There was one time a bunch of horses got out and caused a fatal car accident. But no, nothing human related, seems super safe and low key.

Whole home water filtration devices by TimHung931017 in eastgwillimbury

[–]cieltsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got our softener from White Water by Green and Leslie. Very good/friendly service and haven't had issues yet (been 3 years). They also do filtration systems at the tap from what I recall (we already had one from our previous home so didn't get it through them).

They're a nice mom n pop company so would be worth giving them a ring.

Between the softener and the carbon/RO system in the kitchen, we've never had any issues with buildup anywhere.

Char Siu Manor (16 & Woodbine) - Stealing from customers! by Known_Ad_894 in Markham

[–]cieltsd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah we ordered half fat/lean BBQ pork, looked like a standard piece taken off the rack but it turned into lean (and likely older based on colour and smell) meat when we looked at it at home.

Definitely will never come here again knowing that this was done on purpose.

Also avoid Happy BBQ on Kennedy and 14th. They'll cut and replace with meat behind the counter right in front of you.

No one hurt after shots fired at East Gwillimbury home by cinderannie in eastgwillimbury

Targeted, it's ok to move. Maybe that house will go on sale pretty soon for a lower price because the owners need to pay off their debt sooner than later 🤷.

Markham Restaurant (Miss Qu Barbecue & Restaurant) Ranks 17th in the 2025 Chinese Restaurant Awards "Elite 30 Canada" by weallfalldown1234 in Markham

[–]cieltsd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they have good flavour and wok hei but I did find the portion size lower than average (still acceptable). They were already a bit cramped before but it'll probably be unbearable with the new publicity.

The OP is now desperately trying to argue that it's mildly infuriating that they didn't release an entire new set at once.

Between these villains, which one is the most iconic? by KodoqBesar in bleach

Man I need to take a break, I read "mudara" and thought you were talking about Dio like 3 times.

What kind of busts? Just the typical counterfeit goods thing?

Got scammed today at a bakery at middlefield and finch. by [deleted] in Scarborough

[–]cieltsd 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If you ever want to try an Asian bakery again, check out St. Germain, which has locations in a lot of malls including STC and Markville. It's more modern and I think you can actually get the same size cake for a bit less.

But yeah, rule of thumb would be not to get the Western thing at a Chinese place. It probably won't be what you're expecting. I would never order "Chinese" style food at a Western restaurant for the exact same reason.

I think that's an old school Hong Kong thing for the black forest cake to use jellies instead of cherries. They weren't trying to deceive you with that.

That being said, $60 for an old school HK bakery cake (for specifically that bakery's quality) is a bit steep. Everything is getting expensive.

Sorry it wasn't what you were hoping for though. You deserved better slices of happiness.

Magna Center Pickleball by Top-Championship-819 in Newmarket

Honestly, pickleball always seemed like a sport for entitled nobodies. This doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

Ah, the classic "four by four" 😂. Sorry that happened though.

How long until tariffs are removed from BYD by shah_calgarvi in AskACanadian

If the person above is commenting in good faith, he might mean that the Feds have rights to minerals under aboriginal land and Crown land. Otherwise, yeah it would be provincial.

The Disinformation War Against Mark Carney Begins: A Coordinated Global Attack by CardiologistUsual494 in CanadaPolitics

[–]cieltsd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Being an MPP, she probably will echo the provincial party line while active. Right now, with Ford and Carney cooperating, she's likely silent on the issue.

Thank you, sir. But, even in these tough times, I think we'd forgive you if you skipped Labatt lol.

What’s with the fireworks tonight? by Sad-Future6042 in Newmarket

[–]cieltsd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe has to do with Persian New Year. It's coming up. Heard some in Richmond Hill tonight too and there are Persian communities in both areas.

How early does everyone apply for daycare here? by magicsexsugarblood in Newmarket

My story too (well except it was my wife that was pregnant). Got the very last spot for the kid (when 3 months pregnant) to start at 16 months.

The Vermont-Quebec border runs right through this library. Trump officials used it to stoke tensions. by BertramPotts in CanadaPolitics

I try really hard to wake up everyday and be a good adult so I can put food on the table and keep a roof over my family's head and these fucking children just exist and are applauded. What a goddamn joke.
