My dad is in Malton Village LTC in Mississauga. It's a bit far from Milton. I'm sure the home has someone, but don't know if they are good or not.

Does anyone recommend a reputable Optometrist who travels? My dad needs new reading glasses, but he won't be able to leave the LTC home due to his conditions.

My advice to guys who want to be more confident in approaching girls is learning to dance (like Latin, or Line, etc...). You can go to a local community centre and go by yourself. People taking the class are at the same/similar level. I've found that there is WAY more girls than guys wanting to...

I see what you did there! 😀 Yeah! If I tried it....you would hear in the news "Motorcyclist Killed NOT while riding, but by Wife" -LOL Thanks for the advice everyone!

Opening an old thread....has anyone here installed a "Power bank" type battery backup for their house? My wife complains about our noisy portable gas Generac generator as the back-up. (Manual Transfer Switch). Looking for alternative solutions/or quieter generator options.

Hey Guys, need some feedback. Now that my dad is in a LTC home, my mom is by herself. I received a call from my mom today, saying that Amazon called and that she owes $28k. She is hysterical, but I calmed her down and told her it's a scam. Does anyone know what to do to protect our parents...

Yesterday, I went with my 10yr old son, and bought him his first watch (he ended up with an Adidas watch, because he wanted it to be sporty like him). The salesperson behind the counter, was really helpful. As a father, it became emotional for me because I remember when my dad bought me, my...

Hey All, Just an update on the LTC home situation for my dad. We managed to get him into Malton Village LTC home. Its further away from my mom, but really convenient for me to visit often. I have to say, the LTC home seems to be well run. It's bright, doesn't smell, clean, staff seem happy...

My take on EV in Canadian Market for 2035 (not in short term): - Other Provincial Govt will cut incentive as more EV competition enters the market. - Govt will NOT ban ICE vehicles (or they will lose power). However, they will be incentivize people to "Buy New" (i.e.- EVs) by taxing older...

How can you prevent your plates from being stolen?

All this "Living on a RV" talk, brought back memories of a talk I had with a guy 10+ years ago. He was divorced and living in a RV which he parked at the back of an industrial building parking lot. I asked him why, and he responded with,"I have to pay $1,200/kid in child support". He had two...

Thanks! I appreciate the heads up

Hey All, by any chance has anyone got a recommendation of a LTC home is the Scarborough area? Many of the reviews online seem not very positive, but it doesn't necessarily reflect the true overall picture of the facility. Any recommendations would be appreciated, as I'm filling out the...

Hey All, thanks so much for the info. I've contacted LHIN on behalf of my parents, and the will come next week to visit them. I checked out Kipling Acres (looks nice), Westside (seems nice), and Parkdale (more of a retirement home). Hope to check out more this week. All the info was super...

Oh wow! Timely conversation for me. My dad is in his mid 80's and has Parkinson's. My mom is taking care of him, but it's now becoming too much for her. It's heart breaking to see my dad deteriorating (he was able to do 1 arm push ups until he was 79) Yesterday, my parents were able to have...

We used to live on Cronin Dr (427 and Burnhamthorpe area) and the traffic noise at night was terrible. I remember about 10 years ago hearing a couple of sport bikes tearing down the 427 in the middle of the night. Woke us up, and I told my wife, "those motorcycle have the throttle pinned". went...

Toronto e-bike rider fights for access to accident benefits - Toronto | Globalnews.ca If she gets compensated, I think this will open a can of worms

We are currently with Manulife One (Variable now at 7.2%). Has anyone here moved from a variable to a fixed? If so, do you think it's worth switching now, or ride this out?

Speed Cameras = Tax for speeding.

Not sure if it's true, but I heard that the workers who move vehicles from the vessel to the lot make $137k a year, at Annacis Port.
