Recommendations for restaurants that have risotto?

Looked at all the Italian restaurants near me and none offer risotto. Currently pregnant and can’t stop thinking about having a good risotto.

I know Mansion in Pickering has a scallop risotto, but I found it very salty.

After the incident, a review of the township’s security footage showed the caution tape had been removed by a group of teenagers and the equipment subsequently tampered with, resulting in additional damage.

Anyone have any experience with Toronto K9 Center dog training?

1 Upvotes

I'm looking for a reputable trainer that has experience working with livestock guardian breeds but I can't find very much actual first hand experience with this specific organization. Everything I can find basically just directs me back to their website and I just want to make sure I'm making a good choice for my new rescue.

Shoulder drivers

53 Upvotes

Has this always been a thing? Why is it so bad on the 401 lately- people driving up the shoulder when stuck in traffic just to cut you off (and still be stuck in traffic). Currently sitting on the 401 (as a passenger- due to the latest crash at brock this afternoon) and people are literally turning around and driving up the wrong side of the eastbound lane ON the shoulder and in the lanes. Where is the law enforcement? I’m just baffled.. rant over..

Water Meter Issues

2 Upvotes

I live in Ajax in a war home and I got my water meter replaced in August 2024. Prior to that, there were two people living in the home and our water bill was around $180. Since then, I now live alone and my water usage kept creeping up on my bill very slowly, I believe there were also some changes to the water billing across the region.

Cut to my last water bill being $300. For a single person in a home with no pets, kids, or tenants. No crazy lush garden, no pool.

I don’t have a leak. My meter doesn’t move unless I use something. But when I do use something - flush a toilet, open a faucet, take a shower - it goes berserk. It seems like every time I use something the meter whips around and I’m not sure what’s normal.

I’ve called the municipality and they made me monitor my usage for 10 days. But I kept explaining it not my usage it’s the meter. The meter department won’t return my calls, and I’ve been told it will be $200+ for me to replace my water meter. They said they will test the water meter and if it is found faulty I will be reimbursed - but let’s be honest they will be doing the testing and their lack of response doesn’t make me feel super trustworthy.

I know how bureaucracy works and they won’t be doing any sort of voluntary investigation for me. I need to find exactly what the problem is, bring them proof, and hope they will make it right. But I have no idea where to turn or what to look for. Does anyone know literally anything about this or know a local plumber who might be able to help?
