    Until such time as America can prove that their are responsible and respect medical science, Canada has removed America's privileges.

    We will review America's progress at the end of the school year and determine if we give it it's privileges back.

    :P

    Canada?

    I ordered something from Vancouver, (Seattle) and had it sent to where I live in Ontario, (think NYC) on Jan 4th.. they promised 7 days.. didn't arrive until the 1st of Feb. They said, covid and christmas order were to blame.... more like lazy postal employees. How about they hire more staff during the holidays.. and keep your legally binding business agreement of 7 days delivery.
    I need a job at Canada Post, I'm lazy, crazy, half-blind and unmotivated, at least with the union I'd never get fired regardless of how bad a job I do.. people need an alternative.



    ... Yeah, but what's the speed of DARK?

    FedEx delivered a package to me that wasn't mine. I tried to call them to tell them about it, and their phone greeting goes like this:

    "Thanks for calling FedEx. If you're package is late, it's due to covid-19."

    It's hilarious. Covid-19 isn't funny, but it's funny that I can apologize for just about anything and blame it on covid-19.

    "I apologize for stealing your car - it's due to covid-19."

    Was there an excuse for parcels that were delivered but not
    yours?

    That's about right! :/

    I use it when I arrive at my shop late, or if I choose to close
    early, or if I need an excuse for a late delivery. <G> Lot's
    of fun. We've never had it so good, so to speak.

    Funny that, I ordered a faux-leather jacket a few months ago [to Toronto] and Canada Post's tracking told me it was delivered......... to some town in Manitoba! :O
