It really depends where you are. I found them at a local farm market. Unfortunately only got out there once. I have see some from Mexico but only at certain times a year.

Yes, nobody should be harassing customer service employees. They are not the ones who made this decision and aren't able to change it.

I forget where I read this, but the gist was that if you remove energy, the "disadvantage" flips - we buy a lot more from them than they do from us ... except energy.

Large computer monitor? Though I realize that probably only works if you have (and want) a small TV like me.

Thanks for this. The entertainment list made me think I want a CanCon community - it exists and I've already joined.

And if that's not enough, check out:

  1. Your local public television. I know Knowledge in BC has an app for various devices.
  2. Your library. I've been getting a lot of DVDs from the library.

Yes, speaking of Canada specifically, China is less of a present and proximate threat. However, we still need to go into any agreements with eyes wide open.

I'm sorry. I don't hold with that argument. People still need to shop somewhere, so shift those jobs to Canadian stores.

But cancelling Prime and avoiding Amazon is something people can do now without having to figure out if a website is using AWS.

That would make some more sense, given that we're cutting scientists from the public service.

I don't know that reference :) Apparently I need to play Stardew Valley - it has been recommended.

I found this video interesting, and the farmer talking about how hard it is to get their berries into stores because why would the store deal with a bunch of farmers when they can deal with one company. So the issue isn't just merging of all berries under one company but the merge of grocery stores under a handful of companies.
