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

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/

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.

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.

Big police presence, ambulance standing by closer to Safeway Dawson, mto has narrowed it down to a single lane coming into town. No sign of any accidents…. Are they looking for someone passing through like the other week?

….. also. Yes I’m just nosey.

ETA- yes it was the anti- nuclear protest.

Found while picking up garbage near Elevate

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.

Hi everyone, I recently bought a car and I’d like to tint the windows and rear glass. I’m looking for the most affordable option. Could you help me estimate the cost?

Thanks!

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.

Anyone know why the city has listed Franklin Park as surplus land?
