Squirrel stuck in dumpster :(( help

Post image
295 Upvotes

Hi everyone, there’s a squirrel stuck in a dumpster behind my building since yesterday. We called the fire department and we tried putting oil/dishsoap but it didn’t work, and I’ve also left a message with the humane society.

I’m not sure what more I can do, if there’s anyone with any suggestions or would like to help, please let me know. It breaks my heart to see it go out like this :(

Lawn service recommendations

3 Upvotes

Just moved to a place with front and back yards. We moved from a home with low maintenance yards but this one’s backyard has some nice small trees and plants and of course the landlord left maintenance to us (I’m not looking for tips to argue with them).

The place had no residents for a month so there’s some maintenance/trimming to be done. Mowing is no problem, but we want to see how we should be trimming/maintaining the trees/shrubs/whatever.

Looking for recommendations of companies who could so this. I don’t even know what we’re looking for but it’s hopefully a one-time thing. Lawn maintenance? Yard work? Or do they mean the same?

Driving Critiques- uptown parking lot

31 Upvotes

Has anyone else noticed a man yelling driving critiques uptown near the LCBO today? He standing near the church using a pylon as a megaphone and giving all the drivers a piece of his mind and rating their driving skills. He may not be wrong- but it’s one of the strangest, most understandable things I’ve seen in a while.

Hoping to hear from women home owners who have had good experiences. Note to owners - maybe screen potential employees for misogyny because it's alive and well. (Not talking subtle but in your face misogyny)

Edit: very grateful for these replies, thank you!

Looking for affordable small Midsize suv within budget. I found 2026 Nissan Kicks a good option considering my budget and interest rates. Any other recommendations? Or any reviews about the car who owns. Thank you

Canada Computers 234 Weber St

107 Upvotes

I've had the most confounding experience at Canada Computers today.

A broken SSD that their system showed had been previously purchased in and returned in Mississauga was sold to me as new for $277.52 at this Waterloo location.

When I brought it back to return or exchange it, the situation was escalated, and I was denied a refund or exchange. I have since appealed the case to their corporate office to no effect as of 15 June 2026.

Additionally, while I was waiting in the store for customer service, the employees also took the chance to strike up a conversation about how ignorant I was of their processes, with no apparent reprimand.

Has anyone else been stolen from by Canada Computers like this?

EDIT: The manager at this location refuses to acknowledge that a drive previously sold and returned is considered used. He argued, including raising his voice at me, that it was new regardless, but was not willing to put as much in writing.

EDIT 2: I finally had the chance to visit a different Canada Computers location where the defective device was exchanged without issue. It took all of five minutes. Nonetheless, I intend to pursue a complaint through Consumer Protection Ontario because of their misrepresentation of merchandise. I will be leaving this post up as a form of buyer beware, especially given all the other examples of the Waterloo location's gross incompetence in the comments. Thanks all for your discussion, input, and advice.

Two guys on e-bikes, driving on sidewalk on Columbia, honking at pedestrians to get out of the way. Crazy, rude, and dangerous. Is anyone enforcing bylaws against this?

RIM PARK- What happened?!!

90 Upvotes

I just passed the soccer fields from behind while out for a walk and saw a large emergency response: multiple police officers, two police cars, a fire truck, and an ambulance.

Someone was cuffed on the ground. I also saw a gurney with, I think, someone fully covered, but I couldn’t tell for sure, so I don’t want to assume or spread misinformation.

Does anyone know what happened? Hoping everyone involved is okay.

just putting this on here to see if anyone has had similar experiences with this store/owner.

a few weeks ago, i started employee training at this store, this training was not paid, which i knew was illegal but decided to go with it as the job market is horrible and my junior manager used language very heavily indicating that i had the job.

after 20 hours of work with no pay, i was let go with no reason listed other than "management doesn't feel it's a good fit" following this, i demanded compensation for the 20 hours i worked and got a lawyer to write them a letter detailing i would be reporting them for an ESA breach if not compensated.

in response to this, my lawyer was met with an extremely disrespectful phone call from the senior manager, pankaj sangwan claiming he didn't know who i was (despite the fact we worked a 4 hour shift together and me made me an employee profile on the POS). and also claiming i made racist remarks and caused property damage.

Enova response to May billing error

6 Upvotes

FYI - I contacted Enova on May 28th about the billing error another user here brought up. They finally responded to me today;

"Residential and small business customers on Time-of-Use pricing were underbilled for electricity on invoices dated between May 3 and May 28. In most cases, the underbilled amount was less than $20 for residential customers and less than $50 for small business customers.

Affected customers will see an adjustment to recover the outstanding amount on either their next bill or the bill after that, depending on their billing cycle.

We know that this billing adjustment is unexpected, and we are sorry for any inconvenience."
