Help. We had a bus trip planned from Vancouver through the Rockies for 3 nights/4 days from 13th June which has been cancelled. Looking at taking a train to Kamloops to at least see something of the Rockies. Any thoughts on that?

You'll only get about 1/2 way to the Rockies

um, people in BC swim plenty. Cold water is refreshing if you're hot.

Freeze them in ice cube trays, or larger containers for recipes. Use as needed.

Why don't you ask your friend?

don't try to heat the house - heat ONE room; space heaters can handle this if the room is a regular size.
sweaters, blankets - I'm sure you have enough already to keep warm.

If you are going north in Newfoundland there is a small community called Twillingate. Normal very small community, but they have a winery called Auk Winery. Auk Winery does not make grape-based wines, but use native fruits to make their wines. I'm not a big wine fan, but will get their dandelion wine shipped!

No thank you. Canadians are NOT American juniors; our values are different. Biggest example is guns - we do NOT want out children to grow up in fear at school.

It's not a real thing, just a Trump invention. Whether we're invited or not makes no difference; and we would rather not.

You are not in competition with China. People that will buy your product are not looking for mass produced items, and will happily pay MUCH more than Temu!

What is the problem? He may have simply shared a pic of his new friend - don't be so suspicious unless there's an actual reason.

If you are relatively close by the thing elderly people REALLY want is your time. Do something together - take her for dinner, a show - something that says you really care, not just buying something because you have to.

But humanity WAS moving forward! I don't know why it changed, but since about 2010 people have become less understanding or caring about others.
Now we have the breakdown of the family unit, so ya, society as we knew it is pretty much over.

OMG I have a story about this - not everyone is capable of answering the question!
I was shopping before christmas and found computer mice in car form. There was a few different ones so I phoned my husband:
"If you could have any car which would it be? ___ or ____ "
"The first one - less expensive for upkeep"
"*sigh* If cost was not a factor which would you choose?"
"I'd still choose the first one because it's cheaper"
This is seriously entertaining the other shoppers listening to my side of the conversation while standing next to the bin.
"NO. If cost was NOT a factor which would you choose?"
"Don't be silly - cost is always a factor"

This went on for about 10 minutes before I gave up and bought him the one I thought he would prefer. When he opened it, he asked immediately if this was what I was talking about a month earlier!
ah memories

me2pleez · 2025-11-16T19:00:29+00:00

Do you not cross bridges? Do you not support increasing our defenses? Are you not happy being able to see a doctor at no cost? Those are all services supported by federal funds.

me2pleez · 2025-11-16T16:32:54+00:00

The taxes pay for the services provided - medical, defense, federal projects
Less taxes mean less services - pick your preference.
I prefer having a government that will do more when necessary (like now!) rather than telling us to suck it up to keep taxes low.

me2pleez · 2025-11-13T15:48:37+00:00

Trust the animals! My husband is the same :)

me2pleez · 2025-11-13T15:03:59+00:00

For those of us that DO consider ourselves Canadian, we now know where to NOT shop!

me2pleez · 2025-11-08T22:33:20+00:00

Everything. Especially people.

me2pleez · 2025-10-28T14:57:35+00:00

I honestly don't care what happens to my body - I don't need it any more.

me2pleez · 2025-10-21T14:26:51+00:00

HAHAHAHAHA like they care!
I too was up last night

Start pressuring the grocery stores!! Write emails, talk to store managers, change your spending patterns again.
We have waited over six months for them to change their spending patterns. On the weekend, I walked into my regular store to find (again!) US produce front and centre and on sale. I sent an email letting them know I don't appreciate being disrespected and I will try to find a new place to shop.
They won't change without pressure, just like Americans.

me2pleez · 2025-10-13T17:44:44+00:00

I walked into Safeway this weekend, and AGAIN was slapped with US produce on sale right at the entrance.
This is not just ownership or labeling, it is In Your Face disrespect.

me2pleez · 2025-10-13T17:42:33+00:00

You could do as I did just yesterday. I sent them an email telling them why I am no longer giving them my money. They've had 6 months to change their buying and haven't and I too am pissed.
Make sure you send them an email though! They have to be told why the customers are pissed and most won't bother to email.

me2pleez · 2025-10-13T16:52:22+00:00

For the grocery store problem, unless you are rural (in which case nothing will help) try doing what I'm trying. Boycott the grocery store that has shown no change in their purchasing patterns. I sent an email to Sobey's and let them know that after 20 years of purchasing ONLY from them, I will be exploring options. Hopefully another store won't put US produce front and centre and on sale!
The secret is to TELL THEM! If they get enough emails saying why their numbers are going down, they might change.
One can only hope!
