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 …

I need to come up with more creative ways to say the usual “Hi. It’s me. Remember me?” because that’s getting old. Either that, or I need to show up more often. Either way, it’s municipal election time, and I’m going to try and put some useful info up here. Unfortunately, because life lifes and …

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 …

Here is an extremely helpful 2026 Waterloo Region municipal election guide courtesy of Citified. 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.

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 …

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 …

But I understand why they may not have wanted or been allowed to use it. Had they asked me, I’d have suggested Dripadvisor. Kidding aside, Flush and Tell: Waterloo Region sounds like it could be extremely helpful. And it’s nice to see that there appears to be an emphasis on accessibility. So often those concerns …
Rogers Sports and Media up and murdered six radio stations yesterday. Sportsnet 650 Vancouver, Sportsnet 960 Calgary, 660 NewsRadio Calgary, 1130 NewsRadio Vancouver, 95.7 NewsRadio Halifax, and most important to us living around here, 570 NewsRadio Kitchener. They did it for the same reason that all these cunts say they have to do it. I’m …

I still can’t believe that Cambridge, bastion of inclusivity that it is, was first out of the gate on this. My money would have been on Waterloo, which has finally followed suit. The City of Waterloo will stop using X (formerly Twitter) because it sees it as a bad place to be and fewer people …

If you’re a politician and you disagree with a court ruling, it’s fine to say so. By all means, feel free to calmly and rationally explain your issues with the judge’s decision and maybe even muse about possible next steps that your government may take if applicable. But at no time should you go out …
