Looking for someone to install Christmas lights on single story house roofline. Any recommendations?

I’m doing some renovations and I’m looking to repaint my walls and ceilings. Looking for recommendations for interior painters here in Thunder Bay.

Almost just got hit by 2 separate vehicles back to back at this intersection. I'm going straight through (blue arrow), 2 geniuses cut right in front of me trying to turn left (yellow arrows) HEY, GENIUSES! Straight gets the right of way before your left turn 😑 I go, guy cuts me off and I honk, the idiot behind him does the SAME THING and came SO fucking close to hitting me. Never had to honk at 2 people for my life 2 seconds apart before. Can we learn how fucking right of way works? Getting a dash cam asap. Wish I had this on video so bad. Had to rant. Drivers in this city are so shit.

Looking for a really good estate lawyer that is good at estate disputes.

As title says, how was your experience with Dr. Siren for infertility/IVF?
First appointment is approaching and I’m filled with emotions and questions. I have only a slim idea on what to expect.

How long did the whole process last, I know it’ll be different for everyone but still curious.

Were you given options or pushed towards something (IVF, IUI)?

Does he look for the reason for fertility issues or is he just.. pardon the word choice, but a baby making machine.

If anyone is willing to share their experience I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance

Is it safe to go to bars alone as a 20’s something male , what is your experience and is it recommended

Is there a store in town that sells fine expanded perlite (0-3mm)? Particle size has to be smaller than 3mm. Everywhere I have checked only sells perlite larger than this.

Thanks

Are there any cash games or tournaments running in this city?

Is it possible to get a poker room running?

I swear, you could announce tomorrow that Thunder Bay was being sold to Manitoba and half the city would have a 600-word opinion about it before lunch. There’d be arguments about property taxes, crime, whether Winnipeg was getting the better end of the deal, and at least one guy blaming the bike lanes. But ask people to spend a few minutes deciding who actually runs the place, and suddenly we’re looking at 40.85% voter turnout.

Seriously, what the fuck?

Look at everything going on right now. Not just in Thunder Bay, but everywhere. The cost of living is ridiculous, housing is becoming a luxury, neighbourhoods are struggling, and the political situation around the world resembles something you’d expect to find in the rejected scripts for a particularly depressing science fiction movie. People are angry, worried, frustrated, and increasingly convinced that nobody in charge has a clue what they’re doing.

You’d think this would be the perfect environment for people to become more politically involved. Instead, we’ve somehow managed to turn politics into one of our favourite spectator sports, except most of us can’t be bothered to participate when the opportunity comes around.

Before somebody starts explaining that municipal politics is boring, I know. Nobody is confusing a city council meeting with the Super Bowl. But consider how much of your actual life is affected by municipal decisions. The street you live on, the taxes you pay, the businesses that open or close, the development happening in your neighbourhood. A politician in Ottawa might spend six months arguing about something you’ll never notice. Your city council can approve something across the street that you’ll be looking at every morning for the next twenty years.

Now consider this. More than 54,000 eligible voters in Thunder Bay didn’t vote yesterday. The difference between the two leading mayoral candidates was just 946 votes.
Nine hundred and forty-six.

That’s not some enormous, impossible-to-comprehend political divide. That’s a decent crowd at a concert. There are probably more people in Thunder Bay who own three copies of Rumours than the number of votes separating the two leading candidates for mayor.

I’m not suggesting those 54,000 people would have voted the same way or changed the result. Nobody knows that. But it’s pretty incredible that an election affecting an entire city can come down to such a relatively small margin while the majority of eligible voters sit it out.

We have a new mayor, five first-time councillors, and a former councillor returning. Most of the people I voted for won, so I’m not upset about the results. I genuinely hope this council does well, because regardless of who you supported, we all have to live with the decisions they make.

What bothers me is the disconnect between how passionately we discuss everything that’s wrong and how little interest we collectively show when there’s an opportunity to influence what happens next.

We live in an age where you can broadcast your opinion about absolutely anything to hundreds or thousands of people without leaving your couch. You can argue with strangers in other countries about politicians you’ve never met. You can spend an entire evening furious about something that happened in Washington, Ottawa, or halfway around the planet.

But the people making decisions about the pothole outside your house? That’s where we lose interest.

I don’t expect everybody to follow every council meeting or memorize the municipal budget. Christ, I don’t think most councillors would particularly enjoy that either.

But with everything happening in the world, and everything happening right here in Thunder Bay, I genuinely thought more people would want a say in where we’re heading. Instead, nearly six out of ten eligible voters didn’t bother.

For a city with this many opinions, that’s a hell of a lot of silence.

Has anyone else noticed it’s only young girls that work that that Rez store the smoke shack? What happened to the adults that worked there? Is that really all who applies there or is the owner a weirdo?

What the hell people?! Brian Hamilton again?! Thunder Bay really looked at Brian Hamilton and said, “You know what this city needs? Another term of that.” 💀 Some mistakes you learn from. Others you apparently re-elect.

How are we feeling about this? Honestly, I’m just glad it wasn’t Ruberto or Giertuga.

I always thought it was separated by boulevard lake area…anyone have a ward map? I looked online but can’t find a non blurry pic

No refunds.

Anyone in Walmart at like 9:30pm and here the announcement? It was something like "if anyone sees Muriel in the peanut butter isle take away his peanut butter". I know I sound high as fuck but I swear, I wasn't the only one to hear it. My boyfriend and another couple commented on it. There was also 3 cop cars but that's because someone stole. Just wanna make sure im not going crazy tonight

So what exactly does a school board trustee do? They provide “governance and management” according to the Lakehead school board website. Somebody dumb it down for me and give me real world examples.

Preferably online since I do not have cable.

I'm always a sucker for live election night coverage

Anyone know where we can find live election results online? I don't have cable.

Hi,

So i'm taking an SSRI, prescribed by my "family doctor", who doesn't really know anything about me. I want to talk to someone who can confirm if I have anxiety (mostly) and depression (mild, maybe?). I'm not sure if it's helping or hurting but I feel like i'm not in the best place right now and maybe making some bad decisions or feel like i'm doing the wrong thing. Ideally i'd like to confirm if I have something where the med is helping, or if i can do better without it and should stop, and maybe some general advice and techniques to go about stuff. My family doc isn't very helpful. I haaate talking about myself or my problems. I'd appreciate any advice.

Thanks!!!!
