Thunder Bay – Turning Chinese
I see the Liberal Party of Ontario have a new logo. Snazzy but, if I remember my early primary school classes, a gold star was always the best. Then red, then blue.

Thunder Bay – Monitoring Wells
The other day, I was early for my bus so I was wandering around the water Street bus terminal. I noticed these things. Some drill holes. Old drill holes. Then I walked around the parking lot next to the hydro substation and found this. A monitoring well. I then took a […]
Thunder Bay – Lies, Damn Lies, Statistics and Feasibility Studies
I have to believe that the City of Thunder Bay wants to eventually use the Innova Business Park for something. I heard as a possible mining hub whatever that is. I assume it will be the location for all sorts of offices and shops of companies dealing with all the mining operations that may be […]
