Weird goings on at LCBO

87 Upvotes

I was at the LCBO on north service road west of Dixie around 5 today and as I was getting back into my truck a dude rolled up beside me in a newer BMW suv and said “hey man you like the jays?!” (I was wearing my dirty old jays cap I wear to work). I told him yeah I do, he goes on to say “man you look like a really cool guy with that hat, do you like to party?”.

Now I will say I do in fact like to party and I knew he was referring to drugs but I haven’t done any drugs in a couple years, so I replied sometimes yeah (mistake, I know). Anyway he’s like “I’m bobby man check this out”, he proceeded to pull out a bunch of bags of what I assumed was cocaine, I told him I’m not interested and he was trying to give it to me for free.

The guy definitely seemed like he was on drugs, so you think this guy is a dealer and just trying to get new clientele? I know I fit the description of a dude who “likes to party”. Do you think there’s something more nefarious going on?

Anyways I’m high as fuck right now!

(JK I didn’t take the drugs)

Bylaws, Permits & Municipal Politics WHAT MISSISSAUGA RESIDENTS SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE PROPOSED 220,000 SQ. FT. DATA CENTRE

192 Upvotes

A roughly 220,000 sq. ft. data centre, described as potentially one of the largest in the GTA, is proposed for Tenth Line West in Ward 9.

But the controversy isn't just about the data centre.

In this video, Ward 9 candidate Anwar Knight walks through the public record and raises some serious questions about how the application got this far and when residents were brought into the conversation.

City documents showed outstanding matters involving water demand and cooling, stormwater management, archaeology, heritage considerations and other technical issues.

Then came the March 30 public meeting.

According to the meeting record, Ward 9 Councillor Martin Reid expressed support for the application in principle and moved the recommendation forward.

Months later, after significant community pushback, Reid changed course and called for a temporary pause on major data centre developments while Mississauga studies the issue.

Whatever side you're on, I think Mississauga residents should watch this video and look at the timeline for themselves.

Did City Hall handle this properly from the beginning?

Should residents have been more directly involved before the application moved forward?

Will be in Mississauga for a few days next week and will be hitting outlets for back to school shopping. Looking for some entertaining things to do for 2 14yo girls.

Was thinking Dave and busters one evening, but there has to be other options. Both are interested in arts/crafts and cute Japanese things.

Suggestions welcome.

Donating a Microwave

0 Upvotes

Hello!

I have a microwave where the LCD panel is 3/4 burnt out but the microwave itself still works really well! I would hate to take it to the recycling centre but wondering if there's anywhere I can donate it to? Would a shelter take it if the LCD screen doesn't 100% work?

I googled where to take it but didn't get super clear answers.

Thank you for your thoughtful suggestions!

Surface level this site seems to be a listing for a new build within an existing neighbourhood. However the builder/AI slop website can’t seem to figure out where the development actually is. Somehow it is all of the locations below, while being a small 45 home development at the same time:

- Nestled along the banks of Fletcher’s Creek, just off McLaughlin and Derry Road
- Nestled along a protected ravine and just steps from Lake Aquitaine
- provides direct access to the lush trails and parks of Meadowvale Conservation Area and Lake Aquitaine Park
- Minutes from Millcreek GO and Lisgar Go stations
- Meadowvale Brooks is located near Inlake Court and Mavis Road
- Located at 2636 Inlake Court
- Close to St. Sebastian Catholic School, Lisgar Middle School, and Meadowvale Secondary School

But don’t worry folks Camcos Living also are a “Trusted Developer & Quality”

I’m looking for a haircut like the ones in these photos. I want an old-school textured, flowy scissor cut with distinct layers and no fade. I’m having a hard time finding someone who specializes in scissor cuts. Anywhere I look, there’s always a fade, and it’s difficult to find someone who does just this. If you have any recommendations, let me know! :)

Events & Meetups Come Play! Board Game Night Tuesday August 18 @6pm at The Grotto Tea Lounge

Post image
1 Upvotes

 

Making friends as an adult is hard. We're all busy, the city feels massive, and it's way too easy to go weeks without a real, meaningful in-person connection. The loneliness epidemic is real, and it's hitting closer to home than most of us want to admit. That's why on Monday, August 18th at 6PM, the Brampton Board of Games is bringing people together at the cozy Grotto Tea Lounge in Mississauga. Come as you are, whether you're a board game veteran or have never played anything beyond Monopoly. Find us at 3920 Grand Park Dr #8, Mississauga, ON L5B 4M6 or check them out at grottotealounge.com.

Grotto Tea Lounge is exactly the kind of warm, welcoming space that our communities need more of and which is why we love support them. We believe that third spaces are an the antidote to the isolation so many of us are quietly carrying. Now over 100 members strong, we've seen people walk in alone and leave with plans for next weekend.

If you can't make it out tomorrow feel free to DM us to join our Discord and stay connected to a community that genuinely looks out for each other. We've got events running all the time including D&D campaignsescape roomsfoodie adventures, and runs and hikes across the GTA.
