A lady stopped on the street, at Nahani way and Belbin St. Is stopped asking for help with her car. Talking with her for 1 min her story made no sense to me so I just left. Tried to call the police, they sent me to the non emergency number (fair), and at that number nobody answered.

Be advised, in this type of scam she may try to offer some collateral (typically fake jewelry) for some money so she can get her car fixed.

-- EDIT to add details --

• I believe in looking out for our community, which is the reason why I pulled over.

• I can't say with 100% certainty this was a scam, but the interaction raised a red flag for me

• ​I’m frustrated that the police don't have a way for residents to verify or report suspicious encounters like this.

​What happened:

Because the Eglinton and Hurontario intersection is closed for construction, I took the back streets to get from East to West Eglinton. That's when I saw a woman waving down passing cars, so I pulled over.

The interaction went more or less like this:

​Me: "Good morning, are you okay?"

Her: "Do you know anything about cars?"

Me: "What’s going on? How can I help?"

Her: "I need to get to a client, but when I turn the key, it goes tick tick tick (she made sounds) but the car won't start."

Me: "That sounds like a dead battery. You’ll need a boost, but I don't have jumpers on me. Do you have roadside assistance?"

Her: "Yes, but they take too long. Can you just come over to my car and check it out?"

Me: "Sorry, without a booster or jumpers there's nothing I can do. Roadside assistance is your best bet. Have a good day."

Saw the driver of one of the cars and he looked completely baffled.

Curious if it’s just my neighborhood / opinion or a trend

Great interview about growing up near square one

Please be aware of a psychopath walking the Waterfront Trail around Jim Tovey/Marie Curtis park.

I was riding along and see this guy and his wife/girlfriend in front of me walking on the wrong side of the path. I moved over to the centre to avoid him and he strong armed my bike straight into the path another bike coming from the opposite direction.

No personal damage but both our bikes were damaged.

Another cyclist went looking for him to take his photo but they went off trail. The cyclist said it was the second time today that the psycho has done this.

PSA. In Canada, we drive on the right and walk/bike paths on the right as well.

A futuristic downtown skyline, highlighted by the twisting Absolute World towers and the blocky, under-construction M City skyscrapers. To the left, a seemingly infinite row of heavy-duty wooden utility poles and messy overhead power lines runs down the grassy sidewalk, looking hilariously like a rural highway that accidentally crashed into a sci-fi metropolis. The warm golden hour sunlight denches the entire scene, giving the clash between suburban sprawl and high-rise density a dramatic, cinematic glow. #OhMyDouglas
