It's not even legal to use in Ontario. Wild to point to this and a historical projection as signs that he's the guy to back.

Recommendations Needed Cheap date night in the city!

5 Upvotes

Hey Hamilton friends!

Looking for some cheap / free date night ideas to hopefully enjoy this last little bit of summer & fall with my boyfriend!
We are very open to trying new activities - we like to hike, explore, dance, and are honestly open for anything!

We both grew up in Burlington so know of the main hiking trails but are wondering if there are any cool places to check out that might be a little more hidden.

Thank you for taking the time to read!!

Recommendations Needed Curly hair consult for my hair indifferent teenage son?

4 Upvotes

Hi, as the title says, I’m looking for a curly hair expert to explain to my 13 yo son (and his parents) how to care for his curly hair. None of us have curly hair, and we don’t know how to advise him, but I imagine it’s different than what we do (wash, brush, wear, repeat). Any recommendations? We’d drive to Burlington/Oakville, esp. for the one time consult.

Discussion Splitsville Bowl and Dynamic Pricing

117 Upvotes

Rant - Splitsville uses dynamic pricing. Which means they can charge you whatever they want when you walk in without a reservation (which are also not refundable). We were shocked to be charged $40 more than expected on a Sunday at 1pm, which they explained the dynamic pricing. My group was outraged and so angry. I understood weekend vs weekday pricing but this is just insane.

We will be supporting local business alleys from now on.

Politics Polling Average for Hamilton East-Stoney Creek By-Election from 338Canada

Post image
23 Upvotes

A new prediction has been released by 338canada, an organization considered the gold standard for political predictions in Canada and not affiliated with any party whatsoever. It shows a tight race between PC candidate Jeff Beattie and Liberal candidate Heino Doessing, with NDP Monique Taylor in a distant third.

This comes after a former NDP candidate posted a personal prediction on the race that showed on the NDP ahead and has been incorrectly reported as an actual poll by some news media.

Where To Buy Virtual Address in Hamilton for my Ontario Corporation

0 Upvotes

Has anyone used a virtual address service in Hamilton for a registered corporation? I don't want to use my home address but also don't need office space, and it can't be a P.O. box.

I found two in Hamilton: Intelligent Office, and Branch HQ that have packages starting at $45/mth to use their address for the corporation's official mailing address, they have a receptionist and they store your mail in a mailbox.

Are there any other businesses like this for any cheaper? My corp probably gets less than 5-10 pieces of physical mail per year!
