Global News - Special on Timmins, ON

[hockeydangler9]

Timmins is nice, but I would say Sudbury is way better... We never get booms or busts, because there is a constant demand for nickel in the world.

[ralphyization]

Timmins probably isn't much different than Sault Ste. Marie. We're up when everyone else is down, or we're down when everyone else is, economically, up.... It seems we're SO dependant on resources, though... Still lovin' Northern Ontario, though!

[LDKBBAB]

Timmins sucks ass, it's just a little french shit hole in northern ontario. I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT.

[hopeso]

It's too bad that they didn't do their research more thoroughly. Timmins WAS built on gold and some 40 years ago, we were in a slump. But I started my work career at that time and had NO problems getting a job. Why? The Kidd Creek mine opened, and it's a BASE METAL mine that's STILL in operation.

And yes, gold is up and Timmins IS booming. Timmins has, essentially, everything you could want. A multi screen movie theater, great restaurants, along with the usual cast of fast food places.

[hopeso]

We have one of the best police forces in Canada. Get stopped for any reason and you're treated like a person with courtesy and dignity. We have one of the finest hospitals anywhere, with, (minor exceptions) world class doctors and nurses. I can say from personal experience, the world famous Mayo Clinic is no better and in some aspects, far worse.

[hopeso]

We have a multitude of clubs of all stripes. Any activity you can name, Timmins offers it in spades. Including sports, from hockey, to soccer, to baseball to yes, the best d*mn hunting and fishing you could ask for.

And the people are just the best. We're having a bad blueberry season because of a late frost that killed the blossoms so not much good picking nearby. However, one of the guys at the old Malette Lumber site tipped me off that the berries are to be had down Gibson lake road.

[hopeso]

Also, south of Matheson, down the Watabeag road should net you a couple of baskets in just a few hours. And if you don't feel like picking them, there are always roadside stands that offer fresh picked, NATURAL berries at reasonable prices.

THIS is the kind of community spirit we have in Timmins. Come up and take in the Shania Twain center. YES, Timmins is her home town. She gave a concert some five years ago and it was a blast. And of course, there's the Gold Mine tour.

[beneehall]

Global TV and all mainstream media don't have a clue, do they. "The inevitable day that gold prices drop" What an idiot.

So, look what happened. At the time this video was posted, gold was about 750 dollars an ounce. It peaked at 1256.00 in June, an all time high, dipped a bit and is now at 1234.50

Who writes this stuff? They should be consulting Peter Schiff, Gerald Celente, Congressman Ron Paul, Max Keiser, Jim Rogers, ALL who have called it exactly right for the last ten years.

[cycimian]

@Hammersmashedface09 Yeah i grew up in Shumacher. Peice of shit teachers. Every older kids was a crazed phycopath. WE all had GUNS. But your right as to the douchbags i seen alot of those, But ususaly just plain old scumbags seem to be the norm there.

[regorpapa]

[paulsgirl27]

I absolutely love Timmins. Moved here from Ottawa. The people are so nice.

[pussroks]

[putzylady]

I am from a small town down south and I love Timmins, there is lots to do if your bored. Good kids and good people have fun here, Everyone says hello an still holds doors open for you. Its a great town, If you dont like it the problem is you not us!

[shelterduck]

TIMMINS ROCKS i live in norwood ontario right now its about 10 hours away but i lived in holtyre and was always in timmins

[bigboy693]

For all those ppl saying bad things about Timmins, fuck you! I'm only 13 and, I love Timmins, there's enough to do.

[kolordak]

timmins is a wonder of a town, she,s got a GRAND HOTEL...just like New-York

[santacell]

Horrible, boring city. So many rude people there. You can really tell if the locals have never lived outside of Timmins. They think Sudbury is the "big city". All the kids are punks cause there is nothing to do. Just bush and bears and crappy, seedy taverns with sketchy people inside them. Lots of teenage mothers pushing their kids in strollers with their grubby friends. If I really hated someone and I could make them live in one place for the rest of thier lives...I would pick Timmins.

[4164882150]

I once lived in Timmins some 50 years ago as my Father was Management at Hollinger. When he passed away, we packed up and headed to Toronto with the casket! Timmins can be found on a cow, just under the tail.

None of ever returned, nor ever will.

[YouSmeelLikePoo]

Bitch. I like Timmins. Your standards are too high for here. :)

[kassrocks12321]

Yay uhh. Go Timmins. It's about time we get some recognition. I moved to Windsor for 4 years and the entire time I just wanted to go back HOME. And, here I am. <3.

[emmanlabanane]

thats a lovly place you know...

[g8schartier]

timmins is the kind of place that alot of people love to hate, but once you get used to being bored alot, or having to put 6 layers of clothes on (even in july lol), this place really isn't that bad. You don't have to worry about getting stuck in a traffic jam or waiting 20 minutes in line to use a payphone like in bigger cities and the best part is you don't have to worry about smog only smoke from forrest fires every few years. Everytime I go out of town I can't wait to come back.

[Sukunai]

Ive been in this town for 25 years, and i still love it here...so many nice people...

[carnut76]

I would rather die than to live there again. There is nothing to do or see or experence and it in the fucking woods I lived there for about 10 years. Wish I did not. Timmins is a shit hole and brings out the worst in anyone Stay away!!!!!!!!! I would rather die!!!!!!

[jasonlaroche]

for all those out there that think that timmins is a shitty place because of crime and nothing to do... what's so different about toronto... there's twenty times the crime, fighting, and rape and things to do cost lots of money and most of the time you can't do the activity cause you don't have it. I love timmins.. friends are great and there's a tim hortons coffee every 2 km.. haha

[haydnstrong]

my uncle lived hear his name was roy lucas he was a life long forrester he died about 10 years ago he trusted his monies to the canada bank but they stole much of this money but despite beeing found out they did not return it in full. dont trust the bank canada trust

[killerbreath]

hey dont call my town stupid im realated to the founder dick hole

[Inferningflames]

I hate that place with a big capable H! Their is nothing exiting about timmins for one, no activites which creates all teenagers in this town to start fights for bordom. Really I hope this place becomes place soon..before more problems come along.

[stonej420]

its a nice place to raise a family, but thats about it, as a lived out my teenage life in timmins not much youth activities, everyone I hung out with liked to cause shit...........I still have not graduated, if your not into skiing, snowbording or dirtbiking walking the nature trailsLOL Then stay the hell in school because you'll end up like all the other losers in thit city,,,,,if you love the st.Charles bar here you dont know what im talking about,,be a successful person

[cycimian]

For me i grew up in Shumacher, not even a stones throw from Pete and big brother Frank Maholovich,

We moved to Oakville in 64, Ive been back, Several times, Its home, And although i hate the cold, It beats the supreme shit out of Dayton Ohio where im currently liveing.

[steinber]

i used to live there and I'd rather be dead than return

[liljoey666]

I live there .... lol
