Canada has Hutterites and Mennonites. I think there are a few Anabaptist sects still in Germany as well, but that’s about it.

Around here they tend to be honest and hard working, but extremely insular and taciturn. They’ll sell you produce. They won’t be your friend.

And of course, their entire communities and lives are centred around the church.

Miriam Toew’s “A Complicated Kindness” was a great story about a teen growing up in a Manitoba Mennonite colony.

Griffols shouldn’t be allowed to operate in Canada, period.

Sounds like fun, but that would almost certainly drive Trump to invade.

Playing dirty is one thing. Refusing to play at all is an affront.

So we need to play the game.

Fuck him, charge double.

Carney is lying like the conservative he is.

Niche products usually have communities with buy/sell forums. Find one of those if you can.

Kijiji is a reasonable alternative to FB around here. Craigslist is not. Karrot may be an option, but it depends on where you are.

Contact a local makers group - they often have ties to all sorts of other groups.

You can trash eBay all you want, but 85% of a sale is more than 100% of an unsold item.

I’m a child of the '80s.

• ELO - Mr Blue Skies is a mathematically perfect song
• Boston - More Than a Feeling and Don’t Look Back
• Bangles - Walk Like an Egyptian and Hazy Shade of Winter
• Katrina and the Waves - Walking on Sunshine
• Dire Straits - Twistin’ by the Pool

When I saw this, I was hoping against hope that it would be Benita fucking Pederson.

Fuck this woman. She’s an evil, manipulative blight on humanity.

Nah, it was traumatized by the sparks. I took it out for a ‘vacation’ so it could recover.

Yeah, I know what my province’s code says and I followed it.

Also, 20A??! Unless there are three OR MORE outlets??! I don’t know where that would be code. I don’t think I want to know.

This is a sufficient distance from the sink to not need one.

We have a bunch of others that will have to swapped for GFCI, eventually. Just not today.

Set up a retirement tax fund - equivalent to a an RRSP in Canada- and set up an automatic deposit of 10% of your after-tax earnings into it.

Assuming you can eat and cover shelter, of course.

Keep that up, and you will have an early, well-unded retirement.

So he’s not admitting that he’s destroying the company’s legacy and future for a few quarters of short term profit.

Fuck off Bud, and when you get there, keep fucking off.

Excellent.

Fucking zionist hatemongers.

Absolutely.

The fact that Poilievre would be worse doesn’t excuse Carney’s shitty activity for a second. A Liberal minority government was the best situation possible, and the opposition had to ruin it all.

You’ll want to look up a poliyical spectrum position test. They’ll typically expand to a 2-dimensional spectrum, which is a bit more meaningful.

Here are a few:

As has been said before, “Canada doesn’t have a PM, it has a CEO.”

Fuck.

Fucking revolting.

The most accurate thing I’ve seen in a while is that Carney isn’t Canada’s PM, he’s our CEO. It’s both accurate and unfortunate.

I’m older than this generation. Don’t really know any of Ed Sheeran’s music, and only know Thrift Shop from Macklemore.

But I did read the full transcript of Macklemore’s ‘controvery,’ and was impressed with his clarity, eloquence, and compassion.

Ed Sheeran is fucking coward.
