The problem is that it cost too much for the tax payer to fund government home employment with each government employee home office equipped with electronic devises and services, year to year ("As of 2024 , 367,772 people were working for the federal public service in Canada.).If they want to work from home, they should consider themselves self employed and pay for their office essentials themselves and then write them off (as per Sq.. ft. they use in their homes for office space), of their income at the end of the tax year.I understand that it's a sweet gig at home, but in todays economy, food prices alone will send a family of four to the food bank.

Can you blame them?They didn't want to run under PP.

So he can charge us for dog food? So the general public can "shoplift" unless they get caught months later, they have to pay forward, no arrest?He stole from us.OPP used to be a respected institution, as was the mayors office, and the NBPS.You have each others back, not ours, and we all pay for you and your gold standards.Justice "self" served.We understand.

Not only did the Mayor and Council diminish the reputation of the City of North Bay, they also diminished the authenticity of the criminal system, the municipal political system, the police services of two different authorities (NBPS and OPP).Thank you Mr. Lowery and BAYTODAY.ca for stepping in and for helping the citizens of North Bay through this pathetic display of democratic disfunction on all fronts.Why was one person allowed to take up so much resources and time and expense, both monetary and reputational, when he should have been arrested, charged with theft over $5,000.00, and removed from office in the first place?Resign Chirico!

Hopefully it will help to pay for the detrimental effects that alcohol has on society, relationships, and the poor health of the people who become addicted to it.

Vrebosch are you going to be nominated to the board?We deserve to know why you have started the tuff war? What is the reason that the two councilors were removed in he first place.Because of "Bill Vrebosch"?Tuff wars, and living off the Tax Payer must run in the family?Meanwhile, are you still telling other cities to send their homeless here to continue your empire building? Mitchell? It keeps you two in business? No comment?You are the problem on many "turffs" imho, as chief thief pacifier?

"The shuttered programs include food and nutrition management, event planning, and hotel operations management." Leave this type of training to the employer.In this world economy, I would rather subsidize an education system that provides a higher paying, permanent skilled workforce; and the greater social and economic dividends that come with higher wages, and the housing stability that provides; then an education system based around lesser pay, non-permanent residence and the municipal planning and housing and food instability that this ensures.Also colleges and universities are not surrogate parents. They are places to attend higher education. Maybe it's time to bring back grade 13?

"NBMCA Board Chair Lana Mitchell did not respond to a request for comment, including questions about the appraisal and consultation process."Thank you Calvin Township!When you find out what is going on with our assets, can you please let the us know?The unaccountability and negligence is astounding over here in North Bay (The land of political cretons?).

"Their ignoring me and not even replying is harassment, according to the integrity commissioner,"So it's not just Everyone then?We all were starting to take it personally? Because this, that, and the other things are.The chickens are coming home to roost.That rabid fox on ski club, he's mad.

Let's break it down Mark, and stop calling it under one banner of "chronic homelessness".You need to examine the number closer, however for now let's just estimate that 50 of these people can occupy space with 3 room mates to provide shelter to themselves.174 of these people have inherently mental health related matters and need a provincial institution (even though many want to live on the street); And approx. 226 have addiction related matters (alcohol , drugs,...)? And they need to be dried out and reeducated, and apprenticed back into society in an institutionalized manner (unrelated to municipal Tax Payers); it's their choice.We are all adults here.People make bad choices.Let's start make good choices, and please get the drugs away from the high school.Under your watch Mark.If you want to solve the problem without the money and the greed that feeds off of these matters

Maybe the province should take over our city operations, and the OPP start laying charges.
