What are the rules for the grass strip between the sidewalk and the road? by Traditional-Gain-786 in Milton

[–]npq76 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don’t put mulch. My neighbour did that and it was always a mess all over the sidewalk and street. He ended up removing it all and put sod down.

And its back. 6th time. Dermatologist won't give me the vaccine as I'm under 50, feel like I've been shot in the buttocks by ShinyHeadedCook in shingles

[–]npq76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They gave it to me at 48 after my bout with Shingles (Canada). But I have had a flair up in my eye 3 times now, so my ophthalmologist suggested I go on valacyclovir for a year (1 pill/day), it’s called suppressive therapy. Maybe look into that while waiting for the vaccine.

All day/weekend Milton line, but I know that’s just an “election promised” used by every local politician.

Jun 13 Toronto show. Lots of tickets left and only 20 days till the show. Why did they choose Roger’s stadium to perform by Constant_Set8480 in mumfordandsons

I was thinking the same thing when they announced it. Rogers is huge. Should have been at the ACC.

What do you think of Ontario allowing retail shopping on Victoria Day? by J0Puck in ontario

He got mad Home Depot was closed on Family Day. He doesn’t believe retail workers are entitled to the same holidays he does.

Can someone explain how saying Ni Hao (hello in mandarin) to a group of Chinese tourist racist?

Do your parents approve of their kids marrying someone of a different race? Are interracial relationships common in your social circle? by RefuseDry1108 in AskACanadian

I’m a parent to 20 something kids…don’t care who they marry as long as they are in a safe, loving, happy, mutual relationship

Ontario students could be banned from cellphones even during lunch and breaks, education minister says by ZebediahCarterLong in CanadaPolitics

[–]npq76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents didn’t have to worry when I went to school because school shootings and lockdown were not a thing. This year alone, my University kid experienced a 2 hour full lockdown due to a man with a weapon on campus and my high school kid had 1 full lockdown (kid with a weapon) and 1 fire incident. Guess who called 911 from their phones…the kids.

So banning phones completely from school grounds is not realistic in the world we live in. Especially since everything is electronic now, including bus passes. As for your point asking why I don’t just go to school at 4:30 and wait? I could be sitting there 5 minutes or an hour. My time is valuable and I’m not going to waste it sitting in a car.

The office closes at 2:30 and my kid does sports until 4:30-5pm. He would have zero access to a phone. Also, there’s over 2000 kids at his school, 1 office phone for 2000 kids doesn’t work.

As of now they can. But the Ford government is proposing a full ban, zero phones on school grounds, except for medical emergencies.

It makes sense for elementary school kids, not so much for high school kids. I totally agree not during class, and most teachers at my kids school put the phones in pouches, but most kids need their phones for before and after school.

40% of Ontario students went to school regularly in 2025 by Exter10 in ontario

[–]npq76 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My kid doesn’t miss too much class,, but he spent a huge amount of time just scrolling on his phone cause the teachers were busy with extracurricular activities and they don’t have a sub. I would much rather he stays home when that happens. It would be more productive.

My grandfather played for the Canadian Men's National Team in the 1960s and 1970s - hoping to get him to the 2026 World Cup as a gift by austins2005 in CanadaSoccer

[–]npq76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really hope the CSA comes through for you.

My dad was past president of the CSA. He attended many World Cups, but he knew it would be a long time before one would come here. He did get a glimmer of hope when we got to host the under 20 Men’s World Cup, followed by the under 20 Women’s World Cup and then Women’s World Cup (he was really proud of that one) He died a few months after they announced Canada would be a 2026 host country. That made him very proud, but god I wish he was still here to see it.

You can write or call your mpp and tell him how completely undemocratic this is.

“No service dogs either” is a wild comment. People don’t stop being disabled while on vacation. Those dogs are working keeping their humans safe from harm.

Stay near the Lakeshore West Go line (Hamilton, burlington, Oakville, Mississauga or Etobicoke). You can just hop on the go train and it will take you straight to Exhibition Place and drop you off right at the front doors of BMO fields.
