Hello, I am looking to find a reliable handyman in the Brantford area to help out with some small jobs at my property I.e. repairing a toilet, flooring, painting etc. Would appreciate any recommendations or if you are someone who is handy person, please DM me. Thanks!

I just had a harrowing experience.

I live in a house turned into a triplex and on the top floor attic apartment on around Brant ave. You have to walk up a lot of stairs to get to my door outside and then a lot more once you open my door to get onto the landing inside my apartment. Its a work out. Ive lived here for 10 years and feel invisible to the world. Or so I thought.

1230am, getting ready for sleep for work tomorrow at 1130. Put my cpap on, starting to drift off. The light comes on in my stairwell at the bottom of my steps. I immediately step out of bed and run to the stairs down to my front door and there's a fucking GUY at the bottom of my stairs and looks at me. Before he could even say anything I fucking LOSE it. "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY PLACE RIGHT NOW OR IM CALLING THE COPS. GET THE FUCK OUT." He says something like "im sorry man, I thought this was my friend place "172" something" (I cant quite remember. I cut him off again and said i dont give a fuck get the fuck out right now or im calling the cops.

He backs out of my apartment and rakes like 4 steps backwards and I slam the door shut and lock it and am standing at the door and hear him mumble something to me and I just said fuck off get the fuck out of here or im calling rhe cops.

Like 4 minutes pass and I had heard him step down my steps and I didnt know what else to do as I was freaking out with adrenaline.

I stupidly opened the door and looked out and said you better be fucking gone (to no one) and I noticed he was at my neighbour's backyard fence (our backyards connect) and i screamed at him from quite a distance to get the fuck out of the yard and leave now and he actually said to me "should've kept your door locked, you fucking idiot." To which i then said im calling the cops now and closed the door and locked it again and called them. Told them the terrible description I had (40s, white, brown jacket, didnt look homeless).

They came 15 mins later and of course he was gone after doing a coupoe laps around neighbouring blocks.

Don't know if im going to sleep tonight now. 😞

Before anyone wants to call me an idiot for it, yes, i already know im an idiot for not regularly locking my door when im home.

Believe me, that wont ever happen again.

I live in Brantford I would like to find a job where I can work from home any tips guys?

With the municipal election already here by early voting, and the Federal by-election some time in the next 6 months, I would encourage voters to remember how the Mayor and City council voted and sold a municipal, citizen owned, property simply because they were ineffective at balancing their budget.

The 2019 vote was secretly squeezed in. The 2020 vote resulted in years of legal battles, including the occupation of the golf course by Indigenous Canadians. The 2022 vote was done AFTER the municipal election that would see THREE of the yes voters not seek re-election.

It was a back room deal that was forced through by a lame duck council.

It is likely that if the vote were done with the newly elected council, the result would have been 6-5 AGAINST the sale.

The people of Brantford were clear: we did not want a public green space sold. Yet the council that promised NOT to sell it finalized the sale in a 2022 vote. All three votes were 8-3, with the same 8 voting for the sale, and the same three voting against.

Those who voted to sell a 100 year old municipal green space, and who did not seek Indigenous discussion on the sale, are Dan McCreary for Mayor, and Kevin Davis who will run in the Federal by-election.

The Conservative track record for selling Crown assets is appalling. What would Dan sell out from under us next?

Both Richard Carpenter and Brian Van Tilborg voted AGAINST the sale. Carpenter is running for Mayor, and Van Tilborg is running for Ward 5 Councillor.

People like McCreary and Davis will continue to use the false equivalent that the sale will fund affordable housing. There should be zero linking of the two. They are trying to appeal to your emotions, when the reality is they should have built housing without selling the only affordable golf course in town.

Other cities fund housing WITHOUT selling the green spaces that those residents would enjoy. Other cities do this WITHOUT the $5 million per year ($112 million cumulative) that the city receives from the casino.

When voting, don’t forget that McCreary and Davis sold us out last time. What really would change going forward?

My wife and i are moving to Brantford soon. What do you guys do for a getaway or something. We usually go somewhere out of town on drives but since we’re moving to Brantford, we’re hoping to explore the city a bit before we start visiting other places. Any recommendations?

Heres the expositors Q&A for Ward 1 Candidates. They are asked the following questions:

What is the most important issue in your ward?

If the city was awarded $10 million to spend, and you alone could decide how to spend it, what would you use it for?

What would you do to ease traffic congestion on city streets?

For Mayor and the Ward Councillors plenty of info is readily available online, here on Reddit, or via some news papers, but I cannot seem to find much information for the Schoolboard Trustees. Last option seems to be emailing each of them directly from the addresses on our Government Website, which I can do if necessary. But does anyone have any sources for some info online?

When Cash & Carry on Morton turned into Wholesale Club is it just a name change or did the place change entirely as well? (I've never been inside a wholesale club)

The Cahiague Homes is a notable place for my childhood and I was saddened when I seen it wasn't Cash & Carry anymore. I've never bothered to walk in but now i'm starting to wonder again since i just drove past.
