A warning for all who are canning pickles or anything using vinegar. You cannot just grab a plastic jar of vinegar w/o checking the label. Safe pickling requires 5% acidity....we are seeing 4% acidity vinegar on the shelves. That renders anything pickled in the 4% NOT shelf stable.

If you're thinking of replying to this with any version of "I don't agree with everything Carney's doing, but" Fuck off. You're as scared as the rest of his sheep. Having qualms while nevertheless supporting his plutocratic fire sale just makes you the most thoughtful sheep in his herd.

One more thing and then I'm muting this thread because you people are annoying the hell out of me: if you're scared of the US, you more than anyone should be pushing renewables. Investing in a decentralized power grid would protect Canada far more than investing in large fossil fuel infrastructure.
