Thunder Bay has voted...on the proposed new Multiplex Complex location.

Today TBNewssource ran a poll question on the proposed news Multiplex Complex location. Here are those results below.....will the mayor and council and administration put it elsewhere.....or will they listen to the people.....if it does get build.....and if we can actually afford it vs. spending tax do$$ars on things that are of a much higher priority in Thunder Bay....I and others believe this entire subject matter/issue should be put to the public as a whole in the form of a plebiscite question.!!

Following the latest public meeting on the proposed events centre, 
which location do you think the city should choose?

Airport (10.5 %)  
Innova Park (53.2 %)  
North core (36.3 %)  
Note: These Results are as of 4L30 p.m. today.

Jim's-Top 10 Drawbacks to Working in a Cubicle







10. Being told to "think outside the box" when you're in a
    freakin' box all day long.

9. Not being able to check e-mail attachments without turning
    around to see who's behind you.

8. Cubicle walls do not offer much protection from any kind
    of gun fire.

7. That nagging feeling that if you press the right button,
    you'll get a piece of cheese.

6. Lack of roof rafters for the noose.

5. The walls are too close together for the hammock to work right.

4. 23 power cords - 1 outlet.

3. Prison cells are not only bigger, they also have beds.

2. The carpet has been there since 1976 and shows more signs
    of life than your coworkers.

And the number 1 drawback to working in a cubicle is...

1. You can't walk out and slam the door when you quit.
Well that is it for now, so to all have a great weekend, 
and when you turn out the lights and close that door.
Please take or give some time for thought, 
as to why and for what we were all put here for.

Getting Smaller


There will be fewer seats at future Lakehead University board of governor meetings.

Officials with the university’s board announced a reduction in board members and committees. The board reduced its 30 seats to 17 and committees from 11 to six. The reduction followed a recommendation that fewer members would improve efficiencies.
The board was formed in the 1960s and managed the university as well as strategic planning, capital investments and expansions.

Board chair Colin Bruce said the 13 board members weren’t fired but when everyone’s term is up they will only be looking for 17 members to fill the seats for next year. He said they will use a revised skills matrix to appoint new board members.

Bruce said the board’s size was too large with many members feeling disconnected and inputting little value in committees. The fewer seats and committees mean that board members will be able to act more quickly and provide input in a far boarder ways, he said.

“One of the things we have to do is be numble,” Bruce said. “We have to able to move quickly on decisions and we have to make board members are engaged. That’s very hard to do with 30 board members."

Bruce said they looked at the private and and public sectors and noticed smaller was better. If every member were to talk for 30 seconds at each debate, the meetings would go on for days, he said.

“One of the dangers of having a 30 member board is you have 15 to 20 members who never get the chance to talk,” he said.

He added the bylaw doesn’t go into effect until next fall.

Being different....is a good thing.!


Being different
to have a deficiency
is to fight against the world
do you want to catalog
do you put a label
to say:
are normal
you are crazy
have disabilitiesare perfect
be different is to fight
against prejudice
to have the right
to be just someone ...

This is a real eye opener.....


Is our mayor Hobbs really on top of things as he is expected to be.???
After the events of this week I personally question that he is and with good cause, I emailed him the following concern as noted below....this is my actual email and his reply:

Good afternoon Keith,
There are a number of reports and people I spoke with today stating that there have been significant changes made to the city's deal with the waterfront private developer. These changes be made public?
After all this is our tax dollars paying for this project one way or the other.
Please advise when you have the opportunity too.
Regards,
Jim Gamble

Jim,


They have to be made public. Councilors are going to be briefed on Monday in closed session and the public will be made aware at some point after that. I can assure you that nothing will be withheld from the public.

Keith thanks for your reply....I already know what is going on....so I will wait it out until you have your meeting on Monday and will not say anything to anyone until after Monday has come and gone. It will be interesting to see if the information's match one an other.
Have a good balance of the week.
Sincerely....Jim


Here is my second message to our mayor which I have had no reply what so ever....and the reason why I seriously pose the question....is our mayor really in tune and on top of what is going on within city hall....seeing this is why i say no he is clearly not.!!!

Message to Mayor Keith Hobbs
Keith you told me in your email that this was going to be discussed this Monday, March 5th, 2012 in closed session with all 13 of you there....seems that you have been duped by Tim Commisso...or someone....or I have been duped...your information emailed to me February 29th,2012 is totally wrong.....would you kindly explain why this was not held off until you and all 12 city council members were present to deal with these contract changes....you were out of town as were other city council members at the Good Roads Conference....something is terribly wrong with this entire thing as well as the timing of these events which you can read all about at this link below,please advise your comments.

Entitlement in CANADA




‘Entitlement’ my ass, I paid cash for my social security insurance!!!! Just because they borrowed the money, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout !! Government  benefits, aka free healthcare, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, 20 weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days, now that's welfare, and they have the nerve to call my retirement, an ‘entitlement’ !!!!!!.....scroll down................ 



What the HELL's wrong with us???


WAKE UP CANADA !!!!

Someone please tell me what the HELL's wrong with all the people that run this country!!!!!!

We're "broke" & can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.,???????????


In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti , Chile , and Turkey . And now Khanistan , Pakistan ......home of bin Laden.  Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!!

Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$'s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries!


They call Social Security and Healthcare an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives and now when it’s time for us to collect, the government is running out of money. Why did the government borrow from it in the first place?

 

We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans. 

CANADA: a country where we have homeless without shelter,  children going to bed hungry, elderly going without 'needed' meds, and mentally ill without treatment -etc, etc. 


YET.....................

They have a 'Benefit'  for the people of Haiti ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents, clothes, bedding, doctors, and medical supplies.
 
Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT* gave 'US' the same support they give to other countries. 
Sad isn't it.!!!





Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty is in Thunder Bay today...oh boy what a waste of time he is.!!!





Words of Wisdom....a great read..!


If you don't have anything nice to say... Keep Your Mouth Shut. 
Never pass up an opportunity to shut your mouth.

Compliments Paid... Cost nothing. Pay everyone.

Faith gives you a path... Follow God.
Life is full of hurt, pain and crying.
It will help you appreciate the fun, smiles and love.

Most rules are to protect and keep you safe. 
Follow them.

To double your money... Fold it half and put it back in your pocket.

Don't make an important decision in a moment of passion.

If you make a mistake, own up to it and move on.

If you tell someone you're going to do something... Do it! 
The world is full of people who don't.

Give a smile to everyone you meet.

Never say never.

Give away more love than you take.


Cher the wealth....


Mayor Hobbs has yet to share the wealth of policing experience he promised too during his campaign where he stated he would reduce the crime here in Thunder Bay....we are still waiting..!!!

I wonder ...????
