summarizes" your input which allows them to skew your position in their favour.When did we decide to let unelected administrative personnel control our city?

LETTER: Nuclear waste and science-phobic groups go hand in hand
TBNewsWatch 3"What you see depends on how you look". It's called perspective. From a risk assessment point of view, the "acceptability" of a risk depends upon your perspective and whether you voluntarily assume a risk or whether it is forced upon you.Take the example of second hand smoke. If you are smoker who hangs out in smokey bars, second hand smoke is an acceptable risk. If you are a non-smoker who works waiting tables in that bar to put a roof over your head - not so much.As a resident of Thunder Bay who sees very, very little potential personal benefit from the transportation and storage of nuclear waste through and in this region, the risk is not acceptable to me.

MNR investigates incident at a public boat launch
TBNewsWatch 2Sorry Goofball. Don't assume the first 20 feet is crown land! That varies by location.People make the same assumptions about Hydro lines. In MANY cases, that is private property and Hydro simply has a lease to allow access for THEIR employees only! People should also know that under the Trespass Act, the owner of the property or their agent has the right to arrest you for trespassing. By the way - there is NO need to post No Trespassing signs!
