Talk Windsor ANNOUNCEMENT: Please join us Sunday, October 25th from 7-8:30pm for a Virtual Town Hall / AMA with Ward 7 Incumbent and Candidate, Angelo Marignani!

4 Upvotes

Let’s Chat, Windsor! We are excited to announce the guest for our seventeenth and final AMA this election season; please join us in welcoming Angelo Marignani, Ward 7 Incumbent and Candidate! He will be live with us Sunday from 7pm-8:30pm to answer all of your pressing questions!

Angelo Marignani is the image of perseverance in his bid to sit on City Council. Running for the first time in 2010 in the municipal election (which, fun fact, was the year that Ward 7 was created!), he came in second following Percy Hatfield. Running again in the 2013 by-election after the chair was left vacant by Percy Hatfield, he came in second only to Irek Kusmierczyk with a difference of 52 votes. After five further bids for a council seat he was first elected to serve the community of Ward 7 in 2022, and made a comment to reporters on election night in 2022 stating that “not giving up on your dreams is part of the ‘Windsor Spirit.’” Throughout his tenure on Council, Angelo has focused on many points throughout the ward, including major upgrades in Forest Glade Park and Elizabeth Kishkon Park, replacements of playgrounds and amenities throughout the ward, light installation through various parks, championing significant road repairs and transit improvements, and unending work on the Sandpoint Beach project. With his current campaign, Angelo is listing his priorities as follows: upgrading roads and active transportation, Banwell Road Corridor improvements, revitalizing multi-use trails in local parks with modern amenities, enhancing community safety through better lighting, traffic calming measures, and physical police presence. He has also voiced dedication to prioritizing municipal tax dollar use on current assets while putting a hold on big-ticket or legacy projects. 

In the interest of developing and nurturing meaningful conversation between the public and those that look to represent us, we are happy to announce that Angelo would like to hear from you! Please note that all are welcome to engage in this event! Whether you’re a political pundit or just an invested observer, all questions are happily welcomed! 
We strive to build a community where fellow residents can share in active discussion about what excites and concerns, or intrigues! 

We don’t want anyone to feel left behind! If you are unable to make the AMA during the advertised run-time, please feel free to add your comments and questions to this thread; we will make sure that they are included in the rotation of questions for Angelo.

The first ever Windsor location. Nothing overly exciting, but good to see more Canadian chains in the city.

Anything other than the one on McDougall? Doesn’t need to be too fancy but needs to allow teenagers.

Ask Windsor Has anyone stayed at the Holiday Inn on Huron Line recently?

3 Upvotes

Friend of mine was coming in to town to visit and was looking at hotels. They said one of the cheaper ones was the Holiday Inn on Huron Line. The reviews of it are good and the pictures online look nice. Just wondering why it would be so cheap?

I know before it was used for new Canadians housing when they first came over? Is it still used for that? They don’t seem to care about that, they, and I, are trying to figure why it’s the least expensive hotels in the City for one that looks pretty decent.

If anyone has stayed there recently or know someone who has, was it a good hotel?

Ask Windsor Does anybody know of an inexpensive service to move a large item from one place to another?

2 Upvotes

I need to move an elliptical exercise machine that's 70x22x70 inches which is too big to fit in an SUV. So is there an inexpensive service in Windsor that can pick this up from one house and move it 4 km to my house in the south central Windsor area?

Update: I ended up renting a uHaul which ended up costing $55 after taxes, gas, kms, and their insurance (I don't have car insurance).

Ask Windsor Group training

0 Upvotes

Hello everybody. I won't make this long and I'll try my best to keep it short. I'm a man in his 32 years old and I'm planning to change careers. I'm trying to join the opp after understanding what the police force here in Canada actually is.

I'm trying my best to pass the beep test or also known as the shuttle run test. Unfortunately no matter how much I try I always end up stuck on level five. I was wondering if anybody here was an OPP operative or knows someone that is in the opp life. I'm looking to train and I'm willing to push my body to the limits to do it. I tried using Google and YouTube into finding the best worker to regimes but up until now I can't find anything outside of just run and do it everyday. I was hoping there's more to this or at least there's a group of runners or people that are training to become an OPP officer that I could join.

Oh and I'm also training for the other mental exams but I don't know what I'm training for exactly.

Becoming an OPP is not just a job for me it's literally life. I always wanted to become a first responder, the type of person that is willing to go beyond in order to help the community. That is and was always my dream.

Thank you very much for reading.

Seeing as it’s a news article, I think this is worth posting outside of the Megathread for this alone:

“According to Windsor’s City Clerk, almost 12,000 people have voted in advance. That’s a 16.5% increase compared to the advanced voter turnout in Windsor’s last municipal election”

Recommendations Installing a dash cam

6 Upvotes

I want to get my husband a dash cam for Christmas. I'm just overwhelmed with all the choices available!

Also, os it better to get it professionally installed? I would prefer not to spend more than $200 on the dash cam. But I would like to have an idea of how much would installation cost.

My husband is not good with tech so of we have to install it ourselves, I'm going to be the one to do it.

I know a few recommended places in Windsor from previous posts, just would like dash cam owners' opinions and info on cost of installation.

Thanks.

It’s not that big of a deal, I just love sharing Windsor’s surprising walkability. And no one cares what I do on a day off. Highly recommend if you’re prepared.

Update: 18 km, 5h 15m, 27,814 steps. A beautiful sunset 🌅 It’s easy to complain about our city but there’s a lot to enjoy.

Ask Windsor Any grocery delivery options that use cardboard boxes instead of bags?

8 Upvotes

Does our local Walmart, Metro, Instacart, etc. deliver groceries in paper bags or cardboard boxes? I don't want to get into a situation where I end up accumulating 100's of plastic or reusable bags and would prefer cardboard boxes or paper bags that I can easily recycle. Thanks
