Beware at DSBN meet

White supremacist and all around psycho bigot, Rob Primo, is wandering around the track and field meet. If you're here with your kids keep an eye out and keep them away from him.

The loudest anti pedo voices are usually telling on themselves.

Be extra cautious around the bathrooms.

Edit: hes not protesting. He's quietly walking around which makes me more nervous.

Welland Canal Boat Schedule?

Hi everyone, I am looking for something specific about the Welland Canal. I drive to work across the Lakeshore (and sometimes Carlton Street Bridge); however, I would like to know future boats (for the rest of the month, let's say) coming through those bridges so I can account for the time it would take to get to work, or to know which bridge to take.
Does a schedule like this exist online? I can only seem to find live tracking of boats.

Thanks so much!

I built a free tool to find benefits you're eligible for in Canada myeligible.ca

7 questions about where you're at in life and it'll tell you what you're eligible for federally, provincially and municipally (62 cities so far). 20 languages. I hope its helpful for many.

I built a free page that shows all the restaurant deals across Niagara in one place

Hey everyone, I'm a local developer in St. Catharines. I got tired of scrolling through Facebook groups trying to find what's on special at restaurants around Niagara, so I built a page that pulls all the deals together in one spot.

It covers St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, Welland, Fort Erie, NOTL, Port Colborne, Grimsby, and more. Wing nights, pizza combos, lunch specials, happy hours — about 80+ deals from restaurants across the region right now.

rallybite.com/deals

It's free, no sign-up needed, and I update it weekly. You can filter by city, cuisine type, and see what's available today vs coming up this week.

If your favourite restaurant has deals that are missing, let me know and I'll add them. Also happy to hear any feedback on what would make it more useful.

Did the base charges for your water bill go up?

I noticed that in my latest water bill, base charges for potable and waste water have gone up from around $38 to $45 each. So $90 of base charges alone. My actual usage charge was just $20 or so and around $35 for waste water.

Anyone work in grocery?

I haven’t been able to find the iced coffee I drink daily. Starbucks medium roast, unsweetened, 1.42L. It’s been approximately 3 weeks of empty shelves at Wal-Mart, Zehrs, No Frills & Metro.

Metro even put it on special in their most recent flyer, except they haven’t had it in stock for over 2 weeks.

Any idea if it’s been discontinued, supply issues? Etc. I know, desperate coffee drinker here! LOL.

Hibachi Cafe Beef Noodle Soup (Lakeshore Rd, STC) - Has it resurfaced?

Someone please tell me if my favorite ever restaurant in STC has reopened somewhere, quietly.

The owners had a note up when they closed a year+ ago that they MAY pop up again somewhere... And I'm praying it has because I'd drop a $100 easy for a bowl of their brisket noodles and scallion pancakes again.

Are we safe to drive home?

We just drove up to toronto Pearson to drop off some family. We're leaving to drive back now but saw the tornado warning.

There's 2 of us and baby in a car and we are new to the region so no experience with this before.

Are we safe to drive home or should we figure something out?

Lunch recommendations?

I will be passing through and I was hoping someone could recommend a nice lunch place downtown for me. Unfortunately, my trip is on a Monday and it looks like most of the city’s restaurants are closed that day, but I’m sure there will still be some good options. Also, I have an hour or so of free time; what else can you recommend I do while I’m there? Thanks!

Families in St. Catharines, what do you honestly like/dislike about living there?

Hi everyone,

My family and I currently live in Milton and we’re thinking about moving to St. Catharines because we’d really love to be closer to the water and have a better lifestyle balance for the kids.

We have a 4-year-old and a 6-month-old baby, so we’re trying to understand what everyday family life is actually like there.

Would love honest opinions on things like:

  • good family-friendly neighbourhoods
  • schools/daycares
  • safety
  • hospitals/healthcare infrastructure
  • community centres, parks, and kids activities
  • areas to avoid (if any)
  • traffic/commute
  • overall sense of community

Would especially love to hear from people raising young kids or anyone who moved from the GTA.

Thanks so much!

Absolutely unnecessar.

5 times in a row... blaring sound and takes over screen. 5 times... in a row. Can't disable it in Ontario. Mildly annoyed.

Thoughts?

They also block and ban any talk about the alerts in any /ontario or /canada subreddits. So I'm asking local now.

As im typing this, it just did a 6th time. Kind of outrageous at this point.

Lake/Lakeshore Homicide

Does anyone know the context here? I live in this area and the post is so vague. I’m not trying to pry, but is the community at risk? Was this a break in? Was this targeted? Attempted mur*er-suic**e?
