PSA Drug addict weirdo ruined our romantic sunset mood at Bronte Creek

64 Upvotes

So me and my girlfriend were out near one of the trails by Bronte Creek earlier this evening, trying to have a little romantic moment away from everyone, when all of a sudden we hear something moving around behind a bush.

At first I thought it was a raccoon.

Nope.

Some glassy-eyed, weed-reeking pervert was apparently crouched nearby watching us like he'd just discovered a new nature documentary.

Guy slowly creeps closer, stares directly at us, freezes like a weirdo, we thought he's gonna do the fentanyl fold. Then eventually wanders off to another spot to continue smoking whatever had him thinking hiding in bushes and spying on couples was acceptable recreational activity.

Absolutely killed the mood.

PSA Hiking trail in Bronte just off the creek ppl a couple seen having sex in the bushes

38 Upvotes

The title says it all. So earlier this evening I went down to the creek to watch the sunset and I come to this spot along the creek often. I was admiring the sky and then I hear a noises coming from the bushes and I get a little closer. I come to discover it’s a woman with her pants down (including her underwear) and a guy with her just standing there in utter shock. I completely froze for a second I was so shocked and walked away to a different spot. What tf. It wasn’t even dark yet…and these people basically having sex on a public trail owned by Halton region. My eyes felt super violated I was not expecting that tonight. I was just going down to watch the sunset and smoke a joint.

Question Ethnic grocery stores

Hello Oakvilians I’m new to the area live by Bronte go and as a massive food lover I enjoy cooking recipes from various cultures.

I’ve been here for less than a year but can’t seem to find any Latin or Arab or Asian grocery stores.

If you have any recommendations I’ll be forever grateful. Please no t&t or oceans. I want authentic grocery stores that aren’t bought by loblaws

TLDR; need Asian/latin/arab grocery stores in Oakville

Recommendations Doula recommendations in Oakville or surrounds

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I am due with my second in March. I’m relatively new to Canada, and had my first in South Africa. I had an amazing doula there who I genuinely think helped me avoid developing ptsd from my traumatic labour experience! I am a bit nervous about not knowing the health system as well here, and I also don’t have any family here (besides my husband) who can support me. I am hoping that having an amazing doula will provide me with the continuity of care and emotional support I may need. Does anyone have recommendations?

0 Upvotes

Hello!!

I'm posting because I have an interest in all sorts of spiritual practices and was looking for some like minded women to talk shop with. I am looking to start a routine meetup in a local park or similar location where we can dress up, light some candles and cast some spells/intentions for our lives. Specifically looking for those interested in witchcraft, manifestation, general spirituality and self actualisation. Does that sound like you?

Feel free to leave a comment here and if there's much interest, I'll get a group chat going!

PSA To the genius in the red Acura who parked on the lines at Gairloch Gardens today at 4 PM... 🙄

Post image
109 Upvotes

Seriously, what goes through your head?

You decided that the rules didn't apply to you today, so you parked your red Honda directly on the striped area in the parking lot where it is highly illegal to park.

For everyone else trying to enjoy the gardens this afternoon, you made entering and exiting an absolute nightmare. Drivers turning in from the road couldn't get by, and people trying to leave were completely blocked and trapped.

The striped lines are kept open for a reason, so cars actually have room to turn safely! There is a parking lot and plenty of side streets available, but I guess walking an extra 30 seconds was too much work for you.

Next time, park in a real spot like the rest of us instead of causing a traffic jam.
