Price of Pierre too expensive for Canadians, says NDP's Singh
TBNewsWatch
58Pierre doesn't wear a Rolex Jagmeet and many of us in Ontario remember the NDP days of Bob Rae. Where do you get off telling us that Conservatives are 'more expensive?'Not that his high and mighty self will read this.

Wildfire smoke leads to air quality alert for Thunder Bay
TBNewsWatch 2Well a quick check on the front porch says it smells like a dump fire and the flag at the school says the wind is from the ENE. Windy.com confirms that for the region. So, either the prairies are NE of us and filled with plastic and waste food, or a nearby dump is on fire. Occam's razor. Anyone call the Shunia landfill to check?

Crown Street home destroyed in fire
TBNewsWatch 22I hope nobody was hurt.I really despise the hundreds of people who decided to drive to Hillcrest to rubberneck at some other family's despair. Pedestrians blocked traffic on Hill Street. I was returning from dropping my kids off at the movies and it took me 20 minutes to get from Oliver road to the crest of the hill. All because you wanted to get a good view of other's troubles. Total small town disease right there.

City council ratifies $42 million indoor turf facility decision
TBNewsWatch 20So can I write an sworn affidavit stating that none of my family will ever use this facility, will I get a refund on my taxes? Who am I kidding? So we pay for the '6000' who will use the facility. Let them pay for it.

Have you seen any jewelry stolen from Finnport?
TBNewsWatch 21I guess that it didn't occur to anyone associated with this story that maybe a few photos of this unique style of jewellery and the green boxes might help? Lots of jewellery comes in green boxes.

Wildfire smoke leads to air quality alert for Thunder Bay
TBNewsWatch 4Well apparently with all of this negativity, I'm wrong and the prairies are indeed full of old plastic and garbage. Either that or those who disagree have never smelled a forest fire.

TBNewsWatch 15I was going to respond to your question of, "How long is 'temporary'" with some educated views from my world travels, but decided to leave it with a simple thumbs up.Some people just don't like to hear hard truths.

CEDC promotes 'Work from Thunder Bay' in major Canadian cities
TBNewsWatch 8Just keep in mind before you move here that while your mortgage payments will go down, your property tax will likely double. That's tied to rent too. Just saying.

More skilled immigrant workers should live in the North: chamber
TBNewsWatch 9I have a better idea. Why don't we go back to the system we had in the '50s where Canadian companies provided the Government with a list of people they need. Then the Government would line up a person WITH THE REQUIRED SKILLS

More skilled immigrant workers should live in the North: chamber
TBNewsWatch 10oops I hit enter :). Anyway, you know where I was going with this. That person, and their family would be given a train ticket to the town closest to their employment post. Not to the nearest metropolitan area where they can fall into a group of their fellow immigrants and never have to learn either official language.

Mayor feels human rights approach to homelessness isn’t working
TBNewsWatch 4We all can clearly see that "safe supply" simply encourages encampments within walking distance of supply sites. They do little to solve the addiction problem by making it easier to score clean drugs. Maybe it's time for the many Northern Communities to become more involved with solving the real issue of addiction.
