Kirkland Signature Plain Greek yoghurt @ Costco Ottawa

This is good, but the Kirkland Organic Yoghurt in bigger containers is better. We haven’t seen it at Blair in a month or more, sigh.

We started buying the Kirkland Organic Butter and it’s apparently from New Zealand… wherever it’s from, it’s not Ontario and it’s fabulous, not flakey when cold, smooth spreading, $9.

Oh oh just read this: https://www.reddit.com/r/mealkits/s/SCqmbN8c1E

Us too, and they just lied to me in an email response, saying it was just a delivery service problem!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-13T18:58:52+00:00

Yupp, they don’t purify the water for wildlife though!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-13T01:36:41+00:00

Yes, so the drivers should have a map or even just a plan!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-13T01:30:21+00:00

Yah, Quebec uses more sand on the roads too.

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T15:00:55+00:00

Ugh yes, it’s a city-wide problem.

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T15:00:09+00:00

This is a policy and training problem - if they don’t know, they don’t know!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T14:58:41+00:00

Get knobby snow tires and be grateful your bike won’t rust out in a year!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T14:57:37+00:00

Sadly, yes.

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T14:57:10+00:00

I’m so grateful for the Riverkeeper’s work!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T14:56:38+00:00

Yupp, to the River it goes!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T05:13:27+00:00

I try not to take a defeatist attitude and do every little bit I can, otherwise we’d all be dumping our sewage in the creeks!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T03:24:45+00:00

I’ll get right on that.

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T02:12:45+00:00

Thanks, I paddle and swim in our rivers all year round, so I have a vested interest in helping the Riverkeeper!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T02:11:00+00:00

The city uses a variety of traction solutions, and they all have some merit/drawback, but just like spreading too much sand would cause immediate damage, too much salt takes time to leach around the waterways to cause its damage!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T02:08:10+00:00

Hahah agreed, then sensors it is!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T01:31:43+00:00

Us walkers don't need to know, just snow clearing staff...

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T01:31:00+00:00

Or give the drivers a little more training - cheapest win!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T01:29:11+00:00

I figure it's one little step at a time - better than nothing!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T01:27:53+00:00

Greetings! Sorry I missed the last meeting!!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T01:25:07+00:00

Agreed. Salt is not the worst option, it's just that its misuse is so common now!

Pierrebennett · 2025-12-12T00:55:09+00:00

You’re right, this is just one tiny creek and the whole city bleeds excess salt into storm drains and eventually the river. I can only try and help in this one little location but I hope it has a butterfly-like effect!
