  3. I am sympathetic to the issues facing Thunder Bay but question the methodology supporting this funding. Trudeau spends for optics and never considers the actual finances. He has no regard for the Canadian taxpayer.

    1. Comments like this irk me to the core. What if your child or family was at risk? Taxpayer dollars seems to be norm in question and seems more important than saving the lives of at risk youth …comments as such is all I ever hear when it comes to issues facing the Indigenous population!! It is rather shameful to hear of your displeasure in the fact that Trudeau looks in regard to at risk LIVES rather than the taxpayer…you cannot put a price tag on that!! I see where priority is with Trudeau’s decision, now where is yours?? Oh yes, with your tax dollars, I get it 😉

    2. I say this with absolute love…. Hopefully that money will not be managed by those in our community who are in the position to be true role models, but instead toil all night drinking and druging and play ganster with those every people they are in fact meant to help. More money isn’t always the answer. A comolete overhaul of our community values in needed.
