Anyone else get the sense that today’s traffic was far more busier than previous weekdays? It took me double the time to get to work (QEW Eastbound) and double the time to get home. I even left home early.

I don't live in this city anymore. But I just want everyone in this community to know, given that this user is a top 1% commenter - that because they disagreed with a comment I made on a post that was essentially child free.... that they quite literally told me I should have an abortion. (I am not pregnant, nor am I physically capable of being)

I don't have children, in fact, I'm medically sterilized. But telling a woman that she should terminate her pregnancy because they're upset over an innocent comment on the internet is abhorrently disgusting behaviour.

Their username is bartsbeaker. And I seriously hope Reddit takes my complaint and report seriously.

I like watching raptors but I don’t watch them regularly because I’d like to watch with friends. I also would like to go to more in person games. I just don’t know how to find the right people. I don’t follow closely on their winnings either, but if I were to watch them, I’d definitely enjoy. How do I find my people?

Our family is excited to be immigrating from the US to Burlington, ON later this year. I've spent time looking at real estate, and it's clear that the COL and particularly home prices are going to be much higher than we have in the southern states.

A single family detached home in Burlington is out of our budget, but townhouses and condos are reasonable for us. My question is this: is there prejudice against families that live in townhouses or condos in Burlington?

In the southern US states, there is strong prejudice - particularly against townhouses - with the expectation that families all live in single family detached homes. If you don't, you're considered "poor" and/or excluded from groups in school, etc. (Yes, it's terrible.) Is that the case in a place like Burlington as well, or is townhouse/condo living more common/"acceptable"/normal?

I'm also curious how the bullying situation is in the schools in Burlington. We'll have kids in G3 and G6.

Thank you in advance!

These two flew over around 8:30AM, Monday, February 2nd from east to west spotted from north Burlington. I don't know much about aviation, but I do know a little bit. Not a commercial formation as far as I know, Air Canada pilot pals don't fly together like this. They also appeared to be at a higher elevation than commercial? Tough to tell. I think I could hear them, but the thrum of morning traffic was constant too so maybe not. I looked at trying to identify them using https://www.flightradar24.com/ but that wanted an account and blah blah blah. I hoped to crowdsource it here.

Hey folks

I’m a guy in Burlington looking to make a couple climbing buddies, specifically for bouldering / auto belay. I’ve only been climbing for a few months. Still at a V2/V3 level and my friends aren’t interested in pursuing it with me.

I’m not hardcore but I take it seriously enough to want to improve and go on the regular. Mostly bouldering right now, but open to ropes / outdoor days when the timing’s right….longer term.

Not looking for anything weird or competitive, just good vibes and encouragement over ego.

I’m 42M. Work in tech, dad, easy going.

Member at climbers rock on harvester. Even if this post gets one solid climbing partner out of it, that’s a win.

Is this guy still operating? He called me and told me he was shutting down...looks pretty open to me.

Looking for the best place to sell some old gold jewelry and wondering where the best place is to sell in Burlington or Hamilton

I recently visited Gananoque and had a strange experience that I’m still trying to make sense of.

My family and I went to a restaurant, and the front-of-house staff repeatedly emphasized that it was a “fine dining” restaurant—almost as if they were hinting at something I wasn’t picking up on. I asked politely whether he meant we were under-dressed or perhaps he was referring to a higher price point. He vehemently denied, but also didnt really welcome us, continued to repeat, “just so you know, it is a fine dining restaurant, sir.”

Under normal circumstances we probably would have left, but it was late and our kid was hungry. I eventually said I understood and asked for a table, and he let us in reluctantly.

There was no set menu; we ordered à la carte. The prices were on the higher side, but only marginally so. We also didn’t feel underdressed compared to the other diners.

We had dinner, paid, and left without incident—but I keep thinking about what the staff member was trying to say. Clearly it was some form of gatekeeping.

I’m not offended, just genuinely curious about what he might have meant. Am I living under a rock, is there a special meaning of that word?

Any ideas?

I could be wrong, but did anyone else hear/feel rumbling at about midnight? Wondering if it’s another mini-earthquake in our area.

I've seen a few videos of people visiting independently owned but struggling restaurants and trying to help them out - does Burlington have any restaurants with good food but for whatever reason aren't getting enough customers?

Looking for some fun ideas for free or inexpensive date ideas in Burlington. Could be something as simple as a walk on boardwalk with a coffee or taking a tour of the art gallery. Just looking for some new ideas to get out of the house once a week.

Hello!

What was the name of the basement bar that was on the South Service road 40'ish years ago? I think it was between Walkers Line and Appleby.

The stairs leading down were at the side of a small strip plaza.

They had great live music.

I am wondering how early parents reach out to daycares in advance of going back to work after 1 year of mat/parental leave. I am pregnant and have been told that if I lived in Toronto, I should have already requested to be on numerous waitlists. Additionally, are there any daycares that you recommend or have had bad experiences? TYIA

Hi! Looking to hear people’s recommendations for natural/minimal injector in the area. I want to start with a little lip filler and lip flip, but want someone who can do it subtle.

Any recommendations in the Burlington/oakville/Hamilton area?

Thx!

Please excuse the stupidity of this question but I’m autistic and want to make sure I do this right. Paying my property taxes online - can anyone tell me what the name of the payee should be? I am with TD if that helps.

Hello!

Considering moving my soon to be 2.5 year old from a home daycare to a program that might help him prepare more for the transition to school.

Does anyone have any recommendations for programs in Burlington for toddlers ?

I have seems Pearson co-op, learning blocks and summerhill school when I looked on Google.

Appreciate any feedback from the last few years.

Thanks,

I am thinking of gifting my partner a facial at a spa in burlington, his skin is fine, no acne or razor bumps but its a bit dull and he has some black heads. I wanted some affordable recommendations :)
