I know nothing about this store. Google Street View shows it as a former Price Chopper and I imagine it was an IGA at some point. I do, however, like the design of the building with the curved metal siding and large glass windows. I wish newer grocery stores still had windows that let in light like this.

"Star," the charger of Lieut.- Colonel R. C. Andros, D.S.O., Commanding 1st C.M.R.'s, was a pure Western animal, with quite a lot of blue blood running in his veins. He accompanied the regiment to France early in the war, and remained with that unit until after the entry into Mons on Nov. 11, 1918. He died the following month after long and faithful service.
In the early part of "Star's" life he was considered an "outlaw," but was taken in hand by his master, who was a remarkable horseman, and by great kindness and patience became amenable to reason; in fact, quite a pet with the regiment, so much so that the Colonel would turn him loose to graze while on the line of march, when, after satisfying his hunger, he would run along and take his place again in the ranks, following the bass drummer.
I remember both "Star" and his master well; they both exhibited that western spirit, especially the Colonel. When an officer or man neglected an animal he had little respect for rank; when he found those who could not speak for themselves wanting or being abused, he would take such action as would be remembered for all future occasions. He was a lover of all animals and a friend to those who realised that their dumb charges depended on them in regard to their wants and care. He preferred that a man should feed and water his horse before looking after his own requirements - a wonderful trait and an example for all to profit by.

PCs pledge to scrap NDP’s job-killing First Contract Arbitration
Baillie: time to create jobs, not chase them away
September 25, 2013
For immediate release
HALIFAX, NS – A Progressive Conservative government will scrap the NDP’s job-killing First Contract Arbitration law. The Liberals will not.
Progressive Conservative leader Jamie Baillie renewed his commitment to scrap the NDP’s unfair labour legislation outside Egg Films, a Halifax film production company.
First Contract Arbitration is an anti-employer law passed by the NDP that lets an arbitrator appointed by the government impose a collective agreement on a newly unionized employer, even if the company cannot afford it. The legislation has been called “anti-business” and “totally unnecessary.”
“A PC government is focused on helping small business create jobs. This law chases employers away by giving a third party the power to tell them how to run their business,” Baillie said.
The McNeil Liberals won’t repeal the one-sided labour law. The Liberals also won’t lower taxes or freeze power rates to help small businesses get ahead.
Last week, the Nova Scotia Labour Board used this law to impose an expensive first contract on Egg Films. The small, independent film company in Halifax was recently unionized by film and theatre union IATSE, Local 849. The company was ordered to pay its freelance crew wages that even exceeded wage rates in Toronto for similar work.
“This law makes it difficult for us to operate in Nova Scotia,” said Mike Hachey, co-owner of Egg Films. “It allows a union to present a wage proposal that it knows the employer can't afford or accept so that they can ask for an agreement to be imposed. That's what happened to us.”
Baillie noted that Egg employs creative, highly skilled people who should be encouraged to stay to build a life in our province, not driven away.
During review of first contract at the Legislature’s Law Amendments Committee, major employers such as Michelin, Sobeys and Clearwater joined in opposition to the law, arguing it created an economic disincentive to invest in the province.
A PC government will help small businesses prosper and create jobs by creating a tax-free zone for small businesses and freezing power rates.

After a trip back from the local bulk store I picked up a few goodies, spicy plantain chips and cassava root chips to snack on while reading the supermarket fall issue magazines.
Envole-toi bien loin de ces miasmes morbides;
Va te purifier dans l'air supérieur,
Et bois, comme une pure et divine liqueur,
Le feu clair qui remplit les espaces limpides.

The Shoppers Drug Mart at Preston Crossing in Saskatoon closed as of September 7, 2012. Here's the store as of September 8, 2012. If you have a parcel/letter to pick up from Canada Post, you can now pick up your parcels/letters at the customer service counter at Sobeys. The mailbox in front of the store at Shoppers Drug Mart appears to have been relocated to the Sobeys store, which makes me wonder if the Sobeys store will include a post office. It's not unusual to see that, as other grocery stores, including Co-op, have post offices. In fact, some Sobeys stores in Regina have post offices as well. I remember when this store opened in 2002. At the time, there were free donuts and 2-litre bottles of Coca-Cola and Pepsi products were on sale at $0.49. The store was part of Phase I of the Preston Crossing development.
Premier Jason Kenney and Minister of Labour and Immigration Jason Copping discussed, during a news teleconference from Belmont Sobeys in northeast Edmonton on Wednesday, February 10, 2021, Alberta’s plan to recognize hundreds of thousands of critical workers who continue to support and provide services to Albertans during this pandemic.
The Critical Worker Benefit is a joint federal-provincial program that will see $465 million go to approximately 380,000 Alberta public and private sector workers as $1,200 cash payments.
“These workers have placed themselves at the front line of this pandemic in order to serve their fellow citizens during a crisis. Alberta’s government is recognizing their good work. We trust this support will help these workers continue to protect lives and livelihoods as we keep fighting this pandemic together.” said Premier Kenney.
The Critical Worker Benefit will be available to workers in the health-care, social services, education and private sectors who deliver critical services to Albertans or support food and medical supply chains.
“I want to thank all the hard-working staff who have gone above and beyond their regular call of duty to support their fellow Albertans throughout this pandemic. This Critical Worker Benefit will go right into the pockets of hard-working Albertans on the front line who have made sacrifices in their own lives for the greater good and well-being of others.” said Minister Copping.

I carried the blanket, chairs and assorted other stuff to the car while Phil and Wade helped to escort some of the less sprightly seniors from the amphitheater to the information tent where they would be picked up by the golf cart shuttle service to take them to the parking lot.
While waiting for them I sat in the backseat and listened to the rain that was flying sideways due to the crazy winds outside. Vehicles came and went and I took pictures of their lights in the windshield. I think I frightened a few people in nearby vehicles when the LCD screen of my camera would momentarily light up my face. I was amused by this, although I'm sure the people I scared were not. They either thought I was some sort of weirdo or they pitied the poor girl all alone in the backseat.
