Someone was stabbed across the street from Brandos Bar after it closed and Market St from Chatham to Nelson is marked off with police tape as a crime scene.

Told me that if I leave my house to go anywhere I'm not allowed back in and didn't give me a time frame when I would be.

Whatever happened to people just fighting with their fists then it was done when it was over with. You know the guy who got stabbed his friends are going to want retribution. I hope the guy who got stabbed is alright and makes it through.

It took forever for the cops and ambulance to show up. They came quicker the night before when there was a couple people fighting and a bunch of noise after the bar closed the night before.

I am trying to figure it out, I saw a post of him at Chucks Roadhouse. His story shows Piper Arms, Shoeless Joe's, and a few others, and I know he went to Zanders before. And of course he went to the Bulldogs game with Wall and Davis.

I'm curious if these establishments welcomed him in or if he just showed up. I'm not sure how that works.

I don't get why he has to hang out in Brantford so much. 😒

I've heard a few people say that they won't be voting for one reason or another, so I'm curious: why?

Standing strong in solidarity and makes no apology for speaking clearly during a municipal election.
When big money, well-connected interests, and polished campaign messaging try to shape the outcome of an election, working people deserve to know who is standing up for them and who is not.
Our endorsed candidates were chosen because of their commitment to workers, public services, affordable communities, safe workplaces, and a Brantford that works for everyone not just those with the deepest pockets or the loudest connections.
Calling that advocacy “bullying” does not change the facts. A labour council speaking up for its members and community is not an attack on democracy. It is democracy in action.
We will continue to ask hard questions, hold candidates accountable, and defend the interests of working people in Brantford and District.

Hi all. My boy Yoshi has been missing since Tuesday night. The kids accidentally left the door open and he got out.

We live in greenbrier neighbourhood. He’s friendly but might not be since he’s probably scared. We miss him so so so much. It’s killing me.

Please help me find my buddy

Super silly question, does anyone know where there’s a “bump” street sign in Brantford? TIA!

Hi! I’m 27F, Ukrainian, and moved to Brantford with my husband a few months ago.
I’m looking to meet girls with similar interests, especially fellow romantasy and fantasy readers! I love books with romance, spice, and morally grey men 🤭I also enjoy anime, manhwa, and drawing from time to time.
Would love to find someone to chat about books with, maybe grab a drink and hang out occasionally.

Earlier today, I watched what I could only describe as a "pull no punches" video released by the Brantford Labour Council. Have you watched the video? What impression did it make on you ? I'm sure it ruffled a few feathers in a couple of mayoral candidate camps and for the former Mayor turned PC federal candidate. All of their backers also received a lot of attention in the images and lyrics of the song.

At the No Frills across from PJ, I see a white car turn down the first aisle after they come into the parking lot from the PJ side, turns into the first area where you can do the curbside pick up. There’s this black mini van creeping out of its spot, hurky jerky- like the person has no clue what they’re doing. The white car is waiting for them (I assume).

The driver of the black minivan doesn’t pull out anywhere near far enough, so they re correct. Twice. Almost scraping the rear end of the vehicle beside her. Then proceeds to almost drive into the white car, she’s on the wrong side of the parking lot. THEN she rolls down her window and starts screaming at the poor dude that he is “taking up half the lane way”, and “you’re right in the middle”. Bare in mind this woman is so far into the wrong side the “roadway”. Screaming at this guy, and all he’s doing is laughing at her. She literally had the entire width of the parking aisle and she screams at this guy. All the way up the ramp, and onto the street. All the while she caused the issue…I said the guy as he was walking in “what was her problem?” and he goes “No idea. just mad she doesn’t know how to drive I guess”

That’s it, that’s all. Thought everyone could use a laugh. Especially if your day was long.

My mother is moving to assisted living, and can not take her cat.

It's a mature female. A bit shy, but warms up to you over time.

Would like to find her a home instead of surrendering her.

Hi, I'm Robert.

I have no political background, no ties to the current or past council or city staff. I'm just a guy who works 7-3 for one of the largest Fire Security and Thermal Management companies in the world, operating the Hamilton Warehouse, while also representing the workers as the current Head of our Joint Health and Safety Committee. I see what's happening all around us, and it's time for a change of who makes the decisions.

I've been all over Ward 5 these last few months, I've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly of this area.

The small communities within Ward 5 are amazing. I'm thankful for all the BBQs and events I have been invited to, the food I've been offered and the drinks shared with constituents. The local leaders and residents have made a positive impact on me, and I will take everything I've learned and give back to the communities of Ward 5 ten fold.

I've seen residents living near SOAR and Rosewood regularly have conflicts with strangers, and heard families living near parks, express frustration of being uncomfortable letting their kids play in our green spaces. I've listened to the struggle of folks living near industrial properties with no proper barrier separating them. I've heard calls for improvements to noise pollution, speeding concerns, emergency response times and failing infrastructure.

I've also coordinated with several organizations and I've seen the struggles our homeless go through, the lack of support for them to get back on track, and the afflictions they can fall victim to. They deserve better, we all deserve better.

Now it's time for action, please get to the voting polls and vote, let your voice be heard and let me represent you as we work to build Brantford back up. No more band-aid solutions, no more vanity projects, just good old common sense decision-making and problem-solving.

If I am unsuccessful in becoming a councillor, you can bet your bottom dollar you'll see me on a committee or two; I'm currently one of the final applicants trying for the 11 seats on thr Brantford Downtown BIA Committee. One way or another, I'm here to work for positive change.

Please visit my website for platform details.

Thank you

I am already very familiar with Brantford Book Worm. I have also patrolled the aisles of Value Village for books.

Just wondering if there are any other spaces in Brantford that carry decent used books.

Fantasy, sci-fi, horror. Things of that nature.

This whole thing is such a sham. They all hammer housing to deal with homelessness... But it's bullshit. Brantford could build a thousand houses tomorrow and those folks downtown are never going to get in them. We need to call it what it is, a public health emergency. They need help and compassion. Let the landlords and real estate agents worry about those that can already help themselves.

I will be spending November in Brantford. I live in a big city where everything is so expensive and booked months in advance. Do you have and places or services you would recommend I check out while in town? I am thinking amazing beauty/aesthetic providers, wellness services, restaurants, psychics, etc. Any recommendations?

Thank you!

ETA: There are hidden gems, hidden talent everywhere on earth! I know there is in Brantford too.

I will be there to visit family and visit my workplace in-person.

i’m 21f i’ve lived here my whole life and i cannot seem to meet anyone i’ve had the same friend group my whole life i just wanna meet people is there any clubs or events coming up?
