what the best website to look at candidates for the voting Monday need do some research

Hey pottery people, where can you buy clay, like the kind for firing in a kiln for pots. Apologies for not knowing proper terminology.

I am looking for recommendations for a compassionate, highly skilled dentist who is taking new patients. I live in Hamilton Centre and would prefer a clinic close to me, but I am open to traveling elsewhere in the city for the right fit. I have all my dental x-rays from 2026, and going back several years, and will provide them to the new dentist.

I’ve had very bad past experiences in the dental chair, but my recent consultation with a prosthodontist showed me that a calm, kind environment makes a huge difference and completely changes how I handle dental visits. I need a clinic that provides that same supportive atmosphere.

What I need:

• Specific Restoration Work: Need a proper composite restoration on a back molar—replacing a failed composite patch and filling an active decay spot on the exposed, recessed root surface (I have detailed notes/guidance from a recent prosthodontist consultation on how it should be properly prepped and placed).
• Conservative Front Teeth Repair: Composite reinforcement on worn/chipped front teeth edges without aggressive shaving for crowns or veneers.
• Knowledgeable Billing & Admin Staff: Must be knowledgeable of, and experienced with CDCP, ODSP/Accerta, and proper billing codes (e.g., using a limited/specific exam code 01201 "Limited Oral Examination and Diagnosis for a New Patient" instead of forcing an unnecessary full 1.5-hour new patient exam when full, recent records are fully available).
• Respect for Health Records: An office that understands PHIPA and is willing to work with patient-provided X-rays and specialist notes rather than insisting on redundant imaging.

I live in Hamilton Centre, but if you know of a quiet, gentle dental clinic in the area that is great with anxious/neurodivergent patients and knows how to navigate CDCP/ODSP properly, I’d greatly appreciate your recommendations. 🙂

October has been dry so there is no water here whatsoever. That bike is not mine.

Driving past the entrance to Mohawk parking lot on Fennell, I noticed a sign for a base camp. Of course now I can’t remember what the (fake) name of the production was. Anyone know?

Has anybody been experiencing seasonal allergies just the last couple of days? I don’t know what I’m allergic to but I’m sneezing like crazy. The weather network is reporting low or no pollen and allergens, but there must be something out there that’s getting me. Not usually allergic to anything.

I like reading and doing work for hours at the library, so anywhere with a good variety of titles and lots of space to sit is ideal. I live closest to Barton branch and dislike how small it is - plus the parking is a nightmare.

Please no comments about drug addicts on steps or in chairs inside. That could be any one of us and the library is there to help everyone. I just want to know what your favourite branch is and why :)

I'm not asking you to reveal your secrets, I just read the dumpster diving subreddit sometimes and wonder if it happens here much. I do see homeless/addicted people looking sometimes if I walk by, but does anyone else do it recreationally, do you do well?

This tournament is equivalent to the FA Cup for Canada. Forge took down CF Montreal (MLS) in penalties at Stade Saputo in Montreal on Wednesday night.

I noticed that along King St E from Gage Park almost to Wear's Florist, the city removed the 40 km/hr school zone speed limit signs and replaced them with community safety zone signs. There are no 40 km/hr signs there anymore. This is shocking especially since there's a bunch of schools in the area, people speed along that stretch and there's been so many pedestrians hit lately. I don't understand the goal of removing the 40 km/hr signs while not increasing speed limits along the Red Hill.

But anyway, what is the speed limit there in the community safety zone? I've googled it and have read conflicting info whether the speed limit is 30, 40 or 50.

Anybody know what's going on at Saltlick? I walked by this afternoon with people literally ripping out the interior.

cat ran out the door. has a grey mesh harness. if anyone sees anything please let me know.

dayman is up to date with his rabies and vaccines unfortunately he is not microchipped. If anyone sees anything please reach out to me he means a lot to me and at this time has been helping me with the hard times.

he most likely will be scared from the trains in the area so im not sure how far he may have ran but I’ve looked in the general area.

19 Hess St used to be my fave Mexican restaurant. It was never really busy unfortunately but their food was SO GOOD! And their birria was the best my partner and I have ever had. We noticed a couple months ago they were doing renovations and constructions, but now it looks like it’s a Turkish place!! Does anyone know if the owners just moved to a smaller spot?? Please I need their birria

Anyone know if there is any reliable polling for the Mayors race?

I’m still trying to make up my mind and leaning towards and ABC vote - Anyone But Cooper

Any data out there to point who has the best chance against him?

Has anyone caught this? I happened to be walking by the kiddo watching a Youtube video this morning and an ad break came up with some anti-Loomis ad about "which Loomis are we getting" or something to that effect. I have adblockers for my PC and don't watch Youtube on my phone so I haven't been able to go and re-watch it, but the only branding that it's for Andrea is the fine print "authorized" phrase in the bottom left corner. There was no purple/yellow colouring, just the Loomis nitro yellow-green backing on the text. No comment on who to vote for, just who not to vote for.

It looks like she's pretty desperate to be throwing up attack ads with only a couple of days left in the campaign. I have to wonder, why now? Why did she abandon her "nowhere man" tag for him? Why no comment about Cooper (I assume she sees only Loomis as the threat, or the ad was created a few weeks ago)?

Are there any other ads like this that she's running?

A midweek post to rant and complain about things in the city.

Top level comments must be IN ALL CAPS.

This is not to be targeted towards other users or any identifiable individuals - with the exception of public figures who may be mentioned as long as the comment does not cross a line. The rant post is designed to be a lighthearted place to complain about things happening in the city, not a place to harass people.

We will have to cancel the post if harassment of individuals continues as we are seeing a lot of posts reported with report reasons that copy to admin.
