Canada Dry isn't Canadian anymore. It was bought by an American company in 2008.

I only want the Chinese cars if they prove they can adhere to our safety standards. Their "virtual testing" isn't good enough IMO. As long as they adhere to proper safety protocols, then sure. I refuse to drive a cheaper but blatantly less-safe vehicle.
-Looks around at Saskatchewan where the (smaller) rural vote is given more seats than the more populated cities-
Wut?
Oulu's averages are warmer than Saskatchewan and Manitoba generally speaking. Still not a direct comparison, but I appreciate the info anyway.
I'd be really curious to know how long and cold of a winter they are talking about.
For example: would this work in Saskatchewan or Manitoba where the snow starts falling near Halloween and isn't gone until May? With regular temperatures below -20C and severe cold snaps below -40C?
We're part of Canada too.
The word "price" isn't mentioned once in the article at all, so they obviously completely ignored that as a possibility, but I agree with you. I shop for affordable groceries first and foremost. If that means going to a local "specialty" grocer who is cheaper than the big oligopoly chains, then so be it.
Look for local craft or art shows. This can help you find local crafters that make some common items like socks, soaps, etc. Hand-knitted socks are the best.
Other than that, for more commercial things, watch labeling (as you already are), go to farmer's markets, choose local grocer cooperatives (they're more likely to carry locally produced goods), etc.
These aren't bins of glowing green ooze like in the cartoons. Most waste products are solid and are stored in heavy duty, shielded bins. Kyle Hill on YouTube created a really good video that demonstrated walking through a storage facility and literally hugging one of the bins. His rad meter was perfectly normal the whole time. He also examines other risks as well as the risks of other methods of power generation.

Here's the one where he hugs the waste casks:
I agree... But then all of the provincial premiers would whine about "muh jurisdiction!"
Look at what happened with Alberta and the recent changes to nationalized subsidies for certain common medications.
Our provincial governments are actively inhibiting the system from getting better.
Buncha Scrooges over there in Kingsville Apparently. Those massive restrictions on hours plus the requirement for a "permit" -cough-moneygrab-cough- are just ridiculous. I'd love for there to be a light show like that in my neighborhood.
My current rent: $1600 (no utilities included).
Tenant insurance: $300 (per year!).
Tenant total: $1625 per month.
Mortgage calculation: $1863 per month for a $300,000 mortgage with a 10% down payment.
Property tax: ~$300 per month.
House insurance: ~$150 per month.
Mortgage total: $2313 per month.
And that is not even including the costs of repairs on the house. In my city a $300,000 house will be in need of some major repairs.
I'd say I'm doing pretty good. I am saving that extra $700 per month myself and am in a lot better of a position than if I was paying that mortgage.
