  10. Worthwhile sneaking into the US just for this free stuff.? New York (CNN)After surviving a fear-filled year of the Covid-19 pandemic, getting vaccinated is a cause for celebration. As Covid-19 vaccines become more readily available, companies want to reward Americans who've been vaccinated with special offers after getting their shots. CNN Business put together a list of companies that are providing freebies when you show proof of vaccination. Budweiser Now through May 16, or while supplies last, Budweiser is giving a free beer to anyone 21 years old and up -- who provide their proof of vaccination on ABeerOnBud.com. Bud fans first have to first register at the company's mycooler.com website. Junior's Cheesecake From now through Memorial Day, Junior's Restaurant will be offering a free mini cheesecake to anyone who shows their vaccine card at their landmark restaurant at Flatbush Ave. and DeKalb in Downtown Brooklyn. (In New York City only.) Krispy Kreme You can get one free glazed doughnut every day if you take your vaccination card to any Krispy Kreme location in the US, the company said in a press release. The card must show one or two shots of any Covid-19 vaccine to qualify, and the offer must be redeemed in store. And no, you don't need to purchase anything to get your daily free doughnut. Nathan's Hot Dogs If you visit Nathan's Famous in Coney Island with your vaccination card -- on the same day you get vaccinated -- you get a free hot dog. (In New York City only.) Staples and Office Depot Staples and Office Depot want vaccinated Americans to keep their vaccination record cards in good condition. So the office supply companies are offering free laminating services for those completed Covid-19 vaccination cards. A spokesperson for Staples told CNN that the service is available at all Staples locations in the US and currently has no end date. White Castle Between April 22 and May 31, burger chain White Castle is giving a free dessert-on-a-stick to anyone with proof they have received a Covid vaccine, according to the company. White Castle offers four versions of the dessert on a stick: Gooey Buttercake-on-a-Stick, Fudge Dipped Brownie-on-a-Stick, Fudge Dipped Cheesecake-on-a-Stick and, as of earlier this month, its Birthday Cake-on-a-Stick in honor of the company's centennial this year. No other purchase is necessary.
  11. Elon Musk...a father for the 6th time... Should be fun / frustrating for the child as he grows up and someone asks him his name... https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/06/entertainment/grimes-elon-musk-baby-name-intl-scli/index.html
  12. Man is man's worst pro environmentalist First we pollute the Earth Then we pollute the Earth's oceans And now we pollute Space So sad what all previous and existing generations are leaving the next generations and those that believe otherwise repeatably say..............

  15. Did more reading..? OK..by doing that, all they do is eliminate the hotel stay but have to do the "tests" etc. at home and quarantine for 14 days.
  16. Isn't USA to Canada International?? These are snowbirds coming out of FL etc.
  17. Curious.......does flying to Buffalo and then using a limo at $350 USD to cross the border and drive to your home in YZ constitute a loophole ??
  18. Yesterday we had over 7000 new cases, today,( Sunday ),we have over 4000 new cases at 11:30 EST The entire COVID issue in Canada was, and is, a "dumpster fire," and the main reason is that politicians don't want to PO anyone because they want their vote in the next election, Provincial and Federal. If the Feds and the Provincial Govt had "lowered the hammer" at the beginning we might be just as clean as New Zealand PS...Trying to help out an elderly couple who are not proficient on computers.....3 days later I think I know why they can not get "shot" appointments in SE Ontario...I believe that there is, at this time, no vaccine available in this area HOWEVER...there is NOT one word on any website advising people who want to book that "BOOKING ARE NOT AVAILABLE...TRY AGAIN LATER" and there is NOT one phone number listed where you can get info about the website....has it crashed, is it broken, what gives???.. In frustration I drove to the "shot centre" here in "Dotville" and it is locked up tight although their time of operations says it is open. The worst maintenance of a critical website I have ever seen.
