Updated predictions as of April 2026. There aren’t many changes in my predictions.

Mayor - Bryan Paterson

Countryside - Gary Oosterhof or open

Loyalist-Cataraqui - open

Collins-Bayridge - Lisa Osanic or open

Lakeside - Wendy Stephen

Portsmouth - Don Amos

Trillium - Jimmy Hassan

Kingscourt-Rideau - Brandon Tozzo

Meadowbrook-Strathcona - Jeff McLaren

Williamsville - Annette Burfoot

Sydenham - open, likely David Gordon

King’s Town - Greg Ridge

Pittsburgh - Ryan Boehme or open

Only Hassan and Tozzo have formally announced an intention to run, but I am hearing that the other reelections projected here are almost certain to run. In January, I was unsure about Oosterhof, Osanic, and Boehme running again. I now expect 2/3 to run.

Sincerely,

the Lady Whistledown of Kingston city council

Got a crazy craving

Does anyone know what is going on at Centennial Drive near the trail just past the fuel stations? Major police presence with large guns out in the open. Just drove by.

I am having the hardest time finding work wear in this city. I wfh most of the time but I like to keep a few outfits for when I have to trek into the office. My office is really relaxed in terms of clothing, but I would rather not go in with my athleisure wear as much as I’d love to.

I’ve been to old navy, h&m, Suzy shier and rw&co and I’ve found their stuff to be just mediocre or too dressy. Marshall’s and Winners stuff is much too juvenile or matronly (why is everything cropped??). For reference, I used to shop at places like Dynamite, Aritzia, and Uniqlo but I would rather have a physical store to try stuff on.

I just want some appropriate dressier, comfortable pants and a few nice tops that I can depend on without feeling constricted. Any suggestions?

Ive lived in Kingston for close to a year now. One of my favorite hobbies has been checking out different cafes on the weekends. Overall I feel Kingston Coffee House, De Mello, and Elm Cafe have the best coffee, but Crave is also in the conversation cause of their cinnamon rolls and baked goods (their coffee is great too.) Which cafe does everyone feel does the best coffee?

Never get a tattoo from this man again (if he even gets out of fucking jail!).

Last week BRAD ROGERS (Dont Tell Mamas) nearly beat his wife TO DEATH. She's had multiple major bowel surgeries and is still hospitalized after being repeatedly kicked and then thrown down stairs.

YUP, YOU READ THAT RIGHT.

I’m looking for a new gym downtown as GoodLife is moving to the west end and I don’t have a car. The only places other than artillery park are classes/personal training which I’m not interested in as I don’t have a super flexible schedule and like going to the gym when I can. Artillery is closer to me and I was wondering how people like it? I don’t need a huge gym or anything just a place to lift weights and run on the treadmill.

Hey all - does anyone have any recommendations on a good house cleaning service? We are in the Greenwood Park area and looking at getting someone to come in twice monthly. Any idea what 2-3 hours a time would cost? Any feedback would be much appreciated

hello r/KingstonOntario

looking for some information on committing to Kingston from south of Westport. moving this summer and will be working on military base. what’s the drive like down hwy 10?

Im not sure whats going on but has anyone else noticed all the homeless just STOPPED on the road? It Happened a few times to me today , but the most notable was when I was out by the metro on gardeners , and one of the homeless people was standing in the middle of the turning lane coming outside of the metro parking lot and timmies

I ended up having to calling the police because people kept driving past him and he was swaying.
