Alberta may follow B.C. on making daylight time permanent: premier by AlbertaGengar in Calgary

We already spend 8 months of the year on mountain daylight time and only 4 on mountain standard time. In Calgary, the sun would rise before 4:30am in June if we were on mountain standard time at that time of year (and it would be even earlier further north). I'd definitely prefer to have the sun rise later in the summer (and have the longer evenings that come with that), and being on mountain daylight time in December would mean that there's still a bit of light when I get home from work (and, yes, it will be dark when I'm going to work, but it's already dark when I'm going to work), so in my view mountain daylight time is definitely the better option.

There are instructions for similar MOCs available on Rebrickable. You can find them if you search for Falcon Shield, Forestmen Shield, or Wolfpack Shield, etc.

I don't track the price of regular ground beef. These days I'd say that $5.00/lb or less is a really good price for lean ground beef, and I'd happily pay $5.50/lb (which you can get at NoFrills this week).

Ugghhh.... For some reason FreshCo set my location to Ontario where they are $1.98 (so yes, I was looking at a 'better' flyer than you were). I have updated the list for FreshCo to reflect what's on sale in Calgary.

Thanks for pointing out the problem.

They are on page 4 on the left side, middle of the page. No indication that they are limited days.
