General Are we heading towards a Muslim council?

• Upvotes

Saw this today. Seems like someone is trying to push the Arab and Muslim community towards a Muslim council. How about we vote not based on race but on the candidates platform instead. I know there are some non Muslims on the list but thats only because there are no Muslim candidates for those particular seats. Get out and vote people! Your voice matters and can make a change!

Rant Rob Burton signs on property associated with Midtown Development

Post image
0 Upvotes

Found this little diddy on facebook.

Rob Burton campaign signs are up at the Remington Homes sales centre in Oakville. Remington is connected to Distrikt Developments who is a partner in the contraversial midtown development.

Remington president Christopher Bratty attended Doug Ford’s daughter’s wedding during the Greenbelt controversy. Ford’s government issued Zoning Orders affecting Oakville’s planning process enabling greater development density.

Burton endorsed Ford in 2025. Now Peter Turkington, communications director for Ontario’s Progressive Conservative Party, is managing Burton’s mayoral reelection campaign.

Who authorized the signs?

Does their placement indicate developer support?

How is Turkington’s campaign role funded?

Has Remington provided other assistance?

Question Looking for a reliable used car under $4–5K in the GTA. Any dealership recommendations?

• Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for a used car under $4,000–$5,000 CAD for daily commuting and occasional driving around the GTA.

Preferably a fuel-efficient sedan, ideally white, silver, or another light colour, but I'm flexible. I'm okay with 150K+ km as long as it's mechanically reliable.

I only plan to keep it for 6–7 months, so I don't want to spend too much or take out a loan. I understand my budget is tight, and I'll be getting a third-party safety inspection.

I've been checking AutoTrader and CarGurus daily, but haven't found much. I also had a bad experience with my previous car because I didn't get it inspected by my own mechanic before buying and ended up selling it at a loss. Definitely don't want to repeat that mistake.

Any recommendations for trustworthy dealerships around the GTA? Good or bad experiences are welcome. Also open to private sellers if anyone has leads.

Thanks in advance!

Question Pool services shops recommendations

0 Upvotes

Hi folks, we have a salt water pool and in the last 2 years we have been using an independent crew to open and close the pool as they are cheaper. I decided to switch as they don’t respect the schedule. Always late or miss appointments completely. This fall I went with Ultimate pool where we do weekly water testing as it’s close to us. The experience is mixed. 1) one of the lights was not working and I asked them to take a look when booking the appointment. But when the crew arrived, they acted as they did not know. I mentioned again and they said they would take a look and let me know. But after they finished, they just left leaving a sheet on the door without talking to me about what was going on with the light. 2) they charged me a water bag without asking. I understand its owner’s responsibility to provide all the equipment. But it doesn’t mean I give consent to be charged with anything that isn’t there. They should have asked. I actually keep water bags in another place but I totally forgot about it. I called the office to give my feedback. I did not ask for a refund or anything as it’s not a huge deal. The manager’s attitude was a bit aloof and response was standard. I think I may look into other options. Could you please share some places with good customer services?

​This intersection is absolute chaos during the morning commute. People constantly pull dangerous U-turns and block oncoming traffic just for a hit-or-miss Tim Hortons coffee.

Question Plumbing/ Bath Room Leak Question

2 Upvotes

Hi All,

We got an old house in Oakville and the bathtub above our living room seems to be leaking water into the drywall. We hear water dripping anytime someone uses the shower upstairs and we can see cracks on the dry wall
Is it best to remove bathtub and check for plumbing issues or to open up the dry wall in the living room that has a crack.

Any recommendations for a good plumber and contractor around Mississauga, Oakville, Milton and the GTA would be appreciated
