Thank you. I wish the vaccine had been developed years earlier but I’m glad many families will avoid the loss we’ve had. I don’t understand the ins & outs of eligibility but I know some adults who have received it.

Thank you. I am surrounded by friends and family and I’m lucky in many ways.

My husband died in October and we held his memorial service on (Canadian) Thanksgiving weekend; 15 years ago my mother died on Thanksgiving weekend. Both from cancer, both amazing people. I try to remain thankful for the time we had. I’m sorry for your loss.

I understand that but I don’t think in terms of “it could be worse.” And our PM shouldn’t govern that way either. Things could and should be so much better.

This is gorgeous work by both of you!

That’s the only one I’ve read, I liked it a lot but didn’t love it. I’m halfway through Flesh and didn’t finish Audition or Flashlight.

And at PI they have a generous parental leave policy that tops up your employment insurance payments so that you receive almost 100% of your income.

The usual suspects
The Province shifted responsibility to producers in 2024, and since then we’ve been in a transition period. On Jan 1, Circular Materials takes over and they issued the new contract for recycling collection.

Thank you. That’s wild that they get to “issue” a contract with no input from the Region.

And in warmer weather even if you rinse stuff really well, it can attract flies. Recyclables are going to end up in the garbage.
