Napa delivers. Cost of parts is nuts. Have you tried Rock Auto? Its online but super cheap if you can wait a couple days. Best thing is a photo of every part they carry.No NAPA between Nanaimo and Courtenay. I only do Lordco because they have some of a branch in Qualicum, a decent store in Parksville and the island distribution center in Parksville. Usually I give them the old one and hope they can match it. Works most of the time.
If I need something right away Ill still order from rock auto and buy local. Then I take the Rock Auto parts back to the local shop and pocket the difference.I use Rockauto. Also Pars Avatar and Amazon. Got to watch pricing, sometimes when you include the freight the price isn't much different than local.
I don't like the way parts books are set up on these sites, as they often show parts that don't fit your vehicle mixed in with ones that do. The systems seem to be set up to encourage impulse buying.
Another one I use for tools and that is Vevor. Lots of other cool shit at decent prices.
Nah, the people who throw the word "groomer" around approve of raping underage girls.... JFC...

Watch: West Virginia senator says child rape victims ‘romanticize’ their rapists and see them as a ‘boyfriend’
A West Virginia Republican state senator is under fire after arguing on the Senate floor that children who have been raped "romanticize" their sexual abusers, saying the children are involved in "relationships" with their abusers, and see them as a "boyfriend."State Senator Robert Karnes made...www.rawstory.com
THIS is just absolutely disgusting.
This... piece of absolute garbage needs his computer checked.
Absolutely just... batshit crazy.
And THIS guy - and others like him - think they have the right to dictate how women concern themselves with their health care?
So here's my question, when is someone going to start calling HIM a "groomer" because, OBVIOUSLY he thinks it's okay for men to rape children? Let's be clear, ANYONE who rapes or abuses a child sexually is not "in a relationship" other than Power, control and calling it a 'relationship' is just insane.
He loves to throw the newest buzzword for the right around... but seems to me HE fits the bill more than those he calls 'groomers'.
Maybe those states become just like New Brunswick and rely on the federal government for their existence .![]()
Eli Lilly pushes back against Indiana's new abortion law
Some large employers say sweeping restrictions on the procedure will make it harder to recruit employees in the state.www.cbsnews.com
And so it starts.
Thank your state!
It just doesn't seem to be terribly accurate tho. Aside from the optics there's really no practical difference at this point. These american states are so tiny that even if you're in the middle of indiana you're just 100 miles to the next state. Like a 2 hour drive or less would put you at a number of places willing to do it. And i can imagine facilities close to the state border will be making sure they have an option available to get the business.![]()

Its less of a drive than burns lake to prince george and i know people who have to do that trip for medical reasons fairly often, I feel like this is kind of a bit of a nothing-burger.
Yes. Have you ever driven through a province? The states are THAT close and THAT tiny.Have you ever driven through the US? They're not THAT close and not 'that' tiny.
What are you talking about? Anyone can leave a province in Canada. Unless you're in jail or something but if you manage to get pregnant there then there's some additional questions to be asked.Also there is the fact that not everyone can leave the state, just like not everyone can leave a province in Canada.
Entirely possible - feel free to school me. From my perspective and lived experiences this is really nothing. People in Canada live with this already and have for many decades and it's just never been an issue. I'm quite open to the possibility i'm missing something entirely, and i do mean that sincerely, but as it is i just can't see someone basing whether or not they move to a state for work primarily on abortion access being less than a few hours away.I think you're missing the entire point of this.
I suspect (but could be wrong) that the 'importance' is based entirely on ideological position and not on any kind of practical reasoning when it comes to the specific issue of access in this case.A "nothing-burger"... okay, sure. Maybe to YOU but to the people that live there... it's pretty goddamn important.
I have; go to another province almost weekly.Yes. Have you ever driven through a province? The states are THAT close and THAT tiny.![]()
Again for most people it looks like you're talking about a few hour's drive.
I have to drive for an hour and a half each way every month just to get my eyes treated. A very significant portion of Canada's population has to travel for more than 2 hours just to get basic tests done never mind an abortion. But i've never heard anyone suggest they wouldn't live in those areas due to lack of easy access to abortion services.

But - if enough people ARE of that kind of mind then they are able to elect officials who would allow a reasonable level of abortion to be lawful,
Personally i'm pro-choice although i'm against later term abortions. I feel that near-bans (bans except for rare circumstance) are pretty hard to defend logically or form a point of view of law. But if the worst case is that until they can elect another gov't that they have to drive for a few hours I just don't see how that would be what deterred a person from moving to that state.
In the maritimes the provinces are considerably smaller so comparisons don't really fit. So she may not be the best judge of that.Yes. Have you ever driven through a province? The states are THAT close and THAT tiny.![]()
Well google maps and basic geography would seem to disagree. They're that close and that tiny. Are you suggesting it takes substantially LONGER than a few hours to drive from indiana to the nearest state?I've also driven halfway across the US. The states are not THAT close nor are they THAT tiny.
Nonsense. There's always a way, and there's busses as well. That's not a reasonable argument.A drive some people cannot make.
If you mean 'in theory' - sure. If you mean in the real world? I doubt it.That's a factor someone might have in moving to a new state for a new job. It's a health care issue to be considered.
Well a) - of course he can leave, take a bus/train/plane/whatever and b) oh look he got out because someone was able to give him a lift. Which is what always happens. If someone has a medical need they are always going to know someone with a car or the like.I have a friend who doesn't leave NB unless I take him, because he cannot leave due to no vehicle.
Of course they can leave. We've been over this - that is a completely nonsense argument from the get go. "inconvenient" isn't the same as "can't". And for gods sake, we're not talking about a weekly trip to get groceries. I would HOPE they don't need an abortion every week.A LOT of people in my town - seniors, university kids - can't leave the province because of no vehicle. And paying 100 bucks (one way) for a cab just to go grocery shopping - where they won't wait for you regardless - is insane.
Ahhhh - so now 'lived experiences have no value in your worldWell your lived experiences are selective. They're YOUR experiences, and unless you're able to get pregnant and have had to deal with the issue, your perspective is only partly formed in reality/facts.
Sure - humans are entirely different there. Nothing like the humans we have here.Cause it's Canada. We're talking the US here.
I doubt it's much of a factor at all, and you haven't presented anything that would suggest otherwise.It's a health care issue. It's an issue that a company DOES have to consider some employees may figure into wanting to relocate.
OF COURSE THEY SHOULD BE EXPECTED TO TRAVEL TO GET HEALTH CARE!!!! - that's already life in MANY places in the states, it's certainly the case in canada as well, there is NOTHING in the constitution that says "thou shalt have access to health care and abortions on every city block". Emergency services are one thing but if you need treatment you may have to go to the place that has treatment. It's always been that way, it's that way now, it will likely be that way in the future unless i can get this damned teleporter i've been working on up and running. (so far it only works with socks. And i can't bring them back.)As for the access - assume that the person does have a way to travel - the point is they shouldn't HAVE to, in order to get health care. Throw in that there are states who are trying to push the "Even if you travel you'll be held for X reason", that takes away any freedom of movement.
Sure it is - and they have access to health care so there's no problem.Nah, health care is pretty practical actually.
It should absolutely be an issue. It's unfortunate that it hasn't been settled previously but roe vs wade has always been called sketchy law by legal types. I think it's too bad that the courts couldn't have somehow produced a timeline, like said "but there should be a 3 year transition period' or something to give people time to have state elections around the issue and have a dialogue and such - that would have been the right thing to do - but i understand they may not have had that power.True, but UNTIL then they have however many years to suffer now with lack of health care when it shouldn't be an issue.
Probably true. The opposite seems to be somewhat true as well - most people aren't 'pro-abortion' in the sense that there comes some point where they think it should be restricted. "aborting" a baby 5 mins before the mom gives birth with no medical reason or threat to her health would leave many uncomfortable.Only extreme people are actual "anti-abortion". Most everyone is okay with abortions 'in certain circumstances'.
The only obvious 'big deal' there is they may face a political backlash.I could give a lot of hypotheticals of situations where someone wouldn't move to a state that's got strict abortion laws even if they're trying for a new job. It's not that hard to come up with. And it's obviously a big deal enough when a company with a 100 plus year history in a state is thinking of changing because the state is no longer a good fit for said company.
Well fair enough i suppose.In the maritimes the provinces are considerably smaller so comparisons don't really fit. So she may not be the best judge of that.![]()
Well i suppose the people in alaska would have reason to complainBut yes, getting into another state can be quite quick. Some states are long though so one direction may be longer than others. When I drove to SK from Toronto through the states, I was almost completely through my 4th state before I reached a point where straight north of me would not be ON.
