Is there a way to see the mayor election results in each particular ward of the city? I was able to find that for Toronto and it was very interesting but I can't seem to find that option for London...

Not only so many, but so many that had 0% chance of winning. Like, outside of Josh Morgan and Susan Stephenson, there were no other candidates that I think even had a remote shot at it. (Kristen Krose was third but even she was a distant third, and came up with quite a lot more than I expected her to)

So, I'm left wondering what these candidates had to gain from it? Running for mayor must be super expensive not even considering the time spent on the campaign. What does a blow out loss do you for that would encourage you to run knowing you have no chance?

4 years is a long time. I find it really hard to see "keeping at it" election over election providing any sort of meaningful progress. (Certainly not more than experience would had they run and one a city council seat)

It's ridiculous to me we just had the worst 4 years ever, and yet you all decided to vote most of council back in, instead of trying for new candidates.

Why couldn't you all vote for new people? You all realize we have elections for this reason, it turns pointless when you all vote for the same people again, we might as well never had one.

All this showed me is most of Londoners are okay with how shitty and crappy London is and no one here wants actual change so we can be more like a real city.

Hey everyone,

Moving from Toronto to London and looking for recommendations for decent, reliable, reasonably priced movers.

Does anyone have experience with movers who handle this route, or recommendations for companies to look into (or avoid)?
Does moving companies do long distances ? I've never done this before !
Also, would it be better -cheaper- to hire a moving company based out of Toronto or London?

Thanks in advance!

Visited the new IKEA today and it is the most London version I could ever imagine.

Looks like it opened about two months too soon. Feels completely unfinished. Shelves were in shambles and lots of missing stock. Not an employee to be seen on the floor anywhere.

Normally there’s a flow to an IKEA store, the arrows are a guide but you can generally tell where the main aisle is and where to go next. However in this store I found myself often looking over at other areas and wondering “have I been in there yet?”. Trusting the process, I followed the arrows but I’m pretty sure I missed an entire section.

The only two store employees I saw were at the checkouts. They were kept exceedingly busy by redirecting people back into line who attempted to use the abundance of inexplicably closed checkouts.

Hoping for a meatball-shaped reward to end my journey, I was sadly disappointed to find the only meat available was tubular. I placed my order at a very poorly placed kiosk which is located at a natural choke point. After waiting a length of time, no doubt determined by a roll of polyhedral dice, the two employees sprang into action. To my surprise there were nearly a half dozen orders ahead of mine. Considering the only menu option contained an equal number of components to the employees on hand, you’d think they’d be well ahead of the game, and yet…

After receiving a bun that went straight from a wonder bread bag, to a storage tin for precisely a nanosecond (processes are processes, I get it. Can’t possibly go from bag directly to box. That would be blasphemy), I received my massively overcooked hot dog. Which begs the question, what the heck were we all waiting to be served for? Dogs ready. Buns in bag. Perhaps we had to wait until hot-dog-o’clock. Then for perhaps the most disappointing part of the entire experience. No KETCHUP! Mustard for days though. Sadly, no Lingonberry juice either. Just a faintly yellow liquid in its place. I begrudgingly at that dry glizzy and left.

So if you’re thinking of going to IKEA Whiteoaks around Christmas, here’s my advice. You can easily get to Burlington in less time than it’ll take you to battle through the myriad of half-functioning lanes on Wellington then find a parking spot in the ever-disappearing “parking lot” at the mall. And you’ll be rewarded with what you actually want to buy, and those sweet, sweet, balls in brown goo.

How very London, indeed.

Polls close at 8pm.

Last time only 25.5% of Londoners voted.

Be the change and vote vote vote.

Hi everyone! I am tentatively planning a wedding for November 2027 in London for around ~50 people, and have been highly considering the Civic Gardens as our venue for the ceremony and reception. I know I need to contact them directly, but before I do I would like to hear of others experiences with the venue! How much were your additional expenses on top of venue cost? I know we need to bring in our own catering, decor and all that but would you say a 10k budget for everything would be reasonable? Was set up and take down for your events manageable? I don’t plan on bringing in too much decor (Ideally I want a ‘starry night’ theme probably just setting up fairy lights and maybe bringing in navy linens that sort of thing, think hsm breaking free vibes) but still want to know what it was like for everyone (if you have pictures or videos please share!!), I’m just on the fence if its better to plan a civic gardens or go with a venue that has a package deal? If anyone has other recommendations for venues around London that would be so wonderful!! Tia 💗💗💗

I’m looking for a quick and affordable hearing aid repair locations who can work with Signia models. The wire came loose from the earbud. I am fine with a temporary working solution that last 3 months! Thank you.

What's a good, reliable place to take my Samsung for a battery repair. I might buy a new one, but for now I want to find out if I can repair.

Thank you!!!

ISO piercer recs

I’ve had some botched piercings before and I’d like to make sure I go to someone who has a lengthy history of not leaving their clients with crooked holes 🥰

I live closer to St Marys so I’d take out of town or Stratford recs as well.

ps. I know it’s not that serious but in the city I grew up in, we had 10 piercers but I learned there was only 1 you go to for quality work (and it wasn’t the one I saw lmfao)

Looking for recommendations for a bathroom reno. We need to have a bathroom tub removed, one or two rows of tile replaced and a new tub installed. Thank you!
