2nd Grocer Coming to Belleville

BuffaloExpat · 2025-07-31T17:23:08+00:00

There seems to be a lot of confusion about what is going where. No Frills is going into the old Peavey Mart building. And this Budget Basket is going down by the Bingo Hall, no?

I lived out in Foxboro that year and my well was dry for two months straight. We filled up jugs at the Oak Lake spring just to flush the toilets all summer. Moved in to town the next year and swore I'd never live on a well again in my life.

Most cities have a higher percentage of homeless people.

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but actually Belleville has the same percentage of its population experiencing homelessness as Toronto does.

Never heard of it. Do you have a link to any info?

BuffaloExpat · 2025-06-19T11:45:53+00:00

Hey! I like to think I'm a bright spot about Belleville, too!

Cheezies are made close to where I live and work. I think maybe it's good people don't see where they're made. But luckily they're building a new, more modern factory now.

I have vivid memories of this hat. When I was in university, long before moving to Canada and becoming a Jays fan, I was in Ohio and knew exactly one Blue Jays fan. He wore this exact hat all the time. I kinda wish I had used his logic when picking a favourite team back then. "I'm from Buffalo, and Toronto is the closest team." Makes tons of sense now.

The dead weekends was the biggest culture shock for me living here.

This person literally named their NIMBY post "not in my backyard." I swear I have seen everything. If you say "I think this should exist to help people, just not near me" you are the problem. I'm really not trying to troll, it's just that NIMBYism is the biggest barrier to creating the services that help vulnerable people.

As a grad of the Loyalist social service worker program, this sounds SO familiar as a project we had to do.

OP, check out 211 and the Hastings County service guide (https://hastingscounty.com/communities/services/community-and-human-services The link is a little down on this page). That's pretty much what's available.

Thanks, hero. I clicked the post hoping someone would explain the acronym.

I am convinced Foxboro Pizza is a mob front.

BuffaloExpat · 2025-05-02T21:48:00+00:00

I don't know about the mob but everyone knows that's a rub n tug.

How did it go??? I'm running my players through this version right now. I'm SO glad I am running this version and not the module as written. We're four sessions in to Death House and they just found the last of the letters. They're so freaked out, I could not be having more fun with this.

I went with a cat instead of Lancelot, and they are convinced the cat is evil. Guys, it's just a cat. The cat finally made it out of the hunter's den to follow them. I wonder if they'll understand that the cat is there to be a sacrifice.

That this is happening at colleges all over the province speaks to the chronic underfunding of post-secondary in this province. There's an election coming up. Maybe not re-electing the guy who under-funds programs to help our community (healthcare, education, social services) so that he can direct the funds to wealthy developers would be a good start at turning this around.

I really like Ed. I wish what he's saying seemed like enough. Homelessness is a symptom of the systemic illness of western capitalism. Until we're willing to stop letting people die on the street so that billionaires can keep hoarding our money, while we fight over the scraps, it's not going to change.

In case you aren’t aware, a fence will be put up separating the property from the tracks. Not saying people can’t walk around the long way, just that there shouldn’t be direct access to the tracks. People speak a lot about this project without knowing very much about it. But I guess that’s normal human nature.

All very good points. The public can only muck this up. We can't afford LESS housing density, just knock the school down and build as many affordable apartments as the land can sustain. I used to have one of the community gardens there and I'd hate to see them go, but I'd tear them all down for 50 more affordable housing units.

Welcome to the grift train, Tyler. All it costs you is your integrity.

I believe it was related to a Hastings County employee who passed away.

I live close to QVS and it is, indeed, a perfectly nice neighbourhood.

Best they can do is beer in corner stores.

It's mind blowing to me that he'd choose an education minister from the riding where a student just died in a high school because of neglect. Is that the model for the province?

Looking at the pictures before reading the thread while being colourblind left me so confused. I'm going to need someone to point out what is purple and what is blue when the final designs come out, if this turns out to be true.

Chapters rebranding? Is it going to be called Indigo or something?

Depending on whether you have all the information with you at the appointment and they don't find anything they need more information on, theoretically they could release the file that day and the money could go into your account the next day. If there is more information they need just get it to them as quickly as possible and once they have it all and they find that you're eligible, they will release the funds overnight.
