And exactly, everyone has the personal freedom to decide how they're going to honour and respect Remembrance Day, even if the (mostly American) stores don't shut down from the last Friday in October to November 11.

They also don't ONLY stock Hallowe'en and Christmas...

Yes, stores do care more about money than about an event that is inherently non-monetary - I don't know for sure, but I imagine there is Canada Day stuff for sale in Newfoundland.

Do stores not stock those items regularly?

I don't think there's a big market for Remembrance Day decorations, so it's either Christmas or empty shelves for 2 weeks

I thought I was being clever by dressing up as a city-branch employee, and wore a blue shirt.

My manager: "😬😬 I get what you're going for here, but, I mean, a customer's not going to get it, right? It's not really sending the message you want."

I know you can get a fucktonne more through the secondary market, because fuck Doug Ford, I get it, I'm not saying not to get your money.

But if you're in a pinch, you want an easy transaction, and you want to kind of feel good about yourself, I'm your man.

Don't the Jays hold the tiebreaker over Boston and Detroit? Or is that only for the division? Does it default to intra-division record for Wild Card (which I guess they lose)?

Looking forward to it, I didn't actually see anyone saying they didn't need help, but I got on the clinch train pretty late this morning ;)

Exactly, and the NFL told the Packers to do it, so they won out of spite ;)

Going to post one where I park in Vaughan and watch their heads crack open like overripe watermelons.
