My 87 year old mother called me to tell me she had an off phone call today from
Save-On-Foods pharmacy. They told her they were offering a $300 vaxx to her age group for FREE. WOOHOO free stuff. I am glad she called me because firstly, she had no idea what they would be vaccinating her for (she is currently sick with some sort of respiratory illness) and secondly wasn’t sure if she already had a shot. I called Save On to see what they were offering (haven’t heard back yet) so I checked online and it’s the RSV shot, something she doesn’t need because she has probably had it and has antibodies and secondly she’s sick so NO. She says “but it’s a good deal, FREE. After all we have been through, after all the illness and deaths she was still thinking about it, unbelievable. I told her if she’s currently sick with RSV and gets a shot it could kill, her a lie I know but what the hell. you never know. She’s not getting the free shot but I’m thinking it’s going to expire soon and they have to get it into arms to have it covered by Heath Canada.

Idiots like this don’t get it. We use cash because it’s legal and none of anyone’s business what I spend my money on. Besides, how does this senator know it’s not being reported?

A Liberal-appointed senator says rising costs in Canada are pushing more people into the cash economy, warning that tax evasion is becoming a routine part of everyday transactions.
Blacklock's Reporter says Sen. Toni Varone, a former contractor from Ontario, told the Senate banking committee that what she described as a growing underground market is now influencing basic services across the country.
“Living in Canada’s largest urban centre in Toronto, it is becoming more and more prevalent that every time I go to the hairdresser they ask if I pay cash or credit,” Varone said.
“If I am paying cash, the till stays open so to speak. It’s not being reported.”
