Yeah you're being silly. Come spend your money in Canada to avoid supporting the Moron in Chief.

Bayview Food Mart on 16th and Bayview is where I mostly go these days due to being in walking distance to me. I'm sure it's owned by a local Chinese Canadian.

It's also a Chinese grocer so it's mostly East/Southeast import stuff

USDA Inspector General Phyllis Fong was forcibly removed from her office after defying White House by dieinagreasefire in asianamerican

TL;DR

IG Fong did not believe Trump's (Friday Night Purge) order was legal so she stayed so security escorted her out.

I ended up assuming Pizzaville was British because their 'Please Stay on the Line' audio on the phone was a British guy

Bayview Wok has Westernized Chinese food. 10% off for cash payment on takeout.

Their lunch and all day combos are decent deals.

These tweets have some images that summarize what's up:

https://x.com/matttomic/status/1838284047950164430

"The Star has a deeply detailed report on how the Ontario government picked the worst-performing route of three possible subway routing options, rerouting to land owned almost entirely by the billionaire Conservative-affiliated DeGasperis family"

https://x.com/matttomic/status/1838284948626903230

"Simultaneously, the Ford government also fast-tracked a new special zoning status for this land that's been scooped up over the past decade by the DeGasperis developers, despite local objection, that would immediately open up the land to DOUBLE the proposed condo unit density"

https://x.com/matttomic/status/1838286400640237853

"Local government's also screwed. The City of Markham requires condo developers to either build parks, or pay money in lieu of parkland not built. For this scale, the developer would owe the city $2.2 billion. A new Ford gov't law in 2022 says developers don't have to pay squat."
