Oakville Mayor Rob Burton was particularly critical of the Liberal government's immigration and refugee intake policies, noting that mass immigration “broke the housing market” by increasing demand that municipalities were not prepared for.
Garbage Dumping in Trails
I caught the tail end of someone dumping garbage along the trails off the bridge, and from what I could see, it looked like party decorations, food wrappers and other rubbish. How do people think this is okay?? It is absolutely disgusting how little respect some people have for our environment and the country we call home. Like, come on, can't you just throw out your garbage at home in your own trash can?? We even have garbage cans right before entering the trails and throughout the surrounding area so there is absolutely ZERO excuse for this. Why are people treating our beautiful natural spaces like a landfill??? These trails are home to wildlife, and this garbage doesn't just disappear. The last thing we should be doing is turning our beautiful green spaces into dumping grounds. If you can't show the bare minimum of respect for our environment, then stay out of these spaces. It's not that difficult to keep the environment clean! Have some respect for our country, our planet and the wildlife that has no choice but to live with the mess you leave behind. If we all do our part, we can keep our home clean.
MISSING CAT
Our cat Nico went missing in southwest Oakville around the Coronation Park area this morning.
Specifically near Sandwell Dr and Sedgwick Cr
We’ve contacted the humane society and posted on Facebook, so we’re reaching out here to hopefully get more word out.
He is an indoor cat. We suspect he is hiding somewhere if he is still alive.
He is a grey tabby and pretty large for a cat (pictures attached).
If you live in the direct area, please check your yards, porches, etc.
If you see him please let me know the location via DM as soon as possible, much thanks!
HALTON HOOLIGANS BACK AT IT!!!!!
I was at the Walmart on Hays Boulevard today, and I have never seen such disrespectful behavior. A group of teenage boys wearing fake construction vests were screaming over the store intercom, running around causing a scene, and one of them was even wearing a Halloween mask trying to scare little kids who were just shopping with their families. It wasn't funny, it was immature, disruptive, and completely inconsiderate to the employees and everyone else in the store. Parents shouldn't have to deal with their children being frightened because a bunch of teenagers think acting like this in public is entertaining. I really hope Walmart does something about it because this kind of behavior is getting out of hand. Someone needs to stop these halton hooligans!
Geniune question hoping to get some thoughts
Hey folks, this is a real estate question and I'm hoping to get some genuine thoughts even know I realise no one has a crystal ball to predict the future. We own a townhome here in Oakville and the goal from the beginning was to move to a detached when finances are better and we've built equity.. obviously equity has been eroding (not building) over the past few years and we are thankfully still in the green but im not sure how much longer that will be for. Im not in a rush to upgrade but kids are getting older which means ill need a bigger space within the next 3yrs...currently in a 3bed and so ideally each kid will have their room, each parent will have their working space so hoping to move to a 4bed with basement... question I guess is does it make sense to sell now and hold the equity before it all gets eroded or do we keep status quo with the risk that our equity will be wiped out and so nothing to transfer when we want to buy... curious if anyone has had to made a similar decision... thanks!
