1. OW spousal support
Original title:Spousal Support on OW
Post summary:I'm currently going through a divorce and on OW. My lawyer mentioned the option of $400 a month for 2 years, or a lump sum of $9000. Does anyone know which is better while on OW? Also read that lump sum payments aren't taxed, right?

I'm currently going through a divorce and on OW. My lawyer has mentioned the possibility of either $400 a month for 2 years or $9000 lump sum. Does anyone which is better while on OW? Also read that their is no tax on a lump sum payment, is that correct?

- Depends on how much other cash you have. With monthly payments, your money doesn't change. For every dollar you receive monthly, you get much less from OW, and it's taxable income. So your monthly income won't make any difference. With a lump sum, you don't pay tax and it doesn't affect your OW payments... unless your bank balance exceeds $1000. Once your assets exceed $10,000, your OW payments could be fully suspended, until
EN: Depends how much other cash you have.. Monthly payments, your money won't change. Every dollar you receive per month, you'll get that much less from OW and it is taxable income. So you won't see any difference in your mo - 400x24 = 9600. So. There you go.

EN: Biaggio Birch birthday party - Someone at Thunder Bay Transit messed up the order for replacement Nova buses. That's how it is, in true Thunder Bay fashion, we plan to pee with the dicks we brought, so to speak. Expect some changes to routes and schedules next month. The main line detour route will have about four-minute headways, and I will modify the main line's distance. Memorial Avenue is under construction to raise the entire area along the vertical axis. During peak hours, this route will be served by 3

Transit is terrible now.

4. We need an orphan land bylaw
Original title:We need an Orphaned Land Bylaw
Post summary:Specifically, I'm talking about the failed Hoito construction site. Not sure what exactly is going on there, but the other day I passed by and they have a faded 2022 building permit still stapled to the fence. No progress, looks like a pile of junk. In a beautiful, walkable area, it's an absolute eyesore, and I believe that's what this space was intended for. Also applies to the remaining arbitrary number of lots on Simpson or elsewhere in the city. Anos

- Yeah, you need to talk to the province about that. Currently, the city has to go through a lengthy provincial auction process to take over the property, and that's only after the landlord has already fallen behind on property taxes. I don't disagree that things should be better, but the city's hands are tied
EN: Yeah you need to talk to the province about that. Right now the city has to go through a lengthy auction process mandated by the province before being able to take over the property, and that's only after the landlord is - The city has a ton of bylaws for much of what the OP suggests. Whether they enforce them, or the owners just absorb them, who knows? But the city can definitely do something. For some reason, they always seem to give in to developers. The admin sets the direction, and council votes don't follow.

They just always see - This is an ongoing court case, and the city has to wait for it to conclude.
EN: It's an ongoing court case, the city has to wait for that to conclude. - The Hoito construction can't proceed until the court case is resolved. Last I saw, if you really want all the details, you can go to the court and check the documents. Basically, the insurance company needs to determine fault for the fire before paying out, and there's a dispute over whether the subcontractor was at fault. Until that's resolved, nothing can happen on the site. The courts are painfully slow.

7. Thunder Bay mayor
Original title:Mayor of Thunder Bay
Post summary:Now that we have quite a few candidates - who should we vote for? Apart from Giertiga and Aldo, I don't know much about these people if he runs. What are the pros and cons of the current candidates? I've read a lot about shady pasts, workplace issues, and even some legal problems. Do these things matter to you when you choose our next mayor?
