Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Another helpful who should I vote for in the municipal election guide, this time thanks to CBC Kitchener-Waterloo. They asked all of the candidates in all of the races to name their top three priorities, talk a little about how they would work to address each one, and then tell us anything else they think …

Thank you for eventually piping down. It was nice that only two people had to ask you. Maybe it was more, but I’ll give you whatever credit that calls for because I only noticed the woman in front of us and the man who I believe came from somewhere off to our left. I think …

Railway investigators believe they have narrowed down the time of the crash to A) 8:54 p.m., B) 5:32 p.m., C) 7:01 p.m., or D) None of the above. I don’t remember ever getting this problem on a quiz when I was in school. If I did I’d likely still be there working on it.

There are a few editor endorsements and whatever the opposite of endorsements is, along with a variety of links to various resources to help you figure out the whens, wheres and whos of everything.

Am I the only one who heard that Skip the Dishes and Instacart were going to team up to offer each others services through both apps and wondered which one of them is about to be bought out? That has to be the goal here, right? How does it make any sense otherwise? Cannibalism is …
First is this song. It’s fun having something in your head that you can’t sing out loud because you’re spending the weekend with small children and old people. Happy Thanksgiving, by the way. I like the idea of writing about how much your own band sucks to save everybody else the trouble. I’ve been told …
If you’re living somewhere that has one, I hope that you’re planning to vote in your upcoming municipal elections. Here in Ontario, they’re on October 26th. If you want to vote but aren’t sure who to vote for, I don’t blame you. Municipal politics is hard. Provincially and federally it’s generally pretty clear what the …
This sounds like all kinds of fun and I want to play it. The London, Ont., teenagers behind “American Dictator,” a board game inspired by Donald Trump’s second term as U.S. president, are celebrating a major milestone. The team of 19 neighbourhood kids has sold more than 20,000 copies of their game to buyers in …
For all I know, bee bed therapy could be the greatest thing ever. Maybe it really does do wonders for the body and mind. But personally, I’m skeptical. I can’t recall a single time when the sound of a swarm of insects has calmed me down and bees generally scare the crap out of me …
Clearly I need to spend more time over at the mall. A new, rather fun sounding store opened there over the summer and this is the first I’m hearing of it. The Local opened on Saturday in Fairview Park Mall, bringing together about 80 Canadian vendors in one space. Co-owners Lorenz and Rizzy Manaig started …
