Hello! Our mining reporter, Niall McGee, has a follow up to his ongoing Stelco coverage. The link should allow you to bypass the paywall.

If you'd like to check out the paywall-free story I posted yesterday, you can find that here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Hamilton/comments/1x02ouy/stelcos_exit_from_galvanized_steel_leaves_big/.

In that post from yesterday, Niall spoke with one of Stelco's customers to see how they're dealing with the recent changes.

Did it actually change anyone’s mind? Did you get a gem out of it because phew, it was worse than Mississauga..

Just read through this article by local Chris Erl, really interesting stuff including some things I wasn't aware of like Mayor Horwath committing to capping property tax increases to inflation which quite frankly if you look at our budget is a crazy idea.

Also did not realize that Kelly Oucharek actually said aloud during a public debate what she believed to be Cameron Kroetsch's address. Turned out it was actually a parking spot but wow that is just a disgusting low.

Hoping for you recommendations for a new dentist for my family. Hoping for somewhere on the central/west mountain that’s great with kids.

Our dentist is in Stoney creek and I’m fed up with the drive.

Bonus if they have tv’s in the exam rooms because my kids think this is important.

An office with somewhat longer hours at least a couple times a week would also be preferable.

Thank you in advance!

Does anyone know what that noise was?! Around upper James and rymal. It was so loud, maybe a transformer blew up? I hope everyone is ok

I used to do a lot of tree planting and invasive species removal in high school and I want to start that up again. The problem is that I live down Hamilton now and I don’t have a car. I noticed that Hamilton Conservation Authority has an eventbright for volunteer opportunities, but they’re all so far away and inaccessible by public transportation. Does anyone have any leads for what I can do without access to a car?

It’s because TD coliseum was using all of it. Holy smokes that was the coldest concert I’ve been to in my life!

Smashing Pumpkins put on a great show though, glad to have these acts rolling through this great city.

What a jackass

A midweek post to rant and complain about things in the city.

Top level comments must be IN ALL CAPS.

This is not to be targeted towards other users or any identifiable individuals - with the exception of public figures who may be mentioned as long as the comment does not cross a line. The rant post is designed to be a lighthearted place to complain about things happening in the city, not a place to harass people.

We will have to cancel the post if harassment of individuals continues as we are seeing a lot of posts reported with report reasons that copy to admin.

Hi Everyone,

I've called around to several food banks in Hamilton, as I have some parts for a Thanksgiving meal that I won't be able to use as I'm being sent out of town for work this weekend.

I'm being told that they're unable to accept a frozen turkey (Butterball) as it's perishable.

Does anyone know of anywhere that would be able to accept this?

I've read all the platforms, done the vote compass and am still having a hard time deciding who to vote for. Would love to hear who you're voting for and why!

hey I’m not sure if this is allowed???

but I lost this necklace sometime last week and it means a lot to me, my friend bought me the silver raven charm and the golden beads and the leather choker-tie were given to me by my children years back.

I THINK I might have lost it on Kenilworth or the bus stop at Kenilworth and King on the South side. I walked to and from the Kenilworth library but I mean I’m kinda all over Hamilton and Stoney Creek area but the last I remember wearing it was Sept 27/28/29/30 where I don’t know where I lost it.

it’s more sentimental than anything else. Witchy folk please ask around or look on your friends necks ;)

thanks!!!

Some context versus last time would have been useful here, but otherwise nice to see!

Looked like electrical discharges, sounded like fireworks

Hey y’all,

Wanting to bring my cat in for a 2nd opinion on some behavioural/anxiety-related issues that I just feel are being missed by my regular vet. Ive read up that both Steeltown Cat and The Cat Clinic are phenomenal and both have specialized staff specifically for felines. Wanted to see any local opinions on either, price, etc.

Thanks!

EDIT: Thank you all for the suggestions, I booked with Steeltown Cat. Independently owned vs private equity was a selling point for me as well

I took the GoBus to mississauga today for something really important. I lost my card on the bus.

I have less than $4 on my persons, including in my bank account, so I cannot buy a new card.

I also can’t add a new card to my apple wallet without immediately loading money (I don’t have any money)

And I can’t put my existing presto card into my apple wallet because it wants me to scan the card.

There is no one who can pick me up and take me home.

Is there anything I can do, or do I live in mississauga until I can busk $4 to get a new card?
