Awe thanks, that is very sweet of you! It probably worked, they are pretty on the ball.
I do my best to support local shops across Alberta. I haven't worked much the last year so I'm still pretty limited but I get around in small communities too. Even if I get something online, it's still thru an Alberta shop, I was always like that tho even before the pandemic. Local tourism in the Rockies helps too (when we are not on lockdown although if I know someone near-by where I can stay, I'll go despite the lockdowns..oops, you didn't hear that...haha), they have been slothered over the last year. If you stick to outdoor activities like hiking , I don't see the harm. THEY CAN"T CLOSE THE OUTSIDE. I'm all about loopholes!
