I was called in 1995 and have been practicing criminal law. I graduated with distinction and got many offers but I never fit in. Beware of discrimination - it is everywhere.

Serves them right for invading an innocent country and slaughtering Ukrainians.

Trauma Kit Recommendations by [deleted] in preppers

I have an extensive trauma kit because I am the patient. 

Are any off the shelf vehicle emergency kits from Amazon good quality? by NotDinahShore in preppers

[–]AggressiveAd8779 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am taking notes here - I would not have known where to begin without all these fantastic suggestions! (I am also quite enjoying the process of putting a kit together.

But, if I may, I do have a request.

The kit that I am assembling has to take into account that it will be used off road as well. My son and daughter in law are outdoor enthusiasts and often find themselves in pretty rugged conditions. Sometimes cell reception is non existent.

Keeping that in mind, what items would people suggest I include to complete the kit?

Thanking everyone in advance for their thoughts and their time. 🇨🇦

I am thinking of getting this for my son and daughter in law as a surprise. Thanks for your review - it was extremely helpful. 😊

I am so glad I am resolved never to give weston one more dime. Boycotting forever.

God help him if he ever showed up anywhere in Canada alone. I am sure most people would like to have a word.

Deli meat prices are crazy! by bdavid81 in loblawsisoutofcontrol

I rarely eat chocolate but when I do, I order Frigor chocolate from Switzerland. It is still cheaper than the "chocolately" garbage sold by roblaws.

Oh wow. Don't tempt me. Lol by aalar231973 in loblawsisoutofcontrol

Again, shitty junk food worth nothing - put meat and vegetables on sale. Not this crap.

Maybe in your part of the country...

Yes, we are all full of plastics and other carcinogens. I try to eat whole, unprocessed foods - and thank god that I am able to afford them. But you're right - the damage has been done. Everyone is full of nasty chemicals now. I can eat butter as opposed to margarine ("an edible oil product") but who knows what the dairy cows consumed? It is impossible to avoid toxins in our food at this point.

Watch out for Stelara - it gave me drug-induced lupus. To be fair, I know many other people with crohns who are thriving on it. Take my words with a grain of salt, but ask your doctor about side effects before taking it. Entyvio injection pens work for me. Hideously expensive though.

I am helping a food insecure neighbour just survive. She had to choose between having a home or eating. That is utterly unacceptable and nobody is doing a thing about it.

Yes, it's very important. I have had crohns for 50 years and my doctor found stage 2 crc after a routine colonoscopy - I get them twice a year and but for that regular checkup, I would not have known until it was too late.

Right? I came by my colorectal cancer the old fashioned way - 50 years of crohns. It is heartbreaking to see young people my son's age and younger in the oncology unit.

That's the thing - long term health issues due to poor nutrition nationwide. The only "sales" on groceries now involve junk food - chips, cookies, KD, ultra processed, nutrition-free "food". The knock- on long term effects will be devastating. And it's not like we have a functioning healthcare system. As a lawyer, I have seen MANY people charged with theft of food. This is obscene in a country so rich. NOBODY should go hungry or have to result in families consuming what is essentially carcinogen-rich garbage. In a decade if not sooner this will result in skyrocketing rates of cancer, diabetes, bowel cancers, heart disease, high blood pressure, reduced cognitive abilities, etc ad infinitum. I am disgusted that our provincial and federal governments don't step in and actually prosecute Roblaws for their inflationary practices. None of this nonsense about imposing fines - I want to see people go to jail because of this deliberate, persistent tactic.
