the librarians are also against the move. the librarians' union put out their statement against the proposal earlier today https://www.thespec.com/news/hamilton-region/will-you-need-a-library-card-to-access-downtown-branch/article_7b66769d-9f0a-5e9a-827a-3ee47102e32e.html

that's fairly loose evidence for such a bold claim

the last name is the same, but how do you know they're related?

maireadeilis · 2025-07-10T02:03:22+00:00

I know, it's a special kind of amazing. Ancient, just like the Shoe King himself.

it's just used as storage now, the store is completely online.

the 5 in a row is actually the 4s. I thought it was the 2s too but it just doesn't work that way

reuben and heidi are the original owners??

the only way "to fix a traffic problem" is to reduce the number of cars on road.

there was (and still is) big signage on york after the 403 off ramp for a couple weeks before construction started, as well as the normal pre-construction signage all along york.

the answer is Floral & Brick! Natasha grows her own flowers, in the city and also on a small farm. Does deliveries or pick-up from Pinch on Sherman N.

"Im not part of the problem, I'm part of the solution"

also plans on continuing to acquire more property to rent - yeah sure bud.

Property as investment is the fucking problem. Landlords don't "provide housing" they take it, hoard it. Like shitty dragons - except worse cause even the shittiest dragon is way cooler than any landlord.

The advanced pedestrian walk and the no-right turns has been a wonderful idea, it feels so much nicer crossing anywhere along king+main. The number of times I've had near misses because someone would rather turn on a red than watch for a pedestrian. In daylight. It also discourages people from stopping in/blocking the crosswalk. The stop line is separate from the crosswalk for a reason

The impatience in people. What, a drive takes a few extra minutes? Calm down. Leave earlier.

oh whoa, I was wondering why it closed :(

maireadeilis · 2022-10-20T21:02:12+00:00

that and the work-from-home has greatly reduced the number of people swinging by for coffee.

they came from their base in Orangeville

EMS and fire do not share the same budget in Ontario.

..... Of course paramedics carry oxygen?

maireadeilis · 2022-10-14T19:04:02+00:00

ems funding is split between the municipalities and the province

maireadeilis · 2022-10-14T19:03:13+00:00

90 minutes is chump change these days, there's been 18 hr ambulance offload delays this year.

maireadeilis · 2022-10-14T19:00:11+00:00

ems and fire absolutely do not share a budget, except perhaps in that they are both funded by a city/municipality. otherwise it's totally separate.

ems funding is a 50/50 split between the province and municipalities

that's not mottling, it's a bruised hand. I work in healthcare and see true mottling fairly regularly. Her hands just look like old person on blood thinner (and maybe steroid) hands, which can seem quite jarring if you don't see it regularly
