Years ago wife preferred Loblaw veggies over No Frills but when you went and saw the exact same crappy green peppers (waxy and wrinkly) at both but pay more at Loblaw - what's the point? Though we buy most veggies at No Frills, the odd thing we will buy only at a better place like Sobeys. (Don't have to remind me that Food Basics is Metro; Price Chopper is Sobeys; No Frills/Fortinos/Maxi is Loblaw) I guess the better places for that stuff would be a smaller independent grocer (we have one up the street) and/or a place like Longos. We have a Chinese store up on Bayview that my parents go to for vegetables. I tend to do go those grocery stores (T&T/Foody etc) for either Dim sum or take out food. Rarely shop for veggies - don't know why. We don't generally eat that much fresh vegetables or tofu like you - esp in the winter. If I truly wanted good stuff I would go to the Waldorf school on Saturdays - they have an organic market (veg/fruit/meats) - I may actually see EC there! But you said in an earlier post that most of that stuff is local or N/A - not "all from China". The point isn't buying veggies from here in a Chinese store - it is buying veggies and fruit FROM China - wherever. I entered L today and for a moment it was identical to CNR on Friday - within 10 seconds of buying it, it was back down to 41.27. Cripes. My entry was to be 41.40 and then out of no where it hit 41.59 - bot it there and down it went. Anyways entered ENB as well and all three ended nicely up. Ford cracked $17 - a 17% gain on that one so far since buying it before the earnings (20% in US$). Maybe this week's GM IPO will help Ford more. In Business Week they mentioned that there is some rumor that apparently the Chevy Volt has gas to be used at certain times - no different than a hybrid. GM is keeping mum until the patents are in effect. BTW: Heads up on Fortis - hit my scan over the weekend and tonight - good for a possible entry tomorrow. b
