[78-L] Happy (ho hum) Canada Day

[David Lennick]

Just come up here some time when Italy or Portugal has won the World Cup.

I think people are eating their garbage now..there's also a 5-cent charge for 
every plastic bag at groceries, drugstores and other retailers. Fun to see 
people "doing without" and carrying roasts, milk and other groceries out to 
their cars without any kind of container. They're all supposed to be using 
99-cent bags that you buy and reuse..which of course smell from whatever you 
last had in them and are going to start growing mold and fungus after the first 
month..

You'd never know the old place now. (Neither would I, I live in Pickering, just 
east of Trawna.)
