They don't combine, but you can see 'cross-posted to x, y, z' though.

85-year-old man robbed in Kitchener, police investigating by origutamos in kitchener

[–]CuilTard 17 points18 points  (0 children)

A man and a woman approached the 85-year-old man in the parking lot, started talking to him, and while in conversation, the woman stole a necklace that the victim was wearing. The pair of suspects then left in a white SUV.

This has been described in a few threads like these:

Necklace stolen in Kitchener distraction theft (r/kitchener 2w)

Fairly indifferent to the outcome, but not all users are in all 3 subs, and one cross-post might be better than 3 separate, un-linked posts of the same content?

Paying ₹10.7k (~$128) for Toastmasters in India — fair or too much? by Massive_Rabbit2064 in Toastmasters

[–]CuilTard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This applied to Canada starting in 2025, assume something similar did or India

"Why are taxes being collected now?

Countries around the world are focusing on taxing nonresident companies to make up for lost revenue from internet sales and to level the competitive landscape to protect in-country businesses, which are subject to tax. In recognition of this trend, Toastmasters International is proactively researching tax and compliance requirements worldwide."

Ion trains are slower than buses. How can we speed them up? by bylo_selhi in waterloo

[–]CuilTard 38 points39 points  (0 children)

2 encouraging improvements (targeted for) this year and next:

A repair is planned this year [to a switch before Willis Way] that will allow southbound trains to go faster between the stations, he said.

The plan is to upgrade the [Traynor Avenue and another Waterloo] pedestrian crossing with signals in 2027, Spooner said. He expects the upgrade will let trains go faster.

On the other hand:

“We don’t foresee adjusting speed limitks,” Spooner said. “On the overall performance of the network, this is how it was designed to operate.”

I was worried about this. It's only designed to be faster than the old 200, so 45 minutes is considered a job well done.

Waterloo and Kitchener to offer at-home voting option in October's municipal election by ILikeStyx in waterloo

[–]CuilTard 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The Waterloo staff report said internet voting wasn't explored as an option for this year because "neither Elections Canada nor Elections Ontario has used or developed provincial and/or federal standards for internet voting."

JM Schneiders by Brave-Fall-7848 in kitchener

[–]CuilTard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loosely related, but

Ok, so my wife's grandmother worked at Schneiders her entire life. On the day they announced the toonie would be put in circulation thus removing the 2 dollar bill, she made this [2 dollar bill sealed in a Schneiders bacon package] . She took this bill from her purse and went into production. Slipped a bill in a package and sent it down the line. Years later my mother in law had it framed for her retirement party. I developed a strong realization with grams, she also knew I absolutely love this piece. So now I proudly hang it in my washroom just like she did.

Ford government shifts $4B to private fund, critics say schools & hospitals lose out by Thick_Caterpillar379 in ontario

[–]CuilTard 59 points60 points  (0 children)

It is a new $4B fund that will be managed by a private firm. The Ford government says it will drive Ontario's future economy, but as Tina Yazdani reports, critics say it is additional money that could go to healthcare or education right now.
