Brian Ross of Thunder Bay calls for moral clarity as anti trans rhetoric rises in Canada and the United States. He urges equity, inclusion, and protection so LGBTQ people can live freely and safely across communities nationwide.
Eric Boutilier argues Via Rail Canada fails northern travellers, citing repeated delays, lack of shelter, no guaranteed connections, and weak protections unlike air travel. He urges government action to grant priority tracks and passenger rights for The Canadian and Sudbury White River routes.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced a 2 billion dollar rebate to businesses from WSIB funds, prompting opposition that the move shifts support away from injured workers. Critics cite high denial rates for mental health claims and poverty risks for severely disabled workers, alongside undercounted work fatalities and cancer risks, urging real protections for workers and families.
Editorial urges reestablishment of the over four decade old Duluth sister city link with Thunder Bay outlining mutual benefits. It notes public diplomacy over tariffs and tensions and cites local groups like the Peng You Taiji Quan Association ready to raise funds and start projects with City Hall cooperation.
Thunder Bay council votes to keep the hybrid ward and at large system despite a four ward plan with one councillor per ward and six at large spots. Carlos Santander-Maturana voices concern that the public wants neighborhood representation over an electorally advantaged at large model.
Reg G. Jones criticizes Thunder Bay City Council for appointing a committee to study council size and composition, then dismissing its well researched recommendations after community consultation. He supported a fully at large model but favored compromise, praising the committee’s proposal to slightly reduce size and better reflect the community while condemning informal input being allowed to drive policy.
Shane Judge argues Thunder Bay ward councillors act as impediments rather than agents of change. He says they cannot order fixes, protect narrow ward interests, and hinder citywide growth. He supports reducing council size and shifting focus to industry and commerce to cut taxes.
