'Backed into a corner': Councillors object to shelter village decision process
TBNewsWatch
51How about the taxpayers....? They are the one's really backed into a corner they're footing the bill for this project that has little to no support. Perhaps they should scrap the entire concept!

Miles Street moved forward as temporary village site
TBNewsWatch 42The City Counslers that voted in favor of this should be ashamed of themselves! Start listening to the taxpayers, business owners and residents!I've said it many times before.....start respecting the taxpayer and enforce our City by-laws.

LETTER: Encampment enforcement needed now
TBNewsWatch 41Absolutely!.....Mr. Gagne is without a doubt correct on this issue. Time to stop enabled and apply our laws and by-laws equally to all people without exception.

Miles Street site resurrected as location for temporary shelter village
TBNewsWatch 33Give it up....there is no community support for this anywhere in the City! What a waste of taxpayer$$$.

Shelter Village expected to open this spring
TBNewsWatch 31Lets all of us taxpayers go down and celebrate the waste of our tax dollars at the grand opening!

City council maintains five metre distance for encampments
TBNewsWatch 35We have to stop this nonsense....allowing city administration to let these people destroy our parks, render our trails and sidewalks unusable, and denagrade our neighborhoods is complete disgrace. It's time to defeund Elevate NW and clean out City Hall of anyone promoting their woke agenda! RESPECT the taxpayers of Thunder Bay.

Councillors say yes in final decision on shelter village site
TBNewsWatch 30Why not have a plebesite on this issue....asking the taxpayer?.....if they are in favour of taxpayers dollars being spent on this temporary nonsense. My guess is City Administration/Council doesn't want the answer they all know will be a resounding NO!Respect the taxpayer!

City releases design images of proposed temporary village
TBNewsWatch 28At some point City Council should realize that they have minimal, if any taxpayer support for this lunacy!.....once again the inmates are in charge of the asylum!

City issues request for shelter village manager and operator
TBNewsWatch 26This should be a side show at the Cirsus!...with no public support for this why is it going forward. We need a Council and City Administration that respects the taxpayer! This money should be going into fixing our crumbling infrastructure, not adding to it!

Compassion for homeless underway 'with few resources'
TBNewsWatch 25Bla bla bla...yes yes yes.....let's just keep funding addiction vis a visa enabling....NOT!

'Two more weeks of anxiety': Shelter village site remains in limbo
TBNewsWatch 23No worries the province will extend...this $2.5 million will be a drop on the bucket as far as the total expense of this project. This is simply the province downloading their responsibilities onto the municipalities....and some take the bait!..the city has no mandate to be in the housing business! Again, the taxpayers do not support this project, stop debating and abandon the concept all together!

We ‘cannot compel people to move,’ says city staff
TBNewsWatch 21What part of the word NO!, does City Administration fail to understand? Administration needs to follow Council's orders not the reverse. Get with the program!

LETTER: Miles Street and the accountability gap
TBNewsWatch 14They take pride in their work when they get the outcome that they want!....City Administration needs a lesson in hierarchy and who pays the bills, namely the taxpayer. The lack of regard afforded business owners and residents is a disgrace!

How should homelessness be addressed? The DSSAB wants your thoughts
TBNewsWatch 15Stop the enabling and start the enforcement of our existing By-laws which address overnight camping. Perhaps if we make it less accommadative to inviduals in Encampments then people would be less likely to choose this life style. This would possibly correct the problem without spending millions of taxpayer dolllar$ on temporary shelters...on a hope or maybe strategy that so far elsewhere has failed to yield any meaningful results.

Mayor feels human rights approach to homelessness isn’t working
TBNewsWatch 15The Mayor is absolutely correct...the current Humanitarian approach is not working. The City including Bylaw Enforcement have to quit enabling the homeless. Time to respect the taxpayer......let's take our parks and rivers back.

City is 'rushing through' shelter village process, says councilor
TBNewsWatch 12Mr. Benz is absolutely correct!.....other counselors and the Mayor should take heed. This project has very little public support. City Administration needs to be put in their proper place in the hierarchy, and not telling City Council what to do.

Previously dismissed, Kam River now recommended for shelter village site
TBNewsWatch 14The City has no mandate to be in the housing business, that is Dsab's job. City council has to start listening to and respect the taxpayer. Let's purge City Administration of all the ENABLER'S. Stop providing the infrastructure and start the enforcement of our By-laws!

Council ratifies encampment action plan and temporary village
TBNewsWatch 12More enabling!

City considering $4 million for temporary shelter village
TBNewsWatch 11Yes let's call the temporary structures "Enablement Avenue" 1, 2 and 3! Perhaps we can advertise across the country see if we can get the numbers up to 500!...Lunacy as usual from our City administration Encapment gurus!

Back to the drawing board? Council to vote on scraping shelter village site
TBNewsWatch 9Could this have something to do with the legal action that area businesses are pursuing?.....i guess YES!.....Scrap the entire idea...and fire anyone in Administration that is responsible for this nonsense...There is no taxpayer support for this concept, and that's business and residential. Respect the taxpayer!
