Thought a thread with good news would be a good idea.

In December, Associate Minister for the Environment, Eugenie Sage, confirmed the plastic bag phase out for retailers.

From July 1, 2019, retailers will be prohibited from selling or giving away single-use plastic shopping bags. As of 2018, the nation uses approximately 1.6 billion single-use plastic bags each year.

As I posted in the other thread about this... The nerve of the lady to consider a lawsuit against gorilla glue is ridiculous.

Even the company behind Gorilla Glue tried to help out, this should be considered a public lesson, that Gorilla Glue is not for hair, that's how well the stuff works.

I guess she isn't going to sue because she's donating the gofundme money

Manitoba's winter road system finally opens for season about a month late

Loved the above seasonal temps but everything comes at a cost. They'll be racing to get everything up before the melt.

"According to the Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC), the winning ticket for the May 12 Lotto 6/49 jackpot was sold somewhere in Manitoba, outside of Winnipeg."

I don't know why this is in the good news thread... I live and buy all my lotto tickets in Winnipeg...

some border collies can be a handful , but are great dogs if you train them properly. 

have fun... ( have two border collies..... they are a lot of fun)

Belated Happy International Dog Day.

Mine is a Lhasa-Tzu (Lhasa Apso x Shih Tzu). He’s good with hoomans 👍 but afraid of other dogs. ☹️

We weren’t able to socialize him when he was young because of the lockout during the pandemic. 🤦‍♂️
