I've continued to throw more and more money at bad investments in the past. "It's just another $20,000, it's just another $32,000, it's just another $64,000, it's just another $110,000 and we'll be up and running again". It's caused a whole lot of lost money and heartache. One thing that a bad investment has never done is earn me my money back. NEVER!Shut off the money tap NOW or this city will end up with another $40,000,000+ debt we can't afford from this! Realize it was a bad investment, swallow your pride, learn from your mistakes and move on. Don't keep sending dump trucks full of money into this inferno of a failed art gallery. This city made a "failure of Victoriaville" and it will make a failure of this art gallery too.I can't believe we're still blaming 2020's cold and flu season for inflation. It's been 5 years, time to move on from that old excuse. Also can I put my elbows down yet?

How does anyone thumbs down this comment? Goes to show you that Canadians love being taxed to the point of actually defending taxes. We don't even seem to care that the money is being completely mismanaged and thrown at causes to help fund our own downfall as a nation. I for one can't wait for WWI to be over so we can get rid of the temporary income tax.

Doubt it. Once Pierre has won, Legacy Media will turn him into Trump of the North. They will sensationalize and villainize everything he tries to accomplish to no end. Liberal Judges that have been installed over the past 10 years will attempt to overturn every decision. The Left will go after Pierre ruthlessly and violently. The political garbage has only just begun.

The Legacy Media polls lie, just like they did in the US for Kamala.

Hahaha, Tbnewswatch commenters with TDS not buying USA grapes and not visiting, imagining they're somehow hurting the US economy! YOUR Canadian government is sending $3.7 billion of YOUR tax dollars to the USA, buying military equipment. Your grapes and vacations made absolutely no difference at all, zero. Some of our new military equipment will possibly be finding it's way over to Ukraine, where their leadership is under investigation for corruption, but let's keep sending our tax dollars there along with another $235 million. I can't believe your Elbows are still Up! DJT is doing great for his country, wish I could say the same for our leadership. All we get here is zero deals, empty promises along with increased censorship and control.

Spend, Spend, Spend. $16,982 per camera? Where does council find these great deals? I hope we paid for at least 2 or 3 rounds of consultants to verify the information first. I also hope council will budget at least an extra $2 million on this program for cost overruns from staff shortages, cold and flu season, tariffs, climate change etc. you never know. Actually don't even worry about budgets! We can just increase tax rates and the budget will balance itself.

These things are horrible. Little to no traffic and the pedestrians always seem to wait there (drivers think they're just letting the vehicle go past first) then push the button when the vehicle is right at the line causing the driver to have to slam on the brakes. How about 10 seconds of warning to traffic after the pedestrian has pushed the button?

Exactly. Plus 30-50mm over a 12-16 hour period isn't much rain, why is this a "warning"? Climate alarmists.

Board it up and let it crumble. I have no intention of paying $5,000,0000 now, just so that I can be on the hook for another $23,000,000 next year. Guaranteed that $28,000,000 total will balloon another 50% to at least $42,000,000+ that this city can not afford because (insert excuse) "cold and flu season", "tariffs", "no one wants to work" affected supplies. One thing is for sure, we're not getting any more money from the feds or province so stop now while our heads are still above water. I can't swim at the moment as my elbows have been up so long waiting for an amazing trade deal. Something I've learned through trial and error is never keep throwing good money at bad investments. You might as well just throw your money into the wind. Stop as soon as you can.Municipal debt and increasing tax rates are not good contingency plans. Stop the bleed now and shut it down. Unnecessary expense that should have never been started.

That would be dangerous for the employees. Asking 16 year olds and temporary foreign workers to police the patrons and remove addicts from the dining area after 15 minutes would not go well.

Alice the terrible reaction and policies to that thing that happened in 2020 was 100% the liberals fault.

How about using it for lead water line replacement instead of making homeowners replace water lines that were signed off and approved by the city? Many other municipalities are going through their city neighbourhood by neighbourhood replacing all the lines at once instead of trying to push the responsibility on to individual homeowners. The city knows it's their responsibility, that's why they're providing the PUR water filters.

Licence Plate - calling for more censorship and control over words. How very liberal of you. Oh no, someone said something I don't like, I must make sure they are cancelled. I appreciate that Tbnewswatch allows for more discussion and sharing of differing opinions. I used to find that there was a bit too much censorship on Tbnewswatch. However, since Elon bought, what is now X, Tbnewswatch seems to be allowing more discussion from differing viewpoints, which is great.I do not find vet's comment to be at all disrespectful and maybe vet was just joking (cops and donuts has been a long standing joke as donut shops used to be the only thing open during the night shift so officers would often go there on break and for some officers that trend continues to this day) or maybe this is vet's actual opinion. Either way the comment was constructive and respectful. "I may not agree with what you say, but i will defend to the death your right to say it".

0 reason to keep throwing money at bad investments. Shut it down now, let it crumble. I'm not paying $28,000,000+ more for this thing that I'll probably never step foot in.

You want active drug use, drug paraphernalia, violence and intoxication running rampant right next to a high school, bike trail, swimming hole and public park? Great thing to make kids, teens and families have to deal with.

I can remember a time when every thunderstorm wasn't a "severe thunderstorm" watch or warning. The area is referred to as "Thunder Bay" for a reason, thunderstorms are nothing new around these parts. Climate alarmism at its best.

I will never forgive this health unit or our governments for the way they acted for 3 years. People were thrown out of society because they weren't sick. The government supported and created a 2 tiered society, turning family and friends against each other.
