- A big part of it is safety. Unfortunately, corner stores have full-time security guards during the day, and I wouldn't even think of a 24-hour pharmacy in this town. Because of the zombies, Tim Hortons locations have had to close to customers. 24-hour retail isn't a right, it's a privilege, and Thunder Bay has lost that. (13)
EN: A big part of this is security. It's so bad you have full time guards at corner stores in the daytime, I would not even think of an all night drug store in this town. Tim Hortons locations are having to close to in perso - I hate having nowhere to buy stuff in the middle of the night. I work shifts, so I often go to Metro after work to buy groceries. Honestly, it's ridiculous that we don't have a 24/7 pharmacy. We're not like a town of 5,000 people. Maybe Janssens or Oak will see this gap and open something. (11)

Honestly, it's ridiculous that we don't have a 24/7 pharmacy. It's not - Before COVID, we used to have lots of places open 24 hours. Thunder Bay used to never sleep between 24-hour Macs, Robins, Tims, McD, Golden Bakery, and Shoppers. I'm sure I missed some. But you could hang out lazily at 4 AM and buy stuff before going to bed at night (9)
EN: Pre-covid we used to have a bunch of 24hr places. Thunder Bay used to never sleep between the 24hr Macs, Robins, Tims, McD, Golden Bakery, and shoppers. I'm sure I'm missing a few. But, you could wander around at 4am in - I was going to say the Shopper's on McIntyre is 24 hours. Is it now midnight?? (9)

- The charge is against the company that forged the person's license, not the driver. If they charged the driver, it's like arresting a drug user without even looking at who imported the said drugs into the country (9)

Original title:Hidden Gems that isn't food?
Post summary:Hello! I'm traveling in Ontario and I'm so excited to visit Thunder Bay this September! It'll be my first time, but unfortunately I only have a few days to explore. I already know I want to see Ouimet Canyon, Kakabeka Falls, and the Persian cat! I'm wondering if you'd recommend any local hidden gems I should check out that aren't restaurants or some type of food? Also, I heard I can visit a few amethyst mines. I don't have mining

Also, if you're going to Ouimet Canyon/amethyst mine, if you don't want to hike, you can also stop at Sleeping Giant and visit the 'Thunder Bay Lookout'. (8)
EN: You could check out our botanical Conservatory. Also if you're going out to Ouimet Canyon/Amethyst Mine you could also stop at Sleeping Giant and do the "Thunder Bay Lookout", if you don't want to hike. - Fort William Historical Park is a great place to spend a fall afternoon. I like going in the fall because it's less busy, and the college/university-age staff who stay after summer break are usually very enthusiastic about taking you on a good time. (8)

I like going in the fall because it's way less busy and the university/college aged staff they keep on after the summer are usually really keen to s - The Wolf River Falls Trailhead in Dorion is one of my all-time favorite spots. It takes a bit of a hike to get there, and sometimes the road is rough, but if you're into that kind of thing, it's definitely worth it! I live in Nipigon, and we have some nice hiking trails too!

Original title:Full G Test in Thunder Bay – Tips and common routes?
Post summary:Hi everyone! My mom is taking her full G test at the local DriveTest center next week, and she's starting to get pre-test jitters. For those who've recently taken it: - What routes did they take you on? - Are there any 'traps' or tricky spots around town to watch out for? I'd love to help her prepare so she can go in confident. Thanks in advance for your help!

- If Giselle is your tester, immediately cancel and rebook. Repeat until you don't get Giselle. (10)
EN: If Giselle is your tester, walk out immediately and book again. Repeat until you don’t get Giselle. - Check your mirrors very frequently from left to center to right, like every 15 seconds. I failed the first time because I didn't do it often enough. My friend did too. If she does fail, hopefully not, you can book a one-hour driving lesson tailored for the G test. Before I retook the test, I had one with a driver or young driver, can't remember, who took me along the exact route taken during the test and told me what I needed (11)

The route was very simple: DriveTest center - Victoria Ave via Waterloo - Edward St - Arthur St - Highway 61 - Harbour Expressway exit - Memorial - test center! They start by checking lights, defrost buttons, etc. I'm not sure if they ask you to show them, but my instructor was happy to check all of them personally! Your mom (5)

Original title:Help Finding a Rental
Post summary:Sorry, I'm reposting this because my previous post title was misleading, but my boyfriend and I are moving to Thunder Bay for his education at Lakehead University and for my work. We'd ideally like to move in May or June, so I've been watching Facebook Marketplace for a while. Our budget for a one- or two-bedroom apartment is ideally in the $1600 range! We're coming from the GTA, a 14-hour drive, so viewing places is pretty hard. Many places on Facebook have 1. no reply or open

- As far as I know, some decent places are asking $1600 for a bachelor. A one-bedroom might cost a few hundred more... and a two-bedroom a few hundred more again. (13)

Eventually I gave up and just moved, staying in a hotel/short-term rental until I found a place. I had the most luck getting replies on Kijiji and RentPanda. Unfortunately, I agree with another commenter – finding a 1-bedroom at around $1600 with utilities, parking, and laundry in the unit (or on site) will be a challenge (7)

Post summary:Ode to @chelley2036 I know a girl who has a Boston girl named Daisy, and I'm telling you now, this chick is crazy. She demands you be honest, open, and responsible. But all these demands only apply to me. I have to admit she led me on an adventure, but let me tell everyone, this girl is a mess. Diabetes, kidney failure, and pancreatic cysts, and that's not all, it's actually a long list. Diabetic neuropathy can be a big deal. But so is undiagnosed subclavian disease

Original English title:“Neighbour Spoofing” Phone Scam
Post summary:Just a reminder to be wary of phone scams. I've had some local friends mention this, so it's always worth reviewing. This scam is called "neighbour spoofing" and it uses technology to display the local area code and the first three digits of your own number, making the call seem familiar. Scammers do this via VoIP to increase the likelihood you'll answer, often impersonating trusted entities to steal personal or financial information. Don't answer: Tr
