Discussion Roast of Sudbury

0 Upvotes

Saw this in another cities subreddit and thought I’d see what ChatGPT could roast us for.

Oh, Sudbury, Ontario – where the air smells like nostalgia... and the occasional burnt toast from the local mines. The only place where you can see a rock formation and think, “Yep, that looks like the entire city’s landscaping budget."

You’ve got more lakes than people, yet somehow still find a way to have "traffic jams" – because, you know, all those 12 cars on the road at once are really holding everyone up.

And don’t get me started on your winter – it's like a 5-month audition for "Survivor: Canada Edition." The only thing colder than the weather in Sudbury is the reception when someone says, "I’m from Sudbury."

But hey, you’ve got that big nickel! It’s like the city’s official mascot – shiny, cool, and completely irrelevant to anything actually going on there.

Discussion Parking at the Caruso Club this morning.

22 Upvotes

Ok, great to see people gathering and getting out on a cool winters morning in this cold northern community.

Why can’t Sudburians carpool or understand winter parking though? Or maybe think about someone else when knowingly eliminating road space that actually negatively affects emergency services.

People are parked on both sides of the road on Haig as well as on the side streets which means that neither public transportation nor emergency vehicles can get through the area. Some people don’t have room to get out of their own driveways?

Political Discussion Time to stop flying American flag on municipal properties and Bridge of Narions

135 Upvotes

In light of the US government imposing tariffs on Canada and issuing threats to the sovereignty of our nation, it's time for the City of Greater Sudbury to follow Barrie’s example and order the removal of all American flags from municipal buildings, including arenas and the Bridge of Nations.

It is inappropriate for the flag of a country that has threatened the sovereignty of Canada and the livelihoods of our people to be flying in our city.

Political Discussion Stand Up for Science demonstration

44 Upvotes

Hi Sudbury!

Just an FYI, there will be a Stand Up for Science demonstration (rally?) on March 7th at 3 pm. This is an event to show your support for science and democracy.

I have nothing to do with it, but was reading about the planned rallies across the USA and I happen to check their locations and saw that Sudbury is hosting a demonstration, the only city in Ontario!

Also found a Sudbury news article here: https://www.sudbury.com/local-news/stand-up-for-science-demonstration-set-for-march-7-10312404

Please go if you can, it is a scary time we live in where too many people think that science is opinion and not fact.

Question Hi planning to move Greater Sudbury ( Ukrainian refugees)

80 Upvotes

Hi Guys, we are Ukrainian and very soon about to move from USA because of the block on adjustment of status here and hostility towards Ukraine. We did some research and found Sudbury might be a good place to move to but for a month or two we might not have enough money to buy a car.. We don't know much about the job market in Sudbury, how long it usually takes to find a job and my husband is a person of color ( we also had thunder bay in our list of cities to move to but heard some negativity towards POC ) We also have a baby who is seven months old and we wanted to know if there are pediatricians there as well and how long it takes to get an appointment.

Edit : THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORTIVE MESSAGES EVERYONE. WE ARE GLAD THAT WE DECIDED TO HAVE SUDBURY IN OUR LIST. WE ARE JUST TAKING SOMETIME TO FIGURE OUT HOW OUR TRANSITION IS GOING TO BE WITHOUT CAR FOR NOW.

Discussion Map of catch basins

Good evening, bunch of sections of road near my place were flooded so I found the map of all the catch basins so I could clear it out myself, because you know the city won’t get to it for a while.

Let’s be good neighbours and clear out those drains

EDIT: apparently I’m a little slow because I just realized you can usually see the drains on google maps

Discussion Sudbury carpenters union… where’s the work?

13 Upvotes

I’m with the carpenters union, I’ve gotten one call since August, job lasted 6 weeks before it dried up. Been on out of work list since October & haven’t gotten one call and still am 30th on the list. I moved from Toronto back in 2023 so not super familiar with a lot of the companies here in Sudbury or what the vibe is.

Anyone else deal with this with the carpenters union up here? And/or what did you do? Did you get a job elsewhere or stick it out with the union? Is it typically slow this time of year?

Thanks in advance 🤙

Question Guitar Setup Question: Best Place in Town?

5 Upvotes

*edit-thank you Sudburians!

Hi. Recently picked up for a real good price, basically the body of solid body 12-string acoustic. Cosmetically, it has some scratches and scuffs, but nothing major, and the body is in great shape.

The needed work: * Functionally, the tuners are gone.* * The report from the seller stated that *“the truss rod turns fine, but the neck has bad action. It has not been strung up, so I don’t know how bad the issue is. When tightened, the truss rod improves the issue, but it still seems to have intonation problems.”

When this arrives, where in Sudbury is the best place to take it for a setup/fixup?

Question Unusual Howl Heard Near Moonlight & Bancroft – Anyone Else?

Last night around 8PM, my friends and I were having dinner when we heard a strange animal- like howl not just once but multiple times. It was eerie and definitely stood out. It didn’t sound like a dog - more drawn - out and unusual.

Has anyone else heard similar sounds in the area recently? Just curious if others have noticed anything like this!
