They’re still mad at the transition to electric curling brooms. Gotta move with the times, fellas...

[Tijeras_Slim]

Holy crap! There is such a thing, and they want $1500 for it.

[higgmeister]

Thank you for that.

[Noumenon]

This means war! That’s after I’m done watching paint dry in the kitchen.

[Dr. Sivana]

My wife lived in the hamlet of Claremont, Alberta when we married. All the place had was an old grain elevator, a convenience store/post office, and a curling rink.

[Hieronymus]

Surely there was a regular outdoor hockey rink.

[Larry Lucido]

This should be in the Bee.

Oh, it IS in the Bee?

This should be in a mainstream news feed.

[JudyinCanada]

Lol I post The Bee articles frequently. Gotta love The Bee.

[Noumenon]

I’ll never drink Molson again!!!

Oh, the hugh manatee!

[Dr. Sivana]

I onlly went there in the late spring (May, June). I didn’t see a hockey rink. A pond probably sufficed for hockey and skating.

[Kudsman]

At publishing time, the Canadian economists had also warned America that Trump's tariffs would also affect the price of dry, tasteless doughnuts from Tim Hortons.

Horror show.

[Hieronymus]

American Tim’s stuff (even in New York) is greatly inferior to the Canadian Tim’s stuff. Although after being disappointed two or three times, I stopped bothering with the southern Tim’s.

[metmom]

Tim Horton’s used to have great donuts.

Haven’t had one in years.

All the years purchasing stuff, I can’t recall a single item purchased that was ‘made in canada’.

All the place had was an old grain elevator,
a convenience store/post office, and a curling rink.

What? No Walmart?

A real backwater from nowhere.

[Dr. Sivana]

Grande Prairie is nearby. A 20 minute drive gets you to Walmart. It is a backwater, nonetheless, unless it boomed from oil sales. I just looked. The population boomed from 1,000 to 5,000. There might be more there, now.
