Howie Mandel meets his giant foam doppelgänger in North Bay
6I'm one of the ones that like it. That is wonderful you put yourself out there. The things you have done and the people you meet by just doing your art. I take pleasure seeing what is new. Going to have to take a ride down Cassels to see Howie. Hope you break some records.

BREAKING Province seizes control of troubled Near North District School Board
38It honestly feels like every week there’s another mess coming out of North Bay. From the city hall fiasco, to the issues with the NBMCA, to the NBRHC job losses, and now the province stepping in to take control of the NNDSB — it’s exhausting and embarrassing.How are citizens supposed to trust leadership when every major institution in this city seems to be falling apart at the same time? It’s no wonder we struggle to attract new businesses, real tourism, or even keep our population from shrinking. People want to live in a place that functions — not one that makes headlines for all the wrong reasons.Something has to change. We deserve accountability, competence, and a city that actually works for the people who live here.

5Dan- best of luck running for mayor. Integrity is a prerequisite which our current mayor lacks. Your house is always eye catching!

31More junk added to the eyesore. Is that a real fire hydrant almost blocked off by junk? If so I am pretty sure all fire hydrants and on CITY property is that is the case why is he being allowed to display his junk on CITY property?

31If you like it you like it if you don’t you don’t. I imagine the people whose property value has gone down or been encroached on by your ahem “art” don’t like it. You literally have cost people their properties and mental health. You’re abrasive and entitled. A legit eyesore for everyone, especially those who have windows facing you. Buy property outside of town and create a whole world of your art.

Near North Board producing 'horrific results' says education minister
27Were you MIA all these years Calandra? Should we be thanking the former supervisor who is also MIA for getting your attention?These results are not new!. The Ontario government felt it was necessary (popularity votes) to enforce a new curriculum to elementary students which focused on gender identity , transgender, or becoming a “cat” if they wished. It was obvious that this was going to take away from something. Ie Math, English. There is only so much time in a day. And so, here we are! It took for a supervisor who worked in an empty building for years and is now MIA or maybe not, to bring to the minister of education that our kids are not learning Math and English. But they understand it’s ok to take a 15 min break to lick their paws. So, don't act like you’re surprised that kids are failing.

271/ What happens if there is a fire at this place? I doubt if the fire department could rescue the occupants and keep the fire from rapidly spreading to nearby dwellings. 2/ What happens if there is a bad wind storm? The injuries to people and damage to nearby properties would be catastrophic. Given the safety implications there is no way this should be allowed by the City. The City is quick to control chicken coops, backyard family fires, & snow removal yet they allow this. Surely the City would responsible if there are injuries or damages by turning a blind eye to this situation.

5You were fed propaganda, Irene. Nowhere in any school in any location are students being taught how to become an animal. And if you think age appropriate discussions about gender identity is a bad thing, then you're just behind on the times.Adding something like that to a curriculum will not take away from core subjects. It would most likely fall under an "elective" style of class like art, music, or PE and therefor alternate with the other electives in a schedule that focuses on the core classes. If you don't understand why gender identity might be a good thing to talk about, you should do some research and discover that transgender students are at an increased risk of suicide. It only takes one adult who accepts the trans student to significantly lower the risk of attempting suicide, imagine how much it can be lowered if there's an entire community and safe space for them in their daily life.

All area school buses cancelled today
15It has been quite a few years that I have had to take the school bus however my memory hasn't left me as of yet. I don't ever remember having bus cancellations like there is today. It just didn't happen. Secondly if the weather is this bad that buses can't safely bring children to school then I wonder why we leave it open for other sources of transportation to bring our children safely to school as they are kept open. I don't disagree that our weather conditions can be more than challenging at times and there are days it should be cancelled. I just feel it's just way too often. If I could provide a suggestion on "snow days" I would recommend that whatever snow days are used through the winter, they should be turned into summer days at the end of the year, so our youth are educated safely and then there isn't any missed classes because of old man winter.

22Bravo, maybe some other Ministry’s should follow suit, I know of a few places that have "deep-rooted dysfunction and mismanagement that have eroded public confidence," here in the North Bay Area

22It would appear that he is exempt from bylaws. He had a trailers full of junk and an old motor home parked on McPhail street for the entire summer and even after overnight parking bans came into effect on November 1.
