Tribunal refuses landlord's request to evict a tenant
TBNewsWatch
21The owner failed to show his intention of occupying the unit. Very straightforward case but a waste of time and taxpayers money.

'It's part of our democracy': Protesters take aim at Trump-like politics
TBNewsWatch 26The fight against the far right is as important as things can be in our times. Anyone who thinks this is a waste of time should think again. The keyboard critics likely are the ones who stay at home most times. WW2 vets fought against fascism, now in some countries, it seems to be a crime to be 'antifa'/anti fascist.

Muslim Association withdraws its Junot Park proposal
TBNewsWatch 36This had nothing to do with respect for Muslims, it does have everything to do with imprper planning from city administration.

Resident alarmed at encampment fire flames '5 or 6 feet high'
TBNewsWatch 37I recently walked through that trail. I spoke with a tenter who was on his way to work. As much as one can empathize with the homeless situation, this is a serious public safety issue.

TBNewsWatch 25Jenn: actually, under the law, if presented as such, then yes, it is.

TBNewsWatch 7As usual, all the nay sayers are out in full force on this site. Perhaps some of you should get involved so that you can wag your finger directly?

New signalized pedestrian crossings are now in operation
TBNewsWatch 25Good to see the crossing at Red River. Many seniors reside in the towers there and this will assist them. I wonder how many of the 113 crossing happen to be teens from Hamm High? Will they use the lights? I saw someone almost get hit at the Water St roundabout the other day. He did not use the lights and the driver of the truck had to swerve quickly. Use the lights! Drivers can proceed once the pedestrian has crossed, you don't have to sit there.

Crowd rallies to demand action on housing crisis
TBNewsWatch 20No, it will not. The number of folks on the DSSAB wait list alone would eat up that number in no time. DSSAB has contracters for the work. Have you tried to get a contracter to your home any time lately? Do they need to change the way contracts are awarded? Maybe?Beyond that, the gangs and drug epidemic issue needs to be dealt with in city buildings. That, sadly, is easier said than done. The province walked away from affordable housing during the Harris years. The issue has now come to roost and the need has never been clearer.

'This is first class': New bus terminal gets thumbs up from passengers
TBNewsWatch 24Bigger, better, increased access for those with physical disabilities, who are a big part of ridership, and a larger rain/snow free area. Yeas, delays brought up the price, welcome to TBay! I was a transit rider for years and think I'll start to ride again. Anyone commenting who doesn't actually use the service is talking through their hat.

Muslim Association withdraws its Junot Park proposal
TBNewsWatch 24With respect to the Muslim community: your proposal was great. Unfortunatley the planning department seems to have led you down the garden path. Time and money spent by you ought to be refunded in some way.

'I had to fight': Runner speaks out on Boulevard Lake assault
TBNewsWatch 8You have no idea if this is at all related to the homeless population. For the most part, they are either too intoxicated to do what is described or are simply trying to keep their heads down and keep to themselves. This misogynistic arsehole may live right next to you.

Hiring starts for temporary shelter village positions
TBNewsWatch 10The mental health system is the thing that is broken, thanks to politicians like Mike Harris, who closed the psych hospitals with the false promise of properly funding community programs, which includes supportive housing. Instead he said the market will provide, what a joke.This is but one project that is in the works to hopefully get people on track to a better life.

Senior assassin game sparks weapons call
TBNewsWatch 18Catholisism is still the largest denomination of Christian belief worldwide and a significant political force. I don't think anyone is telling you that you can't follow that doctrine so please exchange your wet blanket for the latest hair shirt. As for guns, I loved water pistols when I was a kid, but they were nothing like the high pressure ones out today, which often resemble real guns. Pointing one at a senior, or realy at anyone, who may not know it is a water gun, is not my idea of fun and could be illegal. Yes, too many real illegal guns are brought in from south of the border.

City recommends three designated encampment sites

City seeks $400K to save recycling depots from '11th hour' closure
TBNewsWatch 9TBAG's pipe dream gallery is way too expensive, but this is an unfair comparison. They have done a lot of fundraising (obviously not enough and were blind about over-all costs), which is what non-profits do. This is not about a non- profit, rather it is a for profit business giving an "11th hour" ultimatum. We recycle as much as we can and would hate to lose the north side site, but please, this is the wrong place to grind that axe.

Deadline extended for evaluating designated encampment sites
TBNewsWatch 23Survey the homeless campers: Do they want help with their various issues, do they want to move to the 'village', how many are from the northern comunities and if they had been living 'rough' before coming here? There are plenty of outreach workers across the city from various agencies, have them ask these questions, if the answer is not already known. If campers refuse to respond, take it as a 'no, not interested'.
