I don’t know anyone who buys government weed. It’s not very good. Gives you jitters kind of anxious feeling. Not a fan.
I still go direct to a grower once or twice a year. My wife makes medicine. Weekends of course we smoke and abuse it sometimes. Top line BC bud is really cheap by the pound. I’m glad they legalized weed because illegal weed came down by 2/3 lol
So what I’m reading is the government is going broke because they have shitty product…? And the fact of this is the best thing government did was drop the price of good weed.
Puff on buddy that the last time government will do you a solid lol.

Its a different looking picket line than I'm used to seeing. They looked cold, huddled together seemingly looking for direction.

CP by far is the most cost overrun Corporate bureaucracy in this nation. With way over paid employee's that whine constantly like little kids without there soother. What is the point anyway when most Companies went paperless to get on board with the climate woke agenda. Some people still get physical paper bills (ie, my Dad) totally his choice as he does not do internet. But these PO clowns want paid lunch come on ffs, not alot of company's do that. Gender Dysphoria enhancements/more paid sick leave wtf. Oh and let me guess all the while taking your 4-6 weeks vacation every year. Ffs delivering flyers is an overpaid position. That postal union bs needs to go way of dodobird this is the 21st century of paperless real work/life reality's not pie in the sky asks what these fat union cats are asking. ;)

My daughter worked for CP for 15 years, you have to sort that route before you go on your 15k walks carrying 30lbs in a foot of snow. She quit some time ago before she got crippled, and now has good job that pays way better. But your right times change and CP will soon figure that out, something like the libraries that remain on the government dole. The railway workers forced back, the doc worker forced back, you got to love our dictator little patato.

There wasn’t a foot of snow everyday she worked. I bet there was more sunny days with nice weather than crappy days. My ex wife was a letter carrier, she always bitched about people that didn’t shovel the snow “for the letter carrier “ , funny thing was she would be done work early afternoon and our sidewalk was never shoveled. Most of her co workers had routes that were rated for 6 hours and they would be done in under 3 hours and go back in and do another route for someone that called in sick and essentially get paid double. Pretty sure they weren’t doing the job twice as fast, whoever quoted the route at 6 hrs was being generous with the time.

It's a public service, and public services don't make money. My brother's dad worked for Canada post for 20+ years on the island as a letter carrier (mail man), and was forced to retire due to knee problems. It's not a easy job and I would say the majority of people here wouldn't be capable of it. No not all postal employees are letter carriers, some sort mail, fill the boxes at the local place and other just work the counter. But those people are out there every day.

Just like any other job they want to be able to earn a living.

How much do they need to earn to make a living?

Just curious if I am earning a living or not
