Here's a thing to get out and do/see/enjoy (or stay home and do, too).

I've found the same with butter over the past few years. I hope this gets backed up by other sources, but if true, it sounds like high time for better regulation of this industry - if they can't make profit from selling a pound of butter for $5 (which most seem to be priced higher than that now), then something is disastrously wrong.

It destroys me that in the middle of this pandemic, a year in, our government bodies think that they need to control messaging like this to the point of breeding distrust.

I really don't want to be distrustful of Interior Health, but when people are reaching out to the media anonymously to try to shed some real light on things - 'whistleblow', if you will - it's a little distressing.

I have heard directly from a hospital worker about them having their jobs threatened if they speak publicly. That's not how things should work, and our government bodies need to be held much more accountable for being secretive. I also believe that it should be illegal to fire someone for whistleblowing or speaking to media. If the media gets multiple people complaining about exactly the same thing, they should be able to dig for answers.

What an effective and useful by-law!

Ever seen by-law in any of the shopping area parking lots? This would be an easy cash cow for them if they even tried.

I'm not sure what kind of peer pressure Sinclair figures will work - See all those other cars in the parking lot that are shut off? They're not having any peer pressure effect on those idlers who can't stand to be uncomfortable for 60 seconds.

Testing from lemmur, will have to try and share something in

About bloody time.

Howdy all!

I know we're a brand new instance, but as we're public and users are joining up, I felt that I should post this.

I know we're past Christmas already, but I hope everyone is doing as well as possible, staying safe, and having an enjoyable end of the year.

I'm very much looking forward to Lemmy developments and refinements, and lemmy.ca specifically being a fantastic and useful spot for people.

Here's hoping the bugs of 2020 take a hike in 2021 and that it's a much merrier year over all.

Peace to all!
