s it just us or does the old saying, “You don’t know what you have till it’s gone” ring especially true this year? After November 1 we may even miss the Christmas carols playing ad nauseum until New Year’s at our favourite businesses. Likely gone as well are hour-long lineups at department stores and fist fights over $100 TVs at Walmart on Black Friday. Hey, maybe this isn’t so bad? That’s right folks, we’re staying home this year to curb the spread of Covid-19 – so join us as we start crossing items off our Christmas lists early by indulging in our favourite coronavirus-coping-mechanism: online shopping.

Your cup will taste better knowing you’re supporting an Indigenous inclusion continuum.
