Why are so many people still living in Thunder Bay? Is fur trading still hot over there?

:lmao:

At first I kind of arced up reading your comment but it's so true. Why ARE they still living there? It's freezing cold most of the time, industry has tanked. But I bet if I'd stayed there I'd think I have an awesome life. Not hard to be a part of the 1% when you're surrounded by over privileged ppl you've known since kindy and Indian reservations.

The ones who are say 25+ though will never leave. I find it creepy when my friends are now living as the adults in their parents' homes and the parents jet off to FL or New Mexico for 10mths of the year. I got a lot of flack when I had my kid because I didn't take out an ad i the Chronicle Journal... and I was like my parents are dead, I have no siblings, my family and friends have either met him already in person or have spent too much time with him on Skype... yet I'm a bitch for not declaring his birth in a newspaper of a city I hadn't lived in for 10yrs at that pt? Who would care? But then again I miss going to our cottages and driving across the border to the casino before we had ours and knowing that wherever I went in a city I'd know someone and feel ok. It's an amazing place as a Canadian experience I think... I'm just too far removed from it now.
 
Wiki said it transitioned to a "knowledge economy", which would be cool, except that in Canada this merely means that you're artificially sustained by ungodly amounts of public funding and thus are not subjected to basic economic principles like supply and demand, or more generally, to common sense.

Fok a bunch of Thunder Bay-minus-Oksana. :jerk:
 
Says the guy from the province that is the most artificially sustained by ungodly amounts of public funding in Canada.


Well played, monsieur.

I've never heard of a knowledge economy. I don't quite get it. And tbay + knowledge seems a bit silly. I guess that's because they got the medical school?

Growing up my family and their friends were seen as very white collar because they held 'professional' jobs. But in a normal city they'd just be normal I think. At the time tbay was very blue collar - most people worked at the paper mill or at least in a union of some sort. Obviously you need brains to do those jobs too but you didn't need to go to school. To think of Thunder Bay as a knowledge whatever seems quite laugable. But I feel guilty thinking that too.

Some day if you and E want to do a crazy road trip, head up there. It really is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been and the people are quite amazing. But for about 30 reasons I'd never recommend anyone live there full time. Summer, yes, if you're ok financially. But not full time or if you're a bit struggling for money. Come to Australia before ever living there.

Hunters are readying their bows and arrows for the first deer hunt within Thunder Bays city limits and most residents arent complaining.

An influx of deer living in the city over the past few years led to daily collisions between motor vehicles and Bambi, more bear and wolf sightings and fears of ticks and lime disease.

The city didnt want to cull the deer or feed them fertility drugs, so council sanctioned an urban deer hunting season to try to control the problem, said Ron Bourret, the citys manager of bylaw enforcement.

From Sept. 1 to Dec. 15, people with valid hunting licenses will be allowed to use cross bows, compound bows, recurve bows and long bows to hunt deer on private property in the citys rural and semirural areas.

Guns are still forbidden.
