Has he finally given up on politics? Or did the city ban him from running?

I noticed he wasn't on the ballot for this election.

Apologies if he's stopped running a while ago. I'm a former Sudbury resident and only occasionally keep up with Sudbury politics. This is the first time I've noticed it.

Hey everyone! 🩷 I’m looking to make some genuine female friends in the Sudbury area! Making friends as an adult is hard, so I thought I’d put myself out there and hopefully meet some like-minded people. 🥰
A little about me and my interests! 🎀
🎮 Gaming & geeky stuff: I love gaming, video games, LEGO sets, collectibles, puzzles, and anything nerdy! I’m always down to talk about games, favourite characters, or the things we’re currently obsessed with.
🌙 Anime & magical girls: I love Sailor Moon, magical-girl series, anime, cute aesthetics, and nostalgic fandoms! Bonus points if you love anything kawaii or geeky. 💖
🤼‍♀️ Professional wrestling: I’m a pro wrestling fan and enjoy WWE and AEW! I’d love to meet other women who watch wrestling, have favourite wrestlers, enjoy discussing storylines, or would be interested in watching shows together. Wrestling friends are always welcome! 🖤
🖤 Alternative culture: I’m into alternative aesthetics, emo and pop-punk vibes, rock, nu-metal, and heavier music. I love people who embrace being themselves and aren’t afraid to be a little different.
🔮 Witchy & pagan interests: I’m interested in Wicca, paganism, witchcraft, goddesses, spirituality, lunar energy, crystals, mystical aesthetics, and all things magical. I’d love to meet other witchy people, but you definitely don’t have to share this interest to be friends! 🌙✨
👻 Horror & spooky things: I enjoy horror movies, psychological thrillers, creepy mysteries, supernatural themes, and movies that keep you guessing. I’d absolutely be up for spooky movie nights!
🎨 Creative hobbies: I enjoy colouring, arts and crafts, creative projects, and building LEGO sets. I’d love friends who enjoy crafting together, having a chill night in, or trying new creative hobbies.
🐈 Animals: I’m a huge animal lover and definitely a cat person! I love talking about pets and seeing everyone’s adorable animal pictures. 🐱
🛍️** Thrifting & shopping: I enjoy thrift stores, vintage finds, alternative shops, quirky little stores, collectibles, and finding unique things. Exploring different shops together sounds like a fun day out!
🎤 **Music & concerts: I enjoy live music and would love to have friends to attend concerts, discover new bands, and share favourite songs with.
🎲 Games & fandoms: Board games, tabletop games, puzzles, collectibles, cosplay, conventions, and fandom-related activities all sound like fun ways to spend time together.
📚 Other things I enjoy: Cute cafés, boba, iced drinks, sushi, sweets, exploring the city, checking out local events, browsing markets, and just going out and doing something fun!
💗 The kind of friendship I’m hoping to find:
I’d love to meet women who are kind, genuine, open-minded, accepting, and interested in building actual friendships rather than just exchanging a couple of messages and disappearing. 😂💕
I’m happy to start by chatting online and eventually meet up for boba, shopping, thrifting, concerts, wrestling watch parties, horror movie nights, crafts, gaming, or just hanging out and talking about life.
You don’t have to share every single interest! I love meeting people with different hobbies, and it would be great to have friends who introduce me to new things, too.
Whether you’re nerdy, alternative, witchy, artsy, a wrestling fan, an anime lover, or just looking for someone to hang out with, I’d love to get to know you! 🩷
If we have anything in common, leave a comment or send me a message! I’m hoping to make some real friendships, find my people, and make some good memories. 🥹💕✨

Hi!

I haven't been in Sudbury in years, and I'd like to know which ones are now the best for thriftstores, record stores and a good breakfast place (not looking for greasy food) Also, I need body jewely replaced. I'd like to go somewhere where they have unique pieces.

Thanks so, so much!

Hey there, 26M indian origin recently moved to sudbury looking to make some friends. Please suggest some options to meet new people

Hey! I was hoping to get some experience / information from EV owners in Sudbury, does the winter weather significantly impact your battery life either temporarily or permanently, if so how much!

As well as any other ev owning tips / tricks, what you like what you don't like would be great to hear what it's like owning one in Sudbury, is the tech there yet or does it still maybe need some time in the oven to really work for life in the north?

Been piqued by all the online intrigue…Any places to compete or train for Hyrox in town? Even if the official event isn’t in town per se, if there’s a group of people training together for it, would love to give it a go.

Monday, Oct. 26 is Municipal Election Day in Sudbury!

This megathread is to serve as the space to discuss Sudbury's municipal candidates, election outcomes, and your general thoughts in the wake of this important day.

Both electronic and in-person voting polls close at 8 p.m. on Oct. 26, so be sure to have your voice heard at the ballot box before that time.

• For information on how and where to vote, visit the City's voting information page here.
• For unofficial results after the polls close at 8 p.m., visit the City's results page here.

This megathread will be pinned for the next day or so to allow for post-election results to be captured here.

Please note that for the sake of keeping the sub easier to navigate and keep your feed from being overwhelmed, all other election-related posts will be removed and redirected to this thread for the duration.

Happy voting, Sudbury!

Looking to hire a snow removal service this year - we have never done so in the past. Snow Squad does the two driveways on either side of us, and they seem to do a good job and come early/frequently enough.

I was quoted $1,200 [incl. tax] for a single lane driveway [about 80ft long]. Is this normal pricing for a residential driveway? Do they price base on driveway size/lanes, or is it a flat fee across the board for residential snow clearing?

If there are any other recommendations for services in Sudbury central, I'd love to hear them and your experiences!

What are our opinions on Bob Johnston? So far he seems like one of those right wing denialists who don’t know what he’s talking about. Also he’s too lazy to create his own poster so he uses AI so how can he run a city?

Between Natalie Labbee and Aaron Walsh. She just posted a live she had about 30 min ago. I guess Aaron Walsh and friends attacked her event and things got physical between some supporters. Crazy times. I’m not a fan of either of them but if Aaron wins in Ward 7 , they will have huge problems.

Hello!

I’m considering making the swap to Eastlink mobile. My main concern is the coverage area, their map won’t load on the website (good start lol).

I live in Chelmsford and travel a bunch to Sault Ste. Marie area & Southern Ontario.

So, long story short, how good/bad/ugly is Eastlinks mobile service? I’d be bringing my own device.

Moving to Sudbury soon (south end). Planning to get Eastlink internet and keep Public Mobile for my phone. How's Public Mobile signal in the city? Any dead zones I should know about?
Or should I just bundle internet and mobile with Eastlink? Does anyone know if Eastlink works okay in Toronto? I'd have to travel back often.

Or if you think other carriers will work best for my situation, I’d appreciate any input!

does anyone have any kittens that someone can hang out with? i have a friend with autism who’s special interest is kittens and wanna do something special for their birthday. if you do or know someone please reply with photos!!

I’m an experience dungeon/game master looking to run in person tabletop roleplaying games. I’ve run D&D, Vampire the Masquerade, Star Wars, and many home brewed supernatural campaigns.
Outside of my friend group I’m not familiar with the (any?) roleplaying scene in Sudbury and looking to introduce new people to my particular brand of storytelling.
If you or a group of friends are looking to role play something, or can point me in the right direction of where the players are at, please let me know.

There was no map from the city showing all the 27 voting locations on October 26, only a list (Voting Locations). Decided to make something to show nearest in person voting location. Full disclosure that electronic voting is still active, this is just to help those who want to go in person.

i personally would like if it also ran late enough to get people home from the bar on weekends

Ontario is proposing legislation to speed up the widening of the remaining 68 kilometres Highway 69 by five years.
