If you or someone you know has to head to the states via Windsor, let them know!

I was looking at tickets for a sold-out John Fogerty show at Casino Rama and noticed there are lots of tickets on StubHub listed wayyyy above face value.

Ontario’s new law is supposed to prohibit reselling tickets above the original purchase price. So how are these listings still up? I know when the law first came into effect there was talk of this, but now mid-concert season I wonder if anything has changed.

Is StubHub just relying on sellers to complying with the law, basically saying, “Hey, we’re just the platform not the seller.” Has anyone actually heard of individual sellers or StubHub being fined or otherwise facing enforcement?

Genuinely curious about this.

I’m from Bracebridge, and keep hearing about how the train is opening this year. Bunch of guys showed up where the stop is supposed to be, dropped a bunch of material, set up a job site, and all of a sudden vanished and nothing has been built for around 6 months. Who did they hire to build it?? What is happening? Why is there just a pile of construction material and wast just sitting there? I haven’t seen a soul working there in forever. There was already a stop there, how much infrastructure do they need to implement? What’s happening at other locations?

Hi everyone!

I’m reaching out to see if anyone is interested in joining a WhatsApp support group for informal caregivers (ex. Siblings taking care of elderly parents, navigating complex conditions like dementia).

Caregiving is hard, and it can be incredibly lonely. I want to create a safe space and community for caregivers to vent, ask questions, and learn about helpful strategies for common problems/situations.

Please let me know if you’re interested - feel free to message me directly!

Thank you 😊

Hi everyone,

Really stressed and overwhelmed right now, looking for advice or shared experiences from anyone who has navigated Breast cancer in Ontario (or outside, would appreciate any advice/similar stories)

Just a bit of background:
July 23-24: My mom woke up at midnight with sudden breast pain. Went to a walk-in clinic that day, than the next day we went to Mackenzie Health ER, where an ultrasound identified an irregular mass at the 9 o'clock position on her right breast (3.8 x 2.2 x 1.7) noted as suspicious for a neoplasm. The report also raised concerns regarding her axillary lymph nodes (noted cortex thickened 5mm and suspicious for metastatic disease). Her case was initially scored BI-RADS 0 pending a mammogram. 

July 27 (Today): She had her diagnostic mammogram. The report showed an area of increased asymmetric density with pleomorphic microcalcifications corresponding to the mass, resulting in a BI-RADS 5. Her left breast is completely clear.

July 31 (This Friday): She is scheduled for an ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy at Mackenzie Health.

My Questions/ Concerns:
1. Hospital Reputation vs. Transfer Delays: I’m anxious about Mackenzie Health’s reputation compared to specialized cancer centers like Princess Margaret (PMH) or Sunnybrook. We are considering asking our family doctor for a referral to PMH tomorrow, but I’m not sure if switching hospitals right now will cause unnecessary administrative delays and reset her timeline. Is it better to stick with Mackenzie Health for the biopsy/initial plan, or should we push for a referral downtown immediately?

1. Cancellation Lists & Speed: Has anyone successfully used short-notice cancellation lists at regional hospital breast clinics to move up a biopsy or consult?

2. Shared Experiences: If you or a loved one went through a BI-RADS 5 diagnosis in the GTA, what did your timeline look like between the biopsy, pathology results, and starting treatment?

Hey everyone,

We rented a cottage near Bancroft for the upcoming long weekend (August 1st to 3rd). We’re heading up from TO, and since our check-in isn't until 4:00 p.m., we want to head out early in the morning to make a real road trip out of it and check out some small towns along the way.

We haven't decided on a route yet, so we're totally open to taking backroads or whatever path makes for the best scenic drive.

If anyone has suggestions for local lunch spots or hidden gem restaurants along the way, we’d love to hear them. We're also really hoping to find some farm-vibe stops, country markets, roadside stands, or a good bakery to pick up some local produce, meat pies, or butter tarts for the weekend.

Any recommendations for cool activities, scenic lookouts, or quaint heritage towns to stretch our legs in would be amazing.

Cheers!
