“In a way, rent strikes are very similar to labour strikes,” says Ricardo Tranjan, a political economist with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and the author of 2023’s The Tenant Class.

Basically, Tranjan says, individual tenants have very little power to negotiate with their landlords on issues like rent increases and maintenance — just as individual workers have little power to negotiate their wages. Landlords own the homes in which tenants reside, much like employers own a business, and have access to financial assets that tenants generally do not. 

“The difference is that tenants do not have collective bargaining rights,” he says. Tenants do have the right to form associations, but those associations aren’t recognized as formal representatives of the tenants in legal proceedings. A landlord doesn’t have to sit down with a tenant union or association and bargain collectively. Rent strikes are a way of trying to gain the landlord’s attention and force that outcome, Tranjan says. (They’re also nothing new.)

Windshield Chip Repair: Tips and Advice

A small chip or crack in your windshield might seem like a minor issue, but ignoring it can lead to bigger problems. As the windshield flexes and encounters temperature changes, that tiny chip can quickly turn into an unsightly crack, obstructing your view and compromising the structural integrity of the glass. The good news is that with the right approach, many windshield chips and small cracks can be effectively repaired, saving you the hassle and expense of a full windshield replacement.

In this blog post, we'll share some valuable tips and advice to help you tackle those pesky windshield chips successfully.

Tip #1: Act Quickly

Time is of the essence when it comes to windshield chip repair. The sooner you address the issue, the better your chances of a successful fix. Aim to repair the chip within 2-3 days to prevent further spreading.

Tip #2: Invest in a Quality Repair Kit

While DIY methods are floating around the internet, your best bet is to purchase a windshield repair kit specifically designed for this purpose. These kits contain a specialized resin that can bond and seal the glass, along with the necessary tools for proper application.

Tip #3: Prepare the Surface

Proper preparation is key to a successful repair. Thoroughly clean the area around the chip or crack, removing any dirt, debris, or moisture that could interfere with the bonding process.

Tip #4: Follow the Instructions to the Letter

Each windshield repair kit comes with detailed instructions. Read them carefully and follow every step precisely. Skipping steps or rushing through the process can compromise the repair's effectiveness.

Tip #5: Apply Consistent Pressure

Most repair kits include a tool or pedestal that applies pressure to the chip while the resin cures. Consistent pressure is crucial for the resin to bond properly with the glass.

Tip #6: Allow Ample Curing Time

Patience is a virtue when it comes to windshield chip repair. The resin needs time to fully cure and bond with the glass, typically 6-12 hours. Resist the temptation to rush the process, as this can lead to a subpar repair.

Tip #7: Know When to Seek Professional Help

While many chips and small cracks can be repaired at home, there are instances when it's best to leave it to the professionals. If the damage is larger than a quarter or a dollar bill, or if it extends to the edge of the windshield, it's advisable to have it professionally repaired or replaced.

Tip #8: Consider Safety First

If the chip or crack falls within the driver's critical viewing area, even a successful repair may not be sufficient. In such cases, replacing the entire windshield for optimal safety is generally recommended.

By following these tips and taking the time to repair windshield chips properly, you can extend the life of your windshield, save money, and ensure a safe driving experience. Remember, a little preventative maintenance can go a long way in avoiding larger, more costly repairs down the line.

🕵️ PART 1,

Canada is a very interesting place, as it was mentioned twice in the rumors recap by Deuxmoi for the latest podcast episode they dedicated to couples: From 7:41 to 7:57: “this person says, my friend's aunt and him have been regularly hooking up where I live in CANADA. This has definitely been happening for a while. That was back in 2020.” – “this is from July, 2022. Do I submit here? Anyway, Machine Gun Kelly went home with a girl, not Megan, obviously, at a Forest Hill party in TORONTO last night. Here's another one from a couple of years ago.”

I can’t see bbrumm’s posts either, but as the detective of my friend group, I took the liberty of googling her IG username and found a few things. Turns out, she’s interacted with two Instagram accounts, both based in Toronto, Canada. From her profile pic, she looks White Hispanic, kinda like the people I’ve seen in the public interactions I found. There’s a good chance she’s either lived or still lives in the Greater Toronto Area, just like they do.

Before you post this, ROXY, please make sure to screen record and save the receipt with the right zooms, in case they take the two posts down or decide to go private as well.

bbrumm interacted in the comment section under a post of @/perfectaffair_ (Events decor & balloons by Brenda), captioned: “God bless ANTONIO #/communion #/godbless #/backdroprental #/backdrop #/toronto #/vaughan #/woodbridge #/ontario #/torontoballoons #/vaughanballoons #/eventplanner #/weddingplanner #/gta #/vaughanevents #/torontoevents #/canada #/familybusiness #/latinaowned #/balloons #/eve”. The event planner organized the communion after-party for a child named Antonio, but there’s no info on whether it’s actually bbrumm's son or just a relative she paid for.

bbrumm was also tagged by @/alyssa_dasilva (𝐀𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐬𝐚 𝐃𝐚 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐚) in a vacation picture with the location listed as Punta Cana, República Dominicana. For a full pic of bbrumm, just swipe to the 4th picture in the post, which @/alyssa_dasilva captioned as “bikini recap 👙”. The person Alyssa tagged as bbrumm has tattoos that perfectly match bbrumm's profile picture. Curiously, in the full shot, you can see how bbrumm and Megan share very similar hand tattoos. This girl also has the same evil eye tattoo as Megan—just on a different finger—and at least one "sparkle" design sitting below one of her nail cuticles. Megan Fox debuted a similar tattoo style exactly a year after the “Toronto Forest Hill party” rumor, in July 2023. Maybe one took inspiration from the other, or they’re just two people who happen to follow the same tattoo trend.

bbrumm went to @/teezed_hairstudio (Teezed Hair Studio) in October 2022 to dye her hair copper. Interestingly, the business lists a phone number with the prefix (289) and claims to be one of the salons in Vaughan, listing this as their business number. They also frequently tag Maple, a neighborhood in Vaughan, Ontario, which is part of York Region in the northwest of Toronto. I can’t help but wonder if Colson has ever been there—it seems like a pretty specific neighborhood for him to visit.  They captioned the post where they tagged bbrumm as: “B O L D. When you’re ready, you’re ready. @/bbrumm went from her blonde balayage to this deep copper base melted into lighter copper on her ends. What we did? We used her existing highlights to our advantage—no extra lifting was needed. We just melted her new rich base color into the light copper at her ends. For maintenance, we sent her home with her custom-made color conditioner from Fabuloso and booked her next color appointment for 6 weeks from now. #/hairbylo @/lorwoudstra #/maplesalon #/vaughanstylist #/gtastylist #/blowout #/womenshairstyle #/ricareds #/ricacolorist #/balyage #/redbalyage #/haircut #/transformation #/italianhaircare #/copperhair #/coppercolourmelt #/fabulosopro”Curiously enough, Megan debuted copper hair in March 2023, right after her public Instagram meltdown, six months after bbrumm.

There’s also a Snapchat account with the username bbrumm. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the same person behind the bbrumm Instagram account, but it’s worth noting that the full picture of bbrumm, tagged by both her friend/relative and the hair salon, looks just like the avatar of “Janessa 🍒” on Snapchat—so maybe that’s her real name.

___________________________________________

DISCLAIMER🕵️Personally, I don’t know these people. I’m not implying anything. I’m just reporting stuff that’s factual: Deuxmoi hosts did say those things, the person he just followed did have those interactions, and there is another account on another platform under the same username. I don’t know if these things are connected to each other or if this Toronto Canada lore is even real to begin with. Draw your own conclusion, or just keep these pieces of the puzzle🧩—no pun intended since it’s bbrumm’s bio and tattoo—in your mind if new stuff comes out. Besides the tattoos, she looks like a natural, simple girl, unlike bad girl Kiki. On one hand, her being very basic makes me think their potential on-and-off hookup might go beyond lust, if she’s even the alleged Canada chick Deuxmoi has spoken about. On the other, he doesn’t even follow the private profile of Casie’s mom (which handle I do have—can 👀 anonymous confirm it if they know it, without saying it, just by using a food emoji?). So, I’m led to think he wouldn’t risk exposing her if he at least cared about her. If she’s one of his mistresses, this wouldn’t be the first chick he keeps as a go-to when he’s back in that city, so I’d be more prone to think he cared or even had feelings if he crossed the country just to link up."

RECAP🕵️ about bbrumm, the girl he just followed (again): she’s possibly (white) Hispanic, goes to the DR, had copper hair right before Megan, and already had hand tattoos eerily similar to what Megan got. She’s Catholic OR comes from a Catholic family. She is either the mother or aunt of a child named Antonio, around 7-10 or 12+, depending on if it’s the first or second communion. There’s a chance Antonio could be the same age as the child “in these walls”—I’ll roll my eyes if that’s her. She likely lives in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) or somewhere in Ontario, Canada, and might be named JANESSA.

___________________________________________

Can the -👀 anonymous give me their feedback on this? What’s their opinion on it?  

Also, do you know who the “in these walls” girl is? I don’t need an address or their social security number, ofc, just need to know who they are and if they played a role in his life. I’ve had this morbid curiosity since November 2016—will we ever find out?

___________________________________________

🕵️ PART 2, 

As his fan, I wonder if he actually did cheat on the pregnant woman carrying his child—and, even worse, if he’s trying to rub it in her face with this public follow. If that’s the case, he’s nothing but a disgrace. I utterly dislike Megan, believe me, but even she doesn’t deserve this, especially not him possibly adding insult to injury, especially now that she’s halfway through her second trimester. If all of this is true, he’s just cruel to tease the mother of his next child—shame on him. I wouldn’t wish this kind of humiliation and pain on anyone, not even a chick from Toronto, Canada.

Colson kinda does remind me of some of my male relatives. At family gatherings, I’ve overheard them talking about how to manipulate women. One of the things that really shocked me was when my uncle told my younger cousins to pick any girl—didn’t matter if it was a baby mama they no longer cared about, a random shop assistant they barely knew, an ex-friend, or a friend with benefits. The whole point was to make the girlfriend feel insecure, stir up jealousy, and create competition—basically to keep the relationship under control. The idea was simple: create a rival to ensure the girlfriend always comes back, because she wouldn’t want to give her "enemy" the satisfaction of seeing the couple apart. Most of the time, the girl chosen as the pawn has no idea she’s being played. If she’s sleeping with the guy and knows she’s being used as a comparison, she probably thinks it’s a sign that he deeply values her, when really, it’s all part of the game. 

I’m guessing someone who spent their childhood and teenage years in rough neighborhoods of Denver and Cleveland, with little to no parental supervision, must have been surrounded by people like my uncle on the street, ready to give him “game”. I would not be shocked if he was very familiar with these tricks. If I remember right, Kelly Kay once said Colson told her he broke up with her because she was "too wifey" for him—and honestly, I believe her that he said something like this. If I had a penny for every time I’ve heard that excuse, I wouldn’t be rich, but I’d definitely be pretty well-off. Do you remember when he told Sommer not to touch any of their phones to "avoid radiation" while they were on vacation, staying under the same roof for the first time? He came up with that excuse just to keep her from snooping through his messages with Megan when he wasn’t paying attention.

It might sound like a conspiracy theory, but Colson is really strategic with how he handles his accounts. He’s always checking his tags and never misses a mention of himself. My gut tells me he’s using this girl as a diversion, especially now that gossip blogs are all over him and Megan’s circle (her friends, Brian, etc.) is probably keeping an eye on him from a distance. Colson’s behavior as a boyfriend is pretty clearly manipulative and unscrupulous. Given the blind items (which, let’s be honest, sometimes celebs leak themselves), it’s possible he’s been using this "bbrumm girl" to keep Megan distracted from the start—focusing her attention on her as a potential rival in love so she doesn’t uncover more of his skeletons: other women, a double life, or even a serious parallel relationship. That could explain why -👀 anonymous says Megan seems jealous of her, to the point where Megan might have copied her hair or even her hand tattoos—which, to Megan’s defense, are actually a pretty popular trend (even Hailey Bieber and tons of influencers have them).

You need to work for the FBI 🤣

The Bitch is Back

Admittedly this is a wild title for someone who had absolutely zero presence or following on this website in the past, despite spending unending hours reblogging pictures of old cameras and cigarettes when I was a teenager and early university student. But I'm back.

Everything feels quite different, I'm finding myself having to search directory items for functions that I could do with my eyes closed when I was 16; "where are my drafts", "are likes default public or private". Other questions you can't google as easily. Is it uncool to use a free blog theme? How are you viewed in the microcosm culture of the website for using a picture of your real face instead of a character or avatar?

The main drive to get back in to tumblr was to escape from twitter, which I was starting to feel like was making me stupider. There are two accounts I'll miss: my friend Autumn who posts photos of her beautiful sewing and quilting projects (she tufted a chair the other day??? She's so cool.) and that menswear guy who's always dunking on people wearing bad suits.

The other main reason was that I want to write. And I want to write about me. I'm trying to develop some more language and attention-span improving habits; my partner Jethro sat down on the couch with me the other day and told me that he was starting to feel worried about the amount of time I'm spending just aimlessly scrolling before getting up to start my day in the mornings. I agree with him, and it's not even like the habit makes me feel good. It's just void stuffing. We'll start with a migration to a new website where I can write longform. But, you know, wherever you go, there you are.

That's right, Poorly Translated Mod Caroline.

It's felt like a much busier summer than it actually has been, but pockets of very high activity have left me feeling exhausted frequently. My brother in law Fionn came to stay with us from Toronto for a couple days so we took him out to experience some true Vancouver culture: shooting pool and drinking two pitchers of beer at the Ivanhoe.

We also stuffed him full of good pasta and bread at my favourite Italian place before putting him on the plane back home.

I love dive bar graffiti.

I also completed annual summer maintenance at my theatre. We usually put on movies while we clean lights and this year the request was for 1954 Godzilla. This was a really interesting watch (that I'm not prepared to fully tackle in this post) but suffice to say I did not expect to cry while watching a movie I believed to be primarily about a giant lizard. Or how hard it would be to try and read subtitles while you're trying to clean lights.

The last big summer 2024 adventure is quickly on the horizon, Jethro and I fly to Japan a week from today for my first trip off continent. I'm very excited, and also a little scared. I'm a worrier by nature so it's been a productive exercise in preventing worry by action rather than succumbing to procrastination, but also the letting go of things that just aren't that important. And I'm sure I'll find new things to worry about once I'm there.

Stucco vs. Other Exterior Finishes

Stucco vs. Other Exterior Finishes: What’s Best for Toronto Homes?

When it comes to choosing the right exterior finish for your Toronto home, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. With so many options out there, how do you decide? Let's break down why stucco, especially EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System), might be the perfect choice for you compared to other materials.

‍

Why Stucco (EIFS) Stands Out

‍

Durability and Weather Resistance

Toronto’s weather can be pretty harsh, from freezing winters to hot, humid summers. Stucco is known for its durability and ability to withstand extreme weather conditions. EIFS, in particular, offers an extra layer of insulation that helps keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer. This makes it a fantastic choice for our local climate.

‍

‍

‍

‍

Energy Efficiency

With rising energy costs, who doesn’t want to save a few dollars on their heating and cooling bills? EIFS provides excellent insulation, reducing the amount of energy needed to heat or cool your home. This not only lowers your bills but also makes your home more eco-friendly.

Versatility in Design

Stucco is incredibly versatile. Whether you want a sleek, modern look or something more traditional, stucco can be customized to fit your vision. You can choose from a variety of textures and colors, allowing you to create a unique look that stands out in your neighborhood.

Comparing Stucco to Other Finishes

Brick

Brick is classic and sturdy, but it comes with a hefty price tag and can be less energy-efficient than stucco. It’s also heavier, which might require additional structural support.

Vinyl Siding

Vinyl siding is cheaper and comes in many colours, but it lacks the durability and insulation properties of stucco. It can also fade over time and is more prone to damage from extreme weather.

Wood

Wood offers a natural, warm appearance but needs regular maintenance to prevent rot, pests, and weather damage. It’s also not as energy-efficient as EIFS.

The Cost Factor

Initially, stucco might seem more expensive than some other materials. However, its long-term benefits, like energy savings and low maintenance, make it a cost-effective option in the long run. Plus, the added insulation of EIFS can lead to significant savings on your energy bills over time.

Easy Maintenance

Stucco is relatively easy to maintain. A simple power/soft wash once in a while can keep it looking fresh. Minor cracks can be repaired easily without needing a full overhaul, which is not always the case with materials like wood or vinyl.

‍

‍

‍

‍

Choosing the right exterior finish for your Toronto home is a big decision. While there are many options, stucco, especially EIFS, offers a combination of durability, energy efficiency, and design versatility that’s hard to beat. Whether you’re building a new home or renovating an old one, consider stucco for a stylish, long-lasting, and practical exterior finish.

Blood Price by Tanya Huff

Vicky Nelson is a private investigator. She used to be one heck of a murder detective for the Toronto police, but deteriorating eyesight and her stubborn-ness led her to leave her true calling. A killer is stalking Toronto and the first victim's girlfriend hired Vicky to find the killer, since she doesn't believe the police are looking in the right places. Vicky's ex-partner (and ex-lover) Mike Celluci is in charge of the investigation and does not appreciate her "help". A chance encounter pairs Vicky with Henry FitzRoy--Romance Writer, Vampire and bastard son of Henry VIII as they hunt what appears, despite the impossiblity, to be a demon.

this is the first book in the series that the show blood ties is based on, which i recently started watching on tubi. the show is fun so maybe the books will be too lol

also why did they change henry from a romance writer to a graphic novelist? especially since this is a lifetime show lol

Haunted Homicide by Lucy Ness

Avery Morgan has been hired to breathe new life into the Portage Path Women's Club, but first she'll have to deal with a dead body and a meddling ghost. Avery Morgan has had a harrowing first week on the job as manager of the Portage Path Woman's Club. Not only is she in charge of a grand old home with a mountain of maintenance problems and scheduling nightmares--thanks to a recent fire in the Marigold meeting room--but she's also got Muriel Sadler to deal with. Muriel is the current president of the club, the one "nay" vote when the rest of the board voted "aye" to hiring Avery. After a morning of dealing with another one of Muriel's snits and a meeting with the delicious and delightfully unsettling Ben Harkness, who will be handling renovations in the fire-damaged portions of the house, the last thing Avery needs is for one of the fuses to blow. Again. She grabs her handy flashlight and heads into the basement, where she stumbles across Muriel's body. She also stumbles across an unexpected helper, Clemmie Bow, the ghost of a young woman who was accidentally killed in the building almost a hundred years ago. Together Clemmie and Avery are determined to solve Muriel's murder before the killer sends Avery to join Clemmie on the other side.

The Deep by Nick Cutter

From the acclaimed author of The Troop—which Stephen King raved “scared the hell out of me and I couldn’t put it down.…old-school horror at its best”—comes this utterly terrifying novel where The Abyss meets The Shining. A strange plague called the ’Gets is decimating humanity on a global scale. It causes people to forget—small things at first, like where they left their keys…then the not-so-small things like how to drive, or the letters of the alphabet. Then their bodies forget how to function involuntarily…and there is no cure. But now, far below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, deep in the Marianas Trench, an heretofore unknown substance hailed as “ambrosia” has been discovered—a universal healer, from initial reports. It may just be the key to a universal cure. In order to study this phenomenon, a special research lab, the Trieste, has been built eight miles under the sea’s surface. But now the station is incommunicado, and it’s up to a brave few to descend through the lightless fathoms in hopes of unraveling the mysteries lurking at those crushing depths…and perhaps to encounter an evil blacker than anything one could possibly imagine.

I'm in Love with Mothman by Paige Lavoie

22-year-old Heather is suffering from an epic case of burnout. So, just like any other young influencer, she abandons her social platforms. Check! gathers up her best flowy dresses. Check! and moves to a desolate cabin. Check! Heather imagines spending her #unplugged days traipsing through the woods and tending to her garden. However, her cottagecore fantasy is turned upside down when a wounded cryptid crashes into her roof—and her heart. With no help from her internet followers, and the local monster-hunter growing suspicious, Heather’s quiet life in the wilderness has suddenly become a little more complicated. To make matters worse, she thinks she might be falling in love with the brooding winged man in her living room.

[woah-were-halfway-there]

Can you tell us more about baby Frank? Like the ride home with him? What it's like having to take him to the toilet all the time? Them loving on him as a baby.

Oh pls so they picked up Frank shortly after new years so they had him for just over a year before Mia was born. They drive home after picking him up was a little over an hour since where they got him was outside of Toronto. It was pretty chill, he slept on Carson’s lap pretty much the whole way because he immediately took well to her. He also took very well to Auston too but he was driving lol. Even as a puppy he was always very easy going and is so low maintenance, but when he wants love and affection, he makes it very known by nudging his people with his nose until they pet him and that started as a puppy. Taking him out to go to the washroom wasn’t too bad, Carson and Auston knew what they were getting into and split taking him outside and for walks evenly although they usually would just take him together. There were a couple of accidents in the condo at first but nothing drastic. He was around 8 months old when Carson and Auston found out they were expecting Mia and it was almost like Frank knew something was different with Carson. He was always splitting time cuddling with her and Auston but leading up to finding out they were expecting was when they first noticed it but throughout Carson’s pregnancy he became SO attached to her. He hardly left her side and got so protective of her too. When they were back in Toronto, there was a night it was just Carson and Frank at home because Auston was away and Carson wasn’t feeling well and had fallen asleep in the evening, she would’ve been about 6 months pregnant at the time, and when she woke up it was after 10:30 at night and so she felt terrible because she hadn’t taken Frank out and usually if it’s just her home she wouldn’t take him out that late because she doesn’t like walking around alone at night in downtown Toronto but she hadn’t taken Frank out since that afternoon so she ultimately decided on just going outside even though she had a really bad feeling about it and just called Auston while she went. Because it’d been so long since she last took Frank out, she wanted to take him on a decent walk but obviously not too long because again she was alone. She still felt a little on edge but felt better talking to Auston and he knew that. As she and Frank cut through a park, someone started following Carson and she noticed, but tried to remain calm convincing herself it was nothing but when she took a shortcut down a path between two buildings and changed her route a bit to see if she was actually being followed and the person was still there, her heart just sank and so she lowered her voice and told Auston what was going on and so he was on high alert telling her to get home because then their building security could deal with it if need be and asked if he should call the cops but Carson said not to that she was just going to hurry home even though she hated the idea of being followed back there but they still stayed on the phone. Anyways, as they were almost home, just about to round the corner to get there, Frank stopped out of nowhere and was not listening as Carson was frantically trying to get him to keep going. Instead, he held his ground protectively , turned to face the person that had been following them then snarled at them. He growled threateningly and then started barking at the person, not taking his eyes off them until after they awkwardly scurried past and continued going until they eventually rounded the corner and went out of sight. Carson was speechless because she’d never ever seen Frank be aggressive towards someone like that but he must’ve sensed how nervous she was and the bad vibes because he went into full protective mode. Auston got worried when Carson went quiet and all he could hear was Frank growling and barking, but once the person was gone Carson told him what happened and he was also surprised to hear Frank acted that way but so relieved cause he knew Carson had a protector

The text messages among a group of former University of Denver teammates almost always follow a similar pattern: Someone will try to pry information out of Dylan Gambrell, the 26-year-old centre carving out an NHL career for himself. Yet before they know it, those same friends will instead find themselves sharing insight into their own life and career as the crafty and elusive Gambrell has managed to flip the tables.

That’s the way Gambrell operates.

Sharing personal details doesn’t come naturally to Gambrell. Instead, the Maple Leafs centre signed to a one-year, $775,000 contract this offseason is at his most content when he’s surrounded by teammates, keeping the conversation going but still keeping his cards close to his chest.

“He’s a silent assassin,” former Denver teammate Blake Hillman said of Gambrell. “He doesn’t say much, but he’s very cerebral about the way he handles his life.”

With the likes of Tyler Bertuzzi, Max Domi and John Klingberg joining the Leafs via free agency, the addition of Gambrell has flown under the radar. He’s 26 but has already spent parts of six seasons in the NHL. Early indications are that Domi — despite having played centre before — will line up on the wing to start his Leafs career. And so there looks to be a hole in the fourth-line centre role. Pontus Holmberg could be in contention for the job, given his defensive acumen and how well he adapted in a short amount of time during his 37-game NHL rookie stint last year.

But right now, Gambrell might be in the pole position for the job.

“(Gambrell) has played a lot in the league over the past few years,” Leafs GM Brad Treliving said. “I think he is going to provide us with good depth.”

Those who know Gambrell believe his journey has given him the kind of experience and know-how that could allow him to surprise some onlookers, make the most of his time in Toronto and grab onto a full-time NHL spot.

Throughout Gambrell’s three seasons at the University of Denver, teammates and the coaching staff rarely had to worry much about him.

Not when Gambrell was showing his strong puck skills and speedy skating in a top-six role in just his second year with the program, and putting up more than a point per game throughout his entire three-season NCAA career. And not when contributing in all situations including in key moments late in games en route to a national championship in 2017.

The responsible game Gambrell employed mirrored who Gambrell was off the ice: low-maintenance and remarkably mature. During Gambrell’s 2015-16 freshman season, he was voted the “Most Put Together” teammate in a year-end awards ceremony.

“He’s always been one of those guys looking out for everyone else,” Hillman said of Gambrell.

Gambrell credits moving far away from his Bonney Lake, Wash., home to Colorado at 14 and moving in with the family of future Boston Bruin Brandon Carlo while playing Triple-A hockey as the reason for his early maturity.

“He was always involved (with the team) and always in the mix, in a good way,” Gambrell’s former Denver assistant coach David Carle said.

Carle was invited to Gambrell’s July wedding and was taken aback by the fact that nearly 20 former teammates of different ages were invited. He then remembered what kind of person Gambrell is.

Whenever Carle would tuck his head in on team functions, he would see the entire Denver team in attendance. And he’d then hear later that was because it was Gambrell who would make the effort to include every player, regardless of age or standing within the team.

“(Gambrell) likes to relate to everyone, and in different ways, which is a pretty unique characteristic of his,” former Denver teammate Logan O’Connor said of Gambrell.

While Gambrell might not necessarily be as gregarious as, say, fellow new Leaf Ryan Reaves, his high comfort level with different types of teammates is nonetheless notable. Treliving said early in free agency that he had heard this Leafs team is a “quiet group.” And so Gambrell’s efforts to be consistently inclusive with teammates could have made him an attractive signing in Treliving’s eyes.

“He’s a guy who endears himself well to his teammates because of the quality of person he is, and the values he has,” Carle said.

Being low-maintenance helped Gambrell move on from Denver and earn three different contracts with the San Jose Sharks after being drafted in the second round of the 2016 draft. He spent most of his first full pro season in the AHL learning the ropes, and learning some hard lessons about sticking in the NHL.

Consistency didn’t come easy. Some nights Gambrell looked like the best player on the ice during a 51-game season with the AHL’s San Jose Barracuda, other nights he’d struggle to impact the game.

“He was really hard on himself,” Gambrell’s then-Barracuda head coach Roy Sommer said. “If he didn’t get the results he liked, it affected his personality a little bit. But he started getting better at that.”

Gambrell came to a realization not every young professional comes to: The highly skilled player he was in college, who produced plenty of offence over his three-year career, might not be the player he could be in the NHL.

He’d have to embrace more of the 200-foot game he played at times in college and focus on impacting the game with finer details as opposed to only on the scoresheet. It ended up becoming one of his most important realizations as a pro to date.

“I had to change my game,” Gambrell admits. “Obviously there was a maturing phase, and I realized my defensive game was going to be a much bigger thing. I always thought I was a 200-foot player, but I had to realize how important the defensive side of the game is, too.”

And again, he did it all with the kind of coachable attitude that has endeared him to those who know him. He might have been a relatively high draft pick with a promising offensive future, but his maturity helped him come to an understanding of his NHL future that can be difficult for some to swallow.

“I never once saw him text and complain about being on the fourth line,” Hillman said.

That’s not who he is.

“You’ve got to find your niche,” Gambrell said of his NHL career. “(Playing defensively) was something that helped keep me in the lineup.”

Throughout his four seasons in San Jose, he admired the way veterans such as Joe Pavelski handled themselves with consistent professionalism on and off the ice. It meant that when he landed in Ottawa after an October 2021 trade, he stuck in the NHL with the Ottawa Senators. He scored just seven goals in his 123 NHL games in Ottawa, but the experience added up, as did his ability to read games with his hockey IQ and learn to be in the right spots defensively by utilizing his smarts and speed.

That maturity, skill set and NHL experience could see him beat out the incumbent Holmberg in a training camp battle.

“I think (the Leafs) like my energy and speed and the responsible side of the game that I can bring,” Gambrell said.

The battle for the fourth-line centre role will be one of the few roster battles to watch once Leafs training camp gets underway in September. After a career spent largely out of the limelight, Gambrell will have more eyeballs on him and his play than ever before. To win a spot, he’ll need to show more offence in his game than he has in the NHL. That’s partly why he’s planning on arriving in Toronto well ahead of training camp to acclimatize himself with his new teammates and start developing some chemistry on the ice early on.

But it feels likely the increased attention Gambrell will face in Toronto won’t faze him whatsoever. He’s built his career on keeping his head down and trying to improve.

Just ask his group chat.

“He’s very good at not showing emotion. He always reacts to every situation with calm,” Hillman said. “If there’s one person who will be able to tune everything out, it’s him.”

Garage Door Replacement vs. Repair: Making the Right Decision!

The garage door serves as a functional and aesthetic component of your home. It provides security and convenience and contributes to the overall curb appeal. However, garage doors can experience issues over time, like any mechanical system. When faced with problems, homeowners often debate between repairing or replacing the garage door. 

A properly operating garage door is crucial for several reasons. It ensures the safety and security of your vehicles and belongings stored in the garage. Additionally, a well-maintained door enhances the curb appeal and value of your property. Regular maintenance and timely repairs help prevent potential accidents, maintain insulation, and extend the lifespan of your garage door. You also have the option of emergency garage door services Toronto to help yourself overcome sudden situations and find a solution tailored to your needs. 

In this blog, we will probe the factors to consider and guide you in making the right decision for your garage door.

Come On!

Signs Of Garage Door Issues

Recognizing the signs of garage door issues is essential in determining whether repair or replacement is necessary. Some common signs to watch out for:

Noisy Operations

Excessive noise during garage door operation, such as grinding or squeaking sounds, may indicate worn-out parts or inadequate lubrication.

Slow or Uneven Movement

If your garage door moves slowly or unevenly, it could indicate issues with the tracks, springs, or opener. This can affect the overall functionality and safety of the door.

Damages Panels or Hardware

Visible damage, such as dents, cracks, or rust, on the garage door panels or hardware may compromise its appearance, functionality, and security.

Safety Concerns

Malfunctioning safety features, such as sensors or auto-reverse mechanisms, pose a significant risk. If your garage door fails to detect obstacles or reverses unexpectedly, it requires immediate attention.

Garage Door Repair

Repairing a garage door is a cost-effective solution in many cases. 

Benefits 

Cost savings compared to replacement

Preserving the original door's aesthetic appeal

Addressing specific issues without major modifications

Extending the lifespan of the garage door

Common Repairs

Garage door repairs may involve fixing or replacing components such as springs, cables, rollers, tracks, or the opener. These repairs can restore the functionality and performance of the door.

Hire A Professional

When it comes to Toronto garage door repairs, it is highly recommended to hire a professional technician. Garage doors are complex systems with various components, and attempting repairs without the required expertise can be dangerous and may lead to further damage or personal injury.

A garage door technician at Dortech Garage Doors has the knowledge, experience, and specialized tools to diagnose the problem accurately and safely and perform the repairs. They can also identify any underlying issues that may not be immediately apparent and ensure that the door functions optimally.

Garage Door Replacement

While repairs can address many garage door issues, there are situations where replacement is the more suitable option. Consider the following factors when contemplating a garage door replacement:

When To Consider Replacement

Extensive or irreparable damage: If the garage door has significant structural damage, multiple broken panels, or a damaged frame, it may be more cost-effective and practical to replace it entirely.

Outdated or inefficient door: Older garage doors may need more insulation, proper sealing, or modern safety features. Upgrading to a new door can improve energy efficiency, enhance security, and provide better protection against the elements.

Desired aesthetic or functionality: If you wish to update the look of your home or improve the functionality of your garage door (e.g., opting for a different style, adding windows, or upgrading to an intelligent opener), replacing the door allows for customization and personalization.

Upgrading To A New Door

Garage door replacement offers an opportunity to upgrade to a more advanced and technologically advanced system. Modern garage doors include improved insulation, noise reduction, innovative connectivity, and enhanced durability. These upgrades can provide added convenience, comfort, and peace of mind.

Professional Installation

Just like repairs, a professional should carry out garage door replacement. Professional installation ensures the door is correctly fitted, aligned, and balanced, maximizing its performance and longevity. Additionally, a professional can guide you in choosing the right door that suits your needs and preferences.

Factors To Consider

When deciding between garage door repair and replacement, several factors should be taken into account:

Age And Condition

Consider the age of your garage door and its overall condition. Repairs may be sufficient if the door is relatively new and the issues are minor. However, replacement might be the better long-term solution if the door is old, worn out, or showing signs of multiple problems.

Comparing Cost

Evaluate the cost of repairs versus the price of a new garage door. Extensive repairs can sometimes add up and become more expensive than a replacement. Consider the potential for future repairs and maintenance costs associated with an older entry.

Long-Term Value

Think about the long-term value and benefits of each option. A new garage door with modern features and improved efficiency may provide excellent value, convenience, and curb appeal, potentially increasing the overall value of your home.

Personal Preferences

Consider your personal preferences and goals. If you have a sentimental attachment to your existing door or prefer to maintain the original look of your home, repairs may be the preferred choice. On the other hand, if you like a fresh and updated appearance or wish to incorporate new features, a replacement can fulfill your preferences.

Making The Right Decision

Making the right decision between garage door repair and replacement depends on thoroughly evaluating the abovementioned factors. It is advisable to consult with a professional garage door technician who can assess the condition of your door, discuss available options, and provide expert advice tailored to your specific situation. This is it! A well-functioning garage door is essential for your home's safety, security, and aesthetic appeal. When faced with garage door issues, carefully evaluate the signs, consider repair versus replacement, and consult a professional to make an informed decision. Whether you choose door repair Toronto or replace it, prioritize your garage door's long-term functionality, durability, and overall value.
