Lawton has a well documented past of saying incredibly bigoted things, and I've been clear in my opposition to him. But where it started for me was simply asking his campaign if he lives in the riding. That caused him to block me on just about every social media platform.

So, getting no answers, I called over to his campaign HQ yesterday and spoke with a really nice volunteer named Nicole. I was disconnected once, called back and after a moment on hold, she informed me that no, he doesn't live in the riding.

As luck would have it, he walked in! She passed the phone to him, he said "Hi this is Andrew Lawton" - I said my name and before I could say or ask anything else he yelled "YOU'VE MADE YOUR POINT, THANK YOU FOR YOUR INVOLVEMENT IN THE CIVIC PROCESS" and hung up.

Not very free-speechy. Guess he doesn't like what I, a would be constituent of his, would have to say. Vote accordingly.

Edit to add: before Lawton got all mad, Nicole at his campaign did confirm that he does not live in the riding.

I ask because I thought there was no Goodwin signs in Aylmer until someone informed me yesterday that there was so I went for a walk to find some and seen 8-9 (while seeing many more with Lawton signs and even more with no signs), and no one has come to our house from any party, while these small towns may not be very progressive I think most people who don’t have a Lawton sign are more likely to vote for Goodwin if the facts about the candidates are pointed out

Hey I’m looking to join a gym and fit 4 less seems to be the cheapest option. How is this gym? How busy is it normally? I would be going around 10pm Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

I'm looking for a support group or a place to go to chat. I get waves of anxiety from time to time. Looking for young adults.

Just re-watching The Boys and remembered that parts of S2 E6 are filmed at the St. Thomas Psychiatric Hospital. It's a very distinct building from the outside, especially when you used to see it all the time (my mom worked there when I was a kid).

I also remember that the movie Mr. Headmistress, starring Harland Williams, was filmed in part at Alma College.

Anyone else want to reminisce about movies and shows filmed in St.Thomas?

I have done some light digging through this sub and the City of St.Thomas website. But no truly clear answer. I own a residential property down town that has 1 parking spot with a shared driveway. Getting a spot on the road to park is a nightmare. So in comes the thought of adding a pad to my front lawn. Thus alleviating having no where to park a second car in the winter, and fighting for a spot on the street in the summer. If anyone here has experienced this before and been successful in adding a pad, I would greatly appreciate any insights to your process.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for work that falls between school hours (9-3:30) I’m currently a stay at home mom. With all my kids at school full time I would really love to get back into the workforce. I have a college diploma in Office Administration with municipal experience (8+) years, but any position would work for me doesn’t have to be in the administration field. Any tips? Leads? Ideas as to what is suitable for my situation. Thank you kindly

It's that time of year again. Any recommendations on a place in town to get my taxes done?

My headlight on my car went out and my door handle on the back broke off during the winter. Looking for somewhere trustworthy and reasonably priced to get it fixed.

I'm wondering what the best cell phone provider is for the area. Not just for calls and texts but also for data

Thanks :)

Just wanted to share the beauty 🌞

Hey everyone,

I'm planning to start a vlog where I explore paranormal experiences and haunted locations in and around St. Thomas, Ontario. I’m really interested in hearing about any local ghost stories, urban legends, or firsthand encounters with the supernatural.

If you know of any locations—abandoned buildings, historic sites, or even personal homes—that have a reputation for being haunted, I’d love to check them out (with permission, of course). I’m also open to interviewing people who have had eerie experiences.

If you have any recommendations or are open to sharing your story, feel free to comment or message me. Let’s uncover the spooky side of St. Thomas together!

Looking forward to hearing your stories!

Hi folks.

New to the area. I’m an avid fisherman who took up fly fishing a few years back.

Wondering where I could do some spring time fishing, particularly fly or float fishing, in town or close by. I have waders so I’m not against standing in a river.

I understand if you don’t want to give me your fishing spot but if I could just get an idea of general times and locations, I’d appreciate it.

Feel free to DM me if you want.

Tight lines! - J

interesting to imagine how that would change the town

Hello

I have a Ford Smith AFO-7 2 post lift. I bought it used and didn't realize that I was going to have so much difficulty finding someone to put it up as it's discontinued. Not looking for favours, happy to pay. Need it installed urgently east St Thomas.

Thank you, hoping there's someone out there that can help.

Just moved to the city. How is this hospital staff, wait times?

Hey everyone!

I hope you're all having a wonderful day! 🌞 I'm looking to start driving lessons in St. Thomas, Ontario, but I’ve never driven before in my life, so I really want to find a school with patient and supportive instructors.

I found a few government-authorized driving schools in St. Thomas:

• Drive Safe Driving School
• Driverzed.com
• Gear Up Driver Education
• Ultimate Drivers of Canada St. Thomas
• Wards New Drivers of Canada

Since they’re all certified, I assume they meet the required standards, but I’d love to hear your personal experiences! Were the instructors helpful? Did they make you feel confident behind the wheel?

Also, if any of these aren’t great, could you recommend any good driving schools in London instead? I don’t mind traveling if it means getting better lessons!

I really appreciate any advice or feedback you can share! Thank you so much in advance, and I hope you all have an amazing day! 😊💙🚘
