Life in Edmonton, Part 2

I get overstimulated in the grocery stores here. I spend .25 cents and go get a buggy. Then I enter into my grocery store knowing exactly what I need: flax seed bread, oh so faithfully. Then I scour the store in search of the essentials, and that takes me the entire store, in about 15-30 minutes. My boyfriend gets annoyed at my grocery antics, but I can't seem to stop it!lol I simply must get the essencials, and then browse around. We usually go at night or during the day when there's a nice, lower population. I love all the stuff in another grocery store, Superstore. In the mornings? Great! There is SO MUCH STUFF in that bloody store. Overwhelming! Look! The lowest price in town! I don't know if I'm convinced of their lowest prices. Hey, you can get a tv (made in a 2nd world labor warehouse!) for $50. China? Wow, that's all shipping! Some are getting rich buying in bulk, that's all. Currently, China is booming. It's still a rather oppressive communist gov't, what, with the whole Falun Gong religion. Lots of business, but when it comes to well-being, the gov't fucks it up a bit. I wish for the Chinese people protesting outside of Parliament Hill, asking the Canadian gov't to put pressure on the Chinese gov't regarding Human Rights. Stockwell Day spoke to the media May 2003, at a Falong Gong protest in front of Parliament. He promoted their religion as we all honor as Canadians, freedom of religion. He spoke eloquently regarding evangelical worship, and honored the protesters. I'll always remember that day in Ottawa!
