The Pesticide Showcase

By Lisa Chandler, 23 June, 2025

If I was making a highlight reel of our weekend, our visit to the pesticide showcase would make the cut. 

I loved it. 

Peter didn’t yes, and me quite as much as I hoped. And I didn’t dare film the bored looking, unsmiling Canadian Tire guy who came to tell us that only his manager had the key and we’d have to wait five minutes. I wish I could have. He was an excellent straight man. 

I also wish I could have captured the friendly manager who arrived to help. I admit that we smirked a bit when he said he’d need to leave our controlled substance at the check out until we finished shopping. 

Next time I encounter the makings of comedy gold, I’ll have waivers on hand.
