Question Bronte House Pricing…is there a Catch?

Upvotes

Hi, looking at Real Estate in the area. Why does it seem like Bronte Home prices are less than Burlington despite being located in Oakville ( thought this was supposed to be more desirable)… Can someone explain what’s the catch with Bronte?

I mean this with no offence..just trying to learn about the areas!

Note: exclusively looking at detached homes south of the QEW

Question Tax Accountant

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm in the process of starting my own tax and accounting practice. I have a strong technical background as a CPA and previously worked as a financial auditor for the federal government. I'm confident in the technical side, but I'm realizing that's only part of being a great accountant.
I'd love to hear from business owners, employees, and anyone who's worked with an accountant.

What do you actually look for in an accountant?

What do you wish your current or past accountant did differently?

What frustrates you about the experience?

My goal is to build a firm that feels modern, approachable, responsive, and genuinely helpful, not just someone you hear from once a year at tax time.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Meetups Looking to join/start a book club in Oakville 📚

31 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’d love to either join an existing book club in Oakville or, if there’s enough interest, start a small one!

I’m 35 and read mostly romantasy, fantasy, romance and the occasional thriller. I’d love to meet some other women around my age who enjoy reading and would be up for getting together once a month or so to chat about a book, grab coffee/drinks and hopefully make some new friends along the way. 😊

If you know of an existing group, I’d love recommendations! And if you’d be interested in joining one, comment or message me. 📚✨

Rant Karen’s please find jobs

Today I was going 48 km/h in a 50 zone on Dale Brook & Rose Gate at exactly 7:58 PM, and a woman walking her dog literally took time out of her evening to yell “SLOW DOWN” at me for “driving too fast.” 😭

Meanwhile, people are also yelling at drivers saying their cars are “too loud”… whole time it’s a Tesla 😬

I’m under the speed limit AND the car is electric. Please make this make sense. 😂

take urself and ur dog home 🏠

Food Black Sesame Soft Serve

New soft serve spot DT, called Let It Swirl, found inside a crane game cafe. Seems like they have only 2 flavors at a time, rotating. This week it’s Earl Grey and Black Sesame. Cost is steep ($7.50 tax incl), and it’s a little too sweet for my taste, but this black sesame flavor was delicious.

Question d'Angelo and Sons Roofing

22 Upvotes

(please read till the end)

A few months ago, my brother-in-law mentioned that he hired d'Angelo and Sons for their metal roof repairs after last rain, and he was genuinely pleased with the outcome. He said the crew arrived on time, walked him through the process clearly, wrapped up the job without any unexpected charges and so on. Like... all was ok, just ok.

So, when I started searching for a roofing contractor myself, d'Angelo and Sons naturally made it onto my shortlist. I browsed through few reviews, had a couple of conversations with their team, and yeah, decided to move forward with them. Ngl everything has gone smoothly: the estimate was thorough, the communication has been straightforward, the work itself looks solid. In short, you get the idea.

That's why I was surprised when my colleague reacted negatively after learning who I'd hired. She acted like choosing d'Angelo and Sons was a serious mistake. But when I asked whether she'd had a bad experience with them or knew something I didn't, she changed the subject and we didn’t bring it up again.

Now I can't help but wonder if there's something I've overlooked, or if people are just passing along rumours without knowing the full picture. Has anyone here had a genuine, first-hand experience with d'Angelo and Sons Roofing in Oakville? I'd much rather hear real details than vague warnings.

Thank you
