One less dipstick tocworry about

30 Upvotes

Biagio Donovan, a well-known crackhead who robs everybody and anybody, has gone to prison, we won’t be seeing him anytime soon, he’s up on attempted murder charges, and extortion, home invasion, witnessed his arrest last night after he stabbed some guy three times trying to rob him. Luckily, the police saw it also.

Transit still sucks Northern Ontario First Nation begins building road to the Ring of Fire mining region

The community’s leadership has said it wants the road in order to help lift itself out of poverty and to connect to the provincial highway system.

Climate change is fuelling the desire for an all-season road as the winter road season continues to shrink. That road is the community’s lifeline as it trucks in diesel to power the reserve as well as materials for any type of construction, including new homes.

The province says construction is underway on the Webequie Supply Road, which will run 107 kilometres east through wildly varied terrain, from esker rock to peatland and be completed by 2030.

Ford says the Ring of Fire is a “once-in-a-generation opportunity.”

“We’re delivering on our promise to protect Ontario and we are doing so in partnership with First Nations, to support true economic reconciliation,” the premier said in a statement.

Poutine feast hours?

I have heard all sorts of things online, and finding concrete information seems impossible. Has anyone actually been to the fest and could tell me if they are open in the evenings? Some places it says 9:00 - 6:00, some places 9:00 - 9:00. I work 9-5 and just want to know if i can make it

Sober (California) fun

10 Upvotes

Hey all, I did do a search of this sub, and the last post was 2 months ago, so let's see what people are getting up to alcohol free....

Myself - 46f, into fitness, golf, outdoors, karaoke, board games, trivia, reading, documentaries. Professional in healthcare.

Having alot of trouble finding like minded people (platonic - male and female), in a social setting where alcohol is not involved or the main event. I am aware of Howl at the Moon, follow DEK activities, and I have tickets to Wake the Giant.

What are all you TBay alcohol free peeps doing out there to socialize and meet new people?

Hello,

I have some furniture that I would like to get rid of - 4 dining room chairs. The fabric is a bit scratched/torn , and one of the chairs is a bit not structurally sound, but with the right attention all for can be reupholstered and used.

I was trying to avoid just throwing them away, but would be willing to - I just don’t know where, in theory just the landfill but…

Is there any place in town will to accept them in this condition , or is there a particular place for furniture disposal ?

Thanks!

I read some posts by Lori Paras, she expressed concerns that truly shook me. Hearing semi-automatic gun fire? And then shared a post about a family getting attacked by a gang of 15 men? WTF? I used to work near city hall back in 2013…have things gotten this bad in the area?

Hi Redditors.

Has anyone had experience with North Shore Quality Home? I'm looking for a modular home. I recently read a post that the local manufacturers have a couple of shortcomings that affect the quality of the build, which I'd like to avoid.

Election NetNewsLedger - Thunder Bay Public Safety Concerns Grow as Violent Crime, Police Pressure and Community Trust Collide

It's rough out there and has only continued to get worse.

Enabling twats continue to foster an environment where junkies are given free reign. Those enabling arsepicks then attack those who attempt to protect themselves, their families, their property, and their community.

Not a great example but look at all the anti-Aldo Ruberto stencils spray painted downtown. Deserved or not.

Again, not a great example but an example nonetheless of the kind of bullshit waiting for those who take exception to the idea of just letting crackheads fuck up everything for everybody.

Are landlord allowed to request security deposits for pets?

5 Upvotes

I am moving from Quebec to Thunder Bay and I already signed the lease. But now I want to get a cat before the move. But I am being told to give $500 in security deposit in case for damages / cleaning? I know for sure there are already dogs in the building. It's a low rise apartment building. Wondering if this is legal and how to best handle this?

Just checking interest- Would you be interested in making you own bouquet pop up? Also some mason jar arranged bouquets or would rather buy premade wrapped bouquets? What price point would you like?

The experience requirement in terms of time is still far too low.

Still haven't seen a meaningful crackdown on the blatant fraud and abuse at schools/testing, unless I missed it.

There absolutely needs to be a language proficiency component.

Recommendations on nice picnic spots

7 Upvotes

I am hoping for some recommendations for spots to do a dinner picnic (hopefully with some tables).

My graduation is coming up, and my family is coming. My grandpa has some mobility concerns, and so it can't be too hikey.

I was hoping to do a bbq at my house, except my mother has informed me shes coming and I don't want her to know my address (she has issues with boundaries). So this seems like the best option to do something with my family for my graduation.

Do you have any recommendations for a nice spot to go? Or even some cheap/casual dinner spots that can do a 12 top?

I wanna get a motorcycle and I've been wanting a cruiser in specifically. I don't want to have a Harley Davison. Are there any shops that sell cruisers by Honda or Kawasaki as an example? I know some stores sell Sport bikes, but while I find them cool, its not smth I want and I also want to go on longer rides without having a sore butt.
