Cancer causing Glyphosate.......but just in small quantities

Image result for person choking on food
I was driving my princess to work for her day shift when she requested that I stop at Tim Horton's so she could get something to eat.  I said I don't patronize Tim's so if she wanted me to go through the Drive-Thru, I was not prepared to pay and she would have to pay herself.  How is that for a tough stance.

"What do you have against Tim Horton's, mom?"

Really?  Do you ever even look at my blog?  I'rant about Tim's regularly.  It is a horrible company.

And then, my princess went on and on about The Hobbit Law.  It has a more formal name but basically enacted in New Zealand while filming the Lord of the Rings trilogy.  The point is, said my princess, is that there are a lot of shady companies out there that we don't hear about.  If you really think Tim's is shady, mom, then, good for you and keep it up.

Approval from my baby who is now a woman.  It was amazing.  It might have felt just a little better if she hadn't been munching on a bagel and drinking their coffee, but still, amazing none the less.

Since I stopped patronizing Tim Horton's my life has dramatically changed.  I've learned how to dance, dropped 50 lbs, and have completed a half-marathon.  Ok, none of that has happened.  But, I haven't missed Tim's at all.  Their food sucks, they aren't a Canadian company, and they treat their employees badly.

And now, it has been revealed that their Tim Bits contain a chemical that is used to kill weeds.  In their Tim Bits.  The same Tim Bits that you buy to feed any child that happens to come with you to Tim Bits.  The same Tim Bits that they fired an employee for giving one for free to a toddler.  Those Tim Bits.  But, we don't have to worry. Tim's assures us that they are just small quantities.  Not enough to cause cancer.

Well, that's reassuring.  The company that lies and manipulates facts better than Donald Trump is telling us not to worry.

It has been a horrible year for Tim's.  Their reputation, their stock, their profits, all at new lows.  And the headlines keep coming.  And the lines at the drive-thru keep getting smaller.

One of my saddest days in Winnipeg

Image
I felt compelled to attend an information meeting of the Bruce Oake Recovery Centre.  Compelled because it will be, not in my neighbourhood, but in my City Ward.  Compelled after reading Bruce's story and his family's wish to make this recovery centre his legacy.  Compelled because of the opposition to this centre.  I wanted my voice to be a positive one. Since the land has already been rezoned, the BORC is going to happen and the meeting was to update the community on progress and get input on a few minor details.   I didn't realize that it would be one of the saddest days I have experienced in Winnipeg.   When I arrived, I experienced the "white people". They were people dressed in white who were there to oppose the Centre.  In order to get in to the community centre, I had to pass two "white people" who were at the door with placards in opposition.  It was intimidating.  They didn't deter anyone from entering but th...

There's Something from Jenny - Part 2

Image
I am trying to evolve as a blogger.  One of my friends told me that I needed to start adding my pictures to my blog so that people would know who they are communicating with.  So, good, bad, or ugly, I am adding my picture as much as I can.  It makes me feel vulnerable.  Not as vulnerable as I would feel if I was running for Mayor of a major Canadian city. I can't imagine how vulnerable I would feel, having every move and every word analyzed and taken out of context.  Perspective always defines your reality.  For example, I could tell you that I witnessed a murder by the Superstore last week.  That might bring up some powerful images in your mind.  Then, there would be those who know that a group of crows is called a murder.  That gives my previous statement have a whole different image in your mind.  So, when I spent an hour with Jenny Motkaluk that was my biggest impression.  She doesn't mind being vulnerable.  She just w...

Seriously? Opposition to BORC opening at old Vimy Arena Site

Image
I decided to go for a walk today.  It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon.  My quest was to understand the home owner's opposition to having the closed arena site being converted to a much needed addiction treatment facility.  I took some pictures on my phone and want to explain what I found out.  The first picture was taken while I was standing on the immense green space at the back of the old Vimy Arena.  You can see in the background what is the closest residential development.  It is a town house complex.  In order for someone who was participating in treatment at BORC to interact with someone living in the complex, they would have to walk and then cross a creek, and then get through the trees.  I would think the residents living in that complex would be more worried about the drainage pipe that leads on the creek.  I would be concerned about a wandering child being trapped in there.  The second pic...
