Appreciation Congratulations to Kingston‘s third female mayor ever

137 Upvotes

I’m so excited to hear that Connie Glenn beat the pants off of Brian Patterson. It fills me with the light to know that the third day cultist conversion therapy loving individual is no longer the top guy in our city. I’m also excited to discover that Connie is our third female mayor. The last time we had a woman in this office was Isabel Turner. Before that it was Helen Cooper and she was all the way back in the 80s.

Also, congratulations to ABBA Morley for beating the pants off of Gregory Ridge. He was a nice guy and he seemed to genuinely care about his constituents. I had a few issues that he helped me out with over the last few years. But honestly, ABBA looks amazing and I’m so excited to see what she brings to the table. Congratulations ladies. You are powerful and strong and I cannot wait to see the direction the city will take under your leadership.

Appreciation Aba's response time

52 Upvotes

I live in the Kings Town district and we elected Aba as our councilor yesterday.

I figured I'd email her to congratulate her and throw in a recommendation/request I had.

She emailed back within 1 minute.

I know that's not something to get used to.. but holy crap.

Hi everyone,

I’m so sad to be making this post, my cat Cosmo has been missing since Friday Oct 23rd. He is an indoor/outdoor cat and does sometimes go on benders for a few days then shows up, however, it is now day 4 and he hasn’t show back up.

Last seen Ambleside Crescent (Bayridge area) Friday night. Male, neutered, and microchipped with all the necessary updated information. He is about 5 years old.

He can be shy around strangers and will hide if he feels unsafe. If anyone’s seen anything, please dm me. I have posted on FB as well, thank you!

Mayor Patterson is out, Mayor Glenn is in. I did not see Greg Ridge losing. What are your thoughts?

Recommendation Needed Need a Pfizer Shot

8 Upvotes

Hello good people of Kingston Reddit,

I am desperately seeking a non-Moderna vaccine for an 87 year old relative who is fragile and cannot tolerate Moderna. We have been to the family doctor. We have been to the public health unit. We have asked her regular pharmacy to order her a Pfizer shot. I have asked a random pharmacist to order one. I have called most pharmacies listed on the government website as being in Kingston and having Covid vaccines. Another family member is trying to find one in Ottawa.

If anyone on here has any leads on where to get a Pfizer (or any non-Moderna) vaccine I cannot tell you how much I would appreciate you sharing the information.

Thank you

Discussion Returning in 2030?

4 Upvotes

If I had to guess, I’d say:

Likely
Vanessa Mensah (as councillor)
Michael Judd (especially if Tozzo runs for mayor)
Zachary Typhair (a new perennial candidate)
Stephen Cuthbertson (council)

Maybe
Jeff Pearce
Daria Juudi-Hope (unless she focuses on NDP)
Chris Logstrup (as councillor)
Tom Gingrich (if Tozzo runs for mayor)
Joel Anthony Bruce (if Osanic retires)
Matt McTaggart (if Boehme runs for mayor)

Probably not:
Grant Bedard
Bryan Paterson
Joseph Abreu
Jeff Scott
Dorian Hartley
Charanjeev Sekhon
Prakash Dayal
Kevin Smith
Roger Dennis
Andrew DaCosta
Rajesh Kumar
John Meligrana
Melissa Reid
Greg Ridge
Chelsea Rae

From 2022, we might also see Jacqui Collier and Skyler McArthur-O’Blenes come back. Maybe Rob Matheson if Hassan runs for Mayor.

Recommendation Needed Looking for a lawyer in Kingston – Urgent vehicle lease contract issue

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for recommendations for a lawyer in Kingston who handles contract disputes or consumer protection issues, specifically involving a vehicle lease agreement.

I've been trying to contact a few lawyers over the past several days, but unfortunately, I haven't had much luck getting a response.

I've also reached out to Cunningham Swan Carty Little multiple times. Each time, I've been told to call, but when I do, I end up leaving a voicemail and never receive a call back.

My situation is somewhat time-sensitive, and I really need legal advice as soon as possible.

Does anyone know a lawyer or law firm in Kingston (or elsewhere in Ontario) who might be available for a consultation on short notice? I'm happy to pay for a consultation.

I'd really appreciate any recommendations or suggestions. Thanks so much!
