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.

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.
