Hit and run- Morning of Dec 2 2024 Derry and 410

Hey, I was wondering if there were any witnesses to a hit and run that took place this morning involving a tractor trailer (mahindra) backing into a white ford explorer around 5:30am. The driver of the Tractor trailer fled the scene and I was wondering if there was any witnesses or people who saw this mahindra truck today and caught the license plate.

Looking for a wedding dress…

Living in the GTA I have been looking high and low for the stress. I saw it and tried it on at another store. The price tag was around $5000!

I obviously don’t want this one as I want something similar because this is just out of my budget! I want a big ball gown, long train, sparkle in skirt, with cascading lace going down and beading, basque waist line - and honestly I’m okay with whatever else. I just don’t want Messy tulle, more tacked down and put together even a heavier material like organza and tulle just not looking for that whimsical look, more romantic I guess?

Essence of Australia, Morilee and Justin Alexander do not have what I’m looking for….im hoping to try it on so any store in the GTA I’ll travel too. I’m so upset because I didn’t realize the style was expensive, but I have seen some ballgowns that were between 3 to 4000, which I’m okay with, as long as I LOVE IT…..any suggestions would be sooooo helpful as I need to find something soon and order so it’s here on time.

Any ideas what this could be?

Saw this around the eglinton/ridgeway area. Saw about 3 along this stretch of road. Any ideas on what this could be? My guess is some sort of tool to survey traffic flows.

Roadside checkpoints in Mississauga?

Where are they usually? Just on/near highway exits? Reason I'm asking is my mom had a bit of an incident after taking an exit on the 403 last year.

I don't want to get into too much detail about my moms mental health but basically dealing with police exacerbates her anxiety and she has a bit of a panic attack at one of these checkpoints last year on her way to work. Hoping to avoid one of these. Is it best to have her drive on Eglinton or Burnhamthrope to make her east/west commute (she works night shifts).

Has anyone adopted through the Peel Animal Rescue Society (PARS)?

What was your experience like? I know they’re non-profit and volunteer-run. I’ve been trying to adopt a cat from a Pet Valu branch and I was told to send an application to PARS, which I did — I sent them an email a week ago with my application, and I also dropped it off at the Pet Valu store. I have gotten no acknowledgment so far. I’m just curious if, in your experience, this is normal? I really want to adopt the cat and every day that passes and she’s in a cage at the store makes me sad—she deserves a home. Just wondering if I should try to follow up or if this is just their way of rejecting me, or they’re just very busy and need a few more weeks to get back. Thank you in advance!

Gardeners ....Do I wrap young azaleas planted in a garden bed?

I see conflicting information online but I suppose zones and climates matter. So I figured I'd ask the locals.

My plants are maybe 60 cm across and maybe 45 cm high. ( 2' x 18")

Anywhere to get Salmon for home made sushi that's safe?

Hey everyone, I wanted to experiment with home made sushi, but recently learning that 'sushi grade' means literally nothing and the idea that flash frozen fish when thawed to package can have bacteria (or something like that) I'm more concerned with where to source salmon that I can eat safely raw. Is there any reputable location in Mississauga to buy safe fillets for eating raw?

Typical road rage on QEW EB 3pm Hurontario today , looking for dash cam or witnesses

Will add TLDR at bottom - description is there too.

I know this is like finding a needle in a haystack but it doesn’t hurt to ask

Looking for dash cam , posting for awareness , maybe you had an interaction with this individual today. Chances are very high something similar happened in the past

I was driving eastbound on the QEW today through Mississauga around 3:15pm. All of this happened between Hurontario towards Sherway gardens (Evans Ave exit) and the split (Gardiner toward Toronto) to Kipling Ave.

A sedan 4 door was driving aggressive and erratic not just towards me , but other drivers , so I’m hoping I have some luck finding information or witnesses. Maybe he had been on the QEW longer than me and doing the same thing to others. (Description at the end)

I was in the “ fast lane “ but moving with traffic because I was heading to Toronto. Everyone was doing max 70-80km. There’s a lot of construction, people merging from off ramps etc. Point being , I would not dilly dally in the fastest lane for no reason. If coast was clear I’m doing 130km

The Corolla was tailing me the entire time. Flicking his lights . Laying on the horn. There were cars ahead of me , in all 3 lanes, not sure where he thought he was going? He continued to switch quickly between myself and the driver in the middle, to far right lane and back to me (none of us were going anywhere. It was packed and slow )

In hindsight, I should have just let him get ONE car ahead of me , but 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m a confident driver, so I would rather put up with this ( not the ending ) than someone who’s new , a young driver etc.

When we finally started picking up speed (east of Cawthra, near Dixie Rd but way before Evans) he switched to the middle, tailed a SUV, went to cut me off, no clearance. Both of our cars would have been ruined. He went to go and hesitated.

Again, hindsight , I should have just slowed down to let him get the one car ahead like he wanted so badly.

He continued to move behind me carrying on with horn and lights. ( we are starting to pick up speed at this point )

(The Dixie Rd exit) As we approach Evans / SherwayGardens / Gardiner , the lanes widen from 3 to maybe 6 lanes

He shifts right, three lanes of cars while I’m still in the far left ( remember. I said we’re in the clear now. And everyone’s doing over 100 km or faster )

I thought he was off to the races. I couldn’t see him. Nope.

He decides to endanger 3 lanes worth of cars , cuts people off, accelerating past all of them, to come back in front of me and go from 100km or more to 0. Full stop .

All the alarms in my car went off anticipating a crash. hit my brakes so hard (fresh winter tires on this morning took a good beating and probably major fucked the pads) I smelt rubber immediately, heard screeching. Either from me or car(s) behind.

I didn’t hit him. Nobody hit me. The screeching…. I really hope nobody got hit or hurt behind me.

By the time I collected myself , he had already hit probably over 160km and was long gone past Kipling & Islington on the Gardiner.

I’m okay. I really really hope nobody got hurt behind me. Not ever. Not now. Not before the holidays.

I bring this up because something similar happened a few years back and when I called the police they were useless. I put the description because if he acted that way today , he’s likely done it before. He’ll do it again. He probably did something else stupid today.

If you were around today between 3pm - 3:30pm. Headed east on the QEW, continuing toward Toronto Gardiner, you have dash cam , anything. I appreciate it.

Description: 4 door Toyota Corolla Gold Early 2000s model

White male, bald , late 40s , early 50s, high vis jacket on
