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.

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.

Hiring starts for temporary shelter village positions
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.

Hiring starts for temporary shelter village positions
TBNewsWatch 5If you look at the website, you will see many questions answered. Couples will be allowed and also pets. This has been a huge barrier for some.

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.

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'.

'It's part of our democracy': Protesters take aim at Trump-like politics
TBNewsWatch 7That was a bad move, for sure. Similiar to the move to ban pro Palistine protests in the UK, similiar to many policies enacted south of the 49th in the last year or so.

Permit delays push opening of new Crush Coffee Co. café to July
TBNewsWatch 21Good luck. I like the hiring of women in transitional housing. Supplemented by the Goverment probably, but that's OK if it helps someone move on in life. I do wonder who your target market is, a high end coffee bar on Simpson Street?

Mill manager eulogizes final paper reel in Thunder Bay

'It's part of our democracy': Protesters take aim at Trump-like politics
TBNewsWatch 10As oppossed to the propaganda you listen to? Trump and Co are censoring legit media, often for reasons of pure vanity while the far right propagates lies, conspiracies and hatred.
