LETTER: Encampment enforcement needed now
TBNewsWatch
74Thank you Andre for your very well written letter and opinion. I used to regularly visit the Kam RIver Park as part of my walking route and also to bring my grandchildren to feed the seagulls. Not only has it become a deplorable sight but the dwellers have made it clear that I am not welcome. I sympathize with these desperate people but allowing them to squat in our public parks and empty space leaving their garbage everywhere, is not the solution to homelessness.

Rosslyn man sentenced to more than three years in federal prison
TBNewsWatch 16Poor and lazy reporting. This is only a copy and paste from court documents. What happened here? Other than a name and a conviction this article gives no information about this story. Was it one victim or multiple victims? Were the victims known to him or random people, etc etc?? With the information provided and how long it went on it seems like there is a big and involved story to tell.

Two sites identified for 'village' for homeless people
TBNewsWatch 27I'm hoping they use the empty lot and not the park. The lot would be more visible and hopefully safer. The park used to be part of my daily morning walks. Also I would sometimes bring my grandchildren there to see birds and watch the river enjoying nature. Both these things are no longer safe to do. It would be nice to get a safe park back for the public as it was an escape to nature in an urban setting.

First measles cases in nearly 30 years confirmed in Thunder Bay
TBNewsWatch 22It sure doesn't help the world that an anti-vaxxer is in charge of the U.S. health care system and now Trump wants an unqualified doctor to become the surgeon general. It will only get worse for the world while these lunatics run that country.

Former Tbaytel CEO filing to run for mayor
TBNewsWatch 21I don't know anything about him. Can anyone give factual information as to why he was fired from TBaytel. It would be a factor in whether or not I would i give him consideration

Caught on camera — motorist drives past stopped school bus
TBNewsWatch 18I'd like to see dash cams on all school buses so everyone who commits this violation is caught on camera, heavier fines, and demerit points for first offence, suspension for repeat offence.

One injured in flipped car
TBNewsWatch 20I go out that way frequently and always take the section of Broadway by the mill to avoid that part of the highway. Something about that section of the highway makes certain people drive like they have to urgently speed and pass on the right to get in front of the line.

American neighbours aren't our enemies, says Mayor Boshcoff
TBNewsWatch 15Thank you for your support of our country in cancelling your Arizona trip. I and the rest of my group cancelled our summer vacation to the States. I urge others to do the same. Explore Canada, Europe, Mexico, etc.

Over 100 jaywalkers a day: pedestrian crossing signals going up mid-block on Red River
TBNewsWatch 3How lazy of a society that you don't have the energy to hold your brake pedal down for 15 seconds while a person walks across the street.

Tenants evicted for non-payment of rent
TBNewsWatch 15The landlord tenant system is seriously flawed. There is no other service or industry where a person doesn't pay what they owe and gets away with it so easily in a dragged out process.

Residents claim McIvor Court is getting worse
TBNewsWatch 15Residential Tenancies Act is a major problem. You may as well go to the Twilight Zone to have your eviction case heard. Trying to get tenants out who are actively committing crimes, not paying rent, destroying the property is almost impossible. The tenant has all the rights. This needs to change.

Elderly woman 'not allowed to retire' from being a landlady
TBNewsWatch 12The LTB is a ridiculous sham. Landlords have no rights. There's a housing crisis but landlord's want out of the business. The biggest incentive for landlords to stay or get in the business would be to have actual laws that protect their investments. Tenants trash places and don't pay rent and somehow they win. Don't think this lady's solution is to sell. I tried to sell legitimately and it still cost me legal fees, a dragged on case, and the loss of a buyer because the tenant's action to stay put and not want to leave. And they got free legal help. Also why should she have to sell; it's her home.

Old psychiatric hospital discussed at 2025 AMO conference
TBNewsWatch 12This was similar to my question. I've missed something here or maybe the reporter neglected to ask Shelby to elaborate. Why is Fort WIlliam FIrst Nation "critical to moving this forward"? Nowhere does the article say what the affiliation the LPH property is to FWFN. Does anyone have an answer the reporter or Shelby did not provide? Also I hope the city is aware that costly environmental assessments will have to be done before this building is torn down and anything rebuilt. This could hold up any projects for a very long time. and be a can of worms. I wouldn't want the city to touch this property until the province has done all the necessary assessments and tear down and deems it fit for habitation.

McIvor Court residents scared to leave their homes
TBNewsWatch 11This does not fall under federal jurisdiction. The Residential Tenancies Act, which is provincial, gives all power to the tenant. The landlord (in this case DSSAB ) has no rights. Getting rid of tenants or giving them restrictions is next to impossible under this current law. The provincial government needs to act. This rogue tenant situation has gotten out of hand across the entire province.

City to install 5 new pedestrian crossings
TBNewsWatch 8Agreed. For years now while cycling or walking I've had to cross Arthur at Leland one lane at a time with cars whizzing by. For those who are booing it they are obviously people who don't walk or cycle. Do you realize how long it would take to walk around to James or Edward as compared to the 30 seconds you'd have to stop with your car. They are probably the people who speed up when I press the button to cross at crosswalks that I use now. Although most stop right away there are those few who just can't wait so speed up even faster. All these new crosswalks are very welcome but I'd like to see some more enforcement, tickets handed out and community service messages of the importance of stopping for pedestrians.

Ontario loosens booze rules in provincial parks
TBNewsWatch 9How does allowing more drinking enhance the overall experience and promote tourism? I book all my provincial park campsites at 7am, 5 months in advance and still sometimes don't get a spot so I don't see why the parks need to be promoted by alloweing public drinking. The parks have no trouble filling up the way it is now. I use provincial parks for camping because of the stringent rules that the allow the true peaceful experience of camping. I do enjoy and sip on an occassional drink while camping but it's not the main focus and certainly don't need to wander around with my drink. Why is Ford so obsessed with allowing more drinking?

Emergency crews search grain elevators in missing persons case
TBNewsWatch 7This is fact. It was in the works to tear down. The environmental assessments were done and a date had been set for demolition. Then Doug Ford got elected and cancelled the project and also cancelled all security on the property. All that's left is a no trespass sign and a gate. Leaving it easy for people to take up residence and get up to all kinds of activities on-site .
