I've seen recommendations for O'Kane in another closed thread but couldn't post for further details. Can anyone recommend if they are right for this situation? Or recommend someone better.

Talk Windsor Inquiring about plumbing issues near the Jefferson construction area

7 Upvotes

Started having plumbing issues over the last 4 days, our drain in the basement overflows whenever we use water from any source in our house. Called a plumber and they thoroughly snaked the drain plus the main we have out front of our house and it didn't work. Said we might have a cracked pipe but I realized after they left that our issues coincided with the timing of the construction they started on Jefferson. I saw at least 4 plumbing trucks in our area yesterday and more over the last few days, and am hoping some of those people are in the group and could comment on what their issues were and if they're similar. I plan on calling the plumbing company Monday to see if that's a possibility, but just kindof looking for a hail mary here that it's not a cracked pipe 😅😅😅

TYIA!

Talk Windsor Plastic bag recycling

Upvotes

Does anyone know of a grocery store or business that takes in plastic bags for recycling? Just called Zehrs on Lauzon Parkway and the guy said he doesn't think they do it anymore. They did 6 months ago when I went there last.

I am running out of options here, I have 4 bags full of plastic bags that needs recycling.

Getting sick of businesses still giving out plastic bags but having no where to recycle them.

Moving to Windsor Psychologists

Hi!

I'm looking to move to Windsor in the fall. Curious if anyone has some recommendations for good psychologists, preferably who have EMDR proficiency.

Alternatively, if there are psychologists to stay away from I'd also love that knowledge.

Ask Windsor Apprenticeship Question

I have been applying to small business, all the local unions and now went to my city hall in hopes of help finding a way in. I am not sure if it is just Windsor but it feels like if you do not have 3 years experience you won't be looked at. Anyone have any other tips I can look into? I would be making a career switch and will continue on applying as I won't give up until I can find a way in. Thanks in advance!

News/Article Mark McKenzie withdraws federal candidacy; vows to remain Windsor councillor

36 Upvotes

Some in Windsor are now pushing for McKenzie to also quit municipal politics.

As of Thursday morning, nearly 600 people had signed a virtual petition calling for McKenzie to resign from Windsor city council.

Comments on the petition call McKenzie’s comments about the death penalty “inappropriate” and “just plain wrong.”

McKenzie said he will continue to serve on city council.

..

“In a nutshell, there is no ‘recall’ mechanism given to municipalities for removal of a councillor from elected office,” city clerk Steve Vlachodimos said in an email to the Star.

Without specifically addressing McKenzie’s comments, Vlachodimos said the integrity commissioner ultimately determines whether the city’s code of conduct has been violated. If that happens, a report would be presented to city council at a public meeting.

..

The Star reached out to the City of Windsor’s integrity commissioner, Jeffrey Abrams of Toronto-based Principles Integrity, and asked whether a councillor can be penalized for speech, as well as what kind of speech might result in sanctions, and whether a councillor can be penalized for comments made prior to election.

“We are unable to respond to your questions,” Abrams responded in an email.
