You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me. At this point it’s like they purposely shut multiple lines down that can be used as alternates for each other at the same time to make it as inconvenient as possible

> better than most places in Canada

As a Canadian, I respectfully disagree.

Even the poutine at Costco in Canada is better than Saus's in my humble opinion. Either location.

But since you clearly have sampled your poutine, I may have to go today to do some further research.

I watched it, that was heart wrenching. The terrible loss of the kids, a woman who was clearly out of her mind and obviously remorseful, which is what sticks with you. So much lip service is paid to mental health, so little is actually put in to treating it. Tragedies like these can be if at least not prevented then mitigated.

2nd that grocery shopping is easy in that area. Buy reusable bags, only one person, one bag should be fine. At least it is for me when I go to the grocery store. Also, there are multiple grocery delivery services Instacart, Amazon, Imperfect Foods, etc.

Have lived in Boston for 20 years without a car without issue.

I read it. I know how long it takes. It's not that much of a read. I'm not saying it should be a TikTok grab your attention in 6 seconds and sell you a product format. But there is a better way to present the data without it being repetitive and artificially long.

Condensing something to make it easier to parse doesn't make the reader stupid, inattentive or make the text ineffective.

Rather than saying X paid Y for Z to happen like for line, tabulate it. Im not suggesting this to "pander" to the quick media consumption we have today but to make it more readable. The rest of the info (that isn't grant approvals) can go written as is and not be missed by people who skim read. (And I'd wager this info can be more important than grant approvals because it involves actual debated policy)
