Politics Terry Whitehead misleading voters

Post image
25 Upvotes

This is just gross. JP Danko was 2 councillors ago. Whitehead would not have had my vote anyway, but deliberately trying to mislead voters should be more than enough to dissuade people from voting for him.

If he resorts to tricking people to get elected, what’s he going to resort to if he’s elected again? Oh wait, I know.. harassing his colleagues and intimidating them to the point of needing safety plans and sanctions against him. No thanks!

Roads & Transit One thing I notice about Hamilton

531 Upvotes

I’ve taken buses in Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, Etobicoke, Burlington, and Kitchener-Waterloo, but Hamilton is the only city where I hear so many people saying “thank you” as they get on and off the bus.
Hamilton might be a rough town, but this is such a nice touch

Politics Municipal Election - Poll Predictions?

Is there anything that indicates the predicted polling currently? The only thing remotely close is polymarket and I find it hard to consider that reliable.

If you were driving down Victoria Ave N around 3:15pm today and this fell out of your car, I moved it to the bus shelter (near Ferrie) so no one would run over it...hopefully I'm not cursed now.

Question Where to get HIV testing done?

10 Upvotes

I was sent a requisition from my doctor for a routine HIV test. They want me to go to a lab to get it done instead of an at-home test, which is all that seems to be coming up when I google this. I don't fuck so I've never been to a sexual health clinic or whatever, and I'm not sure if regular places like lifelabs do the test as it's on a separate form from the normal blood tests.

Where do you go if you need a lab test done to rule out HIV?

Question Looking for a good mechanic near Mohawk College

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m currently living at Mohawk College’s Fennell Campus while I’m at school, and my car is in need of some repairs.

I’m not very familiar with the mechanics in Hamilton, so I’m looking for recommendations for a trustworthy/reliable shop that I can bring my car to. Ideally somewhere relatively close to the Fennell campus, but I’m willing to travel a bit for a mechanic that people really recommend.

Any suggestions or personal experiences would be appreciated. Thanks!

Recommendations Needed Hamilton skin clinic recommendations?

9 Upvotes

I am specifically looking for a clinic that will give me a good skin consult without pushing injectables on me. My skin concerns are improving over all texture and dullness.

I am open to microneedling, lasers, peels etc and genuine skin advice but no injectables. I have tried to consult with 2 clinics recently and all everyone seems to recommend are fillers. Would love recommendations if you've had a good experience improving your skin.

Food Lunch options downtown-ish on a Saturday

6 Upvotes

Hi all. Born and raised here but dont know the new food scene downtown.
I am going to be there with a friend and our kids 7-9 yrs old) for an event and want to go somewhere “fun” for lunch. My first thought was Hambrgr and its still a good option but hoping to hear other suggestions.
Kids aren’t too picky but would probably not be too interested in asian cuisine … thai, sushi, etc.

For those that are cool and know the food scene, where should we go?

Discussion Thank you for sharing your city

373 Upvotes

My best friend and I spent this past weekend in Hamilton to celebrate my 50th birthday. We’re from the Pittsburgh area, so it honestly reminded us a lot of home including the bumpy streets and no one stopping at stop signs. 😉 If you want, you can add the Pittsburgh left. We got to go to the Art Crawl. We had lots of good food. We are so jealous of your used bookstore selection especially The River Trading Company and N2N Books. We bought enough books, they fell on the US border agent when she made us open the trunk. She was warned. We hiked to some waterfalls and visited the RBG. We visited several of the HR filming locations and took a day trip up to Goodwood. All in all, we had a fabulous time and chatted with so many great locals, and I just wanted to say thanks.

(Not really a discussion but I had to choose a flair.)
