Picture from ShonTron on Urban Toronto showing demolition work happening at the site after 3+ years of fencing off the space and no progress.
2 Towers (47,35 storeys) shown in the picture gallery are planned for the site.
The dilapidated building has been the biggest eyesore of the city.
I have a 3 ton unit for my home that is original from 2009. Few days ago I tried to turn it on for the first time this year after winter but the outside unit wouldn't turn on. The furnace blower runs but the outside fan and compressor does not.
I called this HVAC guy from Kijiji. He charged me 50 bucks for initial diagnosis. After he spent sometime at the outside unit and the furnace panel, he said that the high voltage current was flowing to the outside unit which he was about to run with bypass. But the low voltage current was not passing through so the ac unit needs a new PCB and another component I don't know the name off. The issue then was that the keeprite model on the side plate has worn off with age and he took two days to try to find the right parts. Today he called me and suggested that he thinks he has the right part but it's not guaranteed to work. The parts alone will cost 200 but the supplier will not return them in case they are not compatible.
Does this sound reasonable or am I being scammed?

Hey all!
Just moved to Brampton this year to be closer to work. My company had announced that they are relocating their Brampton facility, offering jobs at other facilities but they are too far. The move happening later in the year.
The City of Brampton had a job posting for pretty much my exact position (which is already in a niche industry). It would be exactly what I need - A step up in my career (niche industry like i said - hard to come by), a very close commute (i live in downtown Brampton) and a job I know I would love. Since it’s a niche industry I feel I would be a perfect candidate who knows their stuff.
I am feeling anxious about it since it would be such an amazing opportunity at the perfect time since my company is relocating. Everything lines up for it.
I understand the City takes a while, but i’m feeling anxious about it since I don’t want to miss this awesome opportunity. Any advice on how to deal with this or how to better my chances?
I reached out to the hiring manager to learn more about the role but no response. P.S. if anyone would be willing to vouch for me I would genuinely buy you a steak dinner!! (Joking but also not joking)
Thanks for the help Brampton!
I need to vent because trying to park at the Brampton Business Centre plaza (7900 Hurontario) gives me insane anxiety. Every single time I come here for appointments, it takes 15 to 20 minutes of circling just to find a legal spot.People are getting so desperate that they are literally inventing their own parking spots, blocking active driving lanes, and just abandoning their cars. I literally had to take a photo of someone who just left their vehicle in a completely made-up spot today because they clearly gave up looking.We are seeing this bottleneck happen across so many plazas in Brampton lately. My stress levels are maxed out before I even walk through the door.Is it just awful site design by the developers, or are people just completely giving up on basic driving etiquette because the city approves layouts that can't handle the traffic? Has anyone found a secret trick for parking here, or do we all just suffer together?
I survived a boat, confessed my darkest secret, told the truth, and watched the world burn.

Hi folks 👋 How are you doing?
Does anybody know any good cafe where i can shoot my content? I don’t wanna bother any other customer there but also want to shoot my talking head video at public place. Georgetown has many Cafes but not sure if they allow shooting videos.
Please recommend me 😊
This limited time offer and being i havent really went maybe 1-2 times i dont know what this means. Tried calling but straight to voicemail
Anyone know what happened at Clark/West Drive yesterday. My partner dropped me off at 5pm for work and until I finished my shift at 1am the road was closed off with police blocking it and around 4 police cars there.
This post is to inform residents in our community as to what is happening in our city for the past 2 years at certain outdoor festivals.
This is meant to be an informational discussion to identify future risks, stay safe and watch out for crowds of unruly youth, many of whom are from neighbouring cities acting as agitators.
Canada Day 2024, 2025. Jambana 2025 and now Victoria Day 2026 have been impacted.
Canada Day 2026 is coming soon, and many of us just want to enjoy the day safely as we have for decades before this recent trend. I want residents to be vigilant of these crowds and this trend, understanding why it's happening and how we are trying to deal with it.
Yesterday Chinguacousy Park was closed by a planned "Burn Skin" aka Bunskin Day event spread on Tik Tok for several days prior. Random youth across the GTA descend on events, public spaces armed with fireworks to launch at crowds to cause panic, farm engagement for online clout as soon as the sun goes down. A peaceful space full of families becomes a battleground for their own selfish interests.
Some think the thrill of chaos is fun, so they show up to cause trouble while others get clout posting videos of being in a warzone as a form of entertainment. They don't realize or care how dangerous fireworks can be in causing permanent life-altering injuries like hearing damage and dysfunction, blindness and severe burns requiring amputation, injuries from getting trampled by panicked crowds.
Guns and fired shots have recently happened as dangerous horseplay escalates like Jambana last year. Some of these youth have fired back bullets instead of fireworks for deadly outcomes.
I've been caught in the last two Canada days with family in the crowds of these idiots creating trouble when trying to get to a bathroom or purchase food in the park. They often do this in crowded areas full of amenities where collateral damage and trampling risks are maximized. Doing this as night comes upon gives them more cover.
This situation is not unique to just Brampton. Yesterday Woodbine Beach, Ashbridges Bay in Toronto. and Kitchener had similar issues in their cities.
Brampton is a hot spot because of the size of our park and high attendance numbers.
Amusement parks like Wonderland, Wet and wild have similar issues with disruptive youth. This is a GTA wide phenomenon and everyone needs to be vigilant of this at any large gathering.
We all pay taxes for festivals in our city which generates economic benefits for our businesses, attracts sponsorships and provides programming for normal peaceful residents and families. They are essential in creating a vibrant city about to reach a million population.
$200k was approved this year to crack down on Canada Day by beefing up security. We will see how effective this is. 👇

This is the first time something like this has happened on Victoria Day.
I want everyone to see in the video of various online clips the mentality of these youth and avoid these groups for your own safety.
This accident occurred around 7:30am near Mississauga Road and Steeles intersection.
Any details?
A neat idea, spotted in Teramoto Park. You download an app, which then allows you to unlock these cases.
I'm not finding local news about it, so here's CBC Ottawa about the same program in that city: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/ottawa-free-sports-lockers-1.7639559
Has anyone written to their elected rep (not municipal councillors) regarding an issue related to their riding (not personal issue), and had their rep done something or at least raise that question in assembly/parliament?
There are two issues where I strongly feel like reaching out to my MPP/MP.
However, my MPP is Mr. Sarkaria who has the transportation portfolio, and might not care about other issues.
My MP is this young political novice, and I only voted for her only because I wanted Carney to win. Not sure how vocal and effective she is in Parliament
Issue #1 - What is Ford's obsession with alcohol. His maij agenda seems to be making sure people have easy access to alcohol. Now he wants to make sure people are drunk at 4 AM in morning during world cup. Nowhere have I seen him or his buddies raise issue of healthcare funding, public transport or political reforms. Other than booze, his other priorities are cutting powers of Toronto city. No one took fall for delayed Eglinton LRT. How do we make the current government change its focus or at least acknowledge funding issues?
Issue #2 - Privatisation of airports and expansion of Billy Bishop airport. Privatisation is a bad idea as it will lead to monopoly and increased fees for travellers ( example - all airports in India are privatised and held by a single firm). Carney now wants to follow the suit to raise money. As per Twitter, he is also behind the curtains for Billy Bishop expansion.
These are two issues that have long term ramifications, and we need to push back as much as we can. How do we do that?
Tl;Dr - How do we make our voices heard loud and clear without waiting for elections?
Couple of fire people came to our home and handed over the latter for fire safety inspection, does anyone know what it is, what do they check during the inspection, anything I need to aware of ? Did you get the similar inspections letter as well ?
I recently got a job at ttc and needed a ride back home from toronto to brampton around 12 in the night. Please do let me know if you know any contacts for the same.
I would also need a ride to toronto at 1.30 pm in the afternoon.
That Italian Place at Chrysler Plaza is closing their location after 20 years at Williams and Chrysler Dr.
The closure of Stellantis across the street and nearby automotive supply chain caused significant impact to their business with years of uncertainty ahead at this location.
I have no idea where their new location is, I am within walking distance to Chrysler and enjoyed their presence since they arrived. Leaving Bramalea is a blow to our neighbourhood. I hope this isn't a Sabroso situation where they promised they would reopen but changed their minds.
They offered authentic neopolitan pizza, Italian sandwiches, pasta. They have won many awards and featured on You Gotta Eat Here.
There aren't many Italian spots remaining east of the 410 in Brampton, most are concentrated on the west end. I'm hoping they aren't moving too far away.
This is sad news, hopefully they do make a return in Brampton at the very least.
It’s genuinely so hard as a teen to get a job in Brampton like omg.. even when people are “hiring” they take like 4 weeks to get back to you IF they do
also entry level jobs that require years of experience that are clearly catered towards teens… how are teens supposed to get experience if no one is hiring !!
anywhoo if anyone wants to hook me up w a job 😊
Found this paper left on my door. Do you guys think this is justified or just overreacting?
