Circle K reports more than $200,000 in losses from crime in Thunder Bay
TBNewsWatch
51What does the ratio of loss to overall sales got to do with it? This is implying that some level of theft is acceptable. It's not, especially if the company has spent over $600K to increase security and are still experiencing the losses they state.Letting it go on like that is only encouraging more theft, where it becomes acceptable to steal. It's not.

'Really severe' incident leaves Brodie Street library staff member shaken up
TBNewsWatch 48I have heard from Library staff that it's disgusting at times the behaviour of some "patrons" of the Library, particularly at the Brodie St. branch. There is no place in a library for anyone who is not actually there to use and/or borrow library materials. They are not "drop-in" centres and anyone abusing their library privileges needs to be told to leave and if necessary physically removed and told not to come back to that or any branch of the library.

Councillors say yes in final decision on shelter village site
TBNewsWatch 46So, $7M in the first year. Well, isn't that special. I wonder how many takers there will be with all the rules that appear to be attached to "residency" in this so-called village, and what the actual effect there will be on the trashing of our parks and greenspaces. I don't see this ending well, at least from the perspective of the taxpaying residents of our once fair city.Before anyone comments that we are getting $2.8M from the Province, that's still taxpayer money.

TBNewsWatch 46Attempt to disarm a police officer could receive the same penalty as assault on a police officer, maximum 5-years. Both should have higher maximums.

Cumberland St. roundabout project expanded to include streetscaping and other work
TBNewsWatch 38Please, no bumpouts. If the intention of a roundabout is to streamline traffic flow, why mess it up with bumpouts? They just uneccesarily complicate everything, including the efficient removal of snow.

'Incredibly alarming' case of impaired driving reported by police
TBNewsWatch 34Thank you, TBPS. Stay safe and let's hope next year is better than 2024. I may be preaching to the choir, buy here goes, "If you are going to drink or do drugs, please don't drive. The life you save may be your own!"

Pair of novice drivers nabbed for racing, driving intoxicated
TBNewsWatch 36Nothing like making a bad situation worse and attracting the attention of the police while doing so. I would hate to see what their vehicle insurance will cost. Stupid is as stupid does. Thank you to the TBPS.

City to appoint a weed inspector
TBNewsWatch 32Let's see how this plays out, likely to be as poorly enforced as just about every other property related by-law, e.g. snow clearing, vacant property maintenance...

Opening of bike lanes delayed
TBNewsWatch 13OH NO! The humanity! Maybe we could spend our hard earned tax dollars on things that would actually matter to 99 percent of taxpayers. When you see cyclists biking on the sidewalk beside a bike lane.......

OPP pulled a tractor-trailer off the road
TBNewsWatch 28I often disagree with comments advocating overly severe penalties which are generally knee-jerk reactions to news of criminal activity; however, in this case of such blatant disregard of so many different laws, I totally agree. The company and driver need to be severely punished, not only for their activity but to set an example. Unbelievable!

OPP lay stunt driving charge against driver caught doing donuts
TBNewsWatch 24People who think the police should not be investigating such would probably be the first to complain if the accused had damaged their property. I doubt that the investigation took them away from "more important crimes." The accused should not be on the road, period! If he keeps it up he will find himself in deeper and deeper trouble; hopefully he never injures someone.

Vandals attack new playground at Vickers Park
TBNewsWatch 23In this day and age and considering the amount of such vandalism, would it not be cost effective to have cameras at all locations where this is a perennial problem? Also, the cretins doing this need to be made to pay for the cost of the repairs. Never mind moaning about how disheartening it is, do something to reduce it!
