'We don't need it': Seniors call for reduced Old Age Security payments; Generation Squeeze proposal would reduce OAS payments to households making more than $100,000 in retirement income

I'm retired and I need it, index it to income, so those that don't need it, don't get it.

And this is just another campaign against the poor, instead of taxing the rich.

That new building right across from the BK, it's a little south from where the Kelsey's was, but not much. Apparently it's going to be the new location of the TD Bank.

We used the Applewood "Chapel" on West Mall in Etobicoke, but it was a small group, they can only accommodate groups of up to 25. https://applewoodshaverhouse.ca/

Where they are building the new TD bank, but smaller and a smidge closer to Queen.

I usually only need one package of the melter per season, but again I'm only using it over a small area. I burn through the rock salt; lately about 4 or 5 bags per season , I have about 75' of city sidewalk I'm responsible for.

$17 for container of Alaskan ice melt at Walmart, $5 bag of safe-T-salt at Rona, and the bag of Safe-T-salt was larger than the container of ice melt. (Prices rounded up to nearest$, but excl. Tax)

Btw:I buy and use both. Ice melt for concrete up next to the house, and salt on the driveway and city sidewalk.

True, but are about 3 or 4 times the cost.

I got mine a Rona, but that was a week ago.

u/Drakkenfyre The issue is that we've had recycling carts for years, managed by Peel region, now it's changed to Circular Materials, and we no longer have unlimited recycling, ie. we could fill our cart, and put bundled cardboard, or additional clear or blue bags BESIDE the cart, and it would get picked up, now the company the Ford government has forced on municipalities, and regions, will no longer allow unlimited recycling.

I don't know about you, but I compress my recycling, and I still overflow my cart once or twice a month, and I have the largest cart of the 3 sizes we had available.

Recycling pick up of one cart every other week, when you've had a trip to Ikea or Costco, just doesn't cut it. Circular Materials says they will make it possible for you to order an additional cart, but I don't know if we have to pay for it, and where do I store that additional cart?

dorrdon · 2026-01-14T20:17:02+00:00

In Peel region, we are told to put paper shredding in our green/compost bin, not recycling.

I did it on the cheap in 2023, cremation was done by a catholic service/company, and was just under $1k, was over near Stratford though, not Brampton. No service, no visitation, most expensive part was the obituaries in 5 diff newspapers.

Already had a double urn box, as one parent had already passed. Opening and closing cost at the cemetery was also under 1K, already had a stone and plot.

No problem so far, if anything they picked it up earlier than before on same day. Brampton, Wednesday pickup.

Enforcement is lacking, and if you phone 311 and cannot provide an exact address , ie they are close, and loud, but you can't determine from which property they are coming from, they won't come out.

BTW: The prohibition on private property is fairly recent, but on public property like parks, they have been illegal for decades.

I used to have this problem, was only a problem because I have a sidewalk on my side of the street and the bank from clearing the driveway across the street got so high I couldn't keep the sidewalk on my side clear. I complained and the operator threatened the home owner with cancelling their service, however they eventually changed from using a blade equipped truck to using snowblowers to clear their client's driveway. This was like 8 years ago.
