We have an epidemic of homelessness in Thunder Bay: Krysowaty
TBNewsWatch
70So there are 557 homeless people, with the number expected to grow, but the 5 million dollar a year village we are building will only have 80-100 units? Obviously encampments aren’t going anywhere.

Homeless village draws mixed reaction at at-large town hall
TBNewsWatch 35The new city manager is shoving this down our throats. I am very surprised by some of the positive reception he has been receiving since taking over. All he’s done is spend money and insist we grow our population, meanwhile, a lack of housing is the reason we have so many people living in tents! We can’t take on more people until we get more affordable housing!

Council discussing designated encampment report
TBNewsWatch 46Read up on how Edmonton just handled their encampments. The human rights approach was forced upon them but was thrown out in court, and the city then went to town tearing down encampments. Over 50 of them. And guess what? The people living in them ended up in actual housing or shelters because their hand was forced. Tough love, but it worked. Stop enabling these people.

City council maintains five metre distance for encampments
TBNewsWatch 44Let’s just call it like it is. Wherever people want to camp is now a designated site. We have no power to tell them to leave. What a joke.

Trump's tariff threat 'an opening bargaining position,' Thunder Bay economist says
TBNewsWatch 28You’re not naive enough to think these drugs are not being produced within the US itself? The amount of illegal guns flowing into our country from the US is a bigger issue.

TBNewsWatch 34Guaranteed this will lead to some sort of charge in the end. It’s negligence at the very least.

80% of households receive more from the carbon tax than they pay: university professor
TBNewsWatch 18WiseOwl: you actually think Pollivere is any better? He’ll cut the carbon tax then stick it to you some other way. That’s why they all do. Sides don’t matter.

Shelter House client describes the challenges of being homeless
TBNewsWatch 27A sad story worthy of empathy, but she literally says she chose to be homeless. This isn’t going to foster much sympathy from the anti homeless camp.

City Manager planning 'one stop shop' for growth
TBNewsWatch 12All I hear are buzzwords and more money spent on a new department. Not impressed by this guy so far.

Students face strict cell phone rules when school returns
TBNewsWatch 24It’s not ridiculous actually. Teachers hands are completely tied nowadays by administrations that bow and cater to every demand made by parents. Somebody had to step in.

Encampments, potholes discussed during Monday's at-large meeting
TBNewsWatch 25People need to read up on the Waterloo decision. It doesn’t say we can’t evict encampers. It says we can’t evict them IF there is no shelter space, and I know for a fact that there is in this city. More than enough. Time to put our foot down.
