There is a yet unnamed Canadian billionaire who is in the Epstein files.

We don't have that many billionaires.

Also, walk your neighborhood/community/district commercial areas - not box plazas. You'll hopefully find the smaller shops that have survived.

I'm a broke ass mofo but I still would ratther pay an extra dollar that stays in the community vs saving 2 and having the community be at the mercy of a castle dwelling sociopath who probably killed Dave.

Remembering Dave Nichol

I am blessed with a plethora of small and medium sized grocery stores. I do 80% of my shopping at a Chinese grocery store, 10% at an indian grocer and the last 10% at a mix of whatever oligopoly location is closest.

Fuck you Weston.

I remember when T&T wasn't owned by Galen and when Longo's wasn't under Sobey's.

I am lucky where I live, I have 3 oligopoly stores within a 15 min walk. I have 3 large independent grocer in the same walk. Extend it to 30 minute walk (10 min drive) and I have another 6 or 7 other small ethnic grocers. 1 italian, 1 polish, 1 lebanese, 1 afghan, 3 indian, and a few middle eastern I haven't been to. There is even more variety if you go a little further.
