1. Census （ 232 ｜ 64 ｜ 84）
Original English title:census
Post summary:R/thunderbay is probably the least toxic public social media forum we have, so thanks to everyone on this post for being good people. I've started pushing far-right stuff on my feed about not filling out the census as a counter to Carney. Can we kindly agree to bring it up to people in our daily lives to encourage them to fill it out? Thunder Bay doesn't get enough funding, forgotten by Queen's Park and Ottawa, can't afford another decade of improper construction

- Having these libraries will be fined $500, which can be deducted from your paycheck. Smart. Also, if you don't fill it out, your community's funding for roads and healthcare could be reduced. At both provincial and federal levels. We're already struggling with undercounting. But yeah, let's make it worse. (43)
EN: Owning the libs to incur a $500 fine that can be garnished from your wages. Smart. Also, if you don't fill it out, there could be less money for roads and healthcare for your community.

EN: Have none of you guys filled out a census before? They are all pretty standard questions. - Yes, you should fill out the census, but stop labeling everything as 'far-right' just to dismiss people. You call them weirdos, but I see a lot of people struggling with the affordability crisis and desperately wanting to be heard in Ottawa. Abolishing the census isn't a good way to do that. I hope for constructive discussion from both sides, but today we're all full of hate for our neighbors. (6)

You call them wackos but I see a lot of people who are struggling with the affordability crisis and are desperate to - Just want to note this takes 5 minutes. If people are hesitating because they think it's a census from years ago and it's very detailed, that's not the case. Please don't let that be your reason for not filling it out! (8)

EN: Yes, freeze-thaw cycles absolutely make cut lines in a square all the time. - You guys should check out Sherwood. It's definitely running at its worst, and it's very short. (5)
EN: You guys gotta check out Sherwood. It’s gotta be in the running for worst, and it’s pretty darn short. - That's not even a pothole anymore. It's a rim destroyer/lawsuit, and the cut should be heated and filled immediately (4)

- Peak entitlement. 'How dare emergency services inconvenience me?' Do you think they close streets for no reason? Maybe it's some kind of emergency? But of course, keep an officer away from handling any situation to give you explanations and directions for your Mother's Day brunch. (23)

6. Restaurants that take orders via text. （ 12 ｜ 8 ｜ 2）
Original English title:Restaurants/Eateries that do orders via SMS.
Post summary:Hey folks, just wanted to reach out to the community again to see if I can gather some info on places in town that accept orders via text/SMS. From the start, I've tried to include this info on my website, but it's not always front and center, and I think this might be more of a word-of-mouth situation. If anyone here regularly orders from their favorites via text, let me know (and confirm if the number is different from the regular voice line!)
