80% of households receive more from the carbon tax than they pay: university professor
TBNewsWatch 15think. It is relevant to individual households which outnumber businesses based on how many houses i see in this town versus businesses. there is no way businesses outnumber individual households.to add, all of those buinesses and the people they employ probably maintain indivual househilds..think....

LETTER: Nuclear waste and science-phobic groups go hand in hand
TBNewsWatch 16great read. It is interesting that in the face of continuing evidence in satisfying safety concerns in a given project (. we know which one).people have just doubled down on their beliefs to the contrary (.we know who they are).No matter how much effort is given to safety and regulation this belief perseverance has simply created a continued and severe attitude polarization.Many times such individuals will then create arguments that are severely illogical to support their belief when their confirmation bias is challenged. Ie: prove everything is 100% safe , when they know that is impossible in reality.In the end , no one wants to endure a narcissist mortification ( in the case of narcissists) They basically cant or wont cope.Trump supporters such as Q anon show these traits. They will also demand something be stopped, ie: an election overturned, when out voted.

Concerned driver saved Thunder Bay woman's life
TBNewsWatch 13No new news to readers but as we know there has been a huge increase in transport related " incidents" the last decade or so. All winter OPP and Ministry vehicles have been at the KOA hill east of town pulling vehicles over for speeding and other reasons.A new inspection station is now at pass lake.Just 2 days ago a ministry vehicle pulled a transport truck over under the terry fox lookout ( where i was standing) that truck was still there 30 minutes later.The highways have changed , not for the worse as in fact there are more safe guards and passing lanes than ever . TAnd while the weather may have its up and downs, but heres the deal, it is drivers that in my opinion are the factor here.double laning from Sault Ste Marie to Manitoba will never happen in my great grandchildrens life time.Its not the highways folks its the drivers

Construction starts on unit housing cardiovascular surgery program
TBNewsWatch 13“ a region located too far west for its time zone” . “ Known “ to increase “cardio related complications “So it’s known , as in this is the cause?Or simply it’s just one positive correlation. That is like saying most cancer patients eat bread therefore bread causes cancer. Thunder bays increased incidence of cardiac disease is much more complicated than such a simplistic explanation.

Doug Ford asks Ontarians to boycott Chinese EVs
TBNewsWatch 12first off its not all about the EVs This is a tactical move by the PM. It sends a sign - Canada as a sovereign state can make its own deals.We can diversify. And unlike soy farmers in the US , we helped farmers.While negotiating CUSMA it gives leverage, its a card to play. A few other things, many consumers do not want an EVs , fair enough. Some do, so give us the consumer a fair choice. The 35 000 EV limit is really a drop in a huge bucket. The market selling gas engined vehicles is not touched at all.As for myself, id love to have a small EV to run around town, but to pay 50 sweet Gs , no thanks. and Chinese EVs arent junk , do some research .
