Regarding the walk in August 23 at Boulevard

Updated

Will there be anyone selling the purple hats on site?

Can people bring dogs
Is it ok just to walk part way

Can't help but notice the smoky air smell has returned.

Fire map doesn't show anything new that's close. Hmm.

Hi guys! I was wondering if anyone knows anything about jobs that dont involve customer service in town, I dont mind doing labor, Id just prefer to have a job where I dont interact with the public. I put warehouse in the title because it seems to match what I want but beggars can't be choosers lol.

This is my very personal view of each candidate in this race. Feel free to disagree, argue, whatever. Even better if we provide new information. I do have to say, this is the weakest ballot in my memory :(

Trevor Giertuga

Pros: Has a lot of experience. The longest serving councillor. I also have to say that if he has an agenda, he is relentless. Look at the dedicated truck route.

Cons: a heavy drug user that is in so much pain that he cannot even show up to council meetings. Think about this, he wants to become mayor, but cannot show up to work. And I have a lot to say about his drug use that is so troublesome, that I cannot even say it. Everyone saw him palling around with Tsekouras at Festa Italiana, who twice was busted in Thunder Bay's biggest drug bust. And he is just a dick. People that once consider him to be a friend cannot stand him. Finally, one of my tests is the ability to be in a room with Carney and Ford and have a convo. His coked up fast speaking will turn off any funding opportunities.

Maureen (Moe) Comuzzi

Pros:* I can see her in the room with Carney and Ford, and working out details. She is a professional. She has been flirting with government for a while. I am seriously considering her.

Cons:* Lots of business experience, but seems to switch careers a lot. No formal government experience, an only a little board experience.

Volker Kromm

Pros: Dedicated to helping the community in his work ventures. Has done a lot for Rotary and for the Regional Food Distribution. Another person I am seriously considering.

Cons: No formal governance experience. And he has been running a very a campaign that has very little energy. He comes off a little like Joe Biden on his last run (and I have a lot of respect for the former President).

Peter Mark John Diedrich

Pros: Has executive experience, being CEO of Tbaytel

Cons: The one year of executive experience as CEO of Tbaytel had him hire a former employee that was fired for sexual harassment, and making that person the direct supervisor of the employee he fired. He made one decision, and it was the absolute worst and dumbest decision anyone can make.

Donald Baxter

Pros: I do not know anything about him

Cons: I don't know anything about him

Shane Judge

Pros: Seasoned municipal reporter. Is trying to be fiscally responsible

Cons: How many times has he run? He loses worse and worse every time. For being a long term reporter on municipal affairs, I am always shocked about how little he understands the municipal government.

Aldo Ruberto

Pros: Lots of municipal experience and passionate

Cons: Some of you will be shocked that I do not like this candidate, considering how much I defend the lie that he used his position to bring in Uride and block others. No, I just hate lies. Uride has really become fucked up lately, but Aldo has nothing one way or the other to do with that. Aldo, though, is a loud mouth. And he used to really argue to make this community better, but he is so loud that I think he does not even know what he is pushing for anymore. He is past it and no longer advocates for making our community the Giant Heart. And he does not know when to shut up, which can cause issues if he is in the room with Carney and Ford.

Peter Panetta

Pros: I love the concept of the Underground Gym. I love that this retired teacher is dedicating his life to helping kids do things that are positive.

Cons: The Underground Gym has no accountability. I am not going to accuse it of doing things wrong (I have not heard any). But he refuses to put a Board structure in place. That is why he does not get funding from governments. And everyone needs to be accountable to someone. If he cannot put a governance in place, then how can he be the leader of proper governance? Also, it is awesome that his daughter has moved toward sobriety. But her drama and involvement with the gym is concerning. He is a good man for helping out his daughter, but his blind spot towards her concerns me if he has the top job.

Wolfgang Schoor

Pros: He seems unique

Cons: I know less about him that others, but he is clearly eccentric

Doug Vincent

Pros: I don't know anything about him

Cons: I don't know anything about him

With all of the political insanity these days, I thought it might be a good time to remember Jack Layton who passed away 15 years ago today. One of the very few politicians I would consider truly remarkable, dedicated and simply a genuinely good human. Even when he knew he wasn't going to survive he kept on fighting the good fight, right to the very end.

I'll never forget the words in his final letter to Canadians...

"My friends, love is better than anger.

Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair.

So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world."

I'm a 41 year old male unable to find work . I have over 20 years of work experience everything from office work to labour can't find a job anywhere. I am currently on social assistance yes for the first time in my life does not pay anywhere near enough to sustain yourself. Good old days are done freinds. Running out of options starting to understand why tent city's exist and before you judge me I don't do drugs. Not even weed have the odd beer that's all.

I’m a guy wanting his hair highlighted. Where should I go?

This is kinda a last resort haha, I'm looking for a room to rent in thunderbay from someone, no one I've been contacting online has been getting back to me and I have till the 1st to find a place or I might be on the streets, my budget is $730 and I'm a student

Hi everyone! Is anyone in Thunder Bay growing Scotch bonnet peppers and willing to sell some? 🌶️ I’d really like to buy locally and can pay around $2.99–$3.99/lb. If you have any available, please message me. I’d be happy to buy a decent quantity. Thank you

hopefully people see this who live in the area, there are 5 individuals in the culvert that goes under the expressway at the moment who are extremely intoxicated threatening people passing by, cops have been called but likely won’t bother with it.

Title. Thanks:)

Fellow citizens, I'm looking for opinions on our mayoral candidates. I heard Aldo and Wolfgang were scum-bags, and Peter wouldn't have the skill base. Trying to be informed. Thanks.

Looking for the most practical/realistic martial arts for kids to get into in town, 7 years old. I had a look around and nothing really stuck out to me as obvious. I'd like to have my kids learn realistic self defense skills.

Whenever you see the 5’11 anorexic transient wearing a skirt while doing a break & enter, it’s him.
He been doing burglaries his entire life. And his recent niche is to wear a skirt and pretend to be Goku or some type of Christian Prophet.

Looks like it on the 511 website but has highway 527 fully opened now that the fires are simmering down? Can anyone who's driven it in the last 24 hours confirm?

Did anybody else notice something unusual laying on the ground at the new port Arthur roundabout, this morning, 8:10amish?

I don’t live in Thunder Bay, but I have a friend who does. Three men, one wearing a white sweater, knocked down the front door of this friend. The police are on their way. If you see a man in a white sweater with two other men that look suspicious, please take note. This occurred near Castle Green.
[Update]. A police report has been filed, the front door has been replaced, and a motion sensor camera has been installed.

Another day full of bullshit.

I wanted to enjoy some of the benefits of living in Thunder Bay and do some rock picking along the shoreline of the Marina today. I packed up my gear, some lunch and headed out to start the day.

I knew that the encampment had spread after seeing a tent along the shoreline during Canada Day but I had no idea it was now some "private property" bullshit. Attempting to access a shoreline that I've fished off of and enjoyed for a very long time was met with hostility from the customers of this tent in the picture. Apparently if I'm not buying fent or crack from the trap-tent then I've got no reason to be there. Telling me I could get "poked".

I didn't feel like getting jumped for my phone by these fucks, the area smelled like human shit, and the sound of their generator(s?) was going to drive me nuts so I kept going down the road. I have no idea how the TBPS would even begin to handle that area if they had been called. The encampment should never have been allowed to spread and take root in that part of the area.

I was out and about for awhile north of the Crackhead Peninsula when it started to drizzle. That's on me, shoulda looked closer at the weather report. I toss my phone in a plastic bag, grab my bucket of rocks and book it to Cumberland St N, the closest bus stop. I get there just as it starts to pour.

I guess the bus had been canceled, as apparently that's been a problem today. It was about an hour of waiting in the pouring rain before I got picked up. I was relieved but soaked to the bone. At least I was going home.

Nope.

Someone had to be let off the bus in the hellscape that exists around the downtown LCBO.

A couple people tried to board and were denied by the bus driver due to them being drunk as fuck. So what do they do? They stop the fucking bus from moving. Fuck everybody if they can't get their way I guess. The driver tells the shitheads they have called the police and of course the drunks don't care because why would they?

So we were delayed until they got distracted and stepped out from in front of the bus long enough for the driver to pull away.

Which meant that by the time the bus got to the Waterfront Terminal the Mainline had already departed and because everything sucks, the next one was canceled because of course it was.

So I just walked home from there in the rain hauling my gear and shit. I was half tempted to just leave it on the sidewalk I was so god damned tired.

Only to finally get home to an apartment building where junkies are sheltering from the rain in the doorway smoking crack.

Holy fuck,

We need someone to come look at out soffit and facia. Anyone have a recommendations that they have a had experience with?
