1. I hate my neighbors and their cats
Original title:My nasty neighbour and their cats
Post summary:My neighbors have a lot of disgusting cats. My front and back yards smell like cat urine, and my entire basement - bedroom, storage, bathroom - smells like cat urine. I keep cleaning everything, but they can't go anywhere. It does seep through our shared wall. The landlord is aware and has been trying to do something, and health department and animal control have been out, but this has been going on for years. Does anyone have any advice on: who else can I contact

My neighbour has a disgusting amount of cats. My front yard and back yard smell like cat pee, my entire basement - bedrooms, storage, bathroom stink like cat piss. I’m constantly cleaning everything and it’s not going anywhere. It literally seeps through our connecting wall. Landlord is well aware and have been trying

- You might have better luck asking and searching r/CleaningTips or r/laundry for cleaning. At this point, an ozone machine might be your best bet, I think, until the cats are completely gone, you might be stuck constantly dealing with it :( If the animals are in the adjacent unit, then it might be seeping into the walls and floors, and the place would need to be gutted to completely eliminate the odor. Not sure who to call, but what has worked for me in the past is keeping a
EN: you might have more luck asking and searching r/CleaningTips or r/laundry for cleaning. At this point an ozone machine might be your best bet I think until the cats are fully gone you may be stuck continually dealing wit - Oh, thank you so much. Super annoying to deal with. Like you don't need 10 to 15 cats in a small townhouse
EN: Ahh thanks so much. It’s super annoying to deal with. Like you don’t need 10-15 cats in a tiny town house - Using an enzyme cleaner can eliminate the odor. Canadian Tire definitely sells them
EN: Use an enzyme cleaner to make the smell go away. Canadian Tire for sure sells them - Enzyme cleaners are great for cleaning cat urine. I recommend getting an air purifier to remove odors. Air fresheners, incense, candles, etc. help mask the smell and make it more bearable. But honestly, if possible, you should consider moving out. This isn't really a solvable problem unless the neighbors are evicted, and even if that happens, the landlord would have to completely gut the unit because the floors and walls will smell like pee forever.

2. Where to buy really good condiments?
Original title:Where can I buy really good relish?
Featured comments:
- Maybe more niche grocery stores like Maltese or Nuccis
EN: Maybe the more niche grocery stores like Maltese or Nuccis - Cheese Encounter or Bay Meats might have some, but I'd call ahead to confirm before going
EN: The Cheese Encounter or Bay Meats might have some but I’d call and check before going - I'd check out the farmers market, and maybe that cute new store "Mums Pantry" at 100 Simpson. It has lovely homemade items.
EN: I'd check The Farmer's Market and maybe that sweet new store "Mums Pantry" at 100 Simpson. It carries lovely homemade goods. - The DeBruin stall at the market is definitely worth a mention, and I think there's also a pickle lady who sells some. The goods and co-op quality seasons might be worth checking out too.
EN: The Debruins stand at the market definitely has relish, and I think there’s a pickle lady that sells some as well. Superior Seasons in goods and co might be worth a look as well.
3. Dawson Road Safeway cuts alcohol stock due to theft, beer sales now end at 9 PM
Original title:Dawson Road Safeway cutting back alcohol stock due to theft, beer sales now end at 9pm
Post summary:Stopped by the Safeway on Dawson Road and was surprised to see the liquor section looking so empty. I asked the cashier what happened, and she said they've been dealing with "too many thefts of people just walking out of the store." So they're apparently reducing the alcohol stock on the shelves and starting to stop beer sales at 9 PM. Has anyone else noticed this happening at other stores in town, or is Dawson Road hit particularly hard?

- Due to high theft rates, the Walmart on Memorial stopped selling beer a long time ago. I'm surprised many stores still sell it and don't lock it up. Even LCBO gets robbed often. We'll eventually go back to the days of ordering at the counter, paying, then picking up your alcohol. Like they do at beer stores.

We’re going to end up returning to the days - Didn't LCBO try to card people before going in? For some reason, everyone freaked out?
EN: Didn't the lcbo try to card people before going in and everyone freaked tf out, for some reason? - Yes, they planned to try it at a few select stores. These stores were chosen because they had the highest theft rates. Coincidence/non-coincidence, they also have more Indigenous people. So naturally, they portrayed it as targeting Indigenous people and made LCBO look like a bunch of racists. I really don't understand why this is a problem, everyone should know you need ID to buy alcohol. 99% of thieves don't have ID, this would prevent

- Do you want to share a 2-bedroom with your friend, or are you and your friend looking for a 2-bedroom each? This reads a bit unclear.
EN: You want to share a bedroom with your friend in a two bedroom, or you and your friend are looking for a 2 bedroom for one room each? This doesn't read clearly. - I think it's clear. They want to rent a room together.
EN: I think it's pretty clear. They want to rent one room together. - Very clear, including budget and pet accommodation. No doubt clearer than the TBay Drama page on FB.
EN: Pretty clear, with budget and pet accomodation included. Much clearer than TBay Drama page on FB without a doubt. - Yeah, I don't want to be rude, but it's pretty clear

5. Considering when fire restrictions will be lifted?
Original title:Thoughts on when the fire restrictions will be relaxed?
Post summary:There's definitely someone with MNR knowledge lurking here. Based on the department's map over the past while, the fire risk has been low to moderate. How long will the fire ban last? Wouldn't mind a small fire in the summer.

Must be someone with MNR knowledge lurking in here. Fire risk has been low to moderate according to ministry maps for the last little while. How long will the fire bans stay in place? Wouldn’t mind little summer fire.

Original title:Meeting 50+ People?
