BB K...Trump is a liar, fraud, grifter, liar, rapist, moron, liar, racist, numerous bankruptcies, tax evader, liar...how on earth does that add up to "proven leader"
Enough...let's get this done...the existing rinks (not including the Gardens) are falling apart, permanently closed, well under the standard ice surface size...we need these facilities.
Good!! The bigots are too often the only people we hear. These people are hard working, bright, polite, and only want to have a better life. They are PERFECT Canadians as far as I am concerned. And frankly after the horrible service I am getting from local contractors and building suppliers while trying to do a renovations on my house, North Bay NEEDS some competition for consumer dollars.
I worry more about the clerks and robberies...Someone has to, the corporations that own most of these stores won't care about anything but their profit.
They don't care one bit about anything except themselves...unions must think we are all gullible when they make statements like this. I guess when they are running out of ways to justify these gold plated jobs, they end up grasping for straws.
Hogger...the shame is, moving forward was always going to happen for one simple reason, we need this...so every time Lowery and his pack stopped this, the millions continued to add up. People who truly care about North Bay saw the need...slum lords and investment landlords, never saw beyond the tax bill. Recreational facilities are part of the equation for a healthy community...greed is not part of that equation.
I have to stop doing this...and BTW, when you pay a tip this way, the credit card company/bank help themselves to their regular fee...so if you think TD Bank deserves a tip for your hamburger, keep adding 15% for 30 seconds of service.
Build it...the chronic complainers wouldn't be happy if the price was $125.00...we have ONE proper sized ice surface and 2 of 3 arenas are falling apart under their own weight.
A bad decision made by people more concerned with politics than schools...this says more about this dysfunctional board than the school name. This change was clearly NOT wanted, yet they pushed the change through.
Then these cheap, low quality, cars end up in our landfills...and the toxic waste our problem...just like ALL the low end, throw away, Chinese products that we are left to figure out what to do with.
Sure...nothing to do with the campaign...just random people devoting hundreds of hours and expense with no actual motive in mind. More from the Trump playbook of cheat and lie.
Good...do it...if we let the naysayers get control of everything we would be still driving on gravel roads and have a horse drawn fire wagon. Yes we need to spend money on social and welfare projects, but there must be a balance...and recreational facilities are part of that balance.
Here's an idea...get rid of 50 useless bureaucrats ( from all levels of government) and direct that money to help people who are honestly in bad shape. We have so much bloated, useless, lazy, worthless bureaucracy ...50 people let go would likely pay for luxury apartments for all these people.
The police will put in a ton of effort...people will come forward to try and help...they'll catch horrible people...and the courts will turn them loose with a stern talking to. I wonder why we even try anymore.
At some point everyone has to start focusing on the future...this is done, and it was terrible, and lessons have been learned, institutions held accountable, apologies made, compensation paid ...but there is no future in living in the past.
