Great news! Tomorrow Ontario is announcing plans to drop the intolerable eco fee thats been tacked onto so many products since the first of July! You weren’t aware of the eco fee? Don’t worry a lot Ontario residents had no idea that this was sneakily implemented the same day HST took effect. This eco fee was being tacked onto household cleaners and various other items as a “hazardous disposal” fee.  The fees were ranging anywhere from 1 cent to almost $7!  There was a “pilot” run of this a few years ago for batteries etc and listing them on your receipt but the “new eco fee” that had started July 1st implemented thousands upon thousands of items from drano to glue. 

Why are they scrapping it? Because it was implemented very poorly and the instructions were very vague to retailers. Different stores were charging different prices for the eco fee. Ie. One store would charge 2 cents for drano while another was charging upwards of 10 cents.  Canadian Tire has even refused to charge consumers this fee! Yes you read that right, Canadian Tire stood up for it’s consumers.

I’m all for saving the enviroment but to me this was just a poorly implemented money grab. I’m so tired of being nickel and dimed to death.

Thanks Manzervite for the heads up

(Below In posts I clarified that Canadian Tire announced this on Monday)

Edit* Canadian Tire WILL refund all Eco fees charged since July 1, you just have to bring in your receipt.

My next pick this week is by a retailer called Smitten NYC. The neat thing about their clothing designs is that it is inspired by 1940’s comic books, something I have never come across before! VERY cool! Their designs are unique, comfortable and extremely functional for various looks and occasions! I was definitely “smitten” by their creative designs! 🙂  Check out some of the tops, shredded sleeves, layered cuts and mixes of patterns, textures and accents! There’s a combination of updated modern cuts and pieces to create a really elegant and fun style! You can purchase their clothing online or check out one of 400 major department stores in the US!

Larger, looser tops are in style as featured in “The Hills” and “The City” with accessories and belts so I could not go wrong with this top! This black short sleeve top features studded geometric detailing throughout. There is also a tie closure at  the neckline. I love this top because I can wear it with leggings, blue jeans or white pants! You can create so many different looks with is and it is soooo comfortable!  Very happy with SmittenNYC! Also check out the reversible short Sleeve open sweater, another one of my favourites! 🙂

So once in a while us bloggers here at Smart Canucks about life in general or quirky things we come across on our daily adventures. Today I’d like to touch upon something really really serious. What happened to Snoop Dog did he hit his head has he smoked too much herb?

Snoop has been around for literally decades, rolling with his homies, sipping on gin and juice. He’s got some serious “street cred” thats for sure. Years ago when he filmed movies such as “Bones” and “Soul Plane” I did question such street cred he’s built up, but the movies seemed to be well accepted so I let it go.  They were just horrible movies.

Most recently he did a colab with Katy Perry, a really upbeat song “California Gurls”  that has been rocking the charts for about a month or so. I don’t mind it, his rhymes are pretty mindless but I didn’t expect much. I decided to watch the video, this is when I was so shocked I literally couldn’t stop laughing.  (Haven’t seen it? Click here.) Snoop Dog in  a cupcake suit. Yes a cupcake suit. I think hes lost street cred. What do you think? Do you think Snoop can rock a “gangsta” cupcake suit?  I think he can rock it, but I can’t see him hanging with his homies in it, thats for sure.
