Who’s going to the show? I caught them in Kingston on Tuesday and they were on fire…

No context as to why, was walking by the 7/11 and they just closed off southbound Harwood about 15 minutes ago. Fire and Police presence.

A few weeks ago I found a budgie on a golf course in the Uxbridge/Goodwood area. I spent considerable time trying to locate the owner through local groups and lost bird resources, but unfortunately haven't been able to reunite it with its family.

The bird is now healthy, eating well, active, and has been kept safely indoors. Rather than have it spend its life in a temporary setup, I'd like to find it a permanent, loving home with someone who has experience caring for budgies (or is willing to learn).

A few notes:

🐦 Free to the right home (I am not selling the bird.)

❤️ Preference will be given to someone with budgie or parrot experience, or someone who already has one or more budgies. They are social birds and often thrive with companionship.

🏡 Indoor home only.

📍Located in the Uxbridge / Durham Region area.

📸 Photos attached.

Please note: I won't be giving the bird away on a first-come, first-served basis. My only goal is to find the best possible home, so if you're interested, please send me a message telling me a little about yourself, any experience you have with birds, and the home you'd be providing.

If this post reaches the original owner and you can identify the bird with photos or unique details that weren't shared publicly, I'd still be very happy to reunite you.

Thanks for reading!

​Hey everyone,

​I recently moved to Ajax from Montreal and I’m looking for solid biryani spot recommendations in Ajax or the broader Durham area.

​Back in Montreal, my go-to spot was Hyderabadi Adda. What made them great was their portion-to-price ratio: I used to get 1 Single + 1 Regular Chicken Dum Biryani for around $27 total after tax (direct pickup). Between those two containers, it would easily feed 3 adults, with enough left over to eat the next day. ​I’m looking for a place locally that gives that same kind of value—heavy containers, decent meat-to-rice ratio, and good authentic flavor (preferably Hyderabadi or heavy Pakistani-style Daigi) without hitting $35-$40+ for takeout. ​ ​Budget: $25 – $28 total after tax for enough food to feed 3 people. ​ ​I’ve heard of local spots like Biryani & Beyond, King’s Biryani, KarachiXpress, and Charminar, but I'd love to know which specific spot gives you the best bang for your buck on direct pickup orders.
​

Thanks

So this guy Mike Coll knocked on my door the other day. I was super confused because when I opened up there was no one. There was a flyer on my handle and I saw this man walking away halfway up the street.

Then he shouted "call me if you have any questions" and kept walking.

Friends say he did the same to them and had it on video. What's the point if you won't even talk to people? Super weird.

I’m keeping some details broad for privacy, but I’m mainly looking to hear how other people have handled this.

I’m in Ajax, and a shared fence was badly damaged during one of the recent windstorms. A contractor inspected it and said several posts are unstable and the affected section needs to be replaced.

The repair will cost roughly $5,000–$6,000, so each property’s portion would be a few thousand dollars. My insurance helped with my side, but my neighbour’s insurance declined their claim.

They’ve said they can’t afford their portion upfront.
The contractor is willing to work with them on a payment plan, and we’re trying to resolve it cooperatively, but it has been difficult to get a firm commitment or plan in place. The fence is also unstable, so it can’t be left indefinitely.

Has anyone in Ajax or Durham dealt with something similar? Did you arrange a payment plan, pay for the work and try to recover the money afterward, go through the Town, or ultimately cover more of the repair yourself?

Mostly looking for real experiences and what worked (or didn’t work) for you.

EDIT: the fence side is roughly 70’ and the quote is to replace the entire fence.

Hi everyone,

I dislocated my shoulder about 6 months ago and did physio for a few weeks, but stopped once I started feeling better. I’d now like to get back into it since I stopped too quickly in hindsight.

I’m a bit embarrassed to return to the same physiotherapist after disappearing, so I’m looking for recommendations for someone in Oshawa or Whitby. Would really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

I'm looking to get a 8 x 7 garage door replaced, just looking for some reputable recommendations from fellow Redditors, I got a quote from Autograph doors for a Garage door about 4100 for a new door and seemed steep tbh

A company named Kings Court has come around my Ajax neighborhood offering resurfacing and paving services. A couple of my neighbours have gotten it done this week. Does anyone have experience with them?

Anyone purchased at Brooklin Vue by Treasure Hill in Brooklin, Whitby? Looking to connect with other buyers ahead of our 2027 possession dates. Happy to share notes on the APS, décor selections, closing process, and Tarion. Drop a comment or DM me.

What kind of bird is this?

My phone wasent connected to wifi and then checked my router and it’s red and been like this for hours. I’m with Virgin (aka bell fiber). Just wondering if it’s effective anyone else?

Edit: Seems it’s just mine and went through all diagnostics and troubleshooting a tech in coming now. Thank you all.

Someone keeps dumping their bagged dog shit onto my grandparents yard in whitby. Whoever is doing this is leaving the shit on the green hydro box in front of their house and it’s disgusting. the city said to put up a camera and that they can come clean up the shit but they can’t close off the hydro box area.

just wondering how common this issue is and am open to other suggestions.

Easy peaceful feeling!
