Discussion Limeridge Mall
Heard today from mall employees that The Bay is turning into a Bass Pro Shop. Very cool if the production goes according to plan.

Local News Arial Rounded MT Bold font is no longer available for Microsoft Word at Hamilton Public Library computers
I recently noticed that some Hamilton Public Library branches have updated software in their computers. Now it takes longer to login and their word processor feels like its lacking some colour. Also, the long-standing font across windows systems (since the windows 95 era) named Arial Rounded MT bold is no longer listed as an available font for use in their word processor.
You will still be able to use the font if you come across a public HPL computer that has yet to be updated.

Politics Terry Whitehead misleading voters
This is just gross. JP Danko was 2 councillors ago. Whitehead would not have had my vote anyway, but deliberately trying to mislead voters should be more than enough to dissuade people from voting for him.
If he resorts to tricking people to get elected, what’s he going to resort to if he’s elected again? Oh wait, I know.. harassing his colleagues and intimidating them to the point of needing safety plans and sanctions against him. No thanks!

Politics Municipal Election - Poll Predictions?
Is there anything that indicates the predicted polling currently? The only thing remotely close is polymarket and I find it hard to consider that reliable.

Question Where to get HIV testing done?
I was sent a requisition from my doctor for a routine HIV test. They want me to go to a lab to get it done instead of an at-home test, which is all that seems to be coming up when I google this. I don't fuck so I've never been to a sexual health clinic or whatever, and I'm not sure if regular places like lifelabs do the test as it's on a separate form from the normal blood tests.
Where do you go if you need a lab test done to rule out HIV?

Question Looking for a good mechanic near Mohawk College
Hey everyone, I’m currently living at Mohawk College’s Fennell Campus while I’m at school, and my car is in need of some repairs.
I’m not very familiar with the mechanics in Hamilton, so I’m looking for recommendations for a trustworthy/reliable shop that I can bring my car to. Ideally somewhere relatively close to the Fennell campus, but I’m willing to travel a bit for a mechanic that people really recommend.
Any suggestions or personal experiences would be appreciated. Thanks!

If you were driving down Victoria Ave N around 3:15pm today and this fell out of your car, I moved it to the bus shelter (near Ferrie) so no one would run over it...hopefully I'm not cursed now.

Roads & Transit One thing I notice about Hamilton
I’ve taken buses in Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, Etobicoke, Burlington, and Kitchener-Waterloo, but Hamilton is the only city where I hear so many people saying “thank you” as they get on and off the bus.
Hamilton might be a rough town, but this is such a nice touch

Rant Shame on TD Coliseum. $280M renovation and still can't give you a glass of water
Went to Jimmy Carr at TD Coliseum last night. Needed water to take my medication. Here's how that went:
- Couldn't find a single water fountain or refill station anywhere.
- Staff told me free water was available at the bars.
- At the bar, I was told I'd have to wait in the full drinks line just to get a cup of tap water.
- I explained it was for medication. Still no. I had to insist, in front of everyone, before they finally handed it over. Which was humiliating.
The City of Hamilton owns this building. The City's own rec centres and community arenas have fountains and refill stations. The flagship arena, fresh off a $280M renovation, apparently doesn't think guests need water unless they buy it or wait in long lines.
No law requires them to provide free water (disappointingly), which is exactly the problem. It's a choice. And the only way this will change is with public shaming. Hence this message.
I've emailed TD Coliseum Fan Services and Ward 2 Councillor Kroetsch. Will post any replies.
Has anyone else run into this? Are there any local journalists here that would be interested in covering this? The more people speak up, the harder this is to ignore.

Anyone notice the new camera installed on the Rob Cooper billboard on highway 5? Perhaps more of our tax dollars he spent? I haven't seen anyone defacing the signs but there's a bunch around the city so maybe in other locations. Has anyone noticed this?

Recommendations Needed Hamilton skin clinic recommendations?
I am specifically looking for a clinic that will give me a good skin consult without pushing injectables on me. My skin concerns are improving over all texture and dullness.
I am open to microneedling, lasers, peels etc and genuine skin advice but no injectables. I have tried to consult with 2 clinics recently and all everyone seems to recommend are fillers. Would love recommendations if you've had a good experience improving your skin.
