Thunder Bay – If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and lies like a duck ….
I know that 1778691 Ontario Inc. went to the local media to help them spread the great news about their condo sales figures. Sales of their waterfront condos have been stratospheric. Beyond their wildest dreams, Fastest selling condos on the face of the earth. One tower over 75% sold, closer to 90% as I understand it now, plus the […]

Thunder Bay – Celebration Circle Jerk
So lets see what this award winning piece of waterfront looks like. As far as Aboriginal Culture connection, that demographic seems to avoid the place like the plague. Never use it. Not ever. Personally, I think it looks pretty much like it did before all this construction. A few rocks were scattered around the place. […]

Thunder Bay – Chain of Events
Saw this in the latest copy of MyTbay. That deluge set off a chain of events that has serious consequnces for many residents and the City as a whole. Set off a chain of events…interesting method of skipping the details. What are the chain of events? I guess we may never know for sure. […]

Thunder Bay – We Who Are About To Sail Salute You
It appears that some boaters just do not care about public safety. This person continues to drive through the Waterfront Plaza in order to park near his/her boat. It also appears that the City of Thunder Bay is OK with this practice so, if people’s safety isn’t important to Mr. Alexander and Mr. Fayrick, then […]
Thunder Bay – Goebbels would be proud
What do Paul Pepe, Stephan Colbert and Joseph Goebbels have in common? Well …. Waterfront Becomes Tourist Destination? Paul Pepe says While the exact number of visitors to the park are hard to track, Pepe said in addition to checking license plates, the nearby restaurants and businesses have been really selling Prince Arthur’s Landing to […]

Thunder Bay – Playing Hardball
Hmmmm, after seeing some of what is included in Waterfront Agreement 2, I tried to imagine just how our crack team of negotiators managed to get us such a great deal. Maybe it included this Joe Bova attempt at playing hardball.

Thunder Bay – Condo Musings
Not a very big sign in not a very public location. I would have thought that a sign that could be seen from Water Street would be more effective. I guess the developers will be advertising in all the real-estate publications. Selling condos is a very competitive business to be in right now. Condos are being constructed everywhere […]

Thunder Bay – Joe Bova Approved
Read full article here. 28 units sold already? Really? Interesting but I don’t believe it unless the developers and contractors are buying them hoping to sell them later, which is very possible.

Thunder Bay – Tornado Medical Systems
I had my Thunder Bay Bullshit meter test out the explanations by Tornado Medical Systems CEO Stephan Larson recently. What I found was that the meter was well into the BOVA while he did his ‘splainin’ as to why the company had to close shop and sneak quietly out of the city without telling a […]

Thunder Bay – Monorail
I know. Its simple idea. A classic Simpson episode that comes to mind immediately whenever someone starts talking light rail in the City of Thunder Bay. I’m a supporter of public transit. The train idea is stupid. We did have streetcars way back when. Those tracks are still being ripped up in the downtown north […]
