Motorists charged for failing to move over for emergency vehicles
TBNewsWatch 45Boo hoo hoo if you were following the rules then there is nothing to worry about is there. They got pulled over BECAUSE they can’t follow simple rules that apply to all of us. You know like you can’t drink and drive , you can’t pass on a corner , you can’t pass a school bus when it’s pulled over has the arm down and lights are flashing , you can’t run a red light , you can’t do 40 km per hour over the speed limit and you MUST pull over for emergency vehicles when the lights and sirens are on. So many people think they are special and the rules don’t apply to them that is why there is so much carnage on our highways and road.

NAN responds to charges against former Thunder Bay police members
TBNewsWatch 44Do the charges against the ex-chief of police and the board lawyer have anything to do with these tragic deaths or are the charges about something else? It seems as if the new chief and the chair of the board are taking this matter seriously. Yes there are trust issues but building of trust will not happen in a day it will take time and the new chief seem to be on a better path.Disbanding the service is not the answer as 99% of the new police will be former Thunder Bay police officers . They are having a hard time recruiting police as it is. Continuing education, holding people accountable for their actions and ensuring every tragic death is investigated thoroughly. The senior police officers need to hold those they supervise accountable , this starts from the chief down. If the investigation is substandard then send the investigation officers back out or remove them from the case and assign other officials and send the original offices back for more education.

LETTER: Mayor's reckless comments are disheartening
TBNewsWatch 9Bubba he stepped back his comment because he was wrong. As a representative of our city he should be held to a higher standard as Rajni Agarwal was when she had her troubles a few months ago. People were quick to judge and hang her out to dry. The same people that wanted her to resign are now saying boshcoff can say what he wants? To say 1000’s are coming here is as bad as saying the Mexicans are paying for trumps wall. A lie is a lie is lie. Double standard much ? Boshcoff does not speak for me or many other people I know.

First Nations say governments should give fewer subsidies to fossil fuels and far more to nature-based climate solutions
TBNewsWatch 101) I didn’t read anywhere where they said their way was the ONLY way?2] We are not doing a good job of fighting climate change , we are killing the earth because of money and not thinking about future generations. In my 60 plus years this is not the same climate we had , you only need to watch the world news to see how devastating environmental disaster are. . So how would it hurt to LISTEN about other possible solutions ? 3) Or do we just wait until it’s too late and there is nothing left.

LCBO workers fighting to protect public revenue and "good jobs"
TBNewsWatch 20If the LCBO makes record profits that money goes back into Ontario”s pockets. This is not a private company like grocery or gas companies. They make money for Ontario , lots of money 2.5 billion a year and Ford wants to eliminate that for short term gain. Tell me another Provincially ran organization that brings in that kind of money? People foolishly believe that the price of booze will drop , it won’t drop until the provincial government drops the taxes on booze.

LCBO workers fighting to protect public revenue and "good jobs"
TBNewsWatch 15Really so people in Canada should all make minimum wage and you honestly think prices will drop ? The North American free trade agreement was supposed to make prices drop. Having goods produced in third world countries was supposed to make prices drop . Companies buy tee shirts for pennies and sell them for the same price or more as always. The reason and the only reason prices are so high is CORPORATE GREED. We will see if Pierre Poilievre gets in and axes the carbon tax then all the prices in Canada should drop as it’s the carbon tax that everyone blames for high prices. The prices will not drop on groceries or gas as these greedy companies are now making record profits and they will not give that up. There is no one in the world Johnathan that can’t be replaced no matter what job they are doing .

First Nations say governments should give fewer subsidies to fossil fuels and far more to nature-based climate solutions
TBNewsWatch 3We give money (taxes) to people that don’t lead every day. They lead the high life, they ignore public sentiment and do as they please. It was past governments got us into this mess by lying and cheating and not abiding by LEGAL agreements that were signed by them the government and now we are paying for their mistakes. First Nations want to work with other investors to help fight climate change, I don’t see that as a bad thing as what we are doing now isn’t working . Don’t let the colour of your skin cloud your thinking.

LCBO workers fighting to protect public revenue and "good jobs"
TBNewsWatch 13Walter how does the CEO of OPG deserve the wage he gets ? No one else can do his job? How does the labourers at OPG deserve to make over 100,000 a year and they can be replaced? The money the LCBO employees make is spent in Thunder Bay . If they make minimum wage then they will not have the buying power to buy cars , homes , etc in Thunder Bay . The LCBO and their employees bring in 2.5 billion dollars for Ontario . No other government ran entity does that . Let’s put it in corner stores and let companies pay their employees minimum wage because that’s what we really need is more minimum wage jobs. If you think the price of booze will drop you are sadly mistaken. It will not drop until there is no LCBO period. Ford will not do that as they bring in an irreplaceable amount of money for the Ontario government, 2.5 billion a year. He may be a fool but he’s not that stupid.

Concerned driver saved Thunder Bay woman's life
TBNewsWatch 6So the transport driver is not at fault for running a red light? We should all sit at a green light and look both ways including across from us to ensure the person isn’t turning even though their indicator light isn’t on?

Shooting incident sends one person to hospital
TBNewsWatch 24The only way to stop illegal hand guns would be to stop every car crossing from the USA into Canada and do a thorough search and to ban 3D printers. Of course that won’t happen and it doesn’t make sense but most illegal guns are either stolen or brought in from the USA . Do you propose we do nothing and embrace guns like the gun loving Americans that accept mass shootings as a way of life and think the answer is to arm teachers with guns …..until one snaps and has a whole classroom of victims but they could arm all the kids with guns? It’s still legal to own handguns in Canada you just can’t own an assault type weapon. But we’ve been through this before , look up the types of guns that are banned.

$1M donation being made to the art gallery
TBNewsWatch 24With the latest contribution, the project has raised a total of $49.8 million dollars so far toward the Thunder Bay Art Gallery's new structure, with $35.7 coming from the federal government, $5.7 million coming from the Province of Ontario, $5.7 million from the City of Thunder Bay, and $2.7 million from community ...Jun 30, 2022So 5.7 million for a new art gallery seems pretty cheap . If you don’t like art don’t go . Yes Taxesupagain it might cost a extra few pennys in taxes , I’m sure no more than the 55 plus centres that you never complain about? I’ll never use the 55 plus centres , do I think they should be sold and ran privately ? No absolutely not because it benefits the community, see that what taxes are for, not just for what I want , it’s not about me it’s about everyone . Want cheap taxes , lots of small towns around here with cheaper taxes . I’m sure they will welcome you with open arms .

Brayden Bushby’s day parole revoked
TBNewsWatch 31After the war, the confederate flag was adopted as a symbol of Southern heritage at the same time as it represented slavery and white supremacy. Maybe it’s all part of his terrible attitude and shows he has not changed his ways . He strongly believes the colour of his skin makes him better. He shows no remorse for killing an innocent person. He got a confederate flag tattoo when he is definitely not from the south and that speaks volumes about the type of person he is and his character and what he believes.

FWFN blindsided by Kakabeka generating station redevelopment
TBNewsWatch 6Actually you can thank all of the Canadian governments since the beginning. Had they just paid the original money that was legally owed instead of try to steal and offer beads and blankets we wouldn’t be in this mess. Legally being the key word here. But like most people here on this site, if the Canadian government owed them billions they would just let it go so I guess the First Nations should do the same .

City wants feedback on shelter village locations
TBNewsWatch 9Maybe they are escaping from their family because of mental, physical or sexual abuse, ever think of that . Addiction is a disease it’s not a lifestyle. Mental health is a lifestyle? Man you need to educate yourself. Mental health, addiction, homelessness can happen to anyone of us , you’re not so special that it couldn’t happen to you, don’t fool yourself. Just when I think the comments can’t get any worst there is always someone that proves me wrong, congratulations. It’s better to keep quiet and have people think you’re dim witted than to open your mouth and remove all doubts .
