City is 'rushing through' shelter village process, says councilor
TBNewsWatch
74Most taxpaying citizens don't want this. We don't want to pay to house the people stealing from our yards, breaking into our vehicles and making are parks unusable. It's time council actually listened to the people paying the bill.

Gas tops $2 a litre in Thunder Bay
TBNewsWatch 49The Liberals canceled the consumer Carbon Tax, not the Carbon Tax on oil companies, which went up April 1st. The majority of the cost of gas is tax, much like the 60+% they steal from your cheque, they also steal that much on fuel tax. If you actually think about how much of your money the various levels of government get, you'll be sick. Most people pay close to 70% of their income to some form of taxation. That's theft and borderline slavery.

Tim Hortons outlet closes dining room to public
TBNewsWatch 51Regular people suffer because we condone addicts and criminals. Sad that the rest of us have to pay for these people, while at the same time being punished for their actions.

Ford government cancels Starlink deal, refuses to disclose cost to taxpayers
TBNewsWatch 14Ford, the Liberal disguised as a conservative. This is a colossal failure, a horrible decision. Just like a liberal.

Thunder Bay MPs tout new defence strategy as good for region
TBNewsWatch 22They also plan to reinforce our military with Soldiers from China and India. Anyone thinking that's good can't think clearly.

Deadline extended for evaluating designated encampment sites
TBNewsWatch 27Not sure why this council isn't listening to the tax base. Majority don't want this.

City house prices up nearly 14 per cent from a year ago
TBNewsWatch 17Elbows up!Everything is getting more expensive in Canada while all other G7 countries have their inflation under control. So what's the difference? We voted to re-elect the most destructive administration is history, multiple times.More pain is coming, mostly for the younger generations who so gleefully marched to the polls to elect their own doom.

Local emergency shelters say a lack of available beds is not the cause of unhoused this winter
TBNewsWatch 23As has been said previously, there's plenty of beds for the homeless, they just don't want to follow the rules in place.So, if there's already plenty of beds, why do we have to pay AND give up more space to build more? Maybe all those who advocate for it should open some rooms in their own home, or have shelters built on their property, at their expense.

Rollout of wheeled garbage carts begins in September
TBNewsWatch 6Most people in my neighborhood stopped recycling, on street parking and no room for the bins. Now they're gonna force it for garbage. Wasn't enough room on the street for recycling bins, as some houses are rentals with several or more bins, those same houses will get several or more garbage bins. You have to leave space in between the bins for the arms to grab it. There isn't enough street to accommodate all the bins, let alone bins AND residential on street parking. I suppose math is hard for the city planners.

A spring election 'won't be instigated by us,' Powlowski says
TBNewsWatch 10Canada has the highest inflation and lowest GDP of all G7 countries. Food is continuing to rise in Canada only. Carney wanted to be judged on food prices, well he's a colossal failure in that. His company is getting super rich though.

Motorists urged to continue following calendar parking
TBNewsWatch 13Nobody's been following it. Plenty of streets became hard to get through with cars parked on both sides all winter. Again, Nobody folows the rules anymore because there's no repercussions.

Thunder Bay tops violent crime chart in
TBNewsWatch 12Expected. Thunder Bay has been hurdling downhill for a couple decades. I'm sure they'll raise the levy again, citing how great it is to see addicts laying passed out on every block.

'I cannot even see my parents’ faces': Iran conflict affects local residents
TBNewsWatch 6The people of Iran clearly support the US and Israel in this endeavor. Liberals don't because they hate everything Trump and Israel. Their judgement is so skewed because they only have hate in their hearts for those who don't see the world the way they see it. A liberal only has tolerance for those who believe what they believe, everyone else can die an awful death for all they care. They really are the worst of humanity in history.

City identifies six potential sites for designated encampments
TBNewsWatch 13Again. There's already enough beds for them all, why are we giving them more land? Some of those locations are good parks, or right in someone's backyard like the McKellar and Vickers. Why do we pay taxes to have to look at that in our backyards or parks? These people shouldn't get to have land handed to them while the rest of us work and pay for ours. If we have to pay for them, then it should be an institution, and we get our streets and parks back. Everything is backwards. Punish the good and productive, reward the deviants and criminals.

New law makes landlords liable for drug activity, DSSAB awaiting clarity
TBNewsWatch 13Nobody will want to be a landlord, then. Only governments and municipalities will be. Maybe that's all part of their plan.Once you realize they hate you, everything they do makes sense.

City staff to update council on transportation
TBNewsWatch 9Why is there a pedestrian crossing at intercity on Fort William road when there's a crossing for it less than a block away in either direction? Is that good planning?

Shelter village will create a 'ghetto' in south core: Powlowski
TBNewsWatch 8Seems like the vasy majority are against this, so why are we still going ahead? Shouldn't council listen to the residents? Time to vote them all out, starting with Brian Hamilton.

City to get public feedback on community safety and well-being
TBNewsWatch 2Maybe because Port Arthur gets all the tax dollars allocated to it and has way less safety issues than Fort William.Also, if you read, it all culminates in PA at the Auditorium.

Nearby businesses 'blindsided' by shelter village decision
TBNewsWatch 7This administration doesn't care what you think, or want. They just want YOUR money, so they can do what they want. They ALL must be voted out.

Lawsuit over cancelled basic income project moves forward
TBNewsWatch 8You mean to tell me the people who wanted free money are suing for even more free money? Shocking. Let's just have the over burdened tax base pay for more useless stuff.
