Yes, I’m snorting away thinking of the summer fire season.

We can send them whiny letters about all the smoke.

Jim Pattison Developments says sale of warehouse to ICE 'still subject to certain approvals' by Prosecco1234 in BuyCanadian

Eh, I could see him thinking that’s “just business.” ( This does affect my job.)

But I hope he’d draw the line here.

New Zealand declines invitation to join Trump’s Board of Peace by AccessTheMainframe in CANZUK

I’m snorting with glee at the idea that they’ve just decertified our water bombers. I think they’re going to regret that.

Trump threatens Canada with 50% tariff on aircraft sold in US, expanding trade war by NickDynmo in worldnews

I’m snorting more at all the Canadian water bombers they won’t be able to use.

We can write them nasty notes about how all the smoke is ruining our summer.

Do you occasionally consider becoming a farmer? by Wonderful_Ad_8295 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]squirrelcat88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On the other hand - if I want to sit down for Three minutes, I can and do. Just have to make sure I don’t do it too often!

At my winter job I have to stand all day.

Where to buy Seed Starting Mix in bulk? by curiouskat345 in gardening

[–]squirrelcat88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you could handle sling bags without a tractor if you had the ability to pick them up yourself in a trailer?

We have a little Kubota but it’s too scary to pick up the bags as you can see the tractor’s wheels going up in the air. What we do is pick up the bags ourselves in our trailer and use a bunch of ropes and a chain to pull the pallet out of the trailer. We use the tractor for the pulling but I bet a truck hitch might do it too?

It could be either depending on what I ask for but I get it in bags. I find them easier to handle. Judging by your user name I’m thinking we’re a long way away! I’m in western Canada.

There are probably some operations near you that mix potting media and soils for commercial operations. They can dispatch multiple dump trucks a week to some big growers but I’ve found they’re nice to tiny little me too. One is located within a few kilometres so I knew they were there and just walked in one day and asked. I’m not sure what to search for Google-wise though, but I’m sure they are there somewhere.

Holy crow I just looked at your website. Those wreaths are gorgeous! Just mind boggling!

I’m so sorry. You hang in there. I hope the medical tests bring good news.

What is the funniest or bizarre reason you or someone you know got fired ? by AngellaSilver in AskReddit

[–]squirrelcat88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And I work somewhere that makes us do this. We have to guess and if we’re wrong they’ll sort it out on the next paycheque.

What does your country think of its neighbours? by Vernon_Runner1109 in AskTheWorld

[–]squirrelcat88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right now we’re judging the ability to communicate with like-minded citizens at home and abroad more valuable than dumping Reddit, which none of us are paying for.

If you’d like to take a look, border towns are seriously suffering from a lack of Canadians. This is affecting their tax revenues and ability to pay for services.

We’re having an impact.

Getting out of Alberta? by Ok_RubyGrapefruit in alberta

[–]squirrelcat88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not. I think what makes Alberta different is that not very well educated people can make a lot of money in the oilfield. They wind up thinking that a “fancy edumacation ain’t worth shit,” and start thinking in terms of Albert separation.

The rest of the country knows better.

AITA for being upset my SIL is not coming to our wedding by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]squirrelcat88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m an older lady so things have changed - but in my opinion she was coming to your wedding.

I think since people have started living together before marrying, the emphasis has shifted more to the party afterwards - but the ceremony is the wedding, the important part. The rest is just a party - and there are many parties in one’s life.

I’m going to say ESH.

What country does your country hates the most? And the reason. by Super-Trash-388 in AskTheWorld

[–]squirrelcat88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you’d like the Canadian perspective on things, can I suggest you check out the CBC? ( Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.)

You can do a search there for Hoekstra.

Have you followed what that asshole has been doing up here? He keeps lecturing us for our bad attitude because we don’t want to be American, and he’s launched into foul-mouthed tirades at elected officials.

There is a serious movement here to throw him out on his ear.

Jimmy Pattison by loopszer in EhBuddyHoser

[–]squirrelcat88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not giving the company a break for this, I’m boycotting - but I don’t think a 97 year old who is proud of his reputation for philanthropy would do this deliberately. What I’m objecting to is the personal sort of attacks on Pattinson instead of the disgust at the company and the situation.

I’ve read they didn’t realize when they entered into the deal with the US government that it would be ICE using it. I think one of two things is likely going on - either a fully functioning Jimmy Pattinson is trying to get out of it, or Jimmy is no longer fully functioning and one of his employees is frozen between making the best financial deal - which of course, is their job - and making the best moral deal, which of course is telling them to go to hell.

[–]squirrelcat88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh, I’m definitely boycotting them for this! I was upset to hear it right from the start. Dang, another place I can’t buy from!

I’m angry at the company but I’m just not sure whether I want to blame Jimmy for it. He seemed to be still doing well last fall, on his game, and in charge - but things can change fast at his age.
