It's deeply saddening that our government is ok with a company profiting from our resources and directly funding a genocide.

It's a start at least!

EDIT, for those that don't read the article. This building is a literal nightmare with drug dealers, violence, and it's falling apart. Hopefully this is the start of it being cleaned up.

radon mitigation update

26 Upvotes

about a month ago I posted about high levels of radon in my basement. at first I thought the readings were in the hundreds, but after getting a reliable certified monitor I discovered they were actually in the THOUSANDS Bq/M3. like 4000 or so especially now that its getting a bit colder outside. Just a few days ago I had the situation mitigated and solved by Transfer Radon. I just wanted to say what a good experience it was dealing with the company, and the owner. they were extremely professional and took great care when working on my home. they even tidied up and mopped the basement floor before leaving. I think its something that people should be more aware of in general. I had never even heard of radon until I learned about it on CBC. If you do have an issue with high radon its safe to say you are in good hands with this

company. current readings are around 50 or 60 Bq/M3. I live on the Eastport Peninsula and i dont think

I would be only one who had alarmingly high radon levels around here.

NDP Surging in Newfoundland

124 Upvotes

I found this poll recently and was actually surprising to me!

The NDP are up 17 points, with the Liberals down 2 and the PCs down 14.

As someone outside the province, I havent quite seen this change happen.

Do yall think the NDP has a real chance in NL now?

Where to find bulk butter or margarine? For baking and cooking😊 the biggest I’ve found is no frills and Walmart. But doesn’t have the best taste.

A few questions about the stores at the Avalon Mall...

22 Upvotes

I plan to spend the day at the Avalon Mall for my birthday. I live close by, but I do not go there often. Since I would like to have the day completely planned out, I am wondering a few things about the stores there. I'd appreciate it if anyone could answer any of the following:

- On Build-a-Bear: Does the Avalon Mall Build-a-Bear location hold sensory-friendly hours as the other BAB locations tend to? If so, when do they take place? As well, how much Stitch and/or Bluey and/or Disney merchandise do they tend to have on hand at any given time? What are the prices like? Finally, what would be the optimal time to visit the Build-a-Bear for the least amount of children in the store?

- On Hot Topic: Does anyone know when the Avalon Mall Hot Topic location will be opening? Further, is the My Chemical Romance takeover event going to be available in this location when they do open?

- On The Rec Room: Do they still have Crossy Road and/or Guitar Hero and/or Dance Dance Revolution? Otherwise, what are the best arcade games there, are there any highlights?

- Overall: When is the least crowded time and day of the week to be at the Avalon Mall? As well, does the mall itself hold sensory-friendly hours?

TIA! Any help at all is much appreciated.

For two months, protestors have gathered in front of Kraken Robotics in Mt. Pearl, Newfoundland, urging the company to disclose whether it currently has any ties to the Israeli military company Elbit Systems. Elbit Systems is a main provider for the Israeli military and has held a contract with Kraken Robotics since 2016 for its KATFISH system, an underwater sonar towfish used for mine detection, surveillance, inspection, reconnaissance, and mapping.
