Wouldn’t it be easier to hire cashiers who are 18 and older and leave the child labourers stocking shelves, sewing Nike’s, making iPads, mining coal or something equally appropriate to their age level? ---

I want to reiterate that beer is only being sold at 58 grocery stores in Ontario. Not 58 stores in Toronto or 58 communities in Ontario. Just 58 stores. ---

And strangely one of the chosen stores is my preferred grocer in [Stittsville](https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Brown's+Your+Independent+Grocer/@45.2688405,-75.9301725,3a,75y,92.88h,90t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1srTp_4DgU0zCvPdhdy49VoQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x3bf6eddafb8b917e!6m1!1e1), of all places. I don’t know if I’ll ever buy beer there, but why the hell that particular store was chosen is amusing. ---

So, it’s 16 freakin’ degrees here and I’m about to take my daughter out shopping. If any of you know Ottawa, I’m going to stroll around The Market and have a couple of pints while she shops. This is glorious! ---

And the TV news showed people playing golf in Toronto and Montreal, while I looked out my window at the snow piling up and dreading my drive downtown today. I made it there and back safely, but I’d rather be playing golf. **Muffin** , and **hogarth** , if you want snow and great skiing conditions, come on out here. We’ve got plenty! ---
