Highlights from this day
  • van_isle_vial — unrelated but i was wrong in here about a province covering it, i had read about a pilot programme and assumed it was policy, still working it out 21:52
  • van_isle_vial — the border question comes up a lot and nobody here will tell you what to declare. that gets stopped quickly 22:06
  • yyz_vial — update on the earlier thing does the postal service or the courier handle winter better 22:45
  • van_isle_vial — the winter risk in canada is freezing rather than cooking, and this channel took a while to internalise that, someone check my working 23:00
