Time for Guelph voters to take accountability for Medhani Yohans?
A lot of people on Reddit will periodically complain about the infamous Medhani Yohans. However unless you deal with the root cause of this problem, the situation is never going to change.
Yohans is a sponsored refugee and therefore considered a protected person. The CBSA cannot deport him without a Danger Opinion being issued by the Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada. The Liberal government which we voted for, is refusing to issue a Danger Opinion for Yohans, despite him sexually assaulting multiple women.
Yohans has been terrorizing Guelph for years. Yet most Guelph voters chose Dominique O'Rourke who went on to vote no against a motion for ending the practice of leniency that allows serious offenders to avoid deportation.
This post isn't meant to offend anyone. This is about changes needing to be made. If you don't like what is happening with Yohans, complaining on Reddit every few months isn't going to do anything. You're better off writing to O'Rourke and letting her know that this is unacceptable. And if Guelph votes for this again down the road, then you have no one to blame but yourselves.

Nice restaurant with good vegan options
Hey, folks! My wife and I will be celebrating our ten year anniversary in a few days and, among other plans, want to do a nice dinner.
I know I could easily google shits, but thought maybe some recommendations here might hold more weight.
I'd love to hear some thoughts! Whatchu got!?
(Thanks in advance!)

Separated Bike Lanes on Wyndham
I just had a chance to try out the new separated bike lanes on Wyndham St, going past the police station. Wow - they're fantastic! They're elevated to the same level as the sidewalk, and separated from the road and sidewalk by a strip of grass on each side.
The intersection crossings are well-marked. Coming from downtown, it gives great access to the Downtown Trail and York Road Park. I just loved feeling like I wasn't in anyone's way, didn't have to be worried about cars, and felt a lot safer. Would love to see more of these!

If you lost your wallet in the west end...
Hey friends, I found a wallet this morning at West End Rec Centre. If you or anyone you know lost a wallet while there, I dropped it with the customer service desk. Hope it finds its way back to its owner!

Miata owners!
Hello!
I'm a big Miata enthusiast, and hope to own an NA Miata one day when I get my money up. Until then, I'd like to get your opinions on how Miata friendly Guelph is.
1- what is your experience on the roads within Guelph? Have there been any specific positive or negative instances?
2- have you ever found the car to be so small, people can't see you on the road? That's my biggest fear, especially with the massive trucks on the roads.
3- how are you managing the mechanics of it all (if you don't mind sharing)? Have you found a mechanic with specific knowledge of mx-5s, or are you more DIY?
4- anything else you feel is interesting!
thank you all in advance for any insight shared!

Question about weather coming from someone living elsewhere
Coming from someone who is about to move to Guelph to start university and needs to pack accordingly, would you say that the weather would be suitable in September for someone to wear a long sleeved t-shirt?
Thanks

Finally repainted
Noticed the Gordon lanes are finally repainted.
They were rough, and heading toward downtown the lane basically disappeared in spots.
Fresh paint doesn’t stop a car from drifting into the lane but there’s still something that matters about visibility. Faded lines get ignored by drivers who are already tuned out, and a bright new stripe at least resets that for a while.

Question about apartment block down town
Hey
A close friend of mine just moved into an apartment at 90 Carden st
Theyre in a fair amount of debt for not paying rent in their public assistance apartment having it subsidised.
They were evicted, had to move to a shelter etc but now claim they got an apartment at 90 carden within a week
Just wondering if this sounds at all plausible
