Pinktober

Welcome to Wondercafe2!

A community where we discuss, share, and have some fun together. Join today and become a part of it!

This came through on my FB today. I decided to share it here. I contemplated putting it in a main thread and decided this might be better.

Avoid buying pink products during October. They are merely making money for the products. A marketing tool off people's pain. Donate to legitimate organizations like The BC Cancer Foundation.

This must be a Western Canada thing- here the walks are for the benefit of the Cancer society- and isn’t that the one that supports research?
 
We have the walks here too. Not as much money goes to research as a foundation gives. I know Alberta has a foundation as well. Most hospitals have foundations which raise money for projects and research. I believe you'll find similar provincial organizations in other places. It might be a matter of supporting a specific hospital foundation that does cancer care and research. I do know BC is one of the top spots in Canada for cutting edge research. That research benefits all.
 
As promised.

 
Toronto is the West for me
Western Canada to me is B C, Alberta and Saskatchewan.

You are definitely in Eastern Canada but we would usually say the Maritimes. Newfoundland is just Newfoundland, I think.

Americans have their Midwest but I never hear that terminology here.
 
As promised.

That was very interesting.
Shocking that there is/ was no law/ control of what is in cosmetic. I hope that Canada would be at least a bit better.
Now under Trump, I am sure anything goes.
