To continue our 'hash in Yellowknife' discussion . . . The reason for the limited SKUs boils down to listing costs. The provincial cannabis boards charge producers a listing fee for each product. This fee can be quite hefty in the populous provinces so this really limits distribution and producers pick and choose their markets. I suspect the provinces can send back unsold inventory in many cases as well - although stores would not have this option.

I quickly found this entry under Canada Post.

Note the key words, including 'within Canada' a 'legal adult' 'odor proof' 'tamper proof' and no markings to indicate there's goodies inside.
Piece of cake... I think.
edit: It might also specify that the intended recipient be Canadian, but I can say 'Eh?" with the best of them.

This one caught my eye...
As did this one, though while talking about their care of the plants and early processes with glands, there's really not much said about the process of making this particular hash.
Tempted to say one of each if a friend agrees to the actions involved but need to find out soon. And not too sure about the efficiency of Canada Post these days. The person I'm thinking of helping me, if they so agree, used to work for Canada Post decades ago, and back in those days, a cross-country race between camels, tortoises, and Canada Post would've probably been a wager I might've abstained from.

Around 4 a.m. on Friday, February 21, the home of the CEO of an Oregon workers’ compensation insurance company was shot multiple times, according to a police report, with no injuries and the house sustaining “minor damage.”
The Oregonian/OregonLive reported on an internal email from SAIF CEO and President Chip Terhune confirming the shooting at his home in Lake Oswego. “At around 4 a.m., I heard what I thought were rocks thrown at my house, but discovered they were gunshots,” he reportedly wrote in the email. “An investigation is underway, and we don’t know if this was specifically targeted to me.”
Police provided Drop Site News with an image of the suspect, who is still at large. “The image below is believed to be the suspect, seen wearing all dark clothes with a possible hoodie or ski mask, and carrying a light-colored object in his hand,” the police said in a statement.
The shooting comes weeks after United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed in Manhattan. It is unclear whether this incident is a copycat. SAIF did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but told local news it was aware of the incident.
SAIF is a state-chartered not-for-profit and the largest workers’ compensation agency in Oregon. Terhune has been CEO of SAIF since 2021, when his base salary was $500,000. While his exact salary is not reported, he has he regularly received raises and “incentive payments” of 35-40%, according to SAIF’s annual reports. In 2024, according to calculations from the 2021 base salary, Terhune’s salary was around $562,323 and his bonus amounted to something like $216,000.

According to SAIF’s website, Terhune previously worked for Medicision, a healthcare technology company, and was chief of staff for former Oregon governor Ted Kulongoski, a Democrat.
KGW8, a local news station in Oregon, reported Monday that SAIF received threatening emails from the purported gunman ahead of the shooting.
Correction: Due to an editing error, this post initially stated Luigi Mangione killed the United Healthcare CEO. Mangione pleaded not guilty.

Looks like it might be becoming a dangerous time to be a robber-baron, a dictator, or a dishonest thieving corporatist. Just sayin'.

what dirty SOB would send a good dog on a one-way trip like that? they could have used a chihuahua or a poodle at the very least...
I can think of a -bunch- of humans who'd have been far more worthy. Then. Now. No to little difference.
a lot of talking about a manned (one way) expedition to Mars. it will all be computer controlled, no qualified pilots etc. i got names for a list...
Had my boiler guy out yesterday finally, after nearly (almost right at) 2 years. I try (and need) to do this every 12-14 month at the most.
Two years ago, when he was out, I didn't get a bill from him, and tried twice, telling him I hadn't received a bill. The second time I'd asked, he had said he'd have his wife get an invoice to me. Never came. I picked up on the hint. This was gratis, for whatever reason.
So yesterday, as he worked and I folded my oldest son's 30+ lbs. of woolen goods he'd brought me to wash for him, my boiler guy cleaning an inordinate amount of shit from the boiler and nearby area due to the longer-than-usual time since last completed, and we talked about kids and trying to teach them about life, etc., we had a good visit.
He refused any food or beverages... or anything else.
I helped him carry his tools, etc., out to the front porch from the basement when he was done, and when it seemed he was going to depart, I invited him back in to get on our wi-fi and produce a bill for me and receive payment, at which time he said, "You might've noticed this is the second or third time I've been out here that I'm not charging you." (It was the second, I believe). "I don't take money from my customers who are in or having trouble. You've got medical bills and other things happening. When you're one foot in the grave, call me and tell me which gun you're giving me. We'll be square."
He'd shown and expressed an interest in my wife's custom-built .454 Casull I'd built for her. But I told him that was actually my wife's gun, unlike others here that are mine, but bought by my wife for various reasons. (*even though that .454 hurts MY hand to shoot it with hot bear loads; it's a serious, semi-compact revolver, as such handguns go).
He quickly responded that whatever gun I think he ought to have when I'm headed for the casket, he'll take that gun.
So, I engaged my wife in discussion about which firearm to give my boiler guy, having an older son who is in line to receive some/many things, and wanting my wife to be well-equipped after my departure, but also wanting my boiler guy to get what he deserves after his generosity. Have some ideas now, too.
This is what decent humans and nearly a half-century in a State and 28 years in this house and geographic area and treating folks right in your sphere of existence can bring to you, and I was and am humbled a bit.
