Opinion, Dave Dale: Unclench those teeth for a laugh
One quip is about how our mothers used to chastise us if we didn’t finish our plates, saying there were starving kids in Africa or China – and now they just point to the homeless in North Bay.

Opinion:
Dave Dale, Plot thickens on political fronts
The Probity Report was made public this week as we learned the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care approved the $122-million Cassellholme reconstruction and expansion project, despite fairly vigorous objections from municipal partners.

Opinion, Dave Dale: Optics are half the battle … sometimes more

Opinion:
Dave Dale, Main Street a couple bricks short ...
The price tag of the facelift will probably be higher than anyone anticipated, like all the projects conceived before the COVID 19 pandemic. It could be too much to swallow for the 2022 budget.

Opinion, Dave Dale column: Comedy landscape crowded with landmines

Opinion: Dave Dale, North Bay history an interesting distraction
I’m not sure what’s being planned to celebrate the city’s centennial in 2025 but it’s still not too late to mark the 130th anniversary of electing it’s first mayor or the 140th anniversary for the Township of Widdifield in 2022.
