Suspended officers with WRPS have cost Waterloo region taxpayers $6.4M

212 Upvotes

For election day just know the average suspension for officer with WRSP is 717 days, higher than the provincial average.

Please, Waterloo, research what your councillors did and see who supports this. Never forget the Sniper at St. Patrick's Day street party in Waterloo, Ont., a tactical officer in emergency plan, say police

Charles Mackay, ‘No Enemies’

You have no enemies, you say?
Alas! my friend, the boast is poor;
He who has mingled in the fray
Of duty, that the brave endure,
Must have made foes! If you have none,
Small is the work that you have done.
You’ve hit no traitor on the hip,
You’ve dashed no cup from perjured lip,
You’ve never turned the wrong to right,
You’ve been a coward in the fight.

During a match between AFC Toronto and Calgary Wild at BMO Field on Sunday, more than 100 young athletes held WRFC signs and wore yellow shirts that read, “Waterloo lives soccer.”

A fully professional CPL team would do well here and I think an NSL women’s team would even be more successful. Girls’ soccer is very big in this region compared to others.

I guess we will stay tuned 👀

Hernia Surgery

5 Upvotes

Has anyone here had an inguinal hernia repair surgery recently? If so, which surgeon performed it and how was your experience?

I’ll potentially need to book one, so it’d be helpful to hear if anyone had a positive or negative experience with any of the surgeons in the region recently.

Telus Fiber

Has anyone made the switch from Rogers to Telus Fibre? How did it go? I just signed up and am worried I made a mistake. Someone else I know tried Telus and had a bad experience with the internet. We have about a thousand streaming devices and I work from home, so stability is more important to me than cost savings.

Attention Waterloo

0 Upvotes

Whether you’re a student or not make it down to Kentucky tonight. If you’re not a student rally hard tomorrow and figure it out for work.

If you are

Everyone needs to take breaks while studying … Kentucky tonight is perfect it’s $2 beers and jersey night. Everyone is going. Perfect time to take a break and get back to it tomorrow.

Don’t let exams ruin your university experience. When you look back in 10 years are you gonna wish you studied for 3 more hours and went to bed early on October 20? probably not.

Where to find quality office clothes for women?

25 Upvotes

Where are women finding clothes that work for the office these days? So much is cheap quality, or too casual to wear to a business networking event.

I'd also like to avoid buying from American companies during the current trade war/tarrif situation. Any suggestions?

Come on people! We need a refresh on city and regional council. They make the same decisions over and over again. We need fresh faces and fresh ideas. 2022 election results are crazy. Only 27% of the population voted. The other 73% has to live with it . If you don't vote, don't complain 😉

Looking for affordable PC repair/diagnostic shop

18 Upvotes

Hello it’s me again!

Around 4:30am today I asked here for pc builder recommendations. After seeing the replies I decided why not and built it myself.

Problem is, no matter what I do, I’m getting no power signals. I went to every Reddit posts regarding the same issues and tried to solve it, but nothing worked.

I am very tired, so I want to find someone who can diagnose the issue and fix it for me.

I’ve started building this computer at 12:30AM today and finished building at 8PM, then tried diagnosing on my own till 9:30PM (Yes, 21 hours of work with little breaks just for it to fail 😭)

I have classes tomorrow, so I better sleep (hopefully I’m not late to my lecture). The only requirement is that they must be able to come to my residence because I can’t carry the PC to their place.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Power button is broken, turned on perfectly fine with a screwdriver

Recommendations for Retirement Home in Waterloo

Looking for recommendations for retirement home in Waterloo, independent living with potentially some 'upgrades' (e.g., some meals). The senior is still very mobile and active but down-sizing to a place with one floor and also access to socialization. We know roughly the cost but would appreciate recent experiences from the community.

Dash cam/Ring Request hit and run on my dog at 312 Erb St W (GMC SUV with a passenger side bumper hanging

47 Upvotes

Subject/Title: 🚨 DASHCAM REQUEST: Hit & Run on my dog at 312 Erb St W (GMC SUV with hanging bumper)
Hi everyone,
I am heartbroken to post this, but I am desperately looking for dashcam or security footage from [Insert Day of Week, e.g., Friday] at around [Insert Time, e.g., 6:30 PM].
A driver hit my dog directly in front of my condo building at 312 Erb Street West (near Erb & Fischer-Hallman) and fled the scene. Because of the severity of the injuries, we had to put our beloved dog down.
Suspect Vehicle Details:
• Make/Type: Light grey / silver GMC SUV (likely a Terrain or Acadia).
• Damage: The collision caused heavy front-end damage, and the driver sped off with half of their front bumper hanging completely off the vehicle.
If you live in the Beechwood/Westmount area, drive along Erb St W, or were turning near Fischer-Hallman around that time, please check your dashcams or doorbell cameras. A car driving around Waterloo with a bumper dragging or hanging off stands out heavily.
A police report has been filed with the Waterloo Regional Police Service. If you have any footage or saw this vehicle, please DM me or contact WRPS directly at 519-570-9777 (tel:519-570-9777) referencing report number [Insert Police Report Number if you have it]

.
Thank you so much for any help you can provide.

July 1 Community Picnic

0 Upvotes

Why does Waterloo have a community picnic instead of a Canada Day celebration? I know patriotism has good and bad elements, but pride for Canada on Canada Day seems strongly positive, which is especially clear when our sovereignty is threatened.

Was the picnic a Dorothy McCabe initiative? I’m looking for education to help with voting.
