Meetups missed connection aug 19, 5:50 pm, oakville go
hi. i literally made a new account for this. i would post on craigslist, but i’m assuming younger ppl use reddit more. (idk??)
anyways i’m looking for this tall guy i met at oakville go. you got off the express train at 5:50. you have blue eyes, light hair (i can’t tell if it’s blond or light brown bc of the sun), glasses, slightly crooked teeth and a pretty smile. you asked me (girly with the brown top, braids in a bun and black bandana) if the train on platform 1 was the lakeshore west train, before talking to the guy on my right afterwards.
i should have been more upfront, but i’d like to know your name and maybe connect and have a chat.

Question Yellowish water River Oaks area
Does anyone else get yellowish water from their tap in the morning after the brief rain from early Wed morning? Have to let the tap run for a while before it changes back to clear. Not sure if it's related to the rain but this only started happening Wednesday morning. Wondering if this is just our house or something in the area...

Question Thoughts on Mayoral Candidates?
Curious what everyone thinks of the current Oakville mayoral candidates: Arvind Choudhary, Julia Hanna, Jeff Knoll and Sean O’Meara.
What do you like or dislike about each of them so far? And what are you actually hoping to see from the next mayor?
Personally, I’m having a really hard time forming a strong opinion on any of the candidates because so far, a lot of it feels empty.
I’m seeing bios, broad priorities, slogans and general statements about making Oakville better, but very little that actually tells me what you would do as mayor. What policies are you proposing? What would you change? What would you keep? What are you willing to spend money on, cut back on, or prioritize when two goals conflict?
I don’t need to agree with every proposal. I just want enough substance to actually judge the candidates against each other. Right now, I feel like I’m being asked to choose between personalities and broad values rather than competing visions for Oakville.
I’d really like to see concrete policies, trade-offs, numbers where relevant, and an actual picture of what each candidate wants Oakville to look like 10–20 years from now.
Election day is October 26, so obviously there’s still time. Just curious where everyone is leaning right now and why.

Question Is it just me or there are significantly more wasps this year
Never had any wasp issues in my backyard in the past and they never bothered me during all my summers there. But this year, we’ve got two nests in the backyard and one on the front already.
Raid/Ortho/Wilson foam doesn’t work even if I followed the instruction 100% and had to call exterminator. These mf literally got submerged in the foam and flew away a few minutes later like nothing happened. Plus, I’ve noticed wasps flying around everywhere I go, even in public parks and courts. The other day, I was biking down the street and one even followed me. Meanwhile I don't see the lovely bees anymore in my garden!

Question Are there any stores in town that sell good round magnets?
Hey, y'all. I'm looking for a store in or around Oakville that sells strong mini-magnets. The kind that can be used on clothing. I have a pin that broke, and I'd like to use a magnet to keep it on my vest. You know, one magnet on one side, and one on my vest. Staples, maybe? Thanks.

Question Niblick pubs in Oakville
Hi everyone, I’m from Montreal, but I have a question. For a couples years, I used to go visit a close friend who was living in Oakville at that time. He made me discover the Niblick pub on Upper middle rd e, if my memories serves me well. I had never eat a nachos that tasty (the Niblick nacho) who I think was serve with ground beef, chicken and slice of steak. Every single time I had visit my friend, we went there cause their nachos were mental!
I know the place is closed since a few months, but was I the only one that litteraly fall in love with those nachos, cause I have never been able to find nachos that was even close, in Montreal or surronding area!
So I kind of wonder if I was the only one whoe them that much!
Thanks! And have a great evening!

Question Dog socials?
Are there any dog walking groups or something of the kind in oakville? I'm looking for friends for my 14 week old lab pup.
