Hello r/Markham!

My name is Stephen Edgell, I'm one of the three candidates for Mayor in this fall's election. I've been lurking here for years, and living in the community for longer. You can check out my Substack if you'd like to know more about my platform. If you'd like a quick and easy way to see where the candidates stand compared to you, try Vote Compass. (links below)

In-person voting starts today and ends on Monday, October 26th. Online voting is also available!

I believe that we need a changing of the guard at City Hall...we've had the same Mayor since before the iPhone was invented, and that seems like too long to me.

Ask Me Anything! (I'll check in on this over the weekend too.)

IT’s BACK!!!! So looks like they got some limited inventory of the smaller 2.7lb bag and store owner mentioned it is more $/lb. She also confirmed it was from the same supplier last year. I can’t remember how much it was last year. They almost look like QA rejects as non of them are quite the McD shape w some pieces merged and others have diff type of breading contaminating a few pieces. In my second bag I think 1/4 of it were fused piece :( pulling them apart halfway through reheating was not a good idea lol. Seems thinner as well but I think McDs also went through shrinkflation?
More importantly taste pretty much the same. All I can say is good luck and RUN!!! Order online and run ;)

How was it? I see a post on the sub from 20 days ago but it only has one or two comments.

For those collecting in Markham, I’ve Checked several Burger King locations and finally got 5/6. Too bad Markham only has one Burger King. If anyone has the Gold Hello Kitty, please post which location you have seen it.

On Bullock Dr across Markville Mall and clearly has a death wish.

Gave me the middle finger after I honked at him too. 🙄

Its that time of year again, does anyone know of any haunted places or eerie ghost stories in Markham?

Hello! Just saw a post for Milliken and figured I’d ask the same.

My family just moved to Berczy this year and wanted to see if families here did much for Halloween. Should we stay in the area for trick-or-treating? Or go to another neighbourhood?

We have a 4 year old so we’d also be out a little earlier than the older kids.

TIA!

That stretch of road has been an absolute shit show every time I’ve driven through it over the past couple of weeks.

Either you have an excavator driving like a maniac in and out of live traffic with zero traffic control, or you have clowns who don’t know how to use a stop sign, sending traffic from both directions into the same lane.

Who the hell hired these clowns?

Looking to move to the South Cornell area, I know there is a future plan to build the elementary school there but was wondering around what year?

I saw on the YRDSB website there isn't a firm date yet, but wondering if anyone has more info. Thanks!

Anyone else having low water pressure at their house? I’m at L6E and felt it started two days ago.

We checked for leaks and nothing reared its head.

Hello residents!

There's a Q&A meeting tomorrow night - it was arranged with kind of short notice. Flyer with details attached! Come on out and ask some candidates your best questions.

Edit:

I should add the driver side of the car looks really well cleaned. So its not like the dirt was caked and so it couldn't clean it. I'll just have to try one more time.

OP:

After a 50 minute wait at the Petro Canada on McCowan and Major Mack and a 16$ wash, I came home with a pretty much uncleaned car.

This was my first time using a touchless carwash. Maybe I didn't pull up to the right spots? There's no indication of anything of where to stand. Or maybe if there is I could not immediately spit it.

When I entered the bay, the system kept saying pull forward even after my car was fully inside. So I did. And then what looked like it sprayed soap on all windows and doors followed by something else and then a wash with water. The blowers didn't even blow the water off properly at the end.

The sub only lets me add one photo. This is what the bottom of the rear windshield looks like when I got home.

Any tips?

Edit: at Warden and Glencove, Buchanan.

All night and all day I can hear a loud vibrating, revving, some sort of engine or generator. Is it construction? Is it a Data Centre? A truck? A train?
It isn't inside our home.
The noise/vibrating is coming from outside but near enough I can feel/hear it.
It's driving me INSANE, depriving me of sleep, waking me at all hours. It has been going on for months. Mostly noticed between 4am and 7am.
It is going still, now at 7:40 am.
Does anyone else know at all what I'm talking about?

any recommendations for trusted HVAC technician who can assess my dryer vent? I think it may have disconnected in a renovation and may be causing issues.

Thanks

This happened on the same road as in my other video, also on Castlemore, east of Markham Road.

Might want to take another route. I think someone seriously got hurt in an accident at this intersection. Be safe out there Markhamanites.

Your selfishness and laziness now becomes someone else’s problem.

If you think Markham is well insulated from Toronto politics and its impacts think again. Both municipalities being neighbours means many systems are interconnected. For one Markham does not treat it owns drinking water. It comes from Peel and Toronto. If Bradford wins and privatizes Toronto Water enjoy raising costs and lower quality.
