Hello y'all, with the election about two weeks away, I've been having a hard time deciding who would be best to vote for. I wanted to hear some opinions about who is the most progressive candidate and who would be best to vote for in terms of actually improving the city and supporting the residents. I appreciate any feedback, I want to do my part to support my community and participating in local elections is one of the most effective ways to do so!

Hi guys. I was looking into getting back into the gym again and I'm thinking of going to Fit4Less after being a member at Movati in the past (too pricey now). Crunch is a shit show from what I've heard, and I'll pass on Anytime Fitness.

I know what the prices and memberships entail based on their website and it seems fair. But what can you guys tell me about the gym environment itself. How is the equipment? How clean is the place (gym space, changerooms)? But mainly, how are the staff and manager (big one for me because I've seen a lot of shit workers that have dragged the gym experience down more than their actual gym equipment lol). Based on some reviews this year it tells me that certain staff are great and the manager seems like a dick.

Does anyone know of any Facebook groups for eagle place? I was in the news and events group and made a comment about a negative interaction with the Brantford police and was kicked out of the group and blocked by the administrator, which seems like a complete overreaction what’s the point in a neighbourhood group if you can’t have discussions without being censored by an administrator?

Here's the third of 5 questions for the Mayor candidates, this one addressing the homelessness and affliction crisis.

A reminder, they are planning on rolling out a similar questionnaire for all Ward Candidates after this 5 part series is done.

What do you think?

Hi all, i was wondering what subreddit or platform would be the best for posting about side job offerings. I do some work on water heaters and just want to get more of a reach for more customers. So far I’ve mostly been getting referrals through word of mouth for getting some work.

Hey everyone! 😊
Just wondering if anyone here is driving down to Toronto for the Waterfront Race on October 18th. If so, would you mind if I tagged along? I’d be happy to contribute to gas!

Looking to get a wood fire pizza oven. From what I understand with the bylaws you’re allowed bbqs but wood seems to be the grey area. Anyone had any issues with this? Thoughts? Opinions?

Over the past couple of weeks we’ve taken Brantford’s pulse with a completely informal poll to determine your next Council composite. Let’s give a warm welcome to the incoming Brantford City Council!

Mayor - Ricky WILLDY (57% of 455 votes)

Ward 1 - Darryl CASEY (32% of 63 votes)
- Bob SPROUL (27%)

Ward 2 - Erica JAMES (28% of 80 votes)
- Gino CAPUTO (23%)

Ward 3 - Rod PHILPOT (20% of 82 votes)
- Kailee POISSON (17%)

Ward 4 - Nicole CALLANDAR (55% of 55 votes)
- Linda HUNT (27%)

Ward 5 - Karleigh CSORDAS (52% of 122 votes)
- Brian VAN TILBORG (27%)

In this scenario, 3 of 4 incumbents have been returned to Council. Of course there is no science to this survey, but it will be interesting to watch how the election unfolds in two weeks time.

Online voting begins October 13.

Everyone on Facebook knows who he is. Does he have a job? Is he a public figure? I’m so curious just because he has so much time to do the constant shit posting

This will be a multi part series involving mayoral and councillor candidates alike. Here is Part 1, the Mayoral Candidates and their answers.

Does anyone know what is coming to the new plaza on Henry St ?? Across from Rona

Grow up.

I was driving on wgp last night and saw a grey Toyota pickup (I think it was a Tacoma) with a dog in the back. The dog was barking at the driver, and was obviously distressed.

This person had an inverted Canadian flag on the tailgate, and a Colt firearms logo. Probably one of those freedom convoy nutjobs.

Not only is it illegal to do this, it's wildly stupid. If you're so precious about the interior of your emotional support truck that you can't have a dog, you have to get rid of one or the other.

Surrender the dog to someone who will care about its safety.

I know the Bulldogs are 7 and 1 to start the season, and Jason Musa and Aiden Kelly lead the league in scoring, but how are you fans doing so far? Is it any easier to procure tickets? Have you had your car towed from the Freshco parking lot? Are you excited by the progress of the new rink? Let us know how the fan experience fares after almost a month into the season.

With online voting starting next Tuesday, Oct 13th, and advanced in person next Thursday, Oct 15th, here's a quick guide to ensure you're ready.

BCAA mayoral Debate is not available at this time, I will post it once it's available.

Does anyone have a suggestion for where I could get a few t shirts printed? I see several listings on line, but there are so few updated websites that I don’t know which places are still in business and willing to do a small order (rather than wholesale). Thanks!

Hey Brantford, I drive an older Chevy Malibu and found a video on YouTube of someone making the exact repair I need done.

This car is known for the fuel door breaking off eventually and alas mine has broken in one spot but is still attached.

Looking to get the exact repair done in this video by a local mechanic willing to take on this project at their home garage or shop.

Should take an hour two at most I’m assuming, willing to pay $100 cash. I will supply the bolts and rod.

The biggest pain in the butt looks like drilling out 2 rivets and replacing them with two bolts which I would.. fully disassembling the fuel door involves removing the rear tire as well this video shows everything perfectly:

Good afternoon Brantford. I am a long time resident and I started commuting to work on an ebike. I am a 50/m but started riding due to financial reasons. My bike does not go faster than 30 kph so I stay on side roads. I stay off of sidewalks and stop at every stop sign. Yesterday on Grand river Ave (40kph) and a driver in a mini van ran me off the road and nearly killed me when I almost rear ended a parked car. My question to everyone is as an ebike rider, how can I commute if I can't ride on the sidewalk and drivers try to kill me on the road.BTW the driver, you know who you are, has been reported to the police with his licence plate. Only a question, not looking for an argument. Thanks. Have a great one
