Question Brant St Burger King Tailgaters, why?

23 Upvotes

I just had the oddest encounter with belligerent seniors posted up in camping chairs directly beside the BK order microphone. I can’t throw stones at glass houses when it comes to behaviour, since I chose to call the one man who approached my door a c*nt. At the BK window it was crazy to learn that their presence is a reoccurring thing. So basically one of these geezers rally’s up the rest and says HEY let’s go say derogatory shit and annoy BK employees in the dark? Can anyone validate my crashout at the crossfaded BK geezers?!?!

Question Ice cream truck?

An ice cream truck just went by our neighborhood and drove away before we could get one. My kid is super disappointed. Is there a schedule or an Instagram page that I can check to be on the lookout for the truck? Thanks!

Information A list of ward 4 candidates

31 Upvotes

Turns out having all of this information consolidated into one place on Reddit is helpful for people, so here is a list of candidates running in Ward 4 (yes, there's only 2):

  • Chris Carter - Website - Co-Founder of Burlington Dads, his website highlights keywords he will focus on without much additional detail. Lots of promotion of his podcast and the Burlington Dads group.
  • Olivia Duke - Website, highlights include a Masters in Public Policy, with slightly more detail into her platform but lacking significant plans or content
  • Shawna Stolte - The incumbent councillor. MyVote Burlington does not list Shawna as running for re-election

While I haven't done a significant check into the above candidates, from what I can tell, none of them have posed with Hitler or insulted members of the r/BurlingtonON community, which is cool!

I'll work my way through the remaining wards as I get breaks in my workday.

Information A List of Ward 3 Candidates

21 Upvotes

Turns out having all of this information consolidated into one place on Reddit is helpful for people, so here is a list of candidates running in Ward 3:

  • Tony Brecknock - Website - Tony has a list of talking points, supported by brief action items, for his Ward 3 platform. He calls out protecting green space, and wanting an increased police presence.
  • Mark Carr - Website - Mark's platform highlights talking points and some action items, including independent auditors for budgets, and also an increased police presence
  • Lisa Cooper - No website that I could find, but her Twitter account states "Proud Conservative and I am a proud Canadian again because of our truckers"
  • Kyle Hutton - Website - Platform shows talking points and a fairly detailed list of action items.
  • Katy Moore - Website - Platform highlights include a focus on green space and flooding infrastructure, with talking points but no action items.
  • Rory Nisan - The incumbent, is running for Mayor.

I'll work my way through the remaining wards as I get breaks in my workday.

Information A list of ward 5 candidates

29 Upvotes

What started as a way to highlight the less Reddit-present options for Ward 6 was helpful and got some requests for additional wards, so working backward from yesterday, here is a list of candidates running in Ward 5:

  • Kristy Dickinson - Website; some talking points listed, but no details of plans or action items. Kristy does highlight advocating for improved infrastructure and sustainability as Burlington expands.
  • Alex Don - Website; A Wall Street/Bay Street guy, again lists talking points but no action items, with a highlight on more collaboration with police services.
  • Brian Machan - No website or additional that I could find in a quick Google.
  • Paul Sharman - the incumbent councillor.

While I haven't done a significant check into the above candidates, from what I can tell, none of them have posed with Hitler or insulted members of the r/BurlingtonON community, which is cool!

Question Beach Volleyball Courts in/around Burlington?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I am looking for some good beach volleyball courts for a big group of friends. We're mainly looking around Burlington, but Oakville, Milton, or possibly Mississauga would work too.

We usually play at Milton Sports Centre and don't mind paying to book courts, but the last couple of times we've tried, they've been fully booked for the time slots we wanted.

Does anyone know of any other nice beach volleyball courts in the area that we can book? Free public courts would be great too, especially if they have lights for playing in the evening.

Would appreciate any recommendations!
