Original English title:Anyone know where the bagpipes being played downtown are coming from?

Lake Soups marching off to war once again? Can hear the haggis pips being played, might be drums as well. Not sure if I caught Highland Laddie there because a crackhead was upset and loud about their hoot getting mysteriously wet.

- Tomorrow is Celtic Day at Fort William Historical Park. Probably some pipers doing a bit of rehearsal before the performance.
EN: Tomorrow is Celtic Day at Fort William Historical Park. It could be some blowhards getting a bit of rehearsal in before they perform. - I heard them at the end of July and the second weekend of August, and wondered what was going on then, haha

Original English title:Unsure of City Election?

- I was very disappointed to see the DSSAB CEO's post saying that none of the candidates running for office had reached out about homelessness, yet all the candidates are talking extensively about homelessness.
EN: I was extremely disappointed to see the post from the CEO of DSSAB that said that not one of the candidates running for office had reached out to and yet all of the candidates have been talking extensively about homeless - Not Aldo, certainly not Peng You, and definitely not Rajni. The only vote I'm sure of so far is for Nichols. That said, if I were in the northwest, I might vote for Ungaro. Still, I do hope any of them can communicate with DSSAB.

4. Crazy near miss on the highway
Original English title:Insane near-miss on the hwy
Post summary:Just happened at the intersection of Highway 11 and John St. I was in the left turn lane on John St. The light on Highway 11 had been red for at least 3 or 4 seconds. The vehicles in the advance left turn lane on John Street had a green light and started moving forward. Some idiot in a white pickup with a flatbed trailer flew through the intersection heading north. Two cars in the forward lane had to slam on their brakes. It was as if they didn't notice the red light at all,

- I always check before driving into the Balsam Street intersection onto the highway. A green light doesn't mean you shouldn't keep checking traffic on the highway.
EN: I always check before pulling out onto the highway at the Balsam Street intersection. Green-light doesnt mean you shouldnt still check for traffic on the highway. - I check every intersection. Some idiot ran a red light at the Syndicate intersection heading west chasing Arthur. I was heading north on Syndicate. If I hadn't slowed down a bit to make sure no one was doing that, she would have. Others were stopped at the front of the line (on both sides) and honked. But she didn't notice the red light, she was focused on her phone. That's why I ended up installing dash cams in both our vehicles. She could have killed someone.
EN: I check at every intersection. Some idiot ran the red going west on Arthur at the Syndicate intersection. I was heading north on Syndicate. Had I not slowed down a bit to make sure no one did that, she did it. Others wer - You're right. That's why even when we have the right of way, we need to look both ways and be cautious. I see this kind of thing often. If it's not people casually running stop signs, or turning right without stopping at a red light, then it's deliberately running red lights. I think people just make up their own rules. Stay safe out there!
EN: You’re right. This is the reason why we need to look both ways and be cautious even when we have the right of way. I’ve been seeing stuff like this a lot. If it hasn’t been people rolling through stop signs as if it’s op - The Hilldale/Dawson intersection near Hilldale Church is also terrible. People always run the red light. In fact, just as I was reading this, someone ran the red light at that same intersection. So ridiculous
EN: It’s also bad at hilldale/dawson intersection near hilldale church. People go flying through on red lights all the time. Actually just as I was reading this someone went thru a red on the same intersection. It’s ridiculo
5. Has every bus trip been cancelled?
Original English title:Every single bus is cancelled?
Post summary:I don't know why we aren't burning the oxygen wasted in the transit system, this is ridiculous. Every route on this side of town has been cancelled at least once. Honestly, at this point it's complete incompetence.
English excerpt (verified):
I don’t know why we haven’t fired the waste of oxygen running the transit system, this is ridiculous. Every single route this side of town is cancelled at least once. Seriously, this is straight up incompetence at this point.

7. Long shot: anyone travelling from Thunder Bay to Ottawa/Eastern Ontario?
Original English title:Long shot: anyone travelling from Thunder Bay toward Ottawa/Eastern Ontario?
Post summary:Long shot, but is anyone travelling from Thunder Bay to Ottawa/Eastern Ontario in the next few weeks? I'm trying to arrange ground transport for a larger parrot. Even getting him as far as Sudbury, North Bay, or further southeast/east would help a lot. Timing is very flexible, and I'd be happy to meet halfway and pay for gas/expenses. Someone with bird or animal experience would be especially welcome. I figured it was worth asking before making a 32-hour round trip

Post summary:Cockroaches, the bill was $98.80, I'm pretty sure I got ripped off, there's no way it costs that much, where I went was from the airport to my mom's house. The distance is double and it cost $32.

9. Downtown would be so much cooler if the sidewalks were moats, buildings had their own drawbridges, and the roads were canals.
