1. Can anyone familiar with logistics comment on the Shuniah post?
Original title:Anyone familiar with logistics who can comment on this Shuniah posting?
Post summary:I am considering a career in logistics and found the project coordinator listed below. It seems like a challenging job where you wear many hats, so you can gain valuable experience. Location: Shuniah, near Thunder Bay. Do you think $27-29/hour is enough for a single person living alone? I have no experience working or living in Northwestern Ontario. I am a job seeker and not affiliated with this opportunity. Job summary: We are looking for a highly organized and versatile person...

I was considering pursuing a logistics career and came upon the project coordinator listing below. Seems like a challenging job where you'd wear many hats, therefore gain valuable experience. Location: Shuniah near Thunder Bay. Do you suppose the $27-29 / hour range is sufficient for a single person living on their own

- Absolutely enough for one person, but considering that my current logistics job pays much less than the responsibility and skills required at entry level, if you are looking for labor, you would need to raise the wage to at least the 30s to find someone truly qualified and committed, especially given the serious mismatch between workers' skills and the skills required for local jobs in this market. I wouldn't say no, but I also wouldn't say you would enjoy the lifestyle that the wage here can actually afford. Tune.
EN: Definitely sufficient for a single person but considering my current logistics job pays just a touch less than that for significantly fewer responsibilities and skills at the entry level, if you're looking for labour you - There aren't many towns near Thunder Bay, and the cost of living varies greatly. Which town is it?

- URide now permanently takes over TBay. Come on Thunder Bay, you can do better than Aldo Ruberto!
EN: URide taking over TBay for good now. Come on Thunder Bay, you can do better than Aldo Ruberto! - Is this the Aldo who got his sign on the strip club for unpaid bills? If so, did he pay the bill? How can we trust someone who doesn't pay for strippers?
EN: Is this the same aldo who made it onto centerfolds sign for not paying his tab. If so has he paid his tab? How can we trust someone who doesn't pay his stripper tab? - The next mayor will win with 14.6% of the vote. At this point we need ranked-choice or runoff voting.
EN: The next mayor is going to win with like 14.6% of the vote. We need either a ranked ballot or run-off voting at this point. - What a fool. This guy thinks a hundred million is a billion.

3. North Stars hockey
Original title:North Stars Hockey
Post summary:As someone who doesn't like hockey, I think the North Stars are a local team that plays against neighboring cities in the region. Like Dryden, Kenora, etc. How does this league work? How are these guys traded to other places in the province? I'm really curious because I thought they were all local players. https://www.tbnewswatch.com/local-news/north-stars-deal-bertolin-brothers-in-separate-trades-12645992 *Edit: added link.

As someone who doesn’t follow hockey, I thought the North Stars were a local team who played around the area with neighbouring cities. Like Dryden, Kenora and so on. How does this league work? How are these guys traded to other parts of the province? I’m genuinely curious as I thought they were all local players. https

- Generally, they are traded for cash (player development fees), although sometimes there are player trades across leagues. Many Thunder Bay players play Junior A hockey elsewhere in the country (better quality hockey); some come back and dominate in the SIJHL, while they might be third line in the MJHL. There are many out-of-town players in the SI. It's a pay-to-play league.
EN: They get traded for cash (player development fees), generally, though sometimes cross-league player trades happen. Lots of Thunder Bay players play in junior A leagues elsewhere in the country (better quality hockey); so - Oh, so the teams aren't really trading actual players, basically kids. But parents more or less pay for their kids to be 'traded' hoping to become better players and join uh, the equipment league?
EN: Ohhhh so it’s not like the team is trading actual players, basically the kids. But the parents are more or less paying to have their kids “traded” in hopes of becoming a better player and jointing eh rig leagues?

Original title:Aldo Roberto is running for mayor.
Featured comments:
- He has no insight and no vision. Go back to being a barber. Uneducated.
EN: He has no insight and no foresight. Go back to being a hairdresser. No education - Yeah, great. Just what we need. Another person splitting the vote, and another conservative. After people have been crying for new blood, I wouldn't be surprised when he gets elected.
EN: Yeah great. Just what we need. Another person to split the vote and one of the old guard. Won't shock me when he gets voted in after people crying about needing new people all this time. - Is that the guy who didn't pay the strip club bill?
EN: Is that the guy who didn't pay his centerfold tab? - The day he announced his run, they were burned down. Coincidence? I think not!
EN: And they burn down the day he announces his candidacy. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!

6. Who sells electric scooters in town?
Original title:Who sells E Scooters in the city?
Post summary:Yes, I've already Googled it. I found only a few that actually sell online. Where is there a physical store that sells scooters? Looking for an adult one, nothing fancy. It's a long walk from the nearest bus stop to where I work. Edit: I just realized that electric scooters are technically illegal to ride on public roads. I see dozens of people riding them every day. How often are riders stopped by police?

10. Cell phone providers
Original title:Cell Phone Provider
Post summary:Wondering what cell phone provider most people use! I'm with Bell, but lately I've found the service in this city is crap. I was with Bell before, everything was fine, then I switched to Koodo, and I only got one bar everywhere, even though it's the same Bell network, and then I switched back to Bell, and still only one bar everywhere! Does anyone else find the Bell network providers' service terrible? Is most people using Tbaytel? I haven't found a good deal on Tbay.
