Bill is now leaving bad reviews for local businesses...you know, because he's such a huge supporter of business in general.

For anyone who has actually been to one of these places, time to start flooding them with positive reviews!

​Hey everyone,

​I wanted to jump on here and extend a massive thank you to all the amazing people on Reddit who supported and voted for me, Andrew Stokley, for Sarnia City Council!

​Thank you so much for all of your tireless support throughout this entire campaign. Seeing your encouragement and engagement kept me motivated to keep pushing forward every single day. It truly helped me bring a strong voice to the table for all of Sarnia.

What are your thoughts on this mix of new and returning voices for the upcoming term?

A few minutes before the polls close and the count starts. What are you manifesting tonight? Your three wishes from the election genie?

1. No current or former real estate agents.
   
2. Nobody involved with Derek Davis’ extension.
   
3. SLACK endorsements (including Clara who only got a pity FB post) get shut out and the pinheads behind it become the community pariahs they deserve to be.

Is there anywhere is Sarnia/area that makes a good banoffee pie?

Are you voting online / have you voted online? In person? Not voting at all?

My second week working here, and I swear the price of gas everywhere has not changed.
In Toronto the price changes like 10 times a day.

I know it's a buzzword that the right love throwing around about anything and everyone who doesn't agree with their opinions...but imagine endorsing someone solely because "they aren't work" lol. Like what does that even mean.

I just started fishing this year, about 2 months ago, and have been out 4–5 times but haven’t caught a single thing yet. 😂

So far, I’ve tried hot dogs, bacon, jerky, and lures.

I’ve tried fishing at Sarnia Bay, Shell, the WM place in Blackwell, and under the bridge at Government Dock, but no luck anywhere!

Any tips for a beginner? I’m open to suggestions on bait, spots, or anything else that might help!

I could try worms, but I don’t go often enough to feel like buying them every time is worth it.

Thanks in advance!

Will be visiting next weekend and looking for a good steakhouse. Not overly expensive but worth the price paid.

Hello!
This is my first pregnancy and have my first ultrasound scheduled for later this month at 9 weeks. Wondering if the technician would show us the screen and if we get to hear the heartbeat etc while getting the scan done. Also, would we get an image of the scan to take home with us at the end of the appointment?
TIA!

With Trump coming to Port Huron tomorrow, we're looking to escape the circus and spend the day with our neighbors across the bridge.

We'll be bringing our own two tiny dictators (both under 5) and are looking for recommendations on parks, playgrounds, and good local restaurants.

Bonus points for places where the kids can burn off energy and we can maintain what's left of our sanity.

Thanks, Sarnia!
