2400 appliances

April 13th, 2008 No Comments

For once I commend Hydro Quebéc and it’s initiative on their Recyc-Frigo program. With over 2400 pickups to date they are embarking on a path that must be traveled. Ideally, appliance manufacturers would be held responsible for the end of life recycling of their product, but until our Houses of Parliament take a […]

another organic milk contender

April 12th, 2008 4 Comments

This time a local producer steps into the ring. The competitors being Liberté and Loblaws brand PC Organics Milk.
Lamothe est Freres milk, squeezing the cow’s teet since 1913. Raises the bar, on Price!
Charging 5.19$ (at Metro) for a 2L jug of 2%, Biolait really puts the squeeze on consumers trying to select […]

Question 7
Do you believe that large gatherings at the top of the mountain should be:
-Banned
-Structured
Hmm no other option there, but still a relevant exercise for you to undertake. Please, fill out the survey. Should take about about 5 minutes.

snuffed, just like that

April 8th, 2008 No Comments

I don’t think they’ll let this PR nightmare continue past San Fran.  Although the homeland media apparently has been spinning it as a western failure of security.   Pity the poor saps that signed up ages ago to run with the torch to fulfill a dream only to have it whisked away mid step.  But pity […]

bureau en garbage

April 3rd, 2008 No Comments

I forget the last reason I posted about Bureau en Gros (yes, too lazy to scan the archives) but this one needed to be raised.  Making a few copies of work related receipts at the NDG store on Sherbrooke when I screw one up.  Look for the recycling box and find only what looks to […]

publisac nuisance

April 2nd, 2008 4 Comments

They used to have an excuse for wrongfully giving me the non-desired publisac. The happy delivery would be tossed from the street onto my front porch.
Now however for the past two weeks they’ve placed said ’sac of satan’ right onto my mailbox.

Maybe I should make a bigger sign with more english on it?? […]
