My husband and I are obsessed with Brets chips. So many amazing flavour combos. We buy them at a world foods grocery store here in Toronto. What a taste discovery.

I'm an online seller and I knew about this when Trump first announced it weeks ago. I halted USA shipping end of day Tuesday. Apparently the goods I sell should remain duty free due to specific codes, but I'm not risking it until I'm sure as the USPS is not prepared for this at all.

It is obscene that teachers in your country are being paid wages under the standard of living. Here in Ontario, Canada the starting wage for a first year teacher is at least $60,000. Those with 15 or more years of teaching, $100,000 or a bit more.

How many runs did the Blue jays get in the 9th? Four. They were only down 3-0 beginning the bottom of the 8th. They could have won if Chad hadn't gone in. 🙂

I’ve seen Todd a few times over the years including with Utopia. I must say his concert a few years back here in Toronto at the Danforth Music Hall was THE best ever! He played so many songs I love that I’d never thought he’d play live. I welled up with tears of happiness. A fantastic show!

The fact that all 5 hockey players/gang rapists were found not guilty, sadly continues the judicial pattern against sexually assaulted women. I don't generally like making sweeping generalizations, but this is how this verdict is making me feel. "All men, all men are liars, and that's the truth" 😢

I agree. There are a bunch of multiplexes built circa the late 1950s in my suburban neighbourhood (Queensway/Parklawn) on Stephen Drive. There are also lots of single family homes surrounding them and it works and has worked since they were built.

I have a print of this picture hanging on my wall. Back in the later 1980s, a dealer was selling hundreds of pictures that were used in British music mags from the 60s to the 80s. I bought this classic among many. I love it.

I’m a front & back yard owner. My street used to have a small plaza 2 doors away. A very quick walk for groceries, pizza, dry cleaning & more. Then it got torn down & a bunch of 3 story townhomes went in. Then the larger plaza at the other end got torn down for condos. Now I must drive everywhere.

In these Trumpian times I wish I could just laugh it off, but sometimes you need some uplifting music to break through the noise. NYC's The Fleshtones doing a cover of The Tams "Laugh It Off" helps me imagine a much better reality. Hope the sociopath and his minions are history soon.
