Wedge Regret
The white claw accords had a crippling effect on the Canadian economy.

Also PP doesn't want security clearance because then he'd be held accountable to the terms in which he'd be told that information. It's a move only an rear end in a top hat who cares about power and not the Nation would make so it falls in line with exactly what he'd do.

Further, I think hours of service are ridiculous in general because they're all built around a society that works 9-5, and that's no longer the society we live in. You're not saving anyone from alcoholism by making the chap working the graveyard shift plan ahead so he can have a beer getting off shift for his days off.

Actually airports (Or at least airports designated as an Ontario Airport of Entry by the CBSA) are the one exception to the AGCO's alcohol sales hours, provided it's being sold in a "sterile area" beyond passenger screening checkpoints. So if you're at a qualified airport they can serve you whatever they want to at any hour of the day.

I'm not sure which stage of grief this is but I'm quite convinced after this particular episode that even if PP becomes Prime Minister he's going to be such a gaffe machine that nobody inside or outside the country will take him seriously.

From here on out a certain kind of person is going to believe with their entire heart and soul that this was a terrorist attack and that, somehow, the Liberals are at fault.

Not only was it not a terrorist attack, the incident took place entirely in the United States. A good chunk of the country is still going to gurgle incoherently about Trudeau, though, because facts don't matter.

Hyundai still doesn't have a recall remedy available for the recall they issued in September that may apparently start a vehicle fire at random, even if it's not running.

They advised me not to park it in or near any buildings until the recall remedy is complete.

They sent me a letter recently that stated they're still working on it.

What a loving joke. Never buying a Hyundai again.

Holy poo poo. Glad I didnt go for one of their compact SUVs. My 2024 Forester Sport is on it's way and I see there was 1 recall that they had a fix for on the 2023 models so most likely fixed on this.

my car has had so many goddamn issues on top of all the recalls and the cherry on top was when my wheels were stolen on their lot when they let it sit there for a week waiting for a part. absolute poo poo company, i can't believe they didn't have a secure lot or even a camera pointed at it.

Yeah my parents bought a Santa Fe several years ago and it's been the biggest piece of poo poo car either of them have ever owned. Constant defects and repairs have been bleeding them cash for the entire time they've had it. They're currently desperately trying to buy a new car but with the long rear end lead time on vehicles now, plus the higher costs, they're stuck with that lemon for now.

Mine has been recalled, but that was before I owned it and the only lasting result is a 2011 car with a 2017 engine in it now so it runs like new. Otherwise I had to bring it in once for a free service/ inspection as part of the recall.

Not sure if we are done talking about private beer sales...

Me and a friend of mine used to work at Provi-Soir (now Couche Tard) in Quebec back in the late 90's as teens. They were convenience stores, and we both worked the night shifts. The one I worked at sold alcohol, cigarrettes, and lots of adult porn magazines. His did not sell alcohol or porn magazines.

It was always at the changing of a shift we would get a huge rush of clients close to 11 pm. Even afterwards, I would get people demanding I unlock the cages so they could buy liquor.

Anyway, I remember one day coming into my shift to find my manager in a really bad mood. Super pissed (I think his name was Michel - he was in his late 30's and already had white hair). The girl before my shift was caught on tape stealing over 1000$ in cigarrettes, the gas pumps were not showing the right price so they were undercharging for days, the health inspector wrote up a huge list of fines, some kid urinated in the kinder surprise bin, and Michel he had just fired two others employees and now was short the evening shift.

He bent down in front of me to access the coin safe, all the while in a very foul mood, lifted his head, and made contact with the sharp corner part of the safe. He immediately yelled a "HNNNGRRPH!", put his hands on his head, and ran into the back.

Then we heard every... single... known... Quebecois swear. Lots and lots of Tabarnacs sprinkled with Maudits and trou-de-culs and Osties on the side. I asked the assistant manager Elizabeth if we should help. I said "Je pense qu'il pete un coche" - she replied "Laissez le faire - il est en train de peter toutes ses coches..." Then we heard him smashing bottles, heaving boxes, until an entire shelf worth of Sleemans came crashing to the ground.

Needless to say, there was a lot of beer bottles everywhere, many broken ones, sticky ones, etc.

Anyway, we were told to repackage / salvage what was left, to wipe down what we could inside the slop sink, and stock the fridges with it. We ended up getting many disgruntled returns from clients complaining about fizzled out bottles, sticky bottles and the like. Oh, and another visit from the health inspector.

Needless to say, that turned me off from buying beer from a Provi Soir for a long time.

I live in one of the least walkable/public transit friendly cities in Ontario (maybe even Canada), so a vehicle is a must unless youre rich as gently caress and can afford to have everything delivered.

My durable, awesome 15 year old SX4 finally went to car heaven and I am now vehicle shopping and it is one of the worst experiences ever and Im tempted to move to Nunavut and buy a loving tiny quad just to never have to deal with car dealerships ever again (Hyundai and Ford have been the 2 worst rated and lovely places I have gone to browse and its not even close).
