To the lady who stood up to a creep on the TTC line 1 right now

Thank you. I was an entire carriage away but when I heard the shouting and saw the little boy walking away. It was after you demanded that the creep delete the picture he had secretly taken of that boy. Things dispersed right after and I wasn't sure what was the next course of action apart from reporting it to the TTC. The one thing I did feel that you were very brave.

On a second note, what is the public opinion about this incident? What should have been done?

TO girlies what shoes are we wearing this summer?

I need recommendations for everyday sandals that are cute but comfortable for walking, work shoes that are not sneakers but still practical since I walk a lot, and sneakers that feel current. For work, are Mary Jane mesh flats, ballet flats, kitten heels, loafers, or slingbacks the move right now? Looking for specific brands or styles you actually like and find comfortable.

Getting a gynaecologist referral without seeing my family doctor?

Women and/or medical professionals only please! Is it possible to get a referral to a gynaecologist without having to go through my family doctor? Like would it be possible to get a referral if I went to a walk in clinic?

My family doctor is great, but he’s male and I don’t feel comfortable asking him and explaining why I need to be referred. It’s more of a possible anatomical issue that can’t be addressed by a primary care physician.

Thank you in advance!

Places / ways to sell vintage clothing

I’m spring cleaning and wish to get rid of three vintage coats I inherited from elderly, rich, fashionable relatives. They include a very dressy coat from Holt Renfrew in the 60’s, and two lovely wedding coats from the 40’s or 50’s. (Simpson’s label on one). They’re all in pristine condition. I’m not looking to make a lot of money off them, but would like them to go to folks who’ll appreciate them rather than just dumping them at Value Village. I have no experience in this space, so appreciate any thoughts.

Man keeps chasing after me in downtown

I’m wondering if anyone else has had this experience. Over the past two years, the same man will see me walking on the street and will chase after me. Over the last two years, I want to say the same man has done this about 5 times. The first time, it was night time and he started calling after me but I didn’t stop walking (since it was nighttime and I was creeped out). Eventually he stopped and went the other direction. The second and third time, it was day time and I told him I’m not interested and I have a boyfriend. I can’t even remember what I said the fourth time but the fifth time I told him to stop chasing after me on the street because he is making me feel very uncomfortable.

I usually run into him around the financial district anywhere between King/Bay and King/John. He’s about 6 feet, slim and East Asian. He is usually wearing a suit and I’ve seen him wear an RBC pin before.

Anyone else have this experience with someone who meets this description? I was pretty clear about my boundaries the last time this happened but I don’t know what I can do if he tries this again.

Help regarding Corolla 2021 LE

Need help from experienced mechanics / car experts in GTA

My car has a serious ongoing issue, and I can’t figure out the root cause anymore. At highway speeds (especially 100+ km/h), there is strong wobbling/shaking from the front-left side, along with a scratching/humming sensation coming through the floor and pedal area.

Tires have already been checked. Some parts were also replaced, but the issue is STILL there and sometimes feels worse. It feels like there may be something loose or with play in the suspension/steering area.I drive daily long distance for work, so this is becoming a real concern.If anyone experienced or a skilled mechanic can help point me in the right direction or even inspect it, I would really appreciate it.

I just want to find the actual root cause instead of guessing anymore.

Thanks in advance

If you use a wheelchair how do you find reliable transportation?

*edit* please don't comment about wheeltrans, my 10 year experience is in the post. I'm very happy it worked out for your friend/ grandparent/ niece. Please listen to people who actually use the service and rely on it

Today I'm missing another hospital appointment because booking 2 wheelchair taxis 24 hrs in advance spaced 15 minutes apart, while trying uber WAV and Lyft Wheelchair rides for an hour, is simply not enough for a disabled person to get an
accessible ride to an appointment.

While I was furiously refreshing Uber and Lyft, I thought to myself "there has to be a a better way to do this"

Wheeltrans is the least reliable, showing up ontime about 1 out of 5 trips. Many times I have been left "stranded"

So is there a better solution?
The taxi companies had no suggestions to prevent this. After years of nonstop repeated missed appointments and extreme stress around leaving my home while just trying to get to my medical appointments , I'm fucking tired.

Just checking in on what are people paying compare to me. Looks to be on the higher side than what I recall even accounting for inflation.

02144 - Radiographs, Regional/Localized, Bitewing - Four $64

11113 - Scaling - Three units (45 minutes) $202

12113 - Fluoride Treatment Varnish $39

Working from downtown

Hi everyone. Since summer is just on the cusp of the horizon, I'm looking for recommendations for the best places outdoors to work from in the downtown Toronto area because why not!

I have a pretty chill job, so I can work from almost anywhere as long as there’s reliable Wi-Fi or good phone signals so I can use my data.

I’m game to anything — patios, parks, cafés, waterfront spots, hidden gems, etc. Bonus points if the place has good seating, shade, nice views. TIA!

Places to legally sleep in your car?

I’m going to be driving through Toronto next week and wondering if there are any good places that are legal/safe to sleep in my car overnight. Where I live Walmarts allow this but google says Toronto does not and can give you a hard time. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
