Thanks to Mike Myers, Americans are finding out what we mean when we say “elbows up” in reference to them.

…Wait until they find out what a Shawinigan Handshake is…. 😂

#colorectalcancer is the 3rd most prevalent cancer, & the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths, in Canada. We are fighting to change this and your dollars WILL make a difference.

I’m grocery shopping in Metro right now and being RUTHLESS with the products I’m putting in my cart. The brocoli is product of usa? Guess we’re having green beans from Guatemala this week instead

Totally agree. I can’t stand the QR code menu experience
Do QR codes disconnect us from the communal joy of dining? While having a contact-free menu option may be attractive for some, Anne Thériault argues that going digital may impact our ability to savour the moment.

For 2023, my car was the third most stolen vehicle in Canada and as a result my insurance went through the roof.

The list of the most stolen cars in Canada for 2024 was just released yesterday. My car is no longer the third most stolen car in Canada. It’s now #1.

Can’t wait for that renewal
