I have had to have elderly pets euthanized over the years when they lost all quality of life and have always thought I should have that option for myself if my quality of life became unbearably bad. If I am ever diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or some other dementia I will definitely choose it before I’m too far gone.

The baked goods taste stale and the coffee is overrated.
Amuletta@lemmy.caOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•How a shift to canola-based biofuel could help make up for lost Chinese market5·5 days agoThere was a biodiesel plant built out near High River Alberta in the late 80s. It was mothballed after only a few years of production. I wonder if there’s enough left of it to start up again?

Amuletta@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada in 'facility crisis' as aging public pools face wave of major repairs or closures6·7 days agoI wasn’t living here then, but when the Shaw Center was to be built in Saskatoon, apparently a public town hall type meeting was held to announce it and at the very end the city planners of the time said something like “Oh by the way, we’re mothballing the Harry Bailey Aquatic Center, so this replaces it”.
To their utter astonishment, people loudly protested and they were forced to back down and keep Harry Bailey. Gee, imagine that - people actually wanted a centrally located pool designed for actual swimming, so that they didn’t have to drive out to the far west edge of town if they lived on the east side. The only other indoor pools in or close to the east side are tiny cramped “leisure” pools. (Lawson is bearable, Lakewood is thoroughly awful for laps.)
So, Harry Bailey was in service until early 2023 and is now undergoing a massive renovation. Looking forward to swimming there again next year. Last time I drove by they were installing photovoltaic panels on the steep roof.

I guess Lloydminster, Saskatoon and Prince Albert are not Canadian cities then.

The choices are limited and too expensive for my budget.

No, not unless they get fed and housed while doing it.
