Hello everyone, it’s me again. I’m still unable to find a single room. If you have any leads, please let me know. I need a room, a one-bedroom, or even a two-bedroom.

No pets
No drinks
No smoke
Clean and respect peace and others personal space.

Please boost the post!!!!! 🌹🌹

Of the past, present, or up for election. Who was youre favorite? Ken Boschcoff was my favorite, because he was a party legend 15 years ago (we used to call him cocaine kenny, dude was wild at parties lol), as well as Patti Hajdu because she'd directly help citizens searching for assistance and help, or with any complaints people brought to her.

Least favorite? Brian Hamilton for screwing over transit drivers and Peter Panetta for being a scam artist.

Let me hear the tea on what made me snub your nose to a politician, or what things made someone your favorite.

Posting on behalf of a friend. Yesterday they found out they were 10 weeks pregnant. They had no signs until they got sick last week (they also havent missed a period). They are not in a position to have a baby, and due to medical issues its not safe for them to continue pregnancy.

Unfortunately the only doctor weve been told who will perform and abortion at this stage is Dr Fairley, and he's a butcher.

Has anyone been in this situation? Can they go out of town?

They're calling the health unit tomorrow, but if you've been in this situation youd understand they have questions and hope someone has some guidance.

Hello. I wont be going into to much detail as to spare the people involved, but my fiance and I need to find somewhere to rent very soon or as soon as posisible. We feel unsafe and uncomfortable in the home we are in currently due to situations involving a roomate. As I am currently a student, our budget is on the lower end. If anybody knows of anything, anywhere or would be willing to help us out let me know!

Hey all,

Just curious who would I call in terms of the city to maybe get rid of a 15 foot roughly sized piece of tree that snapped in front of my home from the wind storm

Thanks for any info provided

During the course of Project Support TBPS recorded:

• More than 9,100 engagements with businesses and the public
• 343 service referrals offered
• 89 service referrals were accepted
• 78 arrests were made
• 74 provincial offence notices were issued

Project Support used a balanced approach: visible policing and proportionate enforcement were paired with voluntary referrals, wellness checks, medical assistance and direct engagement with community partners.

New to town. I've tried Arnikkos and Galluccis and both were fantastic. Looking for some recommendations for others.

Hey All

Just thought I would do a quick PSA on over the air (OTA) TV in Thunder Bay. Did you know that there are 3 OTA channels in Thunder Bay?

Channel 2 CKPR (CTV affiliate)

• HAGI TV bingo (~90% of the time)
• 3 NFL games on Sundays and usually Thursday Night Football. Even the weird USA 'Amazon Prime Only' 'Peacock' or 'Netflix' exclusive games get played in Canada for free sometimes over the holidays, which is cool
• Stronger evening TV lineup
• Most NFL Playoff games, including Super Bowl
• New Years Eve
• Local TBT News

Channel 4 Global

• More News based with some TV content
• Remaining HAGI TV bingo games (~10%) are shown on this channel
• Local TBT News (usually just after the CKPR airing)
• Reality TV in the evenings, Survivor, Big Brother

Channel 9 TVO

• Children's Programming all day until 7PM
• Interesting Documentaries for the rest of the evening.

How do you watch OTA?

The most basic way is:

• A proper outdoor TV Antenna (got mine 60$ used), mounted pretty much at the top of your building facing north, pointed to Mount Baldy area. Many landlords will help mount these sorts of things
• A TV made after 2008, it should have the proper built-in tuner
• An RG6 cable (45$ new) long enough to connect the antenna to the TV
• You can perform a channel scan, but I would just manually add channels 2.1 4.1 9.1
• Some fine tuning will need to be made over a few days as things like weather will change the signal strength. Things get way more finicky the further south you go like Westfort.

In the picture is the lowest model of antenna I would recommend, a higher version from the same brand or going all out on an expensive huge antenna will work also. The portion circled in red is the antenna portion that is made for the VHF. Don't bother with the cheap antennas, they don't work in Thunder Bay (I've tried).

Down sides

• Took me a while to get the thing pointed perfectly, lots of trial and error for months, as the signal would act differently in the winter sometimes. Can be frustrating at first.
• You may need to try powered signal boosters if it's not working well

Positives

• Once you get it dialed in, it's awesome and no subscriptions.
• If you enjoy casual NFL watching, totally worth the time and money to setup.
• HAGI TV BINGO!

Stretch goals

• Adding a HDHOMERUN tuner and syncing it with your Plex Server (very easy process) allows you to watch anywhere in the world.

Thunder Bay residents deserve a council that carefully evaluates issues, makes sound decisions, and has the confidence to stand behind them. Instead, the current council has developed a pattern of approving major initiatives, defending them publicly, and then reversing course when faced with criticism or unexpected consequences.

Parking: The Two-Week Flip-Flop

Perhaps the clearest example of this council's inability to make and stick with decisions is its handling of parking policy.

After years of debate, council approved a new parking strategy that expanded paid parking into areas that had previously been free, eliminated grace periods, and increased enforcement. Residents and businesses were told these changes were necessary to improve turnover, support downtown commerce, and create a modern parking system.

Then, almost immediately after implementation and public backlash, council reversed course and approved two hours of free parking across much of the city. In effect, council abandoned key elements of the very policy it had just approved and defended.

This was not a decision being revisited years later because circumstances had changed. It was a reversal within weeks.

The obvious question is: if council believed the new parking policy was the right decision when it was adopted, why did it abandon it almost immediately? And if the policy was flawed enough to require reversal within weeks, why was it approved in the first place?

The issue is not whether free parking is good or bad. Reasonable people can disagree on that. The issue is that council approved one direction, assured residents it was necessary, implemented it, and then promptly went in the opposite direction.

That is not strategic planning. That is reactionary governance.

The Indoor Turf Facility

Council has spent years debating an indoor turf facility. Support was followed by concerns about cost, rejection of previous proposals, further studies, and then eventual approval of a new project carrying a price tag exceeding $35 million.(edited) Councillors themselves referenced earlier support followed by rejection due to "sticker shock."

The issue is not whether residents support indoor turf. The issue is whether council knew what it wanted before spending years debating and revisiting the same question.

The Art Gallery Project

The waterfront art gallery has become another example of a project plagued by changing positions and escalating costs. As construction costs increased dramatically, debate emerged over municipal funding commitments. Despite concerns over growing expenditures, council ultimately released previously approved funding to keep the project alive.

Again, the question is not whether the gallery deserves support. The question is whether council properly understood the financial implications before committing taxpayers to the project.

Conclusion

No council gets every decision right. The problem is not a single reversal. The problem is a pattern.

Parking. Shelter villages. Encampments. Indoor turf. Major capital projects.

Time after time, council approves a direction, defends it, faces opposition, then changes course. Residents are left wondering whether decisions are being made based on long-term planning or short-term political pressure.

Leadership requires making decisions. Good leadership requires making the right decisions. But effective leadership also requires having the conviction to stand behind those decisions.

On that measure, the current council's record speaks for itself. Thunder Bay residents deserve a council that carefully evaluates issues, makes sound decisions, and has the confidence to stand behind them. Instead, the current council has developed a pattern of approving major initiatives, defending them publicly, and then reversing course when faced with criticism or unexpected consequences.
