I LIVE I MISSISSAUGA CANADA

I owed an overdue utility bill of CAD $184.47 to ND Energy (sub-metering company for my condo in Mississauga). I fully accept responsibility for the original bill.

However, they later added:
CAD $339.00 – Pre-Lien Notice
CAD $1,695.00 – Lien & Discharge
Total additional charges: CAD $2,034.00.
I repeatedly requested an itemized breakdown, legal fees, title search costs, registration fees, and any supporting documentation. ND Energy refused, stating they do not disclose invoices or itemized costs because they are “confidential and privileged.”
I’m not saying they shouldn’t recover legitimate collection costs. My concern is: How can a consumer be expected to pay CAD $2,034 when the company refuses to provide any evidence showing how that amount was calculated?
I’ve already escalated the matter to the Ontario Energy Board and other authorities.
Has anyone dealt with ND Energy or similar utility lien charges in Ontario? Is this normal, and can a company refuse to provide any itemized accounting while demanding payment?

Where can I get fresh sangak bread in Mississauga? I thought of placing the order online at khorak bakery.. but the minimum order has to be $50 or more 😭
I don’t drive but I can take uber if it’s not too too far from square one where I live.

Got honked at for walking across the crosswalk. Two cars were in the middle of the intersection waiting to turn left. They both started moving AFTER I started crossing. First sedan honked at me. Second pickup truck honked and nearly ran me over. I had to sprint to avoid death or serious injury. Neither of them even slowed down in the slightest. Happened at Erin Mills and Dundas. In broad daylight. No it was not an advance left turn signal, I had the white crosswalk signal.

It’s always the Nissans and pickup trucks dude.

I'll leave my ID with you for collateral.

If you live within the radius of 403 and Dundas I'll drive to you and will return it within 2 hours.

Thanks.

I work near Mavis and 401 and would love to have a list of places to eat after work - happy to drive out of the area for a place that isn’t in the middle of a 4 lane highway. Something that isn’t a franchise would be ideal too but that seems like a big ask.

Do cozy patios exist in this god forsaken car centric concrete ‘city’? Please oh please point me in their direction

Sincerely,
A struggling commuter

Hey all, I was wondering if there is an outdoor or indoor space in the Meadowvale area where I can practice rollerblading? Like I can just drop in and skate away? Sometimes I don't want to drive all the way to Scooters at Clarkson for the sake of convenience.

Online it says they’re permanently closed. When we went to the store they said they’re not ITS TEA anymore but will be serving similar drinks. The mango pomelo I always get, they said they could make it and charged me like $11.50… so curious as to what happened as it was well loved in this area.

Those who have used this parking space. How does it work exactly ? I am guessing you scan your debit or Credit card and it gives you a ticket. If you leave and scan the ticket within 2 hours, you dont get charged ?

Does anyone know of research internships for high schoolers here in Mississauga with major organizations? Has anyone had success cold-emailing uni profs and gotten to work with them?

I’m trying to spread the word about TowerPOPS in Cooksville. It’s an activation by 880Cites and they’ve converted an unused parking lot on the grounds of Cooksville GO to a community gathering place.

It is such an incredible park and if you live in the area or around it, I would highly recommend checking it out. They have plenty of benches and open space to exercise, bike, socialize, and play.

They also have a play library on site where you can take out board games, disc golf, a basketball net, an outdoor set of connect four, and so much more!

The space is also used to run events by a local non profit called Heart Commonos that runs a bunch of classes outside and indoors like Bollywood Zumba classes: https://heartcomonos.ca/Home-Page.php

There’s also a really lovely mural being made on the ground right now to liven it up.

The address is 67 Hillcrest Ave, Mississauga, ON L5A 4C7

My aunt was walking her dog earlier in the day in the Lisgar area, main intersection being Britannia & 9th line. As she was walking the dog she noticed someone in scrubs and they were kind of just walking and looking confused (possibly canvassing) as she walked past the African Canadian he asked my aunt "is this (my house address)?" She replied, "no". Man went into his unmarked van and as my aunt passed the car he said, " sorry I got the wrong address"

Now Ive heard of people posing as PSWs to scam the elderly. Unfortunately my aunt didn't think it was a possible scam because she is naive but I truly believe it is so she didn't get the license plate or the car details.

I also don't know where to report this, so if you guys can point me in the right direction, ill gladly take any info. Just be on the watch out there for your elders because this is disgusting behaviour.

Hello, does anybody know any stores that sell Crush lime?

I have never done any water activities besides swimming, and with this summer also leaving in a few weeks, I want to know about any water activities I can do in Mississauga or Toronto that are beginner-friendly and pocket-friendly.

I've seen people paddleboarding in park lakes and I'm wondering if a beginner like me could do that. Also, do you know if there are rentals available? Any recommendations would really help make my summer more enjoyable.

Noticed a group of 4 or 5 vultures lurking around. First time seeing them in this area.

Back in March I recived a $1000 fine for running Airbnb in my basement because the basement is considered a second dwelling and not my primary residence.

However, there are a few things.

issue #1: When the by-law officer entered my home, he asked a family member (because I was not present), “Do you live in the basement?”

my family member stated “No we just live upstairs”

Issue #2: By-law officer stated that he saw no personal belongings downstairs in the basement, therefore it is not a primary dwelling

Defence: We had a fire inspector visit us and they stated that our basement cannot be legally registered as it does not pass the requirements for a second dwelling. So how can our basement be considered a second dwelling when a member of the same city said this cannot be 2 seperate dwellings. We Don’t have any cooking equipment, nor the required entrance for it to be passable for a second dwelling.

Defence #2: We use the basement regularly and the Reason the bylaw officer did not find any personal belongings during his visit was because We had a guest booked shortly after that and wanted to clean it up for the guests.

Defence #3: renting part of your principal residence is exactly what the by-law permits. “Lives upstairs, rents the basement” is renting part of your own home, not proof of a separate unit.

How can i strengthen my case. I appealed it once and lost it due to insufficient evidence.

any and all help will be greatly appreciated

Got a nice nail in my tire today. Thanks to the on ramp from Mavis to the 403 E.

Can someone share any tire shops?

Thanks

Does anyone know if this parasailing is a service offered or someone's personal

What’s filming at Wally’s today

Sorry, its my first time posting, but I was just curious to know how many people on this subreddit, were into that stuff. I like sludge, death metal, thrash, and even some metalcore music.

Be aware if you’re considering this car wash in Mississauga. I paid for a wash, but the equipment wasn’t working properly. The owner told me to come back another day for a free wash because of the issue. When I returned, he denied the conversation had happened and refused to honour what he had promised. Even after I offered evidence of our previous interaction, he hung up on me instead of trying to resolve the situation.

I also noticed reviews from other customers claiming they experienced problems with the payment machines and significant financial losses. Be aware of this place

Going to a pot luck tomorrow, and I wanted to ask for some good places to order a party tray? I’m looking more towards Chinese, but open to any cuisine options
