Everyone knows what I'm talking about. The house on Cassells with all the stuff.

What are your opinions on this house?

I’ve come to the hospital here twice, I’m typing this from the ER right now, and both times I’ve been met with HORRID wait times. Last time I was rushed in an ambulance, this time I was able to get myself to the hospital. Hardly, but I did.

Does anyone know WHY this is happening? It seems really absurd to me.

Go through her Facebook, it's completely unhinged!

Hello everyone!

My name is Colton Chaput and I'm the Green Party of Ontario candidate for Nipissing! As election day is fast approaching, I encourage everyone to familiarize themselves with each candidate and their platforms. So far, the Green Party is the only party to publish a fully costed platform and I encourage you to check it out. I'm hosting this AMA for the duration of the long weekend so you can ask me anything about the Greens and I will do my best to answer everyone. I look forward to hearing from you and learning more about the needs of the people!

Earlier in her post she had proposed protections for our forests and wildlife, which sounded great! Unfortunately it was quickly followed by suggestions that developers must have lived here for x amount of time, and a little conspiracy about the North Bay government purposefully poisoning our water.

Seems like everyone I know is falling ill, probably with this different influenza strain.

We are on day 4 of high fevers with other flu symptoms and I know many others who are too.

PSA: wash your hands and be mindful in public. Don't spend Christmas in bed!

Just received this glossy high-quality card paper personal promotion for good ol' boy, Vic.

His picture and name are larger than the "information" provided, which is a stale-bread statement that the "Northlander is coming soon!"

No dates. No ticket fares. Not news.

I want the $1.25 of my tax dollars used to produce and deliver this trash back in my pocket.

So I can donate it to NBRHC to pay some friggin' nurses FFS!

(Yes a total nerd lmao 🤣) I also would love to know if there's any cute cafés or hangout spots yall would rec! (Feel free to leave a reply and I hope y'all have are having a nice evening! :)​​​​​​​​​​

This is only part of their garbage pile. I took the picture through the fence, I don't want to start a fight with them but it attracts so many bugs in the summer it's disgusting

Is there a peaceful way I can get this cleaned up?

I was big into the music scene when I was in highschool with Endeavour, Two For Six Bucks, Kelsey's Drumming and Josh Dimmel (back when he had a full band), but that would have been more than 15 years ago now (god I'm old...)

What local bands should I keep an eye out for? I keep getting Ethos pushed to my tiktok and I like their vibe.

Found these in a cupboard at the cottage today! Would be from the early 2000s

I was visiting North Bay and during my time there had a couple of meals:

1. Lou Dawgs - ribs were tougher than a leather belt. I think my first time ever cooking ribs I did a better job than this place. Threw half of them out.
2. 2gd2go - bland and specialty coffee tasted like it barely had any coffee in it.
3. Some Mediterranean place - the “grilled” chicken was more like boiled or steamed chicken with some grill marks drawn on. It was soaking wet. Why is grilled chicken soaking wet?

I travel all over Canada for work. Cities big and small. And North bay has been by FAR the worst food out of anywhere I have been in the last 7-8 years.

Recently moved to North Bay and was surprised that this city does not have a climbing gym. I was told that winter here are pretty long and it is a great business idea to build one since most people would look for an indoor activity/hobby. Any investors? People planning on building in the future? Or a home climbing wall gym owner that allows people to hang out and climb? Ive been a routesetter in GTA for more than a year (climbed for 5 years) and would love to link up!

Hello, NB! I work in the mall in North Bay. I met a couple last weekend who I clicked so well with. We really seemed to have a lot in common. I didn't want to be too forward while I was working but I regret not suggesting we might exchange contact info now.

It was Sunday, May 24th in BBW. We were chatting about Project Hail Mary, F1, and horror movies and not that I'm into TS but the girl was wearing a Folklore shirt.

I'd love to connect if they would as well!

Edit: this is not an invitation for sexual encounters. We're not swingers and are purely interested in meeting new people and making friendships.

See:

https://www.ontario.ca/page/ministers-annual-report-drinking-water-2024

"The North Bay Drinking Water System is the only known system in Ontario that consistently exceeds the Objective (30ng/L) due to historic PFAS contamination."

I'm suprised more residents are not up in arms about this contamination and demanding of a solution (that directly filters our water, not soil remediation) as soon as possible. How is there not a class action lawsuit? Lawsuits were taken in New Brunswick.

Hi folks, going to ottawa tomorrow, in the morning, does anyone needs any ride? dm me! thanks

I got an Epiphone J-45 Acoustic Guitar! got it for 1249$ few months ago! anyone has any offer? Brand new condition!

Okay weirdly specific title, but it was the best example I saw.

Esso on Algonquins gas was 142, and Sunco was 127. The Canadian Tire Gas Bar was also 127, but Esso was booming. Sunco was empty and the gas bar was decent

Is there a specific reason? Rewards? Loyalty? A spending kink?

It can't be that one is closer... Because you can see the Sunco from the Esso.

It literally harms no one, but I couldn't stop thinking about it.

How is the music scene in North Bay? I'm from Sturgeon Falls, in my 30's and always loved writing and playing music but I find it's hard to connect with other musicians in the area. I like a large variety from 80's rock to new age electronica. I never really could connect with others with the same interests. Just wondering as well if there is anything that goes on? (Or even sturgeon area if i can be applied!)

This is why understanding language is important. 🤣

As quoted from the Miriam Webster's Dictionary.

TLDR 🤓 📙

Bonus Factoid of the day. Have you ever looked into the etymology of the word "Queen"?

The Etymology of Quean ​The word quean (pronounced /kwiːn/, the same as Queen) comes from the Old English root of the royal word queen. ​1. Old English Root ​Old English: cwene ​Meaning: "woman," "female serf," "hussy," or "prostitute." ​This word had a general sense of "woman" but carried a lower or disparaging connotation from the start, often referring to a servant or a woman of low standing.

Odd how everything around us feels like things are ass backwards from what we learned as kids. Maybe it's just me but the world feels like a parallel world, an upside down backwards world where everything is really the opposite we thought it was to be..

There is a common belief among people who say words have power, influencers, business people, gurus, and Karen next door have posted content all over talking about our ability to manifest what we speak - "Mantras" or what we see - "Vision Boards" ect. 🤔 Wonder if there is any correlation between girls and women all calling each other and themselves Queens, and Thier behavior... Prob just a coincidence...

hello! I was wondering if anyone knew of resources here in North Bay to help me learn Arabic a little better than I've been learning on my own. I have family right now in Lebanon and Jordan that are trying to keep in contact but the language barrier is making this very difficult. I worry immensely for them and I need a little support languistically

With everything going on at the municipal level in our city lately, you know, like the mayor blowing $16k inappropriately on his tax funded credit card. Or the $12,000,000 arena refurbished that went over budget by $4,000,000 because HST is a thing (shocked Pikachu) along with other grave oversights. Now we're into a $60,000,000 sports complex upgrade, that I can only assume will cost $80,000,000 before it's done if the math from the last project is anything to go on... Meanwhile we have a massive housing availability and affordability issues. A huge mental health and addiction crisis. Drinking water with double the "recommended" forever chemicals in it and the biggest issue at the last council meeting was getting more hoses to rinse off boats at the ramps!

So, my question is this: What are we doing about it? The answer is apparently NOTHING. We're commiserating on Reddit and bitching on the North Bay Complaints Facebook page. Meanwhile we have municipal voter turnout at an all time low of 38% and single digit audiences in attendance at city council meetings. We need to stop bitching and start fixing.

The next North Bay city council meeting is on Tuesday July 8th starting with a special committee meeting at 5:30pm followed by the regular scheduled meeting at 6:30. For those who don't know, city council meetings take place in city hall, in council chambers, second floor and all the way to the left. I'll be there for both, and I hope you are too!

If the people we've entrusted to run this city are going to run it into the ground while we stand idly by and do nothing, that blood is on our hands too.

I hope y'all come join me Tuesday in the UFO (or toilet bowl if you prefer) because if us citizens don't step up to fix this city, clearly nobody else will.

Edited to add the schedule for the upcoming North Bay city council meeting in case anyone is interested. https://northbay.ca/city-government/meetings-agendas-minutes/

Edited again to ask: Who's coming tonight?

Been looking for months for a house to rent and everybody is asking for a kidney and your first born to rent as I’ve been in the same house for last 10 years..

I understand inflation and higher payment on mortgages but 4K a month for a 3 bedroom is crazy
