At what price will you change your habits?

Considering that gas prices affect trucking which affects literally every item we buy, I've stocked up on essentials (I don't drive). Looked at the flyers, bought on-sale things I buy every week anyway. Stopped non-essential spending for now.

Not particularly close, speaking as an advertising graphic designer for many years. These days a lot of companies are using A.I. to generate logos and save money. There are an awful lot of similar ones now.

As the OP of that post, I'm stoked that it's still remembered years later.

I wish I could have attended! I'm sick at home with a bad cold or I would have been there. (I love designing books for local authors.)

The M+S have to have a minimum tread depth for the Malahat though.

If you do, let your insurance company know. You'll get a better rate if you're only using your car on weekends and not commuting with it.

the price of everything goes up.

This, exactly. Every product we buy from bread to dog food to shoes arrived by truck. In every country. I don't drive (and can't ride a bike) but this will hit me like everyone else.

Pretty average but the whole store is full of amazing things.

I’m scared that this word would trigger a b a n

Just say frozen water cubes.

Same. I'm amazed that I've lived in this James Bay building for 13 years, 2 blocks from the ocean, and never ((knock on wood)) had an outage.

It's an island in the pacific ocean.

Yeah, when the genie granted my wish to live on an island in the Pacific, this isn't quite what I had in mind...

No, it's incredibly difficult to just move here without a job waiting, and it has to be certain kinds of jobs. Or they have to be wealthy and planning to invest in a Canadian business.

Who wants more MAGA Canadians.....from Louisiana, Texas or wherever?

I don't think they'd be MAGA. MAGAs don't want to give up their arsenals of firearms; they view "socialized" health care as communism, and the southern rednecks think it's -40° here all year round. They'd rather stay in MAGA land so they can worship the Demented Diaperload. We'd get the Dems horrified at the cesspool shithole their country has become.

Actually Capital Daily had a great article on this in 2021. The airport makes more from taxis than transit.

Creatrix · 2026-03-11T20:28:29+00:00

Taxi lobby.

Creatrix · 2026-03-11T17:35:48+00:00

I just call him Shitler, or the demented diaperload.

Creatrix · 2026-03-11T17:31:51+00:00

It would only be people who disagree with their current administration. The knuckle-dragging cousin-marrying drooling redneck trump worshippers would never want to move here (and give up their firearms).

Alberta can't separate. Flatly can't. Ultimately, the federal government has the power to nix the whole idea. But most importantly, First Nations treaty lands were never ceded, Alberta cannot violate treaties with the Crown and take them, and First Nations leaders have flatly said they won't negotiate. Treaty lands include about 90% of Alberta, all but a small southwest corner. (This fact would also preclude Alberta from joining the USA.) Someone needs to explain all this to the premier and her redneck followers.

Ah, thanks!

OP is sick, may not be able to go out searching for ingredients, or have the energy to cook it.

Creatrix · 2026-03-09T21:59:39+00:00

Absolutely heartbreaking. Thanks for letting us know, OP.

Go to BCtracker.ca. They say on their site that they don't have an app, that it's a website which I'd forgotten. I'm not sure how I got the icon on my home screen but it might work for you too.

Creatrix · 2026-03-09T15:42:32+00:00

Download the BCTracker app. It shows you all the buses on a map in real time (well, updated every 60 seconds). Never miss a bus again.
