The state tried the other thing — for years and years — and it didn't work. So they created the Liquor Control Board of Ontario.

I'll wager that what's happening now will exasperate the broader alcohol problem in the province.

Kia is holding imported cars on locked compounds, rather than sell or deliver them. in c/canada

Was strongly considering a Kia or Hyundai for my next vehicle (I'm a current Hyundai owner), but if this is what it looks like, it's more than sufficient for me to look elsewhere.

Is it just my circle, or has it been a challenge getting into the Christmas/holiday spirit the last couple of years? in c/[email protected]

[–] shamrt 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I lost my sister suddenly 2 days before Christmas in 2008. The joy came back — after a fair amount of therapy and contemplation — and over time, life grew around the gaping hole.

A couple of quotes that I keep near me:

Yet, in a bizarre, backwards way, death is the light by which the shadow of all of life’s meaning is measured. Without death, everything would feel inconsequential, all experience arbitrary, all metrics and values suddenly zero.

Mark Manson

When you dull pain and hide it from yourself, you dull your joys as well.

Robin Hobb, Fool's Fate (Tawny Man #3)

All the best for this holiday season, and all the ones that follow.
