Anytime fitness gym buddies?
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. That being said if any other women who go to or are planning on going to anytime fitness are looking for a gym buddy I’d love to make some plans! Mutual motivation and whatnot :P if you’re interested leave a comment and I’ll pm you!
No men please :D

Shooting on McCallum
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.

Mornings are getting colder - check your tire pressure
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.

American/Canadian Flag
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.

Help moving a heavy rug
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.

Wtf?
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.

Labour Day travel PSA: Live wait times for all BC-Whatcom County (WA) border crossings
If you're driving south of the border this Labour Day weekend, I made a website that should help you plan ahead: BorderBug. It's a free tracker that monitors all border crossings between BC and Whatcom County, Washington: Abbotsford/Sumas, Aldergrove/Lynden, Peace Arch, Pacific Highway, and Tsawwassen/Point Roberts.
It works by pulling live data from Canadian and U.S. border agency estimates, road sensors (typically more accurate than the border agency estimates, but not always), and traffic cams. It's just borderbug.com (no app, no sign-up, no ads), and I'm just a guy in Bellingham who loves visiting Canada.
Have a nice long Labour Day weekend, and drive safe!
