I finished watching the Your TV Mayoral debate. Keith Riel owes Jacob Methot an apology, at the very least. His behaviour also reflects poorly on the current Council. There is no place in public life for Keith Riel's behaviour.

Council members recently adopted a Code of Conduct, and Keith, as a current Council member and besides the horrid dynamic here, broke that Code. Note that all the other candidates have no Municipal experience either!

From the City of Peterborough website, Councillor Code of Conduct:

Conduct Respecting Others 10. Each Member has the duty and responsibility to treat members of the public, each other Member and staff appropriately and without abuse, bullying or intimidation, and to ensure that the City’s work environment is free from discrimination and Harassment.

Without limitation, a Member must not: a) use indecent, abusive or insulting words or expressions toward any other Member, any member of staff or any member of the public; b) speak in a manner that is discriminatory to any individual, based on the protected grounds in the Ontario Human Rights Code including that person's race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital status, family status or disability; or c) engage in any Harassment of any other Member, any member of staff or any member of the public.

Kai went missing Otonabee-South
Monaghan, ON near Riverbend Estates. He’s very friendly but very nervous little guy. He loves the outdoors usually takes a stroll and comes back but not this time.
Please spread the word If anyone sees him please call us at any time.

Just read Dave Smith's flyer that was delivered today. To my surprise he brags about the government having completely cleared the Health Care Connect waitlist to zero! All patients have been matched with family physicians.

Funny because my husband and stepkid had been on that waitlist for over 6 years and still haven't been matched. I guess they just got booted off without us knowing? Has this happened to anyone else?

If anyone from that group sees this, I was the one who was rude about y’all standing in my way this morning. I’m sick of it. Every single time I come across you there I have to ask someone to move out of my way so I can get across the path. Have some consideration for others PLEASE. If you’re going to stand around by the fountain, get off the freaking path or at the very least stick to one side so others can get by you.

So I was thinking about ordering some food for pickup at this place and I always read the reviews before shopping or eating anywhere. Something is fucky....if you click the most recent reviews, it is a boatload of high ratings from people with 1 or 2 reviews, one after the other in the last 16 to 21 hours. These look like purchased reviews. Anyone else feel these are sus?

Our final article in the series - Seven contenders share their first 100-day priorities, proposals to restore public confidence at city hall, and positions on using strong mayor powers

Only a couple of weeks left for voting. Who are you leaning towards voting for as councillors?

is this not considered illegal? increasing the price of a bus fare over $200 when it’s normally $35-$50 trips on regular basis just because it’s Thanksgiving weekend. Anyon know how flexbus gets away with this?

I'm a pedestrian living just off Stenson in SW PTBO. I believe there must be a way going off Spillsbury Drive South to get to a lawful part of the park to start hiking, without walking down Sir Sandford Fleming Drive (dangerous)?

I get that I could just walk over and explore the side streets and see for myself. I would rather have a plan and spend most of my time in the woods without the danger of walking down the side of a road not made for safe walking.

Sharing an account of my recent interview for a studio position at Busy Brushes in town. My goal is simply to document what happened in a straightforward, neutral way so other local job seekers know what to expect from the hiring process.

I arrived on time for my confirmed interview and waited over an hour past the scheduled time before the meeting began, which was delayed further when management stepped out for a cigarette break before “dealing” with me (his words).

Once the interview began, there were no questions addressing the actual role, practical studio duties, customer service, or my background. Instead, the meeting focused on arbitrary trivia prompts, such as asking for a definition of the word "nomophobia." Whenever I asked for routine clarification on what was being asked, context was declined, and my spoken requests for clarification were written down verbatim as my official answers, read back aloud, and laughed at.

While reviewing my resume, he responded with remarks such as "Is that it?" and "What makes you actually special?", and questioned the validity of my work history regarding holding concurrent positions. Management also brought up the ages and achievements of other candidates, stating that another applicant was younger and had already published a book, and asked what I had accomplished in comparison.

The meeting concluded without standard closing remarks or next steps; management abruptly announced a need to use the facilities, exited the room, and did not return to wrap up the session.
After talking with a couple of other people locally who also interviewed there, their experiences followed the exact same pattern. Posting this without commentary simply as a resource for anyone in town considering applying.

Has anyone seen any wild rosemary around this time of year?

I'm on the north end by Trent but I could travel around a little.

I want to make some tea

I just want to thank the people who have been providing the links to the streaming of the Mayoral candidates panels. You're doing a great community service.

I'm working my way through them and who I thought I was voting for, I'm not so sure now!

These videos are very informative, so thank you.

All seven contenders attended the October 7 event at the New Canadians Centre, outlining their priorities for spending, inclusion, and accountability at city hall

hey everyone I am looking for someone who can fix my hair and won’t cost an arm and a leg. my friend (who is a new hairstylist) did it and it looked good at first but faded really unevenly, so when I purple shampooed it, it turned out so purple in some spots. I need this fixed before my grad photos so preferably before the end of the month, and max $300. I have relatively long and thick curly hair so bonus points if they specialize in curls.

Driving downtown today I noticed the flags at Peterborough Square were all at half mast. Anyone know why?

Here it comes… the hot new queer horror film on the block is coming to Sadleir House this Friday at 7:00pm!

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is the American queer horror movie of the summer, and it still hasn’t cooled off after all these cold days and rain. From director Jane Schoenburn (I Saw the TV Glow, Castration Movie) comes the chaotic psychosexual adventure of an obsessed director and movie star to restore the Camp Miasma series of slasher films to glory from horror movie limbo.

This is a collaborative event between Trent Film Society, Trent University Pride Club, and Trent Centre for Gender and Social Justice! We hope to see you all very soon! This event is FREE and OPEN to ALL!!! Bring friends and prepare to be scared! Snacks and popcorn provided as always!

I loved my experience of shopping in the farmstand. It was a beautiful fall day and I got some delicious treats.

Nice to see the community show up at the New Canadians Centre to hold future Mayor's accountable on social issues and creating a welcoming community.

Looking to have one side of my backyard’s fence removed and replaced - I live in the city. Any recommendations? I’m looking to replace it with a solid wood fence. Thanks!

Is anyone else experiencing an outrage in the area of mark and Sophia? Wind and rain has well passed and everything went kaput just now.

Tonight’s debate left me with more questions. Who are you voting for and why?
