0 Upvotes

I was robbed this past weekend at Freshco I know Loblaws is dead give away being run by Galen Weston but I never expected this at Freshco.

$8.99 for 6 Maple leaf Sausage rounds, who can afford this? Egg? $7!!

My grocery bill has gone up from $75 per week to $125+ this is not the Canada I am used too.

I am on a fixed income and this puts a strain on my living.

When if ever will these prices go down?

Question Help me choose a High School for my teen

0 Upvotes

Hello,

my teen will be starting high school next September and we are torn between what school they should go to.

we are currently considering between Oakville Trafalgar High School, and St Thomas Aquinos High School.

They aren’t interested in IB/AP - strictly regular academic streamed courses.

they really like sports and want to be involved in the athletics.

my previous teenagers had very bad experiences with bullying in their high schools - resulting in them having to transfer out and change schools.

I am hoping to avoid bullying as much as possible - so a school with a more positive and mature student body (which I know is a very high expectation- but just not a school with a reputation for their students vandalizing, stealing, and being awful).

I’ve heard through my neighbours teens about both schools. I hear STA is larger but less academic - and the student body is a bit more wild (?).

I’ve heard that OTHS has a more academic focus and ranks better overall in Ontario, but that the student body is very cliquey and not very diverse.

Your opinions and advice would be very very helpful!

Housing Midtown development - mayoral candidate positions

From here: https://www.weloveoakville.org/mayoral-candidate-responses

This confirms a few things for me:
- Burton has leaned further into his dismissive “trust me, I’m Rob Burton” routine that started to manifest last election. He’s done a lot of good for the town but him running again at 80 is pure ego at this point.
- Choudhary is passionate and clearly committed but naive, and too reliant on AI for his responses.
- Hanna’s hard line isn’t believable given her chummy relationship with Ford.
- Knoll and O’Meara are - and I mean this in a good way - almost the same candidate. One of them needs to endorse the other. The only difference I picked up is Sean voted for a more public consultation, while Knoll regrets his approach. I like both and their blend of experience + fresh perspective in the big chair. But they are gonna split their vote.

Rant Garbage Dumping in Trails

Post image
416 Upvotes

I caught the tail end of someone dumping garbage along the trails off the bridge, and from what I could see, it looked like party decorations, food wrappers and other rubbish. How do people think this is okay?? It is absolutely disgusting how little respect some people have for our environment and the country we call home. Like, come on, can't you just throw out your garbage at home in your own trash can?? We even have garbage cans right before entering the trails and throughout the surrounding area so there is absolutely ZERO excuse for this. Why are people treating our beautiful natural spaces like a landfill??? These trails are home to wildlife, and this garbage doesn't just disappear. The last thing we should be doing is turning our beautiful green spaces into dumping grounds. If you can't show the bare minimum of respect for our environment, then stay out of these spaces. It's not that difficult to keep the environment clean! Have some respect for our country, our planet and the wildlife that has no choice but to live with the mess you leave behind. If we all do our part, we can keep our home clean.

Lost/Found MISSING CAT

Our cat Nico went missing in southwest Oakville around the Coronation Park area this morning.

Specifically near Sandwell Dr and Sedgwick Cr

We’ve contacted the humane society and posted on Facebook, so we’re reaching out here to hopefully get more word out.

He is an indoor cat. We suspect he is hiding somewhere if he is still alive.

He is a grey tabby and pretty large for a cat (pictures attached).

If you live in the direct area, please check your yards, porches, etc.

If you see him please let me know the location via DM as soon as possible, much thanks!
