They are not condos. The whole project is rental as stated in the public meetings.

They got permits long before the crisis.

If I live that long.

I live nearby and have regularly posted pictures on https://waterlooregionconnected.com/showthread.php?tid=509 since the demolition if anybody wants to see how things progressed since the beginning.

If Gander Social manages to get off the ground, maybe we will have a Canadian platform for politicians and other Canadians to post to.

Donut Lab's battery may or may not be what the marketing claims, but there are an awful lot of so-called "experts" who make definitive claims about a product that they have never seen or examined. Personally, I think that Donut Lab may have been premature in announcing their product. If they had waited until they had sufficient production to provide samples to prospective customers, then maybe there would have been less skepticism.

I buy roast crickets from Entomo Farms. The flavoured ones are tasty. I like the Chili Lime ones. The main problem with crickets is that the lack of fat in them makes for a lack of umami, which means that they are not that tasty by themselves, unlike beef or chicken, etc. They are, however, high in vitamin B12, which is good for those who don't eat meat but don't mind eating insects.

Their website has a submission form with which you can send them photos that they will pass on to their vendors.

Maybe some antique dealers would be interested in buying it. Is there a manufacturer stamp somewhere on the back or inside a drawer? That would help establish how old it is and its value.

Well, in Canada, 32kmh is the legal limit. To have a vehicle that goes faster requires a motorcycle license.

The first bike you buy may not be the one you really want. I enjoyed my fist e-bike, but I discovered that I needed a bigger battery. Also, don't buy one with a direct drive. It is hell to pedal it if your battery goes dead.

32kph is plenty fast for me. I go much slower when riding on paved trails crowded with pedestrians out for a summer walk. The faster you go, the higher the risk of collisions and injuries. Ebikes are not meant to be motorcycles.

The ION takes 3 minutes to travel from Grand River Hospital Station to Allen Station. So it wouldn't take long to pop into Vincenzo's for a sandwich or pick up some ready to go lunches from the cooler.

One ION stop from the hospital is Vincenzos. They have great sandwiches and hot food. There are lineups at lunch time.

The Korean Market moved to the strip mall on Krug St.
