LETTER: Mayor's reckless comments are disheartening
TBNewsWatch
90Sorry, 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.

FWFN blindsided by Kakabeka generating station redevelopment
TBNewsWatch 72Why is it necessary to ask permission and get the blessing or have to consult with one group of people about everything???

Encampments, potholes discussed during Monday's at-large meeting
TBNewsWatch 56Let’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….

Why are we feeling so much pain at the pumps?
TBNewsWatch 46The 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.

Hours long discussion on designated encampment report at council
TBNewsWatch 55So 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?

LETTER: Trump won because economy failed the middle class
TBNewsWatch 27He 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.

New encampment guidelines to be ratified by city council
TBNewsWatch 38City is following the human rights approach on this. Just not the human rights of the taxpayer….

Sweet North Bakery closing one location
TBNewsWatch 41Not 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.

Council discussing designated encampment report
TBNewsWatch 48If these designated sites are not enforceable what is the point? This is only going to get worse as evidenced by the ever increasing size of the problem in just the last few years. Bylaw officers regulate every aspect of a taxpayers property, yet there's no rules for this? Doesnt make one bit of sense.

SIU clears Thunder Bay Police officers after man injures his face
TBNewsWatch 46And this folks is what our poor police officers have to put up with on a daily/nightly business. The fact that we can find anyone to do this job anymore is a miracle...let alone the personal legal and social consequences that always seem to factor in on every one of these occurrences.

Council opposes 114 Miles Street East site for the shelter village
TBNewsWatch 39Council made the right decision. Now clear out the encampments.

City recommends temporary village site, business owners aren’t happy
TBNewsWatch 40Since when did completely ignoring the very people who live, work, own businesses and pay taxes in an area become okay? The downtown Fort William area is almost a ghost town now because of past city mistakes...this one will finish it off.

LETTER: Mayor Boshcoff’s “feelings over facts” approach harms us all
TBNewsWatch 35Sorry I agreed with the overall sentiments of the mayors first letter. Your worried about feelings? How about the taxpayers feelings who have tomout up with this mess on a daily basis while nobody does anything about it.

New encampment guidelines to be ratified by city council
TBNewsWatch 39That's it???? Five metres from a railway or waterway. Thats the solution? Of course I'm sure this will not be enforced even if it was a viable solution to the problem which it clearly is not.

Pass options added to Marina Park paid parking plan
TBNewsWatch 28The city has a bad habit of nickel and diming everything to the point where they realize diminished returns in both revenue and users. Taxes should cover this. There is no need to charge parking for a public park that has already been created with tax dollars.

Council ratifies encampment action plan and temporary village
TBNewsWatch 33Big mistake. This will solve nothing. These people choose to live like this because they don't want to follow rules and structures living. You are going to have 100 structures built with little to no use and people still living wherever they want because they are allowed too. A feel good solution for some that will not solve the problem.

LCBO workers fighting to protect public revenue and "good jobs"
TBNewsWatch 26I always like when you go into the lcbo and you’re supposed to be impressed with their big sales on items. Like that 15 dollar bottle of wine is ONSALE!! With a whole dollar off the regular price. Wow. What a joke. Go into a privately run liquor store in the states and see the selection and more importantly the pricing. What we have here with this government run monopoly is laughable if not also sad.

City wants feedback on shelter village locations
TBNewsWatch 32None of the above. If I had a business in downtown Fort William (what’s left of it)….id be looking to get out now.
