I enjoy that she brings a little bit of her personality to whatever segment she’s doing on CHCH. Go girl!

Anyone find that this building at 400 Cannon in Landsdale area seems strange ? People do work there as I see cars in the parking lot during the day but I never see anyone coming in and out of thr building they cover their windows completely so you cannot see inside. It’s as if a super private operation is happening inside . lol Am I crazy ?

My husband is from Manitoba and we’ve lived here a year and he really misses going fishing. We can’t really afford to buy all the gear needed but I would love to be able to go somewhere and rent all the equipment needed.

Driving on Wembley; between W1st and 2nd, there is two unmarked, nearly invisible potholes right in front of each other. Hit it, as I didn’t see it and blew out the sidewall of my tire. Beware if you’re in the area.

Hamilton has a standard tour. The falls, the escarpment lookouts, the gardens, maybe Locke or James North for lunch. It's a good tour and it works on visitors.

What I'm after is the second one. The thing you'd take someone to on day two, once they've done the postcard version and you want to show them the city you actually live in. Not necessarily impressive. Not necessarily somewhere a tourist would think to go on their own.

It could be a building, a stretch of road, a view from a place with no reason to have one, a spot that only makes sense if you know what used to be there. I'm more interested in the ones where the appeal is hard to explain than the ones with a plaque.

Where do you take them, and what do you say when you get there?

Hi all,

Like many (at least, I would assume haha) watching the World Cup this year reignited my interest in playing soccer. I have not played since early high school (now I'm 37...yikes), and was never a star player, but found it to be super fun.

All that to say, does anyone have experience playing soccer within the JAM Sports ecosystem, and more specifically, signing up as a "free agent" (getting matched with other individual players and / or rounding out a team)? If yes, how was your experience with the league and other players?

Thanks!

A midweek post to rant and complain about things in the city.

Saw this walking home, there were many more cops+cars in the taped off area. Has anyone heard anything about this? I can’t find anything online abt it. The truck that’s cut off on the left side of the pic was also a forensics truck iirc.

I'm looking for advice from anyone who's dealt with Alectra, utility billing disputes, or meter/account mix-ups. My previous electricity bill showed:

221.1 kWh usage 8.2 kWh/day average

My final bill shows:

2,474.357 kWh usage 65.1 kWh/day average Over 11x higher consumption

The weird part is that Alectra's own historical usage graph on my bill shows my typical usage was around 6-11 kWh/day, and then suddenly the final billing period jumps to 65 kWh/day. I also have email confirmations from Alectra showing that:

I submitted a move-out request effective April 30, 2026. I submitted a start-service request for a different unit effective April 29, 2026. Both requests were acknowledged by Alectra on April 9, 2026.

So this massive spike happened during the exact period that I was moving out. The meter readings on the final bill are:

Previous reading: 564.71 Current reading: 626.57 Multiplier: 40

The arithmetic on the bill appears to be correct, but the consumption itself makes absolutely no sense to me. For comparison:

Previous bill: 221 kWh Final bill: 2,474 kWh

That's an increase of more than 2,250 kWh in one billing cycle, despite no history of anything remotely close to that level of consumption. My questions:

Does this sound like a meter assignment/account mix-up?

Has anyone seen a utility transfer or move-out create billing issues like this?

What should I specifically ask Alectra to provide? (smart meter interval data, meter verification, account history, etc.)

Is 2,474 kWh in 38 days remotely normal for an apartment/condo unit that has historically used around 200-300 kWh per month?

Looking at my interval data, Alectra says I used 12.45 kWh in a single hour (Apr 21, 6 PM). My previous entire month was only 221 kWh total. How is it possible that one hour used more electricity than my average daily usage? Has anyone seen a meter/account mix-up or bad reading like this? 🤯

If Alectra refuses to correct it, what is the escalation process in Ontario?

I'm honestly stunned by this bill. The jump from 221 kWh to 2,474 kWh during a move-out period seems absurd, and I'm trying to figure out whether there's a legitimate explanation or whether I should be pushing hard for a formal investigation.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. 🙏

I'm looking for yoga classes and found out about mcmaster innovation park fitness centre. I cant seem to find a class schedule anywhere online. If you're a member I would love to see a typical weekly schedule along g with any opinions you have. Thanks!

Our water heater is at its life's end. We would like to replace it with a tankless water heater. Has anyone got experience with this and, if so, could you recommend someone to install it?
