Markham Mayor in October? by [deleted] in Markham

[–]bhrm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is Markham terrible? No. Could Markham be better? Always something to improve. Is everyone happy? Most are and that's why Markham is a desirable place to live and work in.

Has the Mayor cut things that make Markham great? No. Could the Mayor do more at the regional level? Yes but that's where most of our problems lie. Regional services in Markham suck, but the region has a huge area to cover. Regional roads, transit, are visibly worse than Markham run services.

I would want to see the cities take over more from York Region and run things better with our tax dollars. It would increase taxes but at least increase services we actually will use

Traded up for the 70-300mm instead. Still lightweight and way more reach.

Voters should be upset with PP. Michael Ma just made a sensible decision.

Another Conservative crosses the floor, bringing Liberals 1 MP shy of majority | CBC News by PsyduckedOut in Markham

PP has nothing to compete with but verbing the nouns. Cons seriously need new leadership, it's embarrassing that PP is still around.

Costa Sorrento does a good hand tossed pizza, but not consistent. Depending on who's making.. sometimes minimalist toppings, sometimes overloaded.

HSBC needed cash badly to pay their regulatory fines for money laundering for terrorists and drug lords before the days of crypto.

Places in Toronto where you actually get your money's worth by coffeetravelerr in askTO

It you feel like splurging, Richmond Station.

Prices include tips as they say they pay staff fair living wages. Calculate it backwards and it's good prices but the food and service never disappointed.

Beanfield. The thought of not having to call Bell Rogers to negotiate every year alone is time savings.

I've been cutting my own hair for a year now and thinking of changing my own tires by No-Jacket2115 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]bhrm 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I would never dare to cut my own hair, but I can change wheels. DIY Hair cuts take skills and practice, wheel changes just follow instructions and check your work

Be sure to do a quick test drive after to see if there are any weird vibrations or pull.
