I like how he understands, and can use properly in a sentence, the word 'amorphous'... but the majority of his words are 'very, good, bad, horrible, awful'. 'Like never before' has my head hurt like it does watching this. I guess I need some acebaminethan.

Looking for suggestions... Does anyone subscribe to news sources and feel they get their money's worth? Like you, I often run up against the paywalls and I'm wondering which one(s) could be worth paying for a year to try. Thoughts? #news

I always get a kick out of Superbowl winning players 'thanking the Lord', as if the other teams' players didn't. Unless the lord plays favourites.

#CFL changes today π - endzone shortened to 15 yds - goalposts in back of endzone - field shortened to 100 yds, width still 65 yds - auto 35s play clock, not 25 clock run by officials - keep the rouge, but not for missed FG or punts thru endzone IMHO it still keeps the #Canadian feel of the game.

I've bought Yupik #bulk products on Amazon, such as quinoa, sundried tomatoes, trail mix etc. Discovered Yupik is a #Canadian company from #Montreal. So I ordered some stuff directly and got free shipping (orders over $50) #BuyCanadian and buy direct from Yupik so they skip paying Amazon a fee!

The Aussies have a cool standard for product labelling, #Canada should do something similar #MadeInCanada #BuyCanadian
Kevin Hackett π¨π¦ π (@fullmetalhackett.bsky.social) reply parent
Misleading, for sure. Their website mentions the different months that Canadian-grown onions are available. But they ship all year round so US product is used other times. Until our federal govt enforces new labelling rules, we all need to check the individual product labels... like you did!

Folks jumped the gun on this. Yes, some bottling plant jobs were lost in Canada but the product is still 100% Canadian made and bottling for the Canadian market will be in Quebec. The folks in Gimli, Manitoba donβt need this drama. #cdnpoli
