On At Issue, @acoyne.bsky.social says supply management is "magical thinking" that "has got to go."

Brother, supply management is a large part of why eggs in Canada are 75% cheaper than in the U.S. right now. If magical thinking is what keeps that industry resilient, I say keep the spells coming!

Lutnick: What if China routed goods through the island to skirt tariffs?

China: *crosses fingers nobody notices its huge shared border with Russia, which has no tariffs*

Are there really that many employers requiring doctors notes for sick time?

600k notes a year is very nearly one for every working person in MB every year.

Not to shame those who get sick and need one, but 600,000 feels like SO MANY

Unfortunately SaveOn is the least convenient grocery chain where I am... But firmly on the boycott Loblaws train.

Yeah, the PC cards are definitely nice but I'm not a Loblaws shopper if I can help it. Good tip on Tangerine though, that's promising.

Any suggestions out there for a no-fee or low-fee credit card with decent cash back or other perks?

Neo dropped the base cashback on my card to 0% without warning, so now I have 0% interest in staying with them.

Listening to my copy of Bob Seger's Night Moves tonight just to discover it has developed a tiny scratch on the title track and now skips just before the chorus

I have never been edged this hard in my life

"The CFIA said it didn't visit any Loblaw stores during its investigation into the matter or issue any fines because the grocer reported it had fixed the problem."

Wow, glad to see our federal agencies really holding industry's feet to the fire.

Yeah. It's not a big deal, doesn't waste any resources for us because I just assume a no show and am always right.

It just makes me wonder who does this, and why? It happens weekly at minimum.

Help me out, sports people:

I run a downtown bar. People often call and ask if we can put the game on. I rarely know what game they're talking about, but I say yes, of course. "Be right over," they say.

And nobody shows up. Ever.

Happened again today, except there wasn't even a game on.

Why?

Do police still not understand that video exists, and that most people have eyes and a brain?

I've seen the video. Even if the police side of the story is 100% true, at best there is a SIGNIFICANT gap (including a change of location) between the stabbing and the shooting.

I had basically this exact same experience but never put my finger on the cause/effect of it all. Wow.

I always thought I just didn't understand the new concepts in gr 12 pre-cal, never occurred to me it might be the teacher who had no Ed degree but used to work at NASA haha

A friend of mine went to Nashville recently and he had multiple different Uber drivers with visible handguns in the front of the car.

Most of my best-performing tweets were about A&W, including a mid-pandemic plea for them to introduce a quaran-teen burger

I guess it's time to be here all the time and not the other place ever again

Arlington Bridge indefinitely closed

The City of Winnipeg has known this was coming for a long time. Every single sign has pointed to the urgent need for a replacement. And still, the official stance is: we will continue to study and see if we can revive this literally crumbling and dangerous bridge. No plan for replacement.

Best Switch games?

why's it always "did you see what I sent you" and never "I saw what you sent me"

Tech giants: We want regulation!

Canada: *introduces regulations*

Tech giants: Not like that!!

now I am become busy, the doer of things

Does Bluesky actually let you re-post your own post (or anyone's I guess) MULTIPLE TIMES?

Can't argue with that.

now I'm tempted to put cream gravy in my coffee

I'm just a guy, standing in front of a new social network, asking it to be better than X
