  • I switched from Shoppers to Pharmasave, mainly because a branch opened up right down the street from me and was therefore closer than Shoppers. But I’m super happy I did so. I’m on a first name basis with the pharmacist and he’s really good. I bring in an empty and he’s got it refilled in like a minute and a half. And when I had problems with an insurance claim for a prescription, he actually called the company for me and sorted it out.




  • Kingstonist.com, a digital news outlet, is working hard to fill the gaps, Sypnowich says. But it is a relatively small operation, with just three full-time journalists, a manager who occasionally helps out with news coverage, and a budget for freelancers. Forster and Fardella recently stepped up to support the publication, but their willingness to pay for digital news makes them a rarity. While almost three quarters of Canadians (72 percent) access news online, a majority still believe journalism is best served up free, with 57 percent indicating they won’t pay anything at all for it.

    I love the Kingstonist! I have a subscription I pay for monthly. They have indeed been working very hard. They have traditional articles along with local news show on YouTube, an interview-oriented podcast, a community calendar, and a whole section they set up about the provincial election with candidate profiles and what not. They may be small, but they punch above their weight.
