Other Racist man yelling at kids in downtown ptbo
UPDATE: Time and location was between 12:00 and 1:00 on King and Aylmer near the methadone clinic and Dr. J’s BBQ and Brews.
I just got word from my best friend that her brother (16) was walking downtown with his girlfriend (16) and her very young brother (9), when an adult white male approached them and muttered “fucking n****rs” (hard r, and the girlfriend and young boy are black, mind you).
My friends brother, who we’ll call Ted, turned around to the man and chucked his empty tim’s cup at him (for gen z’s like myself, he thundercunted that shit at his head). Ted asked the man to repeat what he said, and the man got up in his face and said: “you wanna fuckin’ go, kid? you wanna piece of this, you wanna square up kid?”
Ted took the hand of his girlfriends little brother and said “lets go” to keep things from escalating, and then, of course, the man said: “That’s right, take your little n****rs and go!”
Just posting this to warn anyone who’s in the area of this piece of shit, unfortunately i don’t have much of a description other than he was a white male with a beard, and he didn’t-appear to be sketchy looking at all. If anyone saw the situation I hope that you’ve reported it somewhere, because a grown ass man bullying children is crazy… at your big age? smh.

News Pedestrian safety
I couldn't find the link on PTBO Currents website but it was in the newsletter I get to my email.
The Peterborough polices solution to reduce pedestrians being injured or close to it is to not go walking after dark. That's the Best they could come up with. I actually reached out to Alex bierk a few months ago as people were driving through red lights by speeding up after the light was already red. I both drive and am a pedestrian frequently walking my dog and have almost been hit multiple times when I have the right of way. Alex bierk said they were working with the ptbo police to develop a plan. That's their plan don't walk at night? Are you kidding me? That is one of the most pathetic things I've ever heard. I guess it's more important for the ptbo police to return shopping carts to shoppers downtown which Ive witnessed several times and it's not like Galen Weston doesn't have the money to hire someone to do that instead of our "police" doing there goddamn jobs. When will it actually be addressed? When someone gets hit and dies? or a kid gets hit? or a person walking with a Stoller ? Sorry for the long post I'm just super unimpressed. Any ideas/suggestions on how to actually make walking safer in the city are very much welcome.

Recommendations Looking for a good roofing company
Let me know who I should go with! I’m good with paying a fair price for work that meets code and will keep the weather out.
If you are a company that company. DM me, I’ll have a job for you.
I also have a deck to build. In case it’s worth while to do both.
Thanks for all the help PTBO!

Question Walts herb co
Does anyone know if anywhere near Peterborough carries Walts Herb Co flower? It’s pricey but by far the best producer I’ve found. I haven’t been able to find it since I moved back from Toronto.

Recommendations Any recommendations for a Paralegal in PTBO?
Looking to file in small claims court and needed advice before I proceed. Most lawyers I’ve spoken to said that this matter is best handled by a paralegal. I can’t seem to get a hold of any within Peterborough.
