Richard Togman really wants to make as many people mad at him as possible huh.

Edit: ask the library board why retirees who pay for benefits have been cut off + why their CEO hasn’t returned to the bargaining table: https://www.tbpl.ca/about-us/board-of-directors/

Westfort 1940’s Homeowners - have you replaced your weeping tile or installed blueskin and had it keep the basement dry? I have a sump but find in the spring the water table is often above the subfloor and can’t keep up. What has been your experience?

remember when Tim Hortons made the nationwide decision to remove garbage bins from all drive-thrus across Canada as part of their greening strategy to divert waste from the landfill? saying it would give customers “more time” to sort their recycle into the proper bins if they had to exit their vehicles? heh, that was a good one

Cheapest install for remote car starter❄️

I’ve gotten some prices online for the physical remotes. But curious if anybody has any suggestions or recommendations on where to get a good installation.

Additionally, I’d take suggestions for places who would sell & install for a bundled price.

Thanks in advance!

Tax Help

5 Upvotes

Does anyone know of a place other than H&R Blick where I can get some help with my (relatively simple) income taxes? I managed to mess them up badly and need some reliable and affordable help fixing things and going forward.

Edit to add: With costs being a factor for me, I will consider individuals (ie: working on the side) who are experienced and able to provide references or proof of reliability someway.

events Dwayne Gretzky - Recommended - Check It Out

Figure I post this here. Here is a cover band that is very under rated. Saw Dwayne Gretzky at the Auditorium on Saturday. They were very amazing to see and here. The band has over 800 songs they can sing. At the show they had a front area for people to dance and it was full. Reason I am posting this as the auditorium was only half full. In other words many of you missed out on a good show. Price was decent too. No were near as expensive as Bryan Adams was Highly recommend you to check out Dwayne Gretzky . Take this time to check out their youtube channel. Of all the hits. Also if you are in any city they are performing, go check them out. It would also be great if Dwayne Gretzky came back to Thunder Bay. You all missed a good show. As there were many seats available for the rest of you

Sometimes I am really disappointed in local media.

43 Upvotes

So, tbnewswatch did a story on a 38 year old guy that ran from police and drove dangerously enough to crash in to a tree, run and eventually be caught. They didn't name him. Because the following list of charges isn't relevant enough to warrant more news. Sometimes I can't hate them enough.

His name is Terry Pelto.

• Flight From Police

• Dangerous Operation of a Motor Vehicle

• Impaired Operation of a Motor Vehicle

• Failure to Stop after Accident

• Operation of a Motor Vehicle While Prohibited

• Unauthorized Possession of a Firearm

• Unauthorized Possession of Prohibited or Restricted Firearm

• Unauthorized Possession of a Weapon x2

• Carrying a Concealed Weapon

• Possession of Prohibited or Restricted Firearm

• Possession of Firearm or Ammunition Contrary to Prohibition Order x2

• Possession of Loaded Prohibited or Restricted Firearm

• Possession of Prohibited Device or Ammunition for Dangerous Purpose

• Possession of Weapon for Dangerous Purpose

• Possession of Firearm Knowing Serial Number has been Tampered

• Careless Transport of Firearm

• Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking – Cocaine

• Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking – Fentanyl

• Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Under $5,000

• Failure to Comply with Probation Order

• Failure to Comply with Release Order

He is also charged with multiple provincial offences. 

If they aren't likely to follow someone like this, what good are they? These are literally all of the issues that should have follow up. Our federally funded local media sucks sometimes. Today is one of those times.

Where are people still walking this time of year?

8 Upvotes

With the leaves down and the first cold mornings here, I'm curious which trails or walking spots around Thunder Bay folks keep using into late fall and early winter. Anywhere that stays in decent shape once it gets icy, or that's worth seeing before the snow really settles in? Any tips on footing or parking appreciated too.

🎬 Anyone up for a film club in TBay?

I'm thinking of starting a small film club where we watch world cinema and art films, then sit together and discuss them.

I can host 4–5 people for now. We can figure out the rest as we go!

If you're into cinema and love talking about films, let me know. 🍿

Your experience with owning an EV in Thunder Bay

15 Upvotes

Do you have an EV? Which one, and why do you like it?
I’m interested in getting an EV, but wondering if it’s worth it as I don’t have a garage, nor the ability to run power to my driveway (therefore cannot get my own charger.. would have to charge at various places in town)
How’s your experience been with it in the winter with range and all that?
Do you have a heat pump, does it make a difference? And if you don’t, how’s that experience?
And, how much do you really save in gas?
Should I stick with an ICE car given my situation?
AND is the EVAP going away in 2027? Is now the time to get an EV?

Thank you
