Thunder Bay police officer charged with assault causing bodily harm
TBNewsWatch
38Hmmm. We have the name of the subject officer, but not the name of the intoxicated person. This "incident" was more than a year ago. Was that person co-operating fully?

'Tiny home village' to open on Miles Street this summer
TBNewsWatch 42"... some of the clients will likely stay there only until their personal circumstances stabilize." My question to any homeless person is "What did you do today to make your tomorrow better?" Their circumstances will only stabilize when they work towards that happening.

Paula Abdul, Taylor Dayne and Tiffany coming to TBCA
TBNewsWatch 39It used to be that you bought a ticket to see a show. Now, with outlets such as TicketMaster, you pay for the show ticket PLUS a n additional fee to buy the show ticket. The auditorium used to sell their own tickets. Why is the extra fee leaving the city instead of paying an Auditorium employee?

Individuals assaulted two officers over the weekend
TBNewsWatch 37Again I'd bet, just one assault against a judge or JP and the consequences would be much different. We need the courts to get tougher on this type of assault.

City convenience stores lining up to sell booze
TBNewsWatch 33Won't the taxes on the booze be the same as in the LCBO? That's the part the government gets, so why would the revenue for health, education, etc. be any different?

Six city owned parkettes could be sold to build more housing
TBNewsWatch 26Canada brought in 1.5 MILLION immigrants last year alone (not counting the illegals that have crashed our country) & now we're short of housing! Using space designated for parks can never be recouped later. Soon this country will look like the places many of these people left. We need some forward-thinking people making these decisions about spaces.

Assaults on hospital staff fell sharply with police presence
TBNewsWatch 33Pretty sad that we have to add police & security to places like hospitals & even libraries. But then, there is that woefully lax court system we're tolerating.

TBNewsWatch 17So they voted in someone who has declared personal bankruptcy not once, but twice, to "fix" their economy.

Eight arrested face more than 70 charges related to guns and drugs
TBNewsWatch 31Good work on the part of the police. I do NOT expect anything equivalent from the court system. Law & justice seldom walk hand in hand in this province. Unless there are 8 empty jail cells, these people will be back in business within weeks.

OPP charge commercial vehicle with stunt driving
TBNewsWatch 25Hopefully the whole load in that truck was impounded too. That would certainly give the owner food for thought.

Three drivers charged with stunt Driving in just over an hour
TBNewsWatch 24117 prior convictions is obviously more a reflection on our weak judicial system than on his driving ability.

Tenant who owes almost $10,000 gets a deadline for payment
TBNewsWatch 26"... the tenant must remit $11,314 to retain occupancy of the apartment, or she must give up possession" Excuse me, but shouldn't that be an order to pay the money AND be evicted? She owes just under $10 grand without the January rent.

Driver gets 7.5 years for role in fatal crash
TBNewsWatch 22It would be interesting to see if the general public felt it was a fair and sufficient penalty.

Former tenant must pay landlord nearly $6,000 for damages
TBNewsWatch 24Now comes the problem of actually trying to collect from the tenant. The law has no teeth whatsoever, and the collection is left to the winner of the judgement. From past experience, going to court is a waste of time & money. It will involve more money, more forms to complete and more time down the drain.

District Jail under evacuation
TBNewsWatch 16Do not mothball this jail when the new one opens. It will still be needed and will continue to be serviceable. Meanwhile, build more jails.
