- Please understand that when someone is trying to avoid a pothole, they're not necessarily a bad driver, just trying not to damage their car (33)

Ontario provincial asphalt follows a standardized, high-performance OPSS 310 spec, while municipal (city) asphalt often involves custom non-standard mixes, which adds cost and complexity. Provincial roads prioritize durability for high traffic volumes, while city roads face fragmented standards, increasing project delivery time and repair costs. (21)

EN: Driving is no longer enjoyable in this city, due to potholes. - When I slow down to look for potholes, I beg trucks to stop tailgating and flashing. My small car can't handle hitting a crater-sized pothole at 50. (5)

But people dress up as anything for that, so if you have a suit, you can wear it there! If you see others doing it, maybe more people will join? If enough people join, you can always expand your own events in the future! (6)
EN: To be honest, tbay hasn't had much in terms of fan get togethers/conventions in the past few years. There's Thundercon, and that's about it. But people dress up as anything for that, so if you have a suit, you could wear - When I was a teenager, I knew a lot of people like that, and I beg you to keep looking, Thunder Bay has a decent alternative scene (3)

- It's crazy that the temporary shelter village was pushed away so many times, it didn't even happen, but when a cola distributor wants to build luxury condos, suddenly the town's opinion doesn't matter anymore (11)

EN: Terralux & RVI Group. - a front for organized crime. - Don't be too optimistic. Councillors didn't oppose because there was no reason to oppose. Without studies and site plan control, the government can't answer most of the questions councillors have about the development. This is an election year, support can easily disappear, while opposition is always there. Calgary tried to repeal the low-density comprehensive rezoning to include towns and townhouses less than two years after implementing it, for the same NIMBY reasons we have here. (3)
EN: Don't get too optimistic. Councilors haven't been opposing because there isn't anything to base that opposition on. Most questions councilors have about the development can't be answered by Administration without studies
