Sorry, despite some possible inaccuracies that the mayor pointed out, the overall sentiments expressed by him were bang on and in agreement with what I would consider that mass majority of Thunder Bay citizens. The human rights approach is not working for anyone including the homeless.
I cancelled Arizona this year and I was quite happy to do it. Won’t be going back into the states anytime soon. Nits not just trump. Half the country voted for trump. Thats half too many for me.
Could not agree more. I can think of a few other “issues” where an entire industry has been built around supporting and maintaining rather than solving…..but mentioning them is usually not met well.
The bottom line is that no site is acceptable and this whole taxpayer funded project should be scrapped. There are plenty of empty buildings/rooms under DSSAB’s control that could be opened up. That’s the solution.
Let’s have that designated encampment across the street from Shelby’s residence. I’m sure her support for the human rights approach will diminish in a hurry….
The Carbon tax plus the added hst on the tax itself seems to be doing two things. Increasing the cost of fuel and inflation, while providing the government with more funds they can waste. What it's doing to save the planet is debatable.
So the question remains…why is this a three season problem? You do not see this occurring during the winter months. That would seem to indicate that most if not all of the homeless individuals do in fact have somewhere to go. If that’s the case…why is the city allowing the encampments ? Why not enforce existing bylaws and remove them?
He may have won.. but if anyone thinks he’s is capable or wants do anything about it…you’re sadly mistaken. He’s a narcissist and is only in this position for one reason. Himself.
Big mistake if this is ratified. It will contribute to the problem and not do anything to reduce the existing tent encampments. Quality of life and property values will tank in Fort William. Why bother with Victoriaville revitalization? People in this area are rightfully against this as would be the case if this was built in any other area of the city.
If you think this is bad. , think about the annual operating losses when or if it ever opens. And to think that the city turned down a brand new sports facility on the waterfront not so long ago which would have been a success and an economic driver for the downtown. The art gallery will never be that despite what the supporters say.
Not to mention the horrendous parking mess they made of court street. No spots to speak of on a tight narrow street. And you have to pay more for the parking than the coffee you're getting.
