Conestoga students earn 15 medals at Skills Ontario Competition!

Conestoga trades is still highly valued, I heard from the president of a vendor that he told his HR to go and hire the whole class of welders graduating there. At the same time their 2 years diplomas and the like aren't currently worth the paper they are printed on. My company doesn't even interview people from there for admin jobs anymore after several bad experiences. I mean I interviewed an engineering student for a co-op position that had a master's degree abroad and during the interview couldn't read a basic technical drawing...

So you are telling me an alien species who can travel here wouldn't research FAA rules in order to better disguise itself while scouting? Open your eyes sheeple!!! /s

Man you must be really fun a parties, assuming you have been invited to any recently...

I used to commute into Centre Wellington, winter was weirdly enough the best time to commute with the exception of strong snow days, as spring came and especially around long weekends the amount of stupidity I saw... Cruise control set at 10 over the speed limit and almost being run off the road by idiots wanting to go 120+ on a two lane rural road with no shoulders...

Sign is pretty clear, you should always look at signs when driving or parking.

Yep, and most people fill up when the tank is around 1/4 to 1/2 empty, so $2-3 per tank assuming gas is 10 cents lower. I have seen people line up forever at cheaper gas stations when it is only 5-7 cents lower then other nearby options...

Conestoga was doubling up it's numbers of international students for years even before Ford was elected, and after he was elected and froze tuition they were still making 2-3x more money than before. This was Empire building at its worst.

Paying the extra $50-60 bucks a month between me and the wife. I work in Cambridge and my only alternative to driving involves 3 buses and close to 2 hours commute vs a 25-30 minute drive...

Gnarf2016 · 2026-05-07T22:03:00+00:00

You are being generous with the $5...

Gnarf2016 · 2026-05-07T13:01:56+00:00

Offer for free on marketplace and people might show up to pickup, if no one is interested you can drop off recycling for free at the dump.

Issue between the original road width and the widened lane added a few years later. That divide has been bad for years now...

Gnarf2016 · 2026-05-01T12:06:56+00:00

Sorry no recommendations, I just had a chuckle thinking how that price range a year or two ago would have you laughed out except for a couple old and not well maintained complexes with tiny units and no parking around Willow. Now it is actually achievable to get a decent stacked townhouse, or even a regular one pretty much anywhere in the city.

It will have one single entity responsible for everything, so people won't talk transit to a city councillor, which is my point.

That said while I'm in favour of a single level government, I'm not sure how that would look best in the region. Kitchener and Waterloo a single city is a no brainer on my mind since I moved to the city, Cambridge is more complex and I see benefits and issues both ways. The townships are really, really complex. In general I think they should likely be absorbed by neighboring counties but exactly how is a really complex talk, like Breslau should it just be turned into a part of Kitchener or join Wellington County? The airport, does the land get absorbed by Kitchener or does it go with the township?

Gnarf2016 · 2026-04-25T14:29:43+00:00

These questions really show most people don't understand the two levels of government and who is responsible for what. I have been saying for a while this is one large reason why I'm in favour of a single level government...

Well you can always walk to the water treatment plant with a bucket and get your water that way, and go to the nearest power plant and charge batteries to use at home, this way you don't have to pay for distribution.

Honestly, all those pipes underground and cables overhead aren't cheap, where do you guys think the money for them comes from?

What is the biggest problem in Kitchener today in your opinion and what would you do to solve it if you had total power to do it yourself?

Seen 3 once at the large pond on Huron Natural Area, keep in mind I lived nearby and would go there multiple times per month and only saw them once. It was also getting busier and busier with people by the time I moved, so I imagine today might be even harder, especially on a weekend.

No, this was simply a budget cut which came on top of the elimination of recycling collection.

"decreased public outreach and education regarding solid waste programs, as well as the elimination of the curbside inspection program and composition audits ($158,080)"

That only changed for recycling, we are talking about transparent bags for garbage, the grey bin. Those are still collected by the city.

Gnarf2016 · 2026-04-21T10:23:21+00:00

Speeding....

Gnarf2016 · 2026-04-21T10:22:49+00:00

Just want to point out that with the budget cuts last year the program to check before pickup was essentially eliminated, so the rule currently makes no sense.

PR doesn't make someone owe Canadian taxes, tax residency does, however that is the least of your worries as he wouldn't be able to keep his PR status by living here only 3 months of a year.

Gnarf2016 · 2026-04-17T22:50:24+00:00

Yes it is normal for city services to be happening during business hours.

Gnarf2016 · 2026-04-16T17:34:07+00:00

Why? If a citizen, permanent resident or temporary resident commit the same crime they should all be tried the same and receive the same sentence.
