Somebody should probably get on that, as I understand there is some action winding it's way through the courts in Ontario.

I'm not smart on this stuff by any means, but what's the benefit over doing it yourself instead of getting data/cultures from someone else? A few other countries have already claimed to do so already (China, India, Japan, USA).

i dunno, maybe the chicken or something is good, the rest of it is on par with about any other fast food burger.

The best I can say for it is that it's consistently fresh and has diet root beer, which is god's chosen beverage. The downside is that the burgers are a bit too salty.

loving coop discontinued their coop gold diet root beer I'm pissed about that.



e. Honestly 90% of the reason I go to A&W when I do is that it's on the easy side of the road when I'm going home.

around here they're all 24 hours and do all-day breakfast, which in this immediate area isn't really that impressive, but i can imagine a lot of places that'd be handy

The beyond burger is really good. Too bad it's so expensive.

They also tend to have a lot of olds bitching about "those entitled millenials", so if you have to work while you have coronavirus, it's a good place to go for lunch.

if A&W discontinues the use of glass mugs for dining in with virus fears I will be very sad :(

When dining in all the wrapping etc is totally compostable which is kinda nice. with the big mugs you don’t need one of those (frankly terrible) paper straws either.

also teen/mozza/uncle burgers are the best out of any of the major chains hands down it’s not even close.

Hahaaaaa :suicide:

So there was a report first six months of last year looking at the capacity of hospitals in Ontario. Of the 169 hospital sites surveyed
- 83 were above 100% for more than 30 days
- 40 averaged 100%+ over that entire time period
- The top 9 worst hit places were over 100% at least 167 of the 181 days, topped by Richmond Hill Hospital with an astounding 179

It goes on to say the second half of the year is at least as bad or worse, given anecdotes from some of the sites. Government hasn't moved on helping this and we're so woefully unprepared once Covid-19 goes exponential here in this province.

I mean really the big thing for Canada is that the virus is almost certainly spreading unchecked through the US right now and the massive amount of daily cross-border traffic means Canada should expect to get slammed as a result.

who knew that three decades of austerity meant reduced capacity for government services, wow what a shock no one could have predicted this

what we need to do to solve this problem is cut the health budget and probably close some hospitals

The disruptive powers of excessive national fecundity may have played a greater part in bursting the bonds of convention than either the power of ideas or the errors of autocracy.
