Singh calls for lower cost for groceries
TBNewsWatch
34One thing the NDP/Liberal type of thinking is said to be good at , is pushing the working middle class down into the poverty range.

TBNewsWatch 38Are any of the many FN office buildings around town able to spare up some space for their own members ?

First Nations say governments should give fewer subsidies to fossil fuels and far more to nature-based climate solutions
TBNewsWatch 34"Stop industry" ? Do you realize how quick the honeypot will dry up ?No forestry, no mining, no manufacturing, reduced power , oil and gas , shipping ,, ?Does not sound like a good plan. Doubly so near the tail end of this last 9 years. We need exactly the opposite so that everyone can keep food on the table, power and heat on, and to give people jobs so they have a sense of participating (which builds a country).

Over 100 people are still living in tents this winter
TBNewsWatch 38Heard that on the radio too.. that some homeless are turning down shelter because they cant have visitors or guests stay over.Strange situation to be picky about.Isn't this about surviving ?

Over 100 people are still living in tents this winter
TBNewsWatch 35I suspect the thinking is.. a soccer facility (or a marina etc) attracts new taxpayers to the city. Housing the homeless attracts more non-taxpayers to the city.

LETTER: Trump won because economy failed the middle class
TBNewsWatch 27Im not sure that's the only reason Ross.Could we not also say people voted for Harris because the promise of sunny ways and a better economy was touted as a policy of Harris ? Maybe it's more about which leader/party that they feel is believable.Massively outbalanced campaign spending and all the MSM behind her saying she's the most believable, best choice... and she still lost by a large amount. I think the whole deal displays two things - people dont trust the "left" when they say that today's Dem (or Lib) policy is a better choice, and they dont trust the MSM that sing from the same songbook. In less than a year, we'll have the same thing play out here. People are finally fed up with the baloney. (there's a ton of other reasons too , but I'll stop here)

Citizens stand up for Canada at the Hands Off rally
TBNewsWatch 19Funny how people can be whipped up with misinformation.Trump isnt going to invade Canada. He has an idea (which i think is wrong) that a much more protectionist version of american trade is better for his country. This will hurt Canada, so he's saying hey, if Canada wants to join US then they dont have to worry about this new approach as they wont be "outside". We should stay out of it, and take our lumps. Its unfortunate that Canada under the Libs didnt promote more energy trade with other areas of the world.. they asked and we said no. Carney is Trudeau magnified in this respect.Prepare for some rough times, unless we get a change in govt. Well, it will still be rough, but at least we'll start turning things around instead of continuing into the abyss.

Council to contemplate designated truck route bylaw, again
TBNewsWatch 26King's Highway 102.The city could do it's part and reduce the speed limit to say 60k out to the city limit, and then request that the province reduce it's speed limit on the remainder to 70k. It would be a bad decision to force *all* truck traffic onto the Expressway crossings at Red River, John, and Oliver. Fatalities would increase.The real root problem is the drivers. Aggressive, dangerous, and inattentive driving is not something that only happens on 102.

Only 'select pieces' of historic James Whalen tug may be preserved
TBNewsWatch 29Of course it should be on land down by the Henry, as a historical item.The expensive part of removing it out of the river is done. Easier now to crane it onto a barge and then crane it into a hole (depth to match the normal draft) somewhere near the Henry.Visitors think of this as "The Lakehead", the top of the Great Lakes. I mean really... are they penny wise and pound foolish ?

Concerned driver saved Thunder Bay woman's life
TBNewsWatch 26Seems to be an aspect missing here.Why did a transport blow thru a red light at full speed ?What we have is a transport driver with a complete lack of concern for human life and/or an inability to properly operate what he/she has been permitted to drive. This will continue unless we keep the pressure up on politicians to enforce regulations.

Ryden's denies reports of vandalism targeting Canadians in northern Minnesota
TBNewsWatch 17They could add "Please dont call us if you've had a normal or positive experience".Typical action from today's "media".

Trump’s tariffs the most important election issue: poll
TBNewsWatch 16No concept at all about how we got to where we are currently. Hint - things were bad here before Trump was elected . We could have made more deals to sell gas/oil to other countries, but no.. climate alarmists chose not to. We could have minerals to sell, but no.. alarmists chose to support procrastination. Now we're going to hire an eco-warrier ?People better get used to having less money, less food, less heat, less housing. As things get even tighter, expect more crime and drug use. Brilliant plan.

Trucker charged with careless driving on Highway 11/
TBNewsWatch 25Thank you OPP. Now hopefuly some of those charges don't get waived, and there is an appropriate penalty for putting lives at risk. Removal of commercial rating would work for me.

Northern Ontario casino operator in a big hole
TBNewsWatch 21Remember when cheerleaders said busses hauling people here from out of town would have a hard time finding parking ? I've only been in a few times, dropped a coupla hundred total. When you look around, all you see is glum faces. Good times lol.
