• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance.

  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here!

Got a letter in the mail today regarding my accounts at Praxair. They have been bought out by Linde it looks like.

I am old enough to remember when they were Union Carbide and were forced by the courts to divest into Praxair et al after the Bhopal disaster in 1984.

30+ years later...still a sad tragedy.
 
oh, and air liquide (Alberta) got bought by Linde as well. I sure hope they come back as i have very bad things to say about Linde's very bad customer relations :mad:

We have 3 suppliers in the city, 2 of which are Praxair and AirLiquide....guess we now have 2
 
Perhaps they will change their policies in BC about hydro'ing, recertifying and filling larger customer owned bottles! *fingers crossed*! :mad:
