All in which Black Market is that much much better than the nearest competitor. At least if the motor knocks out you will float to firendly shores. Softwood sucks up lots resin, the straight toothpick like shape also saves machining time. How many miles can a boring machine make in tundra compared to bedrock at that elevation the mine diamonds in open pits

That's where petro chemicals, esters, paraffins and sulphurs come from. The big money stuff.

Oops almost forgot pharmaceuticals.
Yet BC exports more goods to China. The US is the primary, and almost only, market Alberta exports to.

Go to a port and read what's listed as the contents of the black UTLX railcars. Railcar after rail car full of oil products head to Vancouver from AB and SK everyday for export to China.

You've seen this before. Now you know where all that big money sulphur came from.

Where there were no subsidies to help push along an industry.


"But the critics’ numbers bounce around all over the place depending on the definition they use. Some consider certain externalities like car accidents as subsidies. They argue that most vehicles are propelled by internal combustion engines running on gasoline and the fuel is indirectly implicated in the crash. By this line of reasoning, they find fault with the industry for not contributing to accident costs."

"Contacted by the left-leaning Tyee online news site, IMF researchers helpfully provided a detailed breakdown of those Canadian “subsidies.” The bulk, about $19.4 billion in 2011, was identified as uncollected taxes and externalized costs such as carbon emissions, pollution, traffic accidents and even road congestion. "

“reasonable people looking at it would dismiss the IMF view as being overly inclusive in its definition.”

Anyone but Harper for me.

I would vote for Cons if they had a convincing platform.

That is fukking hilarious.... Justine has no platform other than not allowing pro-lifers in his party

Guess that I'm not surprised that you'd make such a vacuous statement

No subsidies? Where were you from 1970 - 1998? The ON you know was built on subsidies and plenty of Tax Credits. Same goes for BC and QC. Who ran it into the ground?

There could be much more exported if the NIMBYs and NOPES would quit protesting infrastructure projects in BC. Nothing goes to China if it cannot make it to the coast first.

Pony was pretty clear in Maclean's Western investment and resources aren't going to see any slow down. I can live with that. When the ports are done Mentalflaws can get a job in an assembly facility in ON of his choice. Manufacturing is gone but assembly is set to explode.

I have a good job in Ontario already and it had nothing to do with manufacturing or a government handout.

I did it all by myself and I'm supporting a family too.

It's liek, a capitalist's wet dream!


If I ever consider a tax payer subsidized job, I'll move to Alberta and get in da patch.

Where did you find a job in Ontario that is NOT subsidised by taxpayers?
