Alcohol !
This is not yet another post complaining about the expense of alcohol in Ontario as at this procise moment I don't care 
It's just have to to say someone and anyone (which is were you lot come in) that it's been a sh*te day at work, it's nice outside for a change so am going to leave at 5pm on the dot and have my first cold one of the day at around 5:12pm when I get home.
The good thing is a friend had a trip to Quebec last week and I have 60 cans that didn't cost me Ontario prices.
I may spark up the BBQ and get a huge lump of meat on that too
I hope your day has/is going better

I'm on my friend's deck having a large mug of tequila and Fresca and when the others arrive we'll start barbeqing the box of pork chops I won at the Serb. My van is at home.

Re: Alcohol !
Not that I'm saying I drink this but just a comparison of the same product in the UK and in Ontario.
£14 ~ $21 in Asda, UK
$33.95 in LCBO, Ontario

Re: Alcohol !
Cheap you say ! Here in NS I would have to pay $19.95 for the same bottle of wine that I buy in the US for $6.65. I just refuse to pay that much. A bottle of mediocre Yellow Tail here is $12 ! I wouldn't call that cheap.
What bugs me even more is that the Liquor Commission has delisted my favorite beer, Fullers ESB and they didn't even consult me.
At least they still carry London Pride and if it wasn't pi$$ing down I'd be out on my deck too quaffing a pint or three.
