I like stinky tofu a lot. I’m Canadian. I’m excited to see my country grow. I’m new to lemmy. I prefer local communities over public ones, until I’m convinced otherwise. I’m bad at writing bios.

    As an individual I want to express my condolences to everyone in Tumbler Ridge, and may the victims rest in peace. This is a national tragedy.

    I hope the community is offered ongoing psychological care and that there is an immediate effort to mitigate physician shortages that they are already suffering.

    To feel how I felt when I read the news this morning, I can’t even begin to imagine the grief, misery, anger, sadness, and whirlwind of emotions from those directly impacted.

    There is a period of respect where politics on the matter should take a backseat, but I will say that the BC leadership and federal government should discuss what they have learned from this tragedy. I have no answers.

    Right now, I just want to express my support to anyone who may be reading this that was affected. If anyone needs somebody to talk to privately, for any reason, please know I am here if you privately message me.

    I am in support of helping Canadian businesses, especially in the current political climate. What I am not so confident in is the willingness of food suppliers to pass savings along all the way to the customer. Grocery stores have used inflation and price fixing tactics here for far too long for them to have earned my trust. Grocery stores must be seriously audited and regulated accordingly. By all means, make a profit - no brainer. But your profits now are bolstered by hurting 99% of Canadians who need food to survive.

    Try a locally operated pharmacy or another option in your area if possible. Shoppers is hit and miss in my experience (majority misses).

    Costco has a $5 prescribing fee and doesn’t require a membership for pharmacy. If you have a pharmacy close to a Costco you can try asking them to price match the Costco dispensing fee. It usually works, and then you can support a local pharmacy instead of Costco. If you like the pharmacy and have the funds in the future, you’re always free to pay the original dispensing fee as a show of support - I just mention this as an option, not suggesting anyone must.
