2. TBayEats quick update, thanks for all the feedback
Original English title:A quick TBayEats update and thanks for all the feedback
Post summary:Hi everyone, we've been sharing TBayEats here for almost a week now, and we want to thank everyone who checked it out and took the time to share their thoughts. The number of visitors we've received is really encouraging! We truly appreciate it! One thing some people pointed out is the AI-generated food images, which is completely fair. We know people would rather see actual photos of the food they're ordering. Right now, we cover over 2,500 dishes from restaurants around the world

- Could you link to the online images and state that they aren't your own and that their accuracy isn't guaranteed?
EN: Could you not link to the online images with disclaimer that they are not your own and can’t vouch for accuracy? - Hi, thanks for your feedback, we could link to the original sources, but displaying their images directly could raise copyright issues, even with a disclaimer. Some providers like McDonald's and Burger King also restrict deep linking to their content. We're working to respect these restrictions and avoid potential problems.

3. Why is the library on strike?
Original English title:Why is the library on strike?
Post summary:I haven't been following the news lately, other than Waverley closing soon for renovations. Can anyone fill in this sad bookworm? Thanks in advance!

- Management is willing to pay millions for renovations, but not willing to maintain the benefits workers have enjoyed for years (+ sick days, float days, nor give a decent raise). Management claims concessions are necessary, but according to the City of Thunder Bay 2026 budget, the library received a 4.3% increase between 2025 and 2026. Also, the contract expired on December 31, 2025

EN: Thank you for this comprehensive response! - Even though the conservatory is out of his control, the city manager still got an 8.5% raise last year
EN: supervisor at the city got an 8.5 % raise last year dispite having the conservatory takin from his control - Not taking sides, because I know nothing about the strike. But comparing one-time costs to ongoing costs is trivial. One-time costs usually disappear if they aren't spent by year end. The library's budget is $7.5 million (according to Google). 3% of that is $225,000. That's not just $225,000 for one year, it's every year. Again, not saying the workers aren't getting screwed. If the library's budget increased by 4
EN: Not to take a side, as I know nothing about the strike. But comparing one time expenses to ongoing costs are apples and oranges. For one time costs, usually if you do not spend it by year end, it is gone. The budget of t
4. How do Canadians who support reducing immigration view immigrant healthcare workers converting their licences?
Original English title:How do Canadians who favor lower immigration view immigrant healthcare workers converting their licenses?
Post summary:Hi, I'm a healthcare worker from India currently going through the rigorous process of converting my licence to practise in Canada. I see a lot of discussion about lowering immigration levels due to housing and infrastructure strain and a severe shortage of medical staff. For those who support reducing immigration numbers, do you see healthcare workers as a necessary exception, or does that not change your overall view? What do you think of the immigrants you encounter during hospital

- The issue isn't immigration in fields that always have demand, like healthcare. The issue is that the TFW and "international student" programs are being abused and are taking jobs and classroom spots away from born Canadians, because businesses and colleges/universities are greedy and want more money and/or cheap labour. Not to mention the OSAP fraud directly caused by mass immigration that recently drew public attention. We have a huge number of unemployed youth who, because Walmart, Tim Hortons, L

Many TR programs prohibit running. Certain types of TFW workers have very low Cdn/PR turnout, especially agricultural workers. Companies like Loblaws, Walmart, RBC, etc. should be reported when you see LMIA-exempt applications and you know CDNS haven't been hired. And you should report employers paying below minimum wage, regardless of immigration sta

5. Exam proctor??!!
Original English title:EXAM PROCTORS??!!
Post summary:Hey, disaster has struck, because the library is closed I might not have a proctor for my midterm next week. I'm a distance student at Humber Polytechnic, and it's hard to find my proctor, it's still up in the air right now. If anyone knows who else I can ask, or if you're qualified to do it yourself, I owe you my life! I'll definitely pay you! Unfortunately, the college doesn't offer this service right now. I'm so stressed.

8. Story time
Original English title:Little Story Time
Post summary:While driving this morning, someone blasted past me in the school zone on Westgate. This is a totally normal thing, police never go there to stop anyone, so everyone goes through the whole area at 60. This particular specimen was definitely faster than that, weaving between lanes and cars. Well, they got stopped at a red light, and I managed to pull into the lane beside them. When the light turned green, I did a little goblin move, pulled in front of them, and continued at 60 through the normal zone. Oh

11. Engine revving
Original English title:Revving engine
Post summary:A few minutes ago, Mr. Man Bignutz decided to fire up his annoying loud engine on May Street and wake everyone up: I believe they have specialists who can help you with your micro attachment problem. Micro is too generous. Also, I hope when your diarrhea is uncontrollable, your car is parked far from home and no one will let you use their toilet. Asshole. Edit: he's back, speeding through the alley. Someone threw a bike on the road and he ran over it. White lifted Dodge (I think), 4

12. AI restaurants
Original English title:AI restaurants
Post summary:Is there a count of restaurants using AI? I'm thinking about whether to make a list. I know it can be hard for a startup to do its own work, but like... being too lazy to photograph your own food to put on Skip or Uber is crazy.

15. Bridge washing; is it necessary?
Original English title:Bridge washing; is it necessary?
Post summary:Tonight I saw the City of Thunder Bay doing bridge washing on the Arundel Street bridge near Lyon Boulevard. Can someone explain the purpose of why this is a necessary task? How often is this done? I continually chuckle when I see the City of Thunder Bay engaging in the most inconsequential, seemingly unnecessary work. Because when Arthur looks like someone's uncle filling potholes with a hand shovel. In fact, in this twisted city, someone's uncle might be infected

Post summary:I don't really like this place, hearing my American friends who play games online talk about it, but my dad does, he went there and ordered what I think was an Italian club. Note, this is our fault for not asking the price, but there was no price listed, just assumed it was reasonable. He ended up paying $25 for their Italian club, just for thought, it's a bit expensive there
