Mayor Boshcoff's comments, though criticized for inaccuracies, reflect a broader frustration felt by many in Thunder Bay.

The County Fair Shopping Centre saw a dilution of its retail appeal with the integration of a library, which did not bode well for its future.

Through all the noise and the chatter it’s hard to understand what the community as a whole really thinks about the new Central Library.

The public needs more than lame excuses and misinformed politicians to help the most vulnerable in the community.

It is time to reject the emotionally informed musings of our mayor; instead, we must take a hard look at what has actually made a difference in other cities, and find out how to apply these strategies to our own.

I know that it is frustrating and challenging for people in our community who run and operate businesses, and residents, to truly understand these complex issues.

Alstom, in Thunder Bay, has the expertise, the facilities, the skilled workforce, and the supply chain. What is missing is a commitment to keep people in Northwestern Ontario working. 

If everyone is worried about the environment then don't build it at all, and play outdoors like every kid did for the first 2,000 years.

I believe that this councillor has gone way too far in making this request just to generate tax revenues.
