International Voter Drive 2026, for dual U.S.-Korean citizens and other U.S. citizens in South Korea

Hi- I'd like to make an announcement from Democrats Abroad, the official overseas branch of the U.S.-based Democratic Party with a chapter in South Korea. Since an extremely important election is coming in November, we're hoping to register more dual U.S.-Korean citizens and other eligible U.S. voters who live in South Korea.

We started our International Voter Registration Drive for 2026 with in-person and online events. If you know any eligible US citizens, they can register and request a ballot. Just send them this link: https://voteabroad.org/RedditVote26. As long as they'll turn 18 by election day, they're eligible.

If anyone wishes to learn more about what we're doing near you, you can find out more at https://www.democratsabroad.org/kr. We have regular in-person meetups and events online. If you have any questions about overseas voting or what we do, feel free to ask in the comments below.

Lgbtq+ in Sarnia

So I've been living in sarnia my entire life, but have been fairly antisocial. I am also only 18, so i haven't had much time to observe the local lgbtq+ scene. My long-distance girlfriend is a transgender woman and will be moving in with me at the end of August. What are the odds of her starting hormone replacement therapy in sarnia, and how safe would it be for her to go outside?

Suspended Sarnia police chief’s 61-page court filing: Journal breaks it into four separate stories

Today’s Sarnia Journal includes four stories arising from a 61-page Ontario Superior Court application record filed by suspended Sarnia police chief Derek Davis in his dispute with the Sarnia Police Service Board.

The record contains several distinct and independently newsworthy issues involving an allegation concerning media personnel, Davis’s employment contract, public funding of legal costs and his account of a longstanding Police Association labour dispute.

Rather than combine those issues into a single narrative, we have reported them separately so the evidence and limitations of each can be evaluated on their own.

Davis’s July 22 Notice to Arbitrate contains allegations and legal positions that have not been adjudicated. Where the available record does not establish something as fact, the stories say so.

Stop the Datacentre

Bob Bailey has said Microsoft is interested in building a data centre in Sarnia, and so we asked city council who would be willing to look at a Moratorium on it.

Data centres have been known to create noise pollution, water pollution, they do not create meaningful long term jobs and depending on how specific ones are handled the cost of the electricity is often passed on to the home owners and renters paying hydro.

See what your councillors have responded with at the linked website.

Hair salon recommendation for teen girls

Tried asking on Facebook, went to the most recommended place, waited 30 minutes after the appointment start time, and then had 2 girls' haircuts completed in less than 20 minutes total. Both wanted drastic changes but the stylist didn't even let them speak. Neither even look like their hair was touched.

Soooo I'll try asking here and maybe I'll have better luck. Does anyone actually listen to clients and do decent haircuts?

SOUTHWEST CREDIT UNION Inquiry - Move away from the 'big banks'

I am thinking of moving banking and some small investments over to something more local and out of mutual funds and into a secure GIC.

Most importantly away from the big Toronto banks!

Does anyone have experience with Southwest Credit Union? Pros/Cons?

Thanks!

Lost dog - Rosedale area

If you live in the Rosedale-Indian-Michigan-Murphy square please be on the lookout for a small brown dog. I have no clue whose dog it is, but I just saw her while I was walking my own dog. I couldn’t take her with me because my dog was too nervous around her and she ran away. I think her tag said Millie and I saw her at Griffith and Capri. I just drove around for 20 minutes looking and couldn’t find her. I really hope you can get her back soon! I will take another look after posting.

Landscaper for backyard makeover?

My backyard is a disaster with weeds, overgrown gardens, a messy lawn, and some hardscaping that needs fixing.

We are looking for someone/a company that can do it all and help us make the backyard a place we actually want to spend time in.

Who do you all recommend? Bonus points if you have actually used them and can tell me what they did for you!
