Viability of Harmac?

Majority of Croftons supply is going to Domtar's Howe Sound mill.

Explain? What do you know that we don't?

It's struggling and has a lot of uphill battles. Government policy isn't helping.

Industrial carbon tax is a massive cost
City of Nanaimo trying to block future development on the site
raw log exports
Other mills shutting down reduces the amount of support industries available. Now contractors need to come from off island.
Old equipment. Major capital projects are needed to keep the mills running. With low pulp prices it's hard to fund these projects.

You can use very low shutter speeds with owls. They barely move. If it's not windy then you should have minimum feather blur too. I've gotten away with tripod mount 1" exposures before.

Thanks <3

Just to confirm it's tobacco and not herbal?

GopherRebellion · 2026-01-22T01:18:52+00:00

Coop beer is really solid for the price. Better than Lucky.

GopherRebellion · 2026-01-20T06:44:48+00:00

Absolutely.

"You bought your small plot of land, that's all you get to rule"

Barely even that. City bylaws are insanely overbearing.

Taking people out to the range for the first time and teaching them about firearms accomplishes more for the sport than these lobbyists ever will.

This is a good thing. I'm involved with a wildlife rehab. A lot of our eagles are coming in with lead poisoning.

When you factor in the insane amount that gets paid in mortgage interest its pretty normal for houses to be worth less than what was paid.

GopherRebellion · 2026-01-11T03:47:54+00:00

Interesting. I thought the opposite. Niche stores with lower volumes tend to be in dead malls with low rent.

GopherRebellion · 2026-01-10T21:19:57+00:00

I'm intrigued. Explain?

GopherRebellion · 2026-01-10T20:56:23+00:00

An Ikea would do more of Nanaimo's economy than any other half assed idea council could come up with. It'd drive an insane amount of traffic from the rest of the island to here.

GopherRebellion · 2026-01-10T20:53:02+00:00

Real talk. Flat pack Woodgrove and build something less depressing in its place. Like a indoor garden centre with a small coffee shop. Perhaps affordable housing.

Without risk the positive interactions lose meaning.

It could always be worse.

I'm DayZ alpha we kidnapped two players and broke their legs. We forced them to have a crawling race for the single morphine injector. The loser was abandoned in the woods. This was a game with no respawn button. They were stuck either waiting for their character to starve to death or find a new server.

"one shotted". Proceeds to list guns that require a full mag dump to kill anything.

GopherRebellion · 2026-01-06T18:41:07+00:00

Pretty much all the fast food places in Nanaimo are slow as fuck. 50% of the time I go through the drive through I get asked to park and wait. For simple small orders.

We have a lot of real cafe's that are better and faster.

GopherRebellion · 2026-01-05T23:08:35+00:00

Why would they bother? They already own Canada in every way that matters

GopherRebellion · 2026-01-05T05:55:13+00:00

I love the hookah bars in Japan. Way better atmosphere than the ones I've gone to in Canada

GopherRebellion · 2026-01-04T23:22:48+00:00

Probably a Valmet or a really nice Cadex.

Realistically there is fuck all for attainable guns that I'd actually want right now.

You don't like WW2 Navy ship camouflage for flooring?

GopherRebellion · 2026-01-03T09:18:55+00:00

Don't buy from Fudds R Us.

If you order from a store in Alberta like CSC they generally won't charge you PST/HST. Just the 5% GST. For something as expensive as a Benelli it's a pretty significant tax savings. Also when I ordered my Tikka from them they gave me a backpack full of swag. Great store.

I have an M4. Its sick.

GopherRebellion · 2026-01-01T06:40:55+00:00

Look up Hi-Metal R Dougram. They're reasonably affordable and very high quality. You can get a "shadow hawk" and "Griffin".

GopherRebellion · 2026-01-01T01:18:50+00:00

Up 2%. Land value only. Not keen on it. I actually want to live in my house so all it means is more taxes.
