So Papyrus and Carlton Cards are shuttering across Canada. Wherever will we buy our greeting cards now? Sucks for the workers while their CEO will keep his wealth and get on a director's board somewhere else.

I was at Indigo last night and the card selection was pretty good. Bizarre that 3/4th of the store is yoga mats, stationary, weighted blankets and water bottles though.

More power to her, then, as it seems to be a winning strategy. That said I would literally never go in if it weren’t for the Starbucks.

lmao so instead of everyone having to bring their own water and tissues it's just lawyers that have to? what a weird, absurd situation. Like there are water coolers in the courtrooms that everyone else can go up and use but if a lawyer does it the bailiff restrains them or something?

That reminds me of a conversation I had with one of the senior union guys who ran the most visible ad blitzs against the Progressive Conservatives in Ontario over the last twenty years and he told me that when they tried to help Alberta Labour unions set up a similar group to run ads against the government in Alberta they were literally unable to find any local pollster or political advertiser. This was back when the Alberta PCs were still in office and apparently it was widely understood that anyone who took a contract from a union backed group would have been permanently cut off from any kind of government contracts.

That's because Indigo sells those bougie Papyrus cards. The only cards the store doesn't get from Papyrus are the Christmas card boxes they get from their SoHo team.

Thinking back, a Hallmark store that sells nothing but greeting cards is kind of weird.

I hate greeting cards with a fiery passion. My blood boils at the fact that the things cost me $5, $6 or even $7 but are manufactured for loving pennies. Good riddance.

Ideas for 22 Minutes writers doing a mediocre mirror universe epp: - Harper emerges from a corporate boardroom, takes off his suit jacket/shirt/tie and throws it to the ground and kicks it away. He puts on a t-shirt and we learn he is a good person who now cares about people and just wants the best for everyone. (Note: DO NOT add beard.)

We once made a custom card that was a selfie of my wife and I standing in front of the card display because not a single one of them was funny. Screw paying 10 bucks for Family Circus level 'comedy'.

Another good answer is to buy a card made by a local artist instead Always gonna be something good or weird. Often both.

I don't buy cards for people because its dumb. I will write a note and affix it to a gift if I feel like it.

I don't like getting gifts but I like getting thoughtful cards because lives are short and I strongly value relationships over random poo poo inside wrapping paper

That's actually pretty good and I'm going to steal it for personal use and you won't be getting any royalties or recognition. Please don't be offended it's just really confusing to 99% of people when I add "this idea i stole for a cheap laugh from came from EvilJoven, a poster on a dead comedy forum" on the back when they check to see if I paid for the good stuff or not.

Ok real post, Mrs. Butcher is super into cards and buys these actually really neat fancy printer cut 3D pop up ones (it's lasers or tiny knifes or something like that to make it) from artists at craft shows and everyone she sends them to loves them. Way cooler than Hallmark trash. Just FYI that is an option and am happy to shoot a couple options of local Metro Van artists who make these over PM if that might be your jam.

My old latin tutor and his wife used to do woodcuts each year for Christmas cards and send those around to people. They were awesome.

We got some woodcut coasters this year of the street layouts of a couple major cities we had visited and lived in. These were definitely laser cut. I thought they would be a PITA to keep nice looking but whatever they coated them with works great and keeps it totally sealed. Artist will also do any city or spot you like. I'm assuming they have some way of just pulling map data and getting the engraver thing to spit it out. Gifting pro tip there for you CanPol.
