If there was another heading for this, I couldn't find it. We need to get organized. This is the answer I got from MMW.
"Hi Colleen, There is a proposal. There is information on my Instagram."
Thanks.

There is an update there. I don't know how to copy it and bring it into Reddit. They are planning to put it where Mother Tucker's is. Not by Glenwood School Drive.

Who is taking the lead on this? I know there others involved. I want to know what we are doing and how to help.

Thanks!

Burlington’s Denise Tisor, 45, a “well known” ticket reseller, pleaded guilty to defrauding 107 consumers across southern Ontario who unknowingly purchased $265,330 worth of fraudulent tickets to the Taylor Swift Eras Tour shows in Toronto in 2024.

Ms. Tisor told all of the purchasers they would be receiving their tickets via email 48 to 72 hours before the (Nov. 14, 2024) concert, in order to prevent against reselling.

But in the hours leading up to the show, none of the victims had received their tickets.

Tisor stood in court to enter a guilty plea to the charge that she had “by deceit, falsehood or other fraudulent means,” bilked the public of money exceeding $5,000.

Hello everyone. I will be delegating to council on Tuesday July 21st regarding the practices we use to evaluate data centers. My approach will be one of caution. We MUST not fight these proposals tooth and nail through the traditionally litigious practices normally engaged in by city hall. We must create a framework for regulation that allows us as residents to decide which facilities are appropriate. I cannot say if I am pro or con for this particular data center, but it is important to approach this project with an open mind. Presently there is not enough data available regarding the cost/benefits of this facility.

To that end I would love to hear from all of you, and if there are any particular technical concerns that any of you have, I would love to air them in front of council on your behalf. I'm undertaking this action because I have detailed knowledge and resources in the technical sector. I want to make sure that if we do allow similar projects in the future we have the ability, just like residential developments, to voice our concerns and be heard.

We must be careful about what projects we fight, and how hard we resist. Right now, this data center is within current legal frameworks to move ahead without council approval. If we interfere too heavily, we risk bringing provincial or federal intervention down upon us. If this happens there is a possibility it will set a precedent that we will have a harder time fighting when another facility is proposed. A second facility may even have worse characteristics than in this current scenario.

My point is that if we fight to hard we may lose our ability to negotiate for a better project. If we don't fight hard enough, then we risk losing the ability to provide input. In both of those scenarios resident outcome suffers. At the end of the day we should be focusing on this issue through a lens of resident outcome. I personally will not stand for any projects that sacrifice resident well-being. If I believe that harm will come to residents as the result of a project I will speak out and organize to prevent it.

I spoke yesterday with Powell Planning & Associates. This is the company that is responsible for getting all the necessary permits for the new data center here in Burlington. They have put me in touch with the lead architect for the whole project. I will speak to them either today or most likely tomorrow. After that I will have a full video update for all of you on what to expect from this datacenter.

Hi Burlington,

Forgive me for asking this here, but I don't have any pickle experts in my life. 😭

Are there any pickle enthusiasts, connoisseurs, or people who have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of the perfect pickle?

I've only ever tried Bick's pickles. They're okay, but I find them a little sweet. I'm looking for a pickle that's tangy, crunchy, has a satisfying snap. Basically, I want the kind of pickle you can eat straight from the jar at 2 a.m. or proudly put on a sandwich.

What brand do you swear by, and where can I buy it? I'm ready to begin my pickle journey.

Thank you very much

What is up with Tuck Creek.

Seems the construction crew up an abandon the project and the 2 lanes that are open seem to dip/sag once you are actually on the bridge ....

What are they waiting for ???

I’m 27(M) and have been dealing with my father who has been sick for almost 8 months with an unidentified illness. It’s taking a toll on my mental health. I have done therapy which has helped but I was wondering if there are groups that meet and can talk about similar situations.

I don’t have a ton of very close friends to talk to about this stuff, so thinking a group therapy setting may be a good outlet.

Thanks.

Anyone remember them? My friends used to smoke with them at their shows and I can still remember the first time I was introduced to them like it was yesterday.

My friend had their CD and we would listen to it for hours upon hours. I never get tired of it and I remember that my friend was going to give me that CD but before they could they unfortunately took their life and so now that CD is lost somewhere, but I’ve always been trying to find it again, or any of their music again to listen to.

if anyone knows anyone that has the CD or could like, download the songs off of the CD on their computer and somehow email them to me or something like that I don’t know. I just feel like my life will be so boring if I never get to hear drinking 40s in the park again or down zimbabwe again.

or if anyone just wants to share memories of the band or their favourite songs with me from the band, that would be awesome. It’s hard to find people who even know them in my friend group now.

Today, for the first time, I visited Burlington Beach and took a walk through downtown on the way. I couldn’t believe my eyes. The city is beautiful, well-organized, and incredibly clean. I didn’t see a single homeless person or any random garbage. The streets were neat, peaceful, and welcoming.I haven’t visited many cities, but from the ones I know, Burlington feels very different. I was truly amazed by how clean, calm, and well-maintained everything was. It left a great impression on me!

Hi everyone! Not sure if it’s because of the air quality today.. except seeing this turkey on the street, we also saw a young red fox crossing the street as well.
Should I report this issue to somewhere?Hopefully they won’t get hurt (the turkey was trying to cross the road at one point, but a gentleman guided it back to the street again).
Thanks!

Hi all,
Does anyone know of any console repair shops? I have, what appears to be a faulty hdmi connection on my son’s Xbox, series x. I reached out to tech emporium and level 2 repair, but I haven’t heard back from level 2. I’m just trying to get this resolved as quickly as I can before my son breaks lol.

Hi everyone, I’m looking to move to Burlington to rent. Asking for suggestions on which buildings to look at. My budget is between $1800 and $2100 excluding parking. Seems like I can’t get anything lower from my research so far. Ideally close to a Go Station (walking distance or less than 10 min drive) cause I work in Toronto.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

I have a surgery consult with Dr Daniel Hoppe coming up. I have a traumatic left knee injury consisting of a complete ACL tear and a complex medial meniscus injury (displaced bucket-handle tear, horizontal tear, and meniscocapsular separation), along with a posterior oblique ligament sprain, a partial medial gastrocnemius tear, and persistent joint swelling.

Has anyone had this doctor before? Has anyone had a knee surgery done by him? Any advice?

I just received an alert about the air quality today. I thought I would put out this information for those that didn't receive the alert. It's due to burning wildfires.

Is anyone walking their dogs with the air quality right now?

Are short walks okay or no walks at all?

What is everyone else doing?

Anyone had a shed base poured recently? Grabbing the 8x10 lifetime shed and need to get the base done. I keep going back to wanting to do a concrete one but trying not to spend a fortune.

Looking for feedback from anyone who's done one recently, costs, recommendations etc...!

"..... and it was all yellow"

Is there an available central posting of each mayoral and council candidate’s platforms?

For those interested, the city now has an official resource for learning about data centres, and how the city regulates them.
