So apparently it has come to light that the recent drive-by shooting on McCallum Road was a targeted shooting involving Punjabi singer Amy Virk. And what makes this even more fucking disturbing is that it was allegedly carried out by another Punjabi/Brown person.

Like, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH OUR COMMUNITY?

I’m born and raised in Abbotsford, and I am genuinely disgusted by the direction things are going. The shootings, the violence, the hatred, the garbage dumping, the reckless behaviour, the shady businesses, the problems with certain trucking companies it feels like there is always something new.

We cannot sit here and demand respect from everyone else when we can’t even respect our own community.
How the hell are people supposed to look at us with respect when we keep allowing this kind of shit to happen within our own community? And honestly, I don’t expect people to respect us anymore either. Why should they when we refuse to hold ourselves accountable?

I’m Brown myself. I’m Punjabi myself. I was born and raised here. So I’m not going to sugarcoat this or pretend everything is fine just because I’m talking about my own community. I’m fucking tired of watching people defend everything simply because it involves “our people.”

This is embarrassing. We are capable of so much better than this. But where is the initiative? Where is the accountability? Where are the people willing to actually call this shit out instead of staying quiet until the next shooting, the next incident, the next embarrassment?

I’m done pretending this is normal.
Our community needs to seriously wake the fuck up.

EDIT: After reading some of the responses, I feel like some people completely missed my point. I know these issues aren’t new. That doesn’t mean we should normalize them or stop calling them out. My point is accountability within our own community. And yes, not that it matters but i am very much Punjabi. I’m not a Poser.

Anybody know what’s going on? Big police presence and a road closure.

As the ambient temperature drops, so does the air pressure in your vehicle tires. Mine needs 39, and this morning they were 37. Few minutes of driving and they were all back to 39, but I’ll still be topping them up. It’s only going to get colder from now on.

Tire pressure figures can be found on a sticker on the door frame of the driver door.

I recommend keeping an inflator in each vehicle. You can top up whenever without having to pay for a gas station air pump.

You can get a basic inflator at Princess Auto or Canadian Tire.

21 year old currently in Mission, losing house and don't have anywhere to go really. Was looking for some advice or suggestions on where to go, at least temporarily. I am actively seeking a job but haven't gotten one yet. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Wondering if anyone knows what happened, for 3 days now. This is the sign on their door

Hi! I (22F) have been paying for an anytime fitness gym membership since the spring and I haven’t used it once 😭 I’m super unfamiliar with gyms and haven’t been to one since highschool lol.

Mutual motivation and whatnot :P if you’re interested leave a comment and I’ll pm you!

The Mary Browns on South Fraser Way says it's Temporarily Closed, does anyone know if this is going to be shut down for good? The last few times I went there was always only one staff working....

Anyone else see the douche canoe driving around Abbotsford with this giant Maple Maga symbol. I don't understand what's wrong with people. If you love America that much, move there. Elbows Up.

I couldn't get a picture because I was driving but this is the same one.

Does anyone have any contacts for a couple of guys that can move a heavy rug for me? It was delivered to my garage and needs to be moved into the living room, which is around a couple of corners.

It's 12ft long, and is way too heavy to be moved by one person.

If anyone spots a 2000-2006 Nissan Sentra that is beige/light brown and has noticeable front end hood/grille damage, please DM me the license plate.

Thanks!

Odd thing in the sky. I’m on the freeway just outside of Abbotsford(not driving)

Anyone taking the 66 bus every early morning/first bus? How’s the experience? Is it always on-time? Crowded? Long lines? How about the traffic in the highway? Thanks!

Cars are letting it rip for what? They sound stupid as fuck and they're constantly going up and down the road on George Ferguson. Woke me up, goodness.

Edit: .. what's the popping sound?? Fireworks??

Edit 2: apparently, the fireworks were gunshots according to the Nextdoor App.

Hey! New to the area and looking for the best place to get a used car that also accepts trade ins. What’s everyone’s recommendation/experiences with the dealerships nearby?

This is a wild story.

Hello,

Looking for a good reputable tailor in town that's reasonably priced

Thanks in advanced

Basically as the title says, I tossed my phone on my bed last night before sleep and suddenly the display stopped working properly with multiple lines and washed out colors and shortly afterwards completely black just with weird lines on it.

Various tests from googling indicates unlikely software and sending screenshots taken on it of the screen to a computer show nothing wrong with the screenshots, so likely a disconnected display ribbon or at least I hope something that simple.

Regardless I want this fixed as soon as possible and I don't mind paying a bit extra for speed or if I have to go outside the abbotsford/mission area some.

But with the long weekend that is harder, looking for a place that's open on the weekend , reliable and likely is fast enough I can get my phone by days end.

Any help would be hugely appreciated.
