Nice! I also found a place in Whitby, and I may visit them on the weekend since they're closer. 😁

From what Ford said, Americans who are using the electricity from Ontario will expect to pay an extra $100 on their bill (unless he raises the rates even higher).

As long as those people understand that this is Trump's fault, and they direct their anger towards Trump and his enablers, this will be very effective! And we can always just turn that power off if they aren't putting enough pressure on the trump crime family🤭

Yeah, I'm almost certain I purchase it from Superstore years ago, but since I've stopped shopping there (also years ago!), I can only go by what their website lists, and they only show other brands.

I use yeast all the time (daily), so I'd rather look for a long-term solution.

I think I may need to simply order it online (from a Canadian supplier) and deal with the fact that I'll be paying shipping. I usually sock up and freeze it, so it would be a "bulk" order.

Thanks for sharing the vegan love!

 

Ok, so I've nailed yeast down to Instaferm, which is made by a company out of Montreal. The problem is, I can't really find it locally (Durham Region, Ontario)!

Our Metro says "out of stock", and all other places are online.

Are there any known retailers of this stuff? It's frustrating that stores like Sobeys don't have online ordering so you can at least see what they carry.

I live very close to Foodbasics, Nofrills, RCSS, Freshco, Metro, Sobeys... and of course, American stores like Walmart, which I'm sooooooo over by now. LOL

I've simplified and stick with oats. Pretty much all oat products you find in Canada are from Canadian farmers.

Some of Synology’s software can feel a little clunky to use but generally I’ve found it to work great despite my limited knowledge.

Yeah, I make regular use of some of their built-in apps (Note Station, Drive, Photos).

But they aren't perfect.

For example, Note Station has no good way to export the data for use outside of Note Station (poor data portability) and Synology Audio just feels so outdated. Photos is their best software, IMO.

The beauty of self-hosting this stuff is that you can use any third-party software that reads the files, and you're good to go. Your music, videos, photos, and documents are available as you see fit.

PP doesn't even want security clearance to know what foreign threats are currently influencing his party members.... this guy isn't going to help our country.

We never needed to grow it all here because of our trade partnership with the States.

Since that's never coming back, we should be able to scale our hothouse (indoor production) tomatoes for the extra demand.

Since tomatoes can be made into non perishable goods, there's far less risk to farmers, even if you overproduce.

That's the problem, really. They all have pros and cons.

Kagi is American, so they are out for me. So is DuckDuckGo.

I don't care if startpage uses the Google index, since Google isn't profiting from my data or from ads.

Their servers are in the EU, and the balance between privacy and usable results is good enough.

I see it like using a third-party front end for YouTube. All of the benefits with none of the risks or private data theft.

However, who bought the Teslas?

Likely nobody. These are probably sold only on paper, so "someone" can cash in on millions in rebates.

I hope the investigation is swift and expands to other Tesla dealers, because this is probably not an isolated scam.

LOL. I hope this passes. So hilarious that Donnie fucked around and is finding out!

 

Cancel your trip to the States. Buy a bike instead, and explore Ontario!

 

In addition to the Arkel post that someone else made, Atwater Atelier also makes bike bags out of Quebec.

Some retailers across the country sell their stuff locally (like Urbane Cyclist out of Toronto), but they have online ordering, too.

I've got one of their handlebar bags, and the quality is excellent.

True story: I became aware of the brand when I spotted a cycle tourist while I was on my own ride along the waterfront trail. We rode and chatted (he was from Montreal and doing a cross-Canada ride), and he mentioned the brand after I spotted his Arkel bags, and we got on the topic of bike gear.

 

Just note that many of these products are "Made in Canada", not "Product of Canada", so ingredients likely still come from outside of the country.

Still better than the alternative retailers and brands.

 

American corporations like Facebook, Google, and Amazon make billions from weaponizing your private data. And you don't even have to be using their products for them to steal from you!

Rob them of that option by blocking ads and trackers.

Starve these bastards of your data, and you'll kill their revenue.

 

Most of their casino ~~postings~~ ads are pretty blatant, but this one is so hilariously outrageous!

 

This might be a long shot, but I'll ask anyway.

I used to go through shoes like crazy until I got two pairs of Saucony Excursion trail runners many years ago, and I still use them in rotation but need another pair that I can size up.

Are there any Canadian companies (even if they manufacturer oversea), who have anything like the Excursion? Durability is a top priority, and it has to be all synthetic (no leather). 😬

 

Just a heads-up, while many of the stuff they sell are actual products of Canada (i.e. grown here, too), a lot of them are only packaged in Canada. They do list the country of origin, so you can easily buy NotAmerican ™️

 

I don't game much anymore, but Canadian devs shouldn't be ignored.

On mobile, Rebuild 3 is developed in Canada. Of course, Death Road to Canada was dreamed up by abguy from Kitchener Ontario and it kicks ass!

On all major platforms Ubisoft has some awesome games from their Canadian studios like the Farcry series (Ubisoft Montreal & Ubisoft Toronto), Rainbow Six Seige, For Honor, and Watch Dogs.

Dead by Daylight is also developed by a Canadian game studio.

Share your favourite Canadian developers and game studios!

 

I'd like to move all my business away from Walmart, and their pharmacy is one service we use often.

While I know there are "lesser evils" than Shoppers, they are walking distance away, and that's important to me.

Can anyone share their experience with Shoppers for their pharmacy, and even better would be from anyone who's switched from Walmart Pharmacy to Shoppers.

Thanks in advance.

Update: Thanks for all the input, guys! I ended up going with a local pharmacy. The dispensing fee is about $1 more than Walmart, but they offer free local delivery if I can't get to them, and the person I spoke to was super nice about answering my questions. Sounds like I dodged a bullet by not going with shoppers. LOL

 

Ford’s office made the announcement Monday and said the government is also banning other American companies from provincial contracts going forward
