It seems perhaps ill-advised to have a channel 911 in the first place.

Not just blood, but offal from a fish processing plant, full of fish viruses and other pathogens that chronically plague farms, but could absolutely annihilate wild populations. There's suggestion a virulent form or virulence factor of a sea urchin virus has wrought havoc on sea star populations in BC and northwestern coastal states and this virulence factor is linked to fish farms and to, you guessed it, warming seas.

I read that snakes as a noun instead of a verb at first.

Big news story today, apparently the national grocery chains have been price fixing bread for 14 years.

Loblaws ratted out the other chains so as to get off easiest. As a way of "making good" Loblaws is going to give free $25 PC gift cards (so I assume they're good at any Loblaws-group store across the country, like NoFrills, etc.) to basically anyone who asks.

So, if you're Canadian and want $25 in free groceries, details are here: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report- ... e37392332/

Well, this is going to make the Ontario provincial election this year a lot more interesting. The latest person caught up in #MeToo-type allegations is Ontario Conservative leader Patrick Brown.

As a result of the rather creepy and detailed claims, Brown's top aides told him he should resign today. He refused, so they resigned instead.

And he's out. Guessing he took the "bedfellows" part of the old saw about politics, a little too literally.

In further drama, the Ontario tories are imploding spectacularly. The Provincial party president ALSO just resigned, now facing similar allegations.

So four months from an election which - until last week - they were easily favoured to win, the party is without a leader, without a party president, and can't agree AT ALL on how to replace either one.

On top of that, Doug Ford (you may remember his as Robbie's rather-less-charismatic older brother) trying to shove his way into any potential leadership replacement contest or vote.
