In my province, there are more urgent needs for those health care dollars. Recently a woman died in Emergency while waiting to be seen. Nursing shortage.

An attempt to censor Canadian libraries:
Quote:
The Notice poses as a legal document, citing excerpts from the Criminal Code of Canada and accusing the recipient of contravening the law. It demands the removal of all the books found at a link on Action4Canada’s website, plus any other books written by the authors on the list. Finally, the Notice alludes to Freedom of Information (FOI), demanding the library surrender any written communications or records associated with the selection and purchasing of those titles.

Jordon Peterson roasted after trying to lecture the Pope about how Christianity works.

Quote:
Like most conservatives nowadays, Peterson has a real problem--nay, a religious objection--to the notion that Christians have a responsibility to help the marginalized and poor. You know, like Jesus Christ literally told them to in the literal Bible full of his literal teachings?

So when Pope Francis recently tweeted a directive to Christians everywhere to help the less fortunate, Peterson had plenty to say, none of it remotely sensical or for that matter Biblical.

Funny story

Quote:
In his ruling, Quebec court Judge Dennis Galiatsatos wrote that not only was Neall Epstein not guilty, the fact that he was arrested and prosecuted at all was a bewildering injustice.

Galiatsatos wrote in acquitting Epstein that he wished he could literally — not just figuratively — throw the case out of court.

Apparently Loyalty Ventures Inc., which operates Canada’s Air Miles Reward Program, is preparing to file for bankruptcy protection in the coming days:

https://news.bloomberglaw.com/bankru...kruptcy-filing

Someone on another board was on the Air Miles website a few minutes ago - “We are experiencing higher than average call volume.” I haven’t used my card since Sobey’s stopped accepting it a few months ago. I think I still have a few points left on it though.

Airmiles has been on the wane for a long time. I only really use it at metro and i don't shop there too often as they are super expensive. I really won't miss them.

I posted the news elsewhere and was surprised how many people are now scrambling to use up their points while they still can. One person had 40,000 points. I haven’t collected any points since Sobey’s/Safeway stopped accepting the card several months ago.
