Pedestrian seriously injured in collision

TBNewsWatch

Almost every week some pedestrian gets hit by a car. How can adult people be so irresponsible for their own well being ? I see people every day just walking out into the streets without even looking. Do they feel that entitled and are pushing the " Pedestrians have the right away", beyond the original meaning ?

TBPS, MTO use drone in traffic enforcement blitz on Dawson Rd.

Here we go again with the pick on truckers campaign. Why would you specifically set up stings for specific items targeting trucks only ? So the drone spots a trucker following too close and they write him up. That's good the driver deserves it. Meanwhile, the drones also see passenger vehicles doing exactly the same thing but just ignore it. How bias is that ? This is giving a signal to drivers of cars that the rules don't really apply to you. I personally don't really want to be tail ended by a truck or a car, do you ?

As the old saying goes, " Looks like she ruffled the wrong feathers". She may lack a little in professionalism but I think she is honest and her heart is in the right place. Remember a mayor called Walter Assef ? People would say he's rude and crude but most of the people of Thunder Bay loved him.

Glad to hear it was turned down. I would like to see the whole plan totally dropped. It hasn't worked in the other cities so why waste the money on it here ?

Transport trucks were 'inches away from a devastating crash,' driver says

Good story by this driver. I understand the fear he has with these close calls. Only thing I don't agree with is his statement, need improved driver training. What took place in this situation isn't a lack of training thing. It is just plain disrespect for safety of others. You will not convince me that anyone that drives any kind of vehicle doesn't know it's not safe to pass where you can't see what's coming. No different than people texting while driving and impaired. All the training in the world won't help when people just disregard laws and safety for others.

By the comments so far from everyone they all feel the same as me. With all the issue that need to be dealt with this days, why put so much effort into this non-harmful issue ? Mean while I picture the schoolboard members in the courtroom wearing Chinese knock off clothing , perfume and purses.

Hard to believe that it takes 2 years to figure out what to charge a person with that was involved in a serious accident. I'm betting that it will take another 2 years for the courts to make a decision.

Members unhappy after 55 Plus Centre proposes raising activity fees

TBNewsWatch

There hasn't been any increase in 10 years. Now there is an increase and people are complaining ? If a person went to an event every day (highly unlikely) that would only be an additional $30.00 per month. These types of organizations such as legions have shut down or struggle to exists because of lack of support. I look at $1.00 increase as a half a cup of coffee at T. H. that most people don't even blink an eye to spend every day. If your money is that tight I would think a person would have a relative that could help you with that small of amount of cash for such a good cause.

Bad Idea. After others read this there will be a lot more not paying their rent taking advantage of the kindness . Actually a better word is enabling with taxpayers money.

There is a huge dog park a block away, the old railway line at the end of Winnipeg Ave. It's not a free run but if they shut the one down by the auditorium maybe they will make one there. Just for the records I hope they don't build that waste of money any way.

I think when people make claims of assault and other claims against the police and it is found to be false, they should be charged with giving false statements and given jail time. Not only do these cost us a lot of money but it must be hard on our police officers moral.
