What am I missing here? It's also specifically for seniors who've owned their homes for 20+ years, meaning they bought in 2006 or earlier.

Also, doesn't the shortfall in not increasing one group's taxes, mean the money has to be made up elsewhere somehow?

Wasn’t too sure what to add as the flair for this post.

Friend of mine works at the Metro at Meadowvale Town Centre and was told today that their location will be closing for February 10th and replaced with a Food Basics sometime after.

Just wanted to share something that happened to me.

​

About 2 weeks ago, I was walking near Square One when a girl stopped me and asked for money. She said she had lost her phone and needed money for an Uber or bus to get home. I'm a student and it was literally my first month in Canada, so I didn't really know what to think. She seemed stressed, so I gave her a few dollars and went home.

Today I was sitting near Square One and i was wearing baseball CAP, and the same girl came up to me again.

This time she said her phone wasn't working and showed me a broken phone while asking for money. The moment I recognized her, I said, "Wait, I know you."

As soon as I said that, she changed the topic completely and started asking about directions and bus routes instead.

Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe not, but it felt pretty sketchy to me.

I'm not posting this because of the money. I gave it out of goodwill and honestly don't care about losing a few bucks. What bothered me was realizing I might have been played.

The weird part is that now I'm second-guessing myself. Next time someone stops me asking for help, am I supposed to believe them or not?

That's what worries me the most. Not the money.

What if one day I say no to someone because I think it's a scam, and they actually genuinely need help?

My car got broken into TWICE at this theatre. Looks like they’re targeting Lexus RX350’s and trying to hot wire them - they ripped out the glove compartment and cut a hole to expose some wires but were unsuccessful in stealing the car.

Caught this on my dashcam in Mississauga the other day.
The car ahead of me slowly drifted off the road and rolled straight into a MiWay bus shelter, completely shattering the glass.
Thankfully, the shelter was empty and nobody was hurt.
The driver was completely sober but so exhausted and jet-lagged that he didn't even realize he was drifting until the impact.
The car was still in drive when I approached him. Cops were unfazed.

I’m not sure what caused this accident as I was going to Domino’s to grab dinner.

The accident is at Hurontario Street & Eglinton Avenue.

So a couple weekends ago I had a get together at my home and being that we have a few vegetarian friends, I thought Samosas would be a great addition. Not knowing where to buy them at, I googled a few places and came across this business. They have 4.3 stars, are fairly close by and their samosas cost 0.80¢ each according to their website. I thought great and sent my husband to go pick up 30 of them up after I called the restaurant in advance.

Anyhow husband comes back 30 minutes later with bags of samosas but he’s clearly pissed off. While in the store waiting to pick them up, he also noticed signage stating they were 0.80¢ but when he went to pay, the lady said the bill was $30 plus tax! My husband said the math isn’t adding up and she said “They went up in price to $1.00!” Like wth?! You can’t advertise prices one way and then charge something different! Isn’t this illegal?

Normally my husband would’ve told them where they could put those samosas at but he didn’t want to come back empty handed. We were pretty mad and I left a bad review and that’s when I also noticed a few other negative reviews about getting charged differently than the advertised price. Can I report these guys? They seem to be running a sketchy little business!

And avoid them like the plague!!!! I cannot support a business that practices in sketchy dealings!

No joke. Asked TD for a roll of loonies. Opened it later and found coin laundry tokens mixed in like it’s totally normal. So eithe.. rSomeone’s laundering money through TD, or Canada has a secret second currency for dryers only.

Has anyone else had this happen? It happened to me twice.
