If you've ever found yourself stuck in the wrong lane, whether you need to turn left or right, or go straight, your first thought should not be, "Well, I'll just turn/go straight anyway". Especially not at a busy intersection. While other cars are also making the same turn/going straight from the correct lane.

You - you with the Cadillac Lyriq in "Celestial Metallic" - I'm talking to you (but also past and future offenders). I know you had cars coming up behind you and you probably didn't want to hold them up but there was an entire shopping plaza right in front of you - you could have easily turned in there and re-oriented yourself instead of turning left from the middle lane.

Come on people, enough with this stupid shit. Accept the fact that you messed up and go to the next intersection, side street or set of lights. Same goes for anyone who crosses 3 lanes of the highway at the last second because you just realized you're going to miss your exit. Go to the next one and turn around. Your map program will take it from there.

I've driven past this place on Guelph line a few times and it appears to always be packed. Are the deals that good? What kind of stuff do they sell? I've never had time to stop or was going by before/after business hours to find out. Interested to hear others take on this place.

I am buying an EV soon and i got a quote for almost 4k just to install a 240v outlet. Looking for any recommendations from people that had an EV charger installed.

White van totaled, grey sedan(?) hit a pole looks like. Anyone know what happened? Everyone ok?

I have a 14 year old and a 12 year old who want to take the bus to McDonald's.some parents tell me they can ride the bus free but I cant find any info like that online. This is what it says:

Youth: 13 to 19: $2.00. Youth ride for free on weekdays after 20 taps in a calendar month and ride free weekdays after 6 p.m. and on weekends 

Children: 12 and under: Free when travelling with a parent or guardian

So does that mean youth rise free on weekends and after 6 on weekdays? Or do they need to get a 20 tap minimum?

It also says I can take the a presto pass to shoppers drugmart with my kid and their ID to get the card adjusted to youth. Is it really any shoppers drugmart.

Hello everyone, my fiancée has recently become obsessed with the idea of buying mustard pickles (particularly the Bicks brand if that matters) but we cannot find any in the city. Does anyone know where in Burlington or nearby that we could find some?

The closest option I’ve found is a Giant Tiger in Acton but I really don’t feel like driving an hour to get pickles. Also important to note, she does not drive, so I’d really appreciate some help finding these things closer to home.

Hi all,

Visiting some family in Mississauga next week. I’ll probably have some down time, so I’m just trying to see what’s around.

I’m from the US. So, I’m welcome to any suggestions for things to check out up north since it’s all new to me.

As the title suggests, I’m going with a couple of buddies. We heard it’s closing down and wanted to check it out before that happens. What’s the vibe like there? What’s the age group usually like we’re early 40s. And most importantly…..what should I wear?

Anyone know a good neutral inclusive bar to watch the game at 1pm?

Merci

Dima Maghrib!

Two young professionals looking to move to Burlington. Lots of rental listings at 2087 Fairview (Paradigm), but I ran into some mixed reviews of it on reddit from a few years ago. So yeah, thoughts on that place? Also been looking at some places in the vicinity of that on Prospect st, would be nice to hear about that area from some locals. Thanks!

I was trying to visit a sick family member and could not find parking because many families were happily parking in the hospital lot to make it to the fireworks. Watching people laughing and giggling that they found “a spot” was infuriating as I did circles around the lot myself.

Seriously shame on you. It should be a basic principle to not abuse that parking lot for your recreational plans when people are going to see sick and dying loved ones.

Life in prison. No parole eligibility for 25 years. Hamber and Cooney showed no remorse for their actions. Hamber was so bold as to read a poem that she wrote from the perspective of the child she murdered. Jail is too good for this subhuman trash. There was a town in the US called Salem that had a punishment I think would befit them.

I found a cellphone that was left on a picnic table on the beach at Bronte Beach Park.
If you lost a phone and can describe to me what it looks like I’ll let you know where you can pick it up.
If no one claims it in the next day or two I’ll bring it to a police station.
