To the guy driving around with his dog in the back
Grow up.
I was driving on wgp last night and saw a grey Toyota pickup (I think it was a Tacoma) with a dog in the back. The dog was barking at the driver, and was obviously distressed.
This person had an inverted Canadian flag on the tailgate, and a Colt firearms logo. Probably one of those freedom convoy nutjobs.
Not only is it illegal to do this, it's wildly stupid. If you're so precious about the interior of your emotional support truck that you can't have a dog, you have to get rid of one or the other.
Surrender the dog to someone who will care about its safety.

E bikes on public roads
Good afternoon Brantford. I am a long time resident and I started commuting to work on an ebike. I am a 50/m but started riding due to financial reasons. My bike does not go faster than 30 kph so I stay on side roads. I stay off of sidewalks and stop at every stop sign. Yesterday on Grand river Ave (40kph) and a driver in a mini van ran me off the road and nearly killed me when I almost rear ended a parked car. My question to everyone is as an ebike rider, how can I commute if I can't ride on the sidewalk and drivers try to kill me on the road.BTW the driver, you know who you are, has been reported to the police with his licence plate. Only a question, not looking for an argument. Thanks. Have a great one

Anyone know a local mechanic who can help with an odd repair?
Hey Brantford, I drive an older Chevy Malibu and found a video on YouTube of someone making the exact repair I need done.
This car is known for the fuel door breaking off eventually and alas mine has broken in one spot but is still attached.
Looking to get the exact repair done in this video by a local mechanic willing to take on this project at their home garage or shop.
Should take an hour two at most I’m assuming, willing to pay $100 cash. I will supply the bolts and rod.
The biggest pain in the butt looks like drilling out 2 rivets and replacing them with two bolts which I would.. fully disassembling the fuel door involves removing the rear tire as well this video shows everything perfectly:

No water In West Brantford
Just on the Conklin side. Tried to take a shower just now and realized I have no water. I double checked, I did pay my bill. Is anyone else with no water in that area?
