There's an X-files poster with I DON'T WANT TO BELIEVE on it on Blackbird's wall. He'd rather believe that quip from the Bible that was amended for the masses. It used to read: The meek shall inherit what's left of the Earth But until the Forestry and Fire Marshall knock on his door to evacuate he'll continue to not believe.

That's the way it usually is. It takes a special kind of stupid for any govt to hand away control over that kind of revenue. Just went into the LCB for the first time this year. Didn't like the selection in the other place. 6pk of hard lemonade was $1.25 cheaper in the LCB but OMG I had to take it home and put it in the fridge all by myself. I couldn't chug it cold while I drove home.... how awful

Oh FFS! Look! there's a straw over there in the corner, grasp at it.

And Splinter explodes from under the bed cowering over the Red Menace into dozens of clones repeating lies to defend their Messiah, saved by Divine Intervention... Freedom (don't mention by taking it away from others) And mentioning how it was southern Dems who oppressed blacks 150 f*cking years ago. Get your ass out on the street and ask the first black person when America was 'greater' that it is now. Pre 1865? Jim crow era? Fight for your country then go home to wear your medals at the back of the bus? Dinner at the Woolworth's counter? Marching, churches burning, siccing dogs on children days? The ghetto days while Reagan supported Apartheid? Go on - ask someone. And don't forget There's a special place in Hell for those so-called Christians who: promote as their leader one who has committed every sin and broken every Commandment, who openly calls almost entirely Christian migrants vermin, and claim to do so in His name.

OMG the stupid an whiney fell for the headline bait with the ultimate of 1diotic responses. First by buying the line that it's either spending cut OR raising taxes, second by their brain locked inability to understand if McD's costs $20 then real food costs even more and third by a probable admiration for a cheap white trash billionaire President that served Burger King to White House guests. And last fawning about cutting a f^cking food budget that wouldn't buy so much as an ambulance or a week of toilet paper for Service Canada offices.... cheap cheap cheap. squeaky squeaky cheap cheap

Meh,that was the first time in Ontario. Not my top pick of destinations being from the west and after visiting the Maritimes. When I was in Oregon in the early 1990s I couldn't believe they had no deposit on cans then. They did have these machines you stuffed your cans in, they shredded them and spit out money based on the weight of aluminum. Makes a hell of a lot more sense hauling pallets of shredded metal than hauling and repeatedly handling huge bags with 10 lbs of cans in each thousands of miles. The local SaveOn needs a huge floor space to store those returns. BTW those ReturnIt Centres relieve small store owners of that problem. So you're from BC. So you realize there's no point voting for PP to get rid of the carbon tax, eh? Cuz it's provincial. You'd have to vote for that backstabbing self serving populist Rustad to get rid of it.

Republican platform in one word

Oh we can all learn we need to know about Canada from Fox News, right? We don't need our pwn non-commercial broadcaster we need more corporate interests telling us how things are. Might as well defund KNOW knowledge network too. Knowledge is communism, right?

WTF are you talking about meathead? You one of those kiss American ass so maybe you can taste their dee-licious corn Canadians? Or just one who likes it without the lube?

The point I'm trying to make is 7-11s might be small in size, they are NOT small business they are the among the WORST of chains. As far as 'convincing' small store to take back bottles. f that. They've taken bottles back in BC since the 1950s at least. We'd take them back in 1959 1960 to get our two bubble gums or 8 licorice babies. A friend's daughter makes a living running the Bottle Depot in our small town. Even has a full time employee. You can put in a card and dump your bags of empties in, they sort and direct deposit the money to you. Mine goes into the local Humane Society account for animal rescue. I mean really, the Province doesn't even push for BASIC recycling? Had to yell at the 6 kids that worked for me years ago constantly to put their pop cans in the recycle bin shouting "It's not about the f*cking nickel" until they clued in. Mom & Dad were hicks that tossed beer cans out the truck window and only "rummies" picked up bottles. Even now with a dime a can or bottle deposit, one guy told me every spring after the snow melt he walks the road from the mill to town and one year made $400 from tossed empties. Every time I mow my front lawn there's at least one mangled can I have to pick up. I mean I'm starting to understand the whining and snivelling over the carbon tax if the population just won't do SFA about environmental issues. FFS I visited Ont in 1969 and people were saying "It's either jobs OR the environment" and the song seems to have changed little 55 years later for many.

A party of rednecks, cultists, Gomers and Goobers calling someone else a "farm team"? That's hilarious.

two things I only became aware of this because it made the news his govt rejected the idea recently. FFS! When other provinces have deposits to recycle wine bottles, paper & plastic milk cartons,juice containers your Coke cans get toissed? SHAME \and You have small stores? I mean really I grew up with Chinese Mom&Pop stores on the corner where they lived upstairs or in the back. They aren't around anymore. there are bigger privately owned stores that might benefit, but you know like I do "small business" to govt means Southland and other 'smaller' corporate chains. Just like it does for other incentives like fibre optics, cell service, last mile ISPs etc. And I'm not all that sorry for the pisstank comment I have half my highschool buds who are now blithering alcoholic retirees and an ex that worked directly across the street from an LCB and would raise a shit fit over needing beer when I got home at 6:30 and only the private liquor store 10 miles away was open. I'm a seldom user raised where unless it was a wedding or Silver Anniversary party, the family would ask if you'd like another drink. ONCE. If they finished that they'd be asked coffee or tea. I'm not at all against the private sales - I'm telling you it will be convenient for some - that's all. And if you're expecting cheaper liquor you are a total fool.

So take someone to court over that. And your idea that supporting Palestinian rights = supporting Hamas simply shows your mind is as closed as a nun's you know what

Conscription in Canada? Someone loves picking at scabs don't they? There is zero need for useless, poorly trained cannon fodder now or in the near future.

Someone younger they can gripe is 'inexperienced' and 'radical left' as they're not cultishly onboard with creating the American Reich.

When i see some new bodies in this part of the woods, I'll cheer and call it positive growth. In the meantime enjoy the roller coaster to Hell feeling that I was talking about.

Yeah he worked for CBC. His Boss was probably ROTFL.

And that meme I posted about the ear hole punch can barely even pass as satire now. It's TRUTH. And I thought Republicans were against being "woke".....

But they're cl;aiming there will be growth... we all know that can't be true we're sure it's shrinking and the country's doomed and we're all gonna die starving in the streets. By Monday morning! Just like the National Post would headline how Canada's economic growth will be nothing like China's in the 2-oughts just to make us more miserable.

If the Dork Trump becomes Predident, he will seek retribution by punishing Canada with Trade penalties. Even though Canada-US trade and NATO are two entirely different issues, the miserable c*nt will convince his ignorant followers they aren't. So we better have a good obedient Tory that will bow to His Massah's Orders. Don't wanna p1ss them off or suggest election influencing from them, do we?

Obviously they're more optomistic than the average Canadian. But for the last decade or so, pessimism seems to have become a national characteristic like saying eh? and Sorry!

Unlike some other reprehensible countries, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms does not just apply to Canadian citizens. If an immigrant is charged with a crime they can be and often are deported. Waving signs or chanting 'Free Palestine' or 'from the river to the sea' is not defined as a criminal act and never will be.

After discovering there is no deposit & return on pop bottles in Ontario in 2024, I have determined that province is so far behind the time's it's obscene. This Doug Ford attempt at 'progress" and modernization regardless of all cost utterly convinced me. Pandering to pisstanks and the already-beyond-small business votes. But after going to the hardware store and asking what kind of paint to use on a steel outside door and seeing the store owner respond with an open mouthed drool and a shrug, I can only presume some of you want to modernize and get the same response asking what's a good wine to serve with cedar planked salmon.......all to walk a few less feet and maybe, just maybe save enough to buy a bubble gum.
