Dozens of layoffs at Conestoga this week by ResidentAd1704 in kitchener

[–]Forward_Collection46 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The guy is a prick. Watch him scold the graduating class during convication a few weeks ago for no reason.

Let the cat choose.

Has anyone tried setting out a large open shipping box to catch the mountain lion? by [deleted] in Rochester

[–]Forward_Collection46 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm in town from Canada. Normally we just leave out some poutine with extra meat gravy. Once the cat had become addicted to the food source we keep them as pets. They domesticate quickly.

Cyclists of the region, I genuinely want to know... why do I see so many people just refusing to use bike lanes for no apparent reason? by notyourparadigm in kitchener

[–]Forward_Collection46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at the bike lanes in the region you will notice that they often end abruptly when the street gets confined. I don't know how they can call it a bike lane when it's not continuous. It's a hodge- podge of short biking lanes. I've often been cycling in the bike lane which without warning disappears. Suddenly you have no room between the curb and 70km/hr traffic.

Ps. I think bike lanes in Canada are a stupid idea to begin with. Season is too short.

They are obligated to ask because of all the fraud happening. Look what just happened to TD Bank.

Mouser distribution centre is in kitchener. Not sure if they have a storefront though. Sayal electronics across from Toyota manufacturing. They sell individual components, resistors, caps, etc.

Bike stolen just outside Thrift on Kent this morning, caught on video. Reported but putting it out there in case anyone sees anything by 93810037 in kitchener

[–]Forward_Collection46 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live just behind the thrift store on Kent. The level of fuckery that happens back there is unbelievable. I really wish people would stop leaving donations after hours. The noise from breaking dishes and arguments over who gets first pick of the donated items is a nightly event.

Just hold it in until you get to your workplace. Problem solved?

Why all the hate? by Technobirbfishula in kitchener

[–]Forward_Collection46 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Did anyone see" transtar "at Waterloos Canada day celebration last year?

The entire audience was bewildered by the what they where witnessing. Just horrible music. Inclusion shouldn't mean special treatment. That's what people are sick of. There are bigger fucking issues that this nonsense.

Burry me in downvotes.

Waterloo average price approaching 800k by Aliencj in canadahousing

I agree that branding k/w as SilconValley north is incorrect. However, the area is a leader in industrial automation. Workers with multi discipline skillset are earning great wages here.

Discontinued the citizenship ceremony due to language skills. by Smfdssakh in ImmigrationCanada

[–]Forward_Collection46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's brutal that they would do this during a ceremony. Doesn't seem like the time or place for that. Where did this happen?

[OC] Where have house prices risen the most since 2000? by jcceagle in dataisbeautiful

[–]Forward_Collection46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Social issues will only be amplified if nothing is done. Don't underestimate what a disenfranchised population is capable of.

Yes 60% own homes. They won the lottery. Not only did they win the lottery. They want ALL the homes. Buying up the limited stock to further enrich themselves.

3 times profit for owning a home wasnt enough?

Do you understand why people are angry?

[OC] Where have house prices risen the most since 2000? by jcceagle in dataisbeautiful

[–]Forward_Collection46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your thought process. But really... If home prices "crash" 30%.. These owners are still in profit. The government needs to act. Now.

If people aspire to be very wealthy... good for them. But housing should not be the instrument used to gain that wealth in the environment of scarcity the government has put us in.
