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.

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.

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.

City house prices up nearly 14 per cent from a year ago
TBNewsWatch 16Elbows 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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?

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.

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.

We ‘cannot compel people to move,’ says city staff
TBNewsWatch 5How about NO. You're using taxpayer money when the majority of municipal tax payers are against this. What happens if we decided not to pay taxes? If the addicts and bums can legally squat, so can we. Right?

'Backed into a corner': Councillors object to shelter village decision process
TBNewsWatch 3Not a single one of these councilors should be reelected. Many have been there for years, overseeing the destruction of our city while continually raising the levy. This agenda is getting pushed through, by them, without consulting the base they so heavily tax. Best we can do is vote them out, but we also need good, logical people to run. If that's you, you should consider running for your ward.

Marina overpass to close as roundabout construction starts
TBNewsWatch 1I see more lights being put up when we should be removing them from main arteries. Why is there a light at Wendys on memorial? There really should be no lights at 3 way stops. This city contradicts itself with every other action/comment.
1- Derek Powell
City staff to update council on transportation
TBNewsWatch"Driveable" is anti green agenda. You're absolutely right about the redundancy of these lights. You pretty put most 3 way lights or lights close together in that group. Our roads are awful, seems less attention is paid to them despite the amount of vehicles in the city drastically increasing over the last 5-7 years. This council continually refuses to listen to people who pay them and fund the city. They seem intent on doing what they want, rather than what we want. Good post.

'We're here to be accountable': says councillor of shelter village site selection
TBNewsWatchThe people who ruin society are the protected class. Actual useful taxpayers, nope. We get to pay to park in parks we already pay for. We get to pay to house the people who break into our vehicles, steal from our yards, and vandalize our homes. Our society has it backwards
