Yes.
Joy's was my primary store for like 6 years. The older Korean couple who own it are lovely people.
God, this tax cut just keeps getting dumber and dumber. I don't know how people who supported high sugar beverage taxes, etc. could possibly justify this other than pandering to the North American anti-tax mentality. The original CBC article's example of a "win" under this tax cut was a man who paid about $6.50 of PST on about $300 of groceries. What a waste of everyone's time and money.
Put the PST back up the 1% the PC cut off and stop begging for federal funds.
Is Joy’s that convenience store on River Ave? There’s also Quick-e Mart down the block, another convenience store which is also probably not going to benefit from this change.
Yep, that's the one.
Damn we have 4 Winnipeggers on various federated apps, that's more than I thought there would be.
Yeah man, there’s at least, like, 6 or 7 of us lol. I’ve been trying to get this and the Manitoba community more active for a bit, but so far Ive had more success on the Manitoba community (see the difference in activity levels between this and this post to see what I mean). I’m happy to go wherever the action is though. I think there might be Rexit soon over the Reddit age verification thing so nows a good time to be tryna grow the communities
I wouldn't complain about more activity. Sadly I'm exclusively a commentor, I essentially never post anything. I'll sub here and I think I'm already subbed to the manitoba one.
