I’m writing to ask why you stopped sending email coupons. One of the main reasons I signed up for your advertising emails was to get coupons and recipe ideas, so I’m really surprised to see coupons now only available in-store or on paper flyers. Considering Bulk Barn’s emphasis on sustainability, it feels a bit contradictory to push paper coupons and flyers. Honestly, my paper flyers usually go straight into the recycling. I see a lot of my neighbors do the same. Digital coupons felt way more convenient (and planet-friendly!) I’d love to see them come back. And if they were pulled just because too many people were using them...why not just adjust the discount instead of scrapping them altogether? They still make way more sense than paper ones. I’ve currently got five expired Bulk Barn coupons stuck to my fridge, so... yeah. Also, you don’t include recipes in your emails anymore. There was a time you sent tons, which was awesome, but now, nothing. If you are only posting them on your website now, could you include a quick link when something new goes up? Even better...ask people to send in their own seasonal recipes (with photos!) and feature a few. I understand that adding that to the website requires someone to do the adding, but adding it to an email should be easier. 3 to 6 recipes a year doesn’t seem like it’d be too much, and it’d definitely be appreciated. If email coupons and recipes are officially gone, could you please update the promo graphic on your site that advertises them? Feels kinda misleading if they’re no longer part of the sign up. I appreciate your time and consideration. Thank you!
Good Afternoon, I’m writing as a concerned resident of Hamilton about the proposed changes to Ontario’s Endangered Species Act and the new Species Conservation Act, 2025. The government is pushing these changes as a way to “speed up” development, but honestly, it feels like a blatant attempt to gut environmental protections under the guise of efficiency, just like what we saw with the Greenbelt scandal. We all watched the Ford government get caught handing over protected land to developers behind closed doors. Now, we’re supposed to believe these sweeping changes to species protections are about balance? Come on. This bill isn’t about balance, it’s about power. It gives Ford’s cabinet and their developer buddies the freedom to bulldoze through what’s left of our protected spaces. Relax the rules a little, and they’ll move the line even further in a year or two. This isn't "streamlining"...it's rigging the system. Ontario’s motto is "Ut incepit fidelis sic permanet" ("Loyal she began, loyal she remains"). That loyalty should extend to the land, the wildlife, and the ecosystems that make this province home. Endangered species can’t speak for themselves, but they’re a part of what makes Ontario worth fighting for, and they deserve more than being sacrificed for short-term profits. Yes, we need housing. But what’s the point if we’re paving over everything that matters? We can absolutely have both. If the Ford government focused on fixing zoning, setbacks, stairwell rules, and parking minimums instead of selling off natural heritage, we wouldn’t even be here. What good is a house if you can’t drink the water or breathe the air? And let’s be clear...the reason things take two years isn’t because of protections for wildlife. It’s because the agencies doing the reviews are underfunded and stuck in bureaucratic bottlenecks. Fix that. Don’t go tearing up critical habitat or building more houses on flood-prone wetlands just to say you're getting things done. I’m asking y…
“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore. They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?” ― A.R. Moxon"

REAL ESTATE INVESTORS ARE SCUM: When yuppie investors and developers describe their plans for our neighborhoods, they use fancy words like 'revitalization" and "rebirth", or talk about "building more inclusive communities." But at the end of the day, they care about one thing - making money. These economic parasites have set their sights on Barton Street East because they see it as a place where they can take advantage of cheap rent to make a lot of money. It's that simple. The fact that they will then need to kick poor people out of their way in order to profit off their investments doesn't bother them. It's what they do. Because they are scum.
Hand is the story of a time when society transitioned to living and working in the virtual space. In this society people housed their bodies in inexpensive pods hooked up to food cannisters. They discarded their houses and furniture as they were no longer needed. They evolved past their physical bodies and lived digitally as the person they wanted to be. Overseeing all of this is a singularity AI named Milkdrop, first seen in the Singularity of Kumiko, though only now revealed to be an AI. - Artist, Bryn Oh. Photos are of a subway entrance, A moth girl named "Flutter", an industrial stairway, and penguins on platforms overlooking another figure with a broken mannequin.

This is only the plea from Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, that is transcribed. The entire sermon is worthy of a listen. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy5oJCz5KbA) What the so-called “radical left, fervent Trump opponent” said ...an utterance deemed so “nasty” and “ungracious” which was, in his estimation, an offense deserving of an apology: “Let me make one final plea Mr. President. Millions have put their trust in you and as you told the nation yesterday you have felt the providential hand of a loving God. In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives. The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings; who labor in poultry farms and meat packing plants; who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals. They may not be citizens or have the proper documentation. But the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors. They are faithful members of our churches and mosques, synagogues, gurudwaras and temples. I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away. And that you help those who are fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands to find compassion and welcome here. Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger, for we were all once strangers in this land. May God grant us the strength and courage to honor the dignity of every human being, to speak the truth to one another in love and walk humbly with each other and our God for the good of all people. Good of all people in this nation and the world. Amen”
