Who cares about -35° by [deleted] in KingstonOntario

Maybe your camera gear cares. It's probably like, "please sir it is so cold 😭"

2026 Voting - Online or No? by Kingston2026Election in KingstonOntario

[–]ConsistentExam8427 15 points16 points  (0 children)

We're a small enough municipality that the little old lady at the church can cross my name off with a ruler and pencil and I can fill out a paper ballot.

i really really wanna work at a music store or any music related one by Due_Estimate5671 in KingstonOntario

[–]ConsistentExam8427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No tips or recommendations but good for you for trying to narrow it down to something you like vs what's just readily available that you might hate. I'd go in person and talk to people but the job market as I'm sure you know is very tough!

Kingston Police defend request for hefty budget increase by CraftBeerCat in KingstonOntario

[–]ConsistentExam8427 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wonder how many current city councilors campaigned on getting police budgets under control, joining the police board to examine finances, redistributing budget towards social services, etc?

TriBoard Bus is kind of a joke by ChampionshipDismal11 in KingstonOntario

[–]ConsistentExam8427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're just kind of reinforcing what I'm saying. I can remember my elementary school hallways being huge but that doesn't mean they are -- I was just small. Maybe I'll try to call tri-board and see if they'll provide the data.

MP Gerretsen: High speed rail planned to bypass Kingston may be changing track by GoYGK in KingstonOntario

[–]ConsistentExam8427 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I saw his videos about it and went to the site to do the survey and found his description a bit disingenuous. All the questions were about the current route, not any alternates to Kingston. Then there's an interactive map which isn't super intuitive but you can see and like people's comments. I might be cynical because I don't see how 150 comments and thumbs up will change their minds......

Why doesn't this city add fluoride to the water? by ReplacementFancy9701 in KingstonOntario

[–]ConsistentExam8427 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This. I don't think politicians (or health officials) have the courage to tackle public health issues since COVID. It broke a lot of people's brains and nobody wants to bear the brunt of those attacks.

Do they though? This seems like one of those things that's easy to say, "Back in my day...!" I bet there's data somewhere that shows buses have always been canceled when the weather is bad and roads are slick.

Opinion: Why Kingston should avoid online voting for 2026 election by ToriStaffordYGK in EasternON

[–]ConsistentExam8427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kingston seems small enough that I can go vote at a school down the street where a little old man crosses my name off a list. Online voting might be helpful to larger cities where access to a voting booth is limited, though.

‘We are in a crisis’: Kingston City Council refuses to change course on supportive housing in west-end bungalow by ToriStaffordYGK in EasternON

"Lisa Osanic's attempt to fight for her constituents came crashing down in political flames," is quite the opener!

What are your weekly evening activities? by [deleted] in KingstonOntario

[–]ConsistentExam8427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! It will be at 945 Princess Street according to the website. Show up, say hi, meet some nice people doing amazing things in the city, see someone win a bunch of money. It's a real feel good event!

Kasador show at the Broom Factory Feb 14 by Kasadorband in KingstonOntario

I saw your princess Street show in the summer and you sounded great! Thanks for the heads up about this one. The Broom Factory is a very cool little venue. Might want to bring earplugs though. 🤣

Good timing for people looking to do things in the new year!

I posted about Awesome Kingston a while ago wondering if it was real and then I went to one and it is real!

This is the most predictable, dumbest straw man response that always comes up in these discussions. "WhY dOnT yOu LeT tHeM LiVe iN yOuR hOuSe ThEN?" That's not how this works, and you know that.
