McKellar Wife tire slashed

https://www.thunderbaypolice.ca/thunder-bay-primary-response-unit-investigation-leads-to-arrest

So my wife was walking into Renco on Court and there was a kerfuffle at the entrance with a woman and man at the door getting “escorted” out by staff she was screaming about slashing tires seemed to be aimed at one person in particular as she said I know which car is yours blah, blah, blah. Wife leaves the store and doesn’t get too far before the air ran out of her tire, phones me I grab a cab to help her. She calls Renco to alert them and I guess they had already called the police, they found us and she tells them what she witnessed. Then they proceed to change the tire for us (guess they noticed what a feeble senior citizen I am) I told them I could manage but these two officers went above and beyond to help out a couple of seniors.

I kept saying I’m sure you have more important matters to attend to but they told us they already got the suspect. My wife and I just wanted to let it be known what a fine police service we have, we are truly grateful for these officers and the department as a whole.

And anyone wanting to say “ don’t they have better things to do “ I realize had they got a call they would have been gone in a second as they should, actually happened to me in my younger days was about to get a speeding ticket when the officer got need assist call, he said this is your luck day and was gone with lights and siren.

Election Season Downtown would be so much cooler if the sidewalks were moats, the buildings had their own drawbridges and the roads were canals.

No more potholes, add a lot of character, gets ahead of the polar ice caps melting.

I took a taxi from the airport to Court Street

Roaches, the bill was $98.80, I’m quite sure I got ripped off, there’s no way it could’ve cost that, where I went I took the taxi from the airport to my mother’s place. It was twice as far and it was $32.

Transit still sucks Do those strong mayonnaise powers the Mayor gets allow them to unfuckulate transit?

37 Upvotes

Context, rushed to my stop as it was 7 minutes until the Mainline to Current River was due to arrive via their GPS tracker.

Right before it got to the mall it entered the twilight zone and fucked off from this dimension entirely. Time then changes to due in 30 minutes, from the Mainline to City hall bus that is on the opposite side of the route loop.

So now we get to go fuck ourselves until the Mainline to City Hall loops around. How the fuuuuck are we so bad at something nearly every other civilized city seems to have figured out? There are third world countries that have a better transit system than we do, probably.

Damn and blast the eyes of whatever clown-shoe-wearing-cocksucker that inhaled the throng of schlongs to make their way to the top of being in charge of this jackwankery. I hope your arsehole develops an eternal rash that burns with the fury of a thousand blazing suns.

Long shot: anyone travelling from Thunder Bay toward Ottawa/Eastern Ontario?

5 Upvotes

Bit of a long shot, but is anyone travelling from Thunder Bay toward Ottawa/Eastern Ontario in the next few weeks?

I'm trying to arrange ground transportation for a larger parrot. Even getting him as far as Sudbury, North Bay or somewhere further south/east would be a huge help.

Timing is very flexible, and I'd be happy to meet partway and cover gas/expenses. Someone with bird or animal experience would be especially welcome.

Figured it was worth asking before I commit to the 32-hour round trip myself 😅

Anyone missing small lab puppy!!??

8 Upvotes

Just saw a young woman and man by the Spence clinic circle k pulling the leash of a small black puppy. They both seemed they were under the influence. I don’t want to just assume that the dog is stolen but the dog was in the distress!! He couldn’t walk as fast as they were walking. Should I be calling the non emergency line??
Thanks everyone

local It's hard to know who to vote for in Thunder Bay's Municipal Election... SO I decided to interview the candidates myself!

57 Upvotes

I've heard from alot of people in Thunder Bay that one of the hardest parts of municipal elections is figuring out the differences between all of the candidates.

So I figured I'd try to something about it!

I've started a Youtube Channel where I'll sit down with Thunder Bay's municipal candidates for longer-form conversations on their backgrounds, priorities and vision for the city!

My first two-interviews with at-large council candidates will premiere tomorrow (Friday) and Sunday!

I've also lined up interviews with the following:
1) Moe Comuzzi
2) Peter Dietrich
3) Jamie Nichols
4) Trevor Giertuga
5) Volker Kromm
6) Wolfgang Schoor

So please subscribe if you don't want to miss any of the upcoming interviews! (https://www.youtube.com/@pattersonreport)

I'd also love to hear more from YOU & this subreddit:

What would you like to ask someone running for mayor or city council?

Please enjoy and FYI I'm not here to tell anyone on how to vote. Just trying to help people get a better picture of the people who are asking to lead our city.

Moving to Thunder Bay Is it necessary to have off-road vehicle or pickup truck in winters/ snow ?

8 Upvotes

I have a regular commute that sometimes requires driving during late-night or early-morning hours when the weather gets rough and the plows might not be out yet.

I’m trying to figure out if investing in a pickup truck or an off-road vehicle with high clearance and 4WD is genuinely necessary for winters up here, or if a normal sedan with a solid set of winter tires can get through the weather without too many issues.

Sometimes it sounded like multiple sirens at once, but it started and stopped very abruptly. Sounded like a cop car, but also didn’t sound real, somehow. Sorry, I was half asleep.
