Wars, genocide, people displaces, weaponized disinformation, cost of living, the housing crisis, climate change. All small potatoes to a conservative, who is taking a stand on,checks notes, so called “woke” coffee lids.
Conservatives ruin literally everything. I defy a conservative to tell me what they have contributed to the betterment of society.
Well we did have the trucker convoy here. A great many people who live in small towns or the northern parts of the country hate Trudeau. I am not a fan either but that’s because I think he should be much more left and do a lot more for us,rather than being a craven centrist. But all Liberals (that’s capital L Liberal) are. But conservatives here HATE him on a personal level and drive around with Fuck Trudeau flags on their obnoxious trucks.
We like our socialized medicine and services here, even conservatives, but that doesn’t make them any less obnoxious.

I switched to the locally owned Polish grocery store and the international grocery store. Way more interesting food and better deals. Best idea ever.
I do have to go into the local Loblaws because my pharmacy is in there (it’s steps away from my home and switching pharmacy is so difficult when you’re on controlled substances, and at least the pharmacy is independently owned), and saw some guy loading up his backpack with stuff the other day and laughed.
I switched to Longo’s which are locally owned and actually I save money. I also started going to the local international grocery which is quite large for several things. At least I’m supporting local.
Edit: didn’t know Longo’s is now owned by Sobeys, so it’s time for the local Polish grocery store too.
I’ll have to Iook into shoplifting tips then. I’m a simple woman, I’d be happy if I could top up my teabag stash, some bread yeast and flour, some nice morning granola, and a good sized bottle of olive oil and roasted red peppers.
I go to the local international grocery store a lot, it’s actually spectacular, and there’s also the Polish grocery chain in my city which is quite good.
My SO worked at one for years. He could not care less. Sometimes when it was obvious someone was returning a case of formula they had just stolen (like it was January and the case was not cold from being in a car outdoors) they would roll their eyes, but they’d still do it. What can you do?
There was this hilarious cashier once at a store I used to go to, who had some movement disorder that made her act like the Chicken Lady from Kids In The Hall. As a result she couldn’t be bothered to memorize produce codes for scanning, and if she didn’t know what something was, she would just toss it in your bag without ringing it up. I got a lot of free lychees that way.
