I would simply keep my mustard free hamburgers on one staircase, and my ketchup free hamburgers on my other staircase.

Canadian Tire is actually really loving good. One of the only innovative Canadian retailers. No matter where you live in a 10million km2 country you can probably find whatever medium quality gadget you need within driving distance, and the website will even tell you the exact shelf in the store to grab it from. Once I got a flat in Murdochville, QC. Tried about a dozen garages and tire shops in the area, even called a bunch of dealerships with no luck, but the CT in Matane (pop 14k, and a 5 hour drive from the nearest real city) had me on the road the next afternoon.

Protest for the Junos since Hali cleared all the downtown homeless camps like three weeks before the awards show. Was a good turnout but very funny moment when the cops asked people to clear the street and everyone meekly did while chanting 'Our Streets' lol. Anyway that seemed to have killed it oh well

COPE 27 posted:Canadian Tire is actually really loving good. One of the only innovative Canadian retailers. In my experience, their inventory tracking is pretty notional, so as often as not they'll tell you they have a number in stock and the location of an empty shelf where it should be in some idealized alternate canadian tire. Maybe it's just somewhere else in the store, no one knows. Certainly not any of the employees, if you can find one (last time I was in a crappy tire there wasn't even anyone at the cash).

Canadian Tire has decent selection and prices as long as you know what you're doing. Because the 12 year olds that work there definitely don't. Like when they bring a car part from the back room, open that poo poo and look at it; the guy who brought it to you can't tell a spark plug from an air filter and might have just grabbed whatever. And call head to make sure they actually physically have the part, because the online inventory system is a big fat liar and personally hates you. A lot of the Mastercraft tools are pretty garbage quality, but most of them have the lifetime warranty thing, and they do actually honour it, so you can just beat on them and exchange them when they finally give up. And if you wait for those pink tag sales, you can actually get a pretty good deal on a mediocre ratchet set or whatever. And never get work done in the auto shop. Never ever. It's staffed by the greenest automotive techs I've ever seen.

Dougie tripling down on not knowing what a fourplex is this morning. The reporter explicitly asked him "how do you feel about two story buildings with four units, also called a Fourplex?" and he replied "BONNIE CROMBIE WANTS TO FORCE YOU TO SELL YOUR HOUSE SO THEY CAN BUILD A FOUR STOREY SKYSCRAPER"

I have to imagine the rate of return for SFH suburb builders (aka wedding guests) is way more than fourplexes. Big chunks of land with oversized houses that some realtor can flip for low-mid seven figgies

At Canadian Tire you can never find a helpful employee but someone will come up to you trying to sell you a credit card every 3 minutes.

DaysBefore posted:Oh I see those Ontario cops that shot a baby to death got off scot free. That's cool gonna be honest, the released video/audio (I just read the transcripts cbc had up) makes it seem like an honest unfortunate death. father had a gun he was waving around and threatening people with, cops tried to stop his car with a spike strip, father ran over a cop, other cops fired at the guy with a gun who had just tried to kill one of them. after the father was stopped, it turned out he’d had the kid on his lap in the car and the kid got hit with a bullet from the cops shooting the father. I know I know Acab and all that but this was cops shooting back to protect themselves against a guy with two deadly weapons he was using (gun and car). not much else that could be done, and it’s the father who decided to take a baby hostage and use it as body armor.

OPP Const. Nathan Vanderheyden, among the first to respond, spots the truck in North Bobcaygeon, heading west on a rural, two-lane highway called Pigeon Lake Road. Ok so the first cop on the scene thinks maybe tailing the guy at a distance is wise and even considers terminating it (the chase, not the child, ideally), while the others go set up a Need For Speed roadblock with spike strips. Cool, cool.
