    @Chigaze oh yeah, good point. They might not be such an outlier anymore.

    The tax levels are so high, and feed into a lot of waste – not so far off the Ab and On taxes to corruption and cronyism though.

    Then the language laws, and fake-secularism laws are pretty frustrating to see though.

      Seems like a good repurposing idea, and possible origin story for the Cult of the Great Pickle.

      "All hail the Great Pickle, may you touch his garlicky barnacles."

      @ottaross The town of Magog, in Southern Quebec, converted part of its huge, abandonned, textile factory into a pickleball center. The local club has hundreds of members and a larger waiting list. Lots of active retirees here.

        @nantel It's amazing how big it has become.

        We have a local two-storey Canadian Tire that got turned into a pickleball (plus other gym stuff) centre, and I see the parkinglot is packed everytime I drive past. CdnTire used was never so busy other than around Xmas.

          @ikeacurtains You'd hope they'd add some soft sound-absorbing structures in there. Would be pretty uncomfortable otherwise.
