Their meat is priced _per package_ now, not per kilogram.
The photo above shows a 649 g tray (left) and a 733 g tray (right), both for $15.
So, if you're not careful, you're paying over 10% extra for chicken thighs!
This packaging change is hiding price inflation & gouging.

Douglas Adams was brilliant
One of my favorite Douglas Adams quotes:
“All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others.”
More timely today than ever, don't you think? 💙

always liked this movie, but was unaware of these details. Time for a remake?
Did you know: from Canadian History Ehx: The Great Escape movie pretty much removed all Canadian involvement (and British involvement) in what actually happened in World War II. #Canada
It very much exaggerates how involved the Americans actually were.
Must watch.

Dan Levy openly says that Schitt's Creek would not have survived anywhere except the CBC because it was weird and took a season or so to find its feet... Just for reference if you wanna know the ROI on this approach to supporting creative things.
Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

@markusoff.bsky.social On The National this evening, why is the focus entirely on PM @mark-carney.bsky.social offhand "who cares" comment, rather than on the PM's very considerable achievements on his recent trip to UAE and the G20? Such a disservice to Canadians when the CBC falls into this trap.

If younger Canadians need help climbing the housing ladder, what do older Canadians need?
A safe, supported way to climb down it.
That is the missing piece in our affordability debate.

Tom Mulcair on Carney's 'who cares': "I found it wonderfully refreshing and I found it the exemplar of 'elbows up.' It’s like, ‘I’m not going to worry about that blubbering fourth grader.’ ... I absolutely loved that authentic moment from our Prime Minister."

I agree. If we get close to a trade deal, Canada should not agree to any deal until after the Supreme Court rules on tariffs.

This world carries darkness in abundance, shadows that stretch long and cold. Joy is the medicine that mends what breaks, the balm that soothes what aches, the light that refuses to be extinguished. Seek joy in each dawn that breaks—let it be your daily practice, your ritual.

not only a great parliamentarian, but a British Columbian who knows what she's talking about. Elizabeth May would never wear flip flops to hike on the north shore. #tankerban #HaidaGwaii
The only MP in Canada who voted to prevent an #election for the Liberal government.
Next… education on #Canadian #tankerban on the West Coast and the reasons for this ban. This is especially for the “Andrew Scheers” of the world.
