They wear mostly N95, which most of us probably can't access consistently I'm surprise how many people are still wearing just a cloth mask and nothing else - they may as well spare themselves the inconvenience

We have high elevation - but lots of people are in trouble. The RM is going to call a state of emergency.

I recommend subscribing to A & W coupons - you get them in your inbox. Very good deals - eg. 2 teen combos for $14.99 Edited: 2 combos are now $14.99 - still under $20 for two people.

Can't argue with a Mozza burger & O rings - prices are higher than average - unless you have coupons.

No KFC fans here either, I see. Twonie Tuesdays were a necessity in my Uni days.

Yes, they have that Chester Fried Chicken - definitely decent stuff.

Never had Popeye's - is the chicken any good?

I don't live in the city, but I will try it out when I can. I also like A & W coupons, in spite of their misleading 'health' advertising. Love FG beer - our local store in Clandeboye carries it - always pick up a 6 pack with my scotch.

And the farmland - it's some of the best in the world Grain prices are sky high, and they will not be coming down

I actually like Macdonald's fries, and I know plenty of people that like them The burgers are hit and miss, but it is possible to have a good burger I would not order chicken (except nuggets for the kid) from Mc D or 7 - 11. KFC or Mary Brown is where it's at for chicken If you know of a place with lower prices where the burgers are not hit and miss, let me know where that is Food is going to get more expensive no matter where you go. Canola was as high as $23 a bushel - that's the cooking oil that all restaurants use

Their coffee is as good or better than places where you pay a lot more for it.

I honestly don't understand the complaints about McDonald's. It is what it is - I don't mind it once in a while.

Yes, salaries in Thompson are significantly higher than they are elsewhere - that would be where a large chunk of the funding is going My understanding is that stems from having a negotiations friendly board, who were formerly union members when they worked in the mines

I sit corrected. Thanks.

And I'll bet they told you 'you have paid your dues' when you got a job in Southern MB. I think it's very telling that the head office for Frontier SD is located in Winnipeg.

And with the exception of places like Thompson and Flin Flon, it just gets worse as you go further north I was also against Bill 64. And, I do not want to see anything of that ilk implemented, until we actually have a competent government

Ah yes, 2004. I was attending BU - got stranded in Brandon for 3 days.

In pro sports, maybe. I know there's a long list of other jobs that I could do, and many teachers/coaches are the same.

I have never taken it that way, and I don't think that's how it's usually intended.

Looking out my window at 6 AM on Wednesday morning, things were still calm. But in spite of that, we still got the call that the division was closed. Within an hour, it could have been a very dangerous situation, had the school busses started out that morning. And quite honestly, no harm was done. Kids got a couple days off and some people bought lots of milk. I found it hilarious that people felt the need to justify their milk usage...on Twitter.

I didn't shovel our back steps until a few minutes ago. Well over 2 feet of snow, maybe 3. We also had some eavestroughs come loose from snow load.

Escarpment...

I don't know. The info I'm reading shows snow today and tomorrow, with a blizzard tomorrow afternoon.

Honestly, the BS from PT is beyond stupid. I mean, geez, Winnipeg kids get a snow day once in a quarter century, let them enjoy it We've had 13 snow days in LSSD this year - I wonder what they'd do with that... And equally stupid - Sunrise told their teachers to refrain from posting stories on social media today - so they won't be thought of as lazy

Winnipeg schools are closed for two days - this has not happened in 20 + years.
