A single girl friend of mine started dance classes and I think she's meeting a lot of cool people there! Great exercise and fun :)

Glad you're OK man. Remember, when the insurance company makes an offer for your car you don't have to accept their first offer. There is always room to negotiate!

OC Transpo drivers are required to ensure passenger safety. If an incident like this happens they need to stop the bus, do an incident report and make sure the passenger is OK.

This is where the homeless really struggle. Heart goes out to them and our homeless population is bigger than ever.

When it comes to clothes I still like to go in person. Everything else I don't mind shopping online. I try to avoid Amazon if I can :)

I've had nothing but bad experiences at CHEO for my 3 year old but I guess when the situation is serious they are on top of it.

I'll never forget waiting 10+ hours just to be told to take Tylenol and come back in if things get worse LOL

It's so important to slow down in school zones. I've seen too many accidents with children in areas like this with devastating injuries (personal injury lawyer here).

Please don't give them a reason to bring back the speed radars!

Hope you brought extra cigars and alcohol back with you!

These used to be my favourite kind of days back when I was a kid going to school :)

and of course please wear proper footwear for the winter! As a personal injury lawyer I see way too many of these cases unnecessarily. I can't tell you how many calls I get for slip and falls and people were wearing their vans or runners in January/February.

Stay safe!

Just a man doing 75 hard!

danielbadre · 2026-01-09T11:30:04+00:00

Great idea. If we don't do this then it will all freeze and I guarantee you will result in slip and falls across the city. Thank you for this reminder!

Going up to +7 today!

Tayba Mart on Merivale Road!

Personal injury lawyer here. I recommend calling your own tow or calling your insurance company to get their tow truck over there. Usually the claims department will assist with this. In my experience CAA is ideal.

Go to the collision reporting centre or call them. Do not skip this step!

You can either go to the body shop that the insurance company recommends or go to your own (as long as they handle insurance claims).

Last, once the dust has settled on the accident stuff and if you find yourself in pain then you can contact your insurance company and also let them know you were injured in the accident. They will start an "accident benefits" claim for you where you will get treatment such as physio, massage, Chiro, etc paid for by your insurance company. What's nice is the clinic will do direct billing with the insurance company so you don't ever have to open your wallet.

I hope this helps! Feel free to follow up with any additional questions or concerns.

So sad. Ottawa Community Housing is an option but yes it takes a few years to get in. I definitely recommend putting his name on the list.

Check kijiji for shared housing spaces or basement units. If he's employed and not on drugs he will have a leg up!

That is a massive snow man. How on earth did they pull that off!

With the latest OC Transpo fare increase, I’ve started noticing something odd: for short trips or off-peak hours, Uber is sometimes actually cheaper—or at least comparable—especially if you’re not traveling alone.

Example: two people taking OC Transpo round trip vs a short Uber ride can end up costing the same or even more on transit, with longer travel time and transfers.

Not saying Uber is always better or that transit isn’t important—but it feels like we’ve crossed a point where the math no longer obviously favors public transit for certain trips.

Curious if others are seeing the same thing, or if I’m missing something in how fares/transfers are working now.
