This was Monday just before 3:00pm. He tried to pass a transport truck, crane, and 6-8 regular vehicles all at once by driving on the wrong side of the road into oncoming traffic. Lost control of his vehicle. Also, this happened in a school safety zone. He offered me $100 to fix my car if I promised not to call the police.

Edit to add: Yes I called the police and yes he was charged with careless driving.

Seems pretty extreme to be monitoring the partying with snipers.

Because I haven’t seen enough info about this online. This person sexually assaulted a young girl in broad daylight. Completely at random. He’s now out on bail and this is concerning. Apparently lives in a house with several other men and possibly an Amazon driver. Be aware.

My chest freezer got stolen only 8 minutes after delivery. It's been a few weeks and I got my refund from Best Buy already. Filed a police report, but they didn't seem to care.

Province wide protest of Doug Ford https://protestdougford.com/

please keep an eye out for these racist stickers posted around king street uptown Waterloo. i’ve taken down quite a few already. colonialist ideology like this has no place in our city or in our country.

I was horrified to see an innocuous-looking, laminated (!) flyer for the Dominion Society in UpTown this morning. They are a white nationalist group (https://www.antihate.ca/white_nationalism_in_canada_organized_emboldened_and_growing) who just had a rally in Hamilton. I took down their flyer, but please don't let their racist ideas become acceptable here. Your immigrant neighbours aren't the reason you're struggling; corporations and billionaires are.

Unexpected result. feel bad for all those 76 complainants - and all those others who might have been affected

edit: found not guilty. Can't edit post title.

Never seen it this bad.

For those with breathing issues, watch out for smoke tomorrow.

Weather network and other forcast models are pointing to a pretty bad day for air quality with wildfire smoke from fires in northern ontario.

Its supposed to get worse as the day goes on and last until possibly friday.

As of 1:45 PM on Wednesday, the AQI is 510 in central Waterloo. Maroon level starts at 225 AQI and is defined as "Health warnings of emergency conditions; everyone should avoid all outdoor exertion."

Thursday Update: AQI is at the same maroon level, at 227 and falling as of 10:45 AM.

Stay inside, run your HEPA filters if you have them, and wear an N95 if you need to be outside.

Just got a call from a local 226 number. I answered it and the caller identified herself as Vanessa from Aire One. Based on the delays in her responses and peppiness of her tone, it became pretty clear this was an AI call agent. I do not have any services with Aire One, yet she was adamant that I had not booked my annual furnace maintenance yet and that I should do so.

I guess I’m just more shocked that this type of AI use is allowed than anything else. Just seems so dystopian

Today I went to have a 'trial period' at one of the produce vendors as a worker. It went horrible. Lots of yelling, gross environment, drinks left spilt on the floor everywhere.

In the end, I was paid $10/hr for the 2 hours I worked. But even then, I came 10 minutes early and left 10 minutes late because the stall owner said she was 'busy' and couldnt let me go despite me saying I had a prior engagement. Lots of yelling, demeaning names, and zero training. I spoke at most 3 sentences to the owner (Tasha) herself today.

To everyone reading, avoid Tasha's Farm Fresh Produce like the plague. I seriously doubt anyone there is getting paid minimum wage let alone legally. The wage theft was already reported to all relevant organizations and the media.

Stay safe out there guys! Remember that as hard as it is to find a job right now, you are legally owed your minimum wage and to be compensated for all hours, including 'training' hours.

If you're the owner reading this, my silence costed $21 dollars. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

UPDATE 1: They reached out to me offering to pay my owed wages back and more. I'll update this post if I actually receive the compensation.

UPDATE2: Recieved the payment, so, the situation is resolved. I'll leave the post up but they did offer an apology and payment.

A bunch of police, fire, and ambulance, police tape, and a tarp over what I assume is a person (obviously not sure though). Anyone know what happened?

Haze from the wildfire smoke coming from Northern Ontario. Taken approx 11am and it's since gotten worse - stay safe folks!
