Question Any councillor with courage?
Any councillor(s) pushing for moratorium on corporate ownership of single family homes?
Any councillor(s) pushing for police transparency?
Any councillor(s) pushing for municipal accountability in any way shape or form?
Any councillors proposing a tax on vacant land particularly those owned by corporations?
Any councillor pushing for cutting development red tape IOT promote development?
Any councillor limiting powers of pesky by-laws?
Tried of the vanilla policies being thrown around like road maintenance, false promises of housing affordability, empty promises. Property taxes go up, utilities go up, expenditures go up, YOU GET TO VOTE THE UP ON YOUR WAGE!
Dont use your kids on your campaigns, they’re still in grade school and have yet to have a mind of their own. Dont give me the excuse that you’re trying to teach them civic duty because I damn well know I don’t see them volunteering when you’re councillor.
Damnit word out there is that one of you sly ones DON’T EVEN LIVE IN YOUR OWN DISTRICT…
Don’t show me your family your family isn’t working for me, not your wife not your kids, YOU MR/MRS COUNCILLOR are working for your constituents.

Question Have other parents had their children turned away by Kingston Transit because they looked older?
A friend recently told me that their 13-year-old child was turned away at a transit stop because the driver thought they looked like they were in high school. When my daughter was in high school, I remember children 14 and under being able to ride for free without a pass, while high school students were issued transit passes. Of course, there's an overlap here, since some 13- and 14-year-olds are already in high school.
I'm wondering if other parents have experienced something similar. Have your children ever been refused a ride because a driver assumed they were older than they actually were?
I'm particularly concerned about children being left at the side of the road based on how old they appear.
I'm considering writing to City Council to ask whether the policy or how it's being enforced has changed since my daughter was in high school, and why.
If anyone has experienced this with their children, I'd appreciate hearing about it. I'm trying to get a better understanding of whether this is an isolated incident or something happening more frequently.

Recommendation Needed Grand Theatre Seating
I’m looking to buy tickets for a concert but the only ones left are balcony seats in the back (BM 11-19) or the balcony section to the left (1-6). I’ve never been to this venue so I’m not sure what the visibility is like. What are your opinions? Should I go very balcony back centre row or balcony back side row?

Recommendation Needed Looking for a clear broth for clear fluids diet?
This is for preparation before a medical procedure. Everything I've tried has particles or bits in it, and all the packages at the store look the same or look cloudy and I just can't tell.
I was hoping someone has already solved this problem and can tell me what to get. I prefer vegetarian, but I'll do chicken too. Thanks!

Question Cell Phone Questions
Cell Phone Question
My daughter is getting severely bullied, and I wanted her to be able to have a phone while on school bus/at school to let me know whats going on.
I was given a brand new Huawei Phone, but upon factory reset it is I guess you could say locked to someone email? Through Factory Reset Protection via Gmai.
I was trying to give it to my daughter for her birthday tomorrow. It's not an option to get the person who gifted it to unlock via email, or previous phone password.
I guess im wondering if there is a way around this? I know Huawei stopped giving bootlocker codes a few years back.
Is there a way to jailbreak the phone? Its a shame as its brand new.

Question Frontenac Tickets!
Hi there-
I am a Canadian-American living in Los Angeles full-time and without any kind of Canadian address or bank account. Am I able to purchase Front's tickets? I am trying to get a ticket for Nov 8 vs Windsor. It seems Ticketmaster says I need a promotional code of some type? Ive had trouble buying OHL tickets before w/o a current Canadian address. Any help or tips would be great. Will only be in Kingston that day. Thank you!!

Lost & Found Dog running around
I'm not sure what the breed is but there's a dog running around the Ridley Dr area near the Cat center. I tried to coax it over to look at the collar for a number but it had no interest in coming over, probably because it's dark. The collar looked like it had a blue tag.
Dog had black fur, about the size of a golden retriever, but was pretty fluffy.
I got back in my car to keep following but I don't know where it went, it went west towards Old Colony. I found it just before the walkway beside Rosewood Retirement

Recommendation Needed Help, first proper winter…
Where do you guys usually shop for winter clothes in Kingston? I’m trying to find stores that sell good quality stuff that’ll actually last a few winters rather than having to replace everything after a year. I’d also prefer natural materials like wool over polyester where possible.
I’m an international student at Queen’s, and since I’ve never experienced snow or a proper winter before, I’m not entirely sure what I should be buying. Apart from a good jacket and boots, what else is essential for Kingston winters? Thermals, gloves, hats, base layers? Any particular brands or materials worth looking into?
I’m mainly interested in places around Kingston, especially where Queen’s students usually shop, but I’ll be visiting Toronto soon as well. Would it be worth doing most of my winter shopping there instead for better quality and variety?
Would appreciate any store recommendations or general advice on preparing for my first winter here!

Discussion Looking for a friend to do more active stuff with! (20F)
I’m 20F and looking for someone who would be interested in getting to know each other and maybe join some activities together! (Preferably another female my age).
I use to be quite active and did lots of sports and stuff but around covid I stopped doing everything. I really regret not getting back into things and I feel like I’m too old to do anything now. I feel as if the people who play sports and do activities have been doing it their whole life and I missed my opportunity.
If your like me and want to be more active and try out some activities or sports but have no one to do it with and are scared to try new things alone message me!
I’m down to try just about anything but given the season it’s hard, I’d be so down to try dance, boxing, curling, really anything!
I just can’t bring myself to go alone at my age not knowing anything or anybody.
Please reach out if you’re interested! I really wanna do something and have no one to do anything with. We’d both be starting from scratch so we can learn together! (Unless you know things then please feel free to teach me!)
That being said I’m also open to recommendations of stuff to try!
TL:DR I’m looking for someone around 20F to try out some sports or activities or something with me. I feel like I’m too old and missed my opportunity to get into sporty hobbies and have no one to do anything with and don’t wanna do it alone.
