[Magdalen] Tempus Fugit.

[Marion Thompson]

President’s Choice lives on!   I also enjoy Irresistibles from Metro, son of Dominion, grandson of A & P.   I bought this cheese in a Loblaw’s.  Havarti is Havarti, though that probably wasn’t what you were getting at.

But Marion, you've got President's Choice products (are they still really
good?). At least I assume you still can get those at Loblaws (does that
still exist?) or somewhere.
