There's a fruit store on our street
It's run by a Greek.
And he keeps good things to eat
But you should hear him speak!
When you ask him anything, he never answers "no".
He just "yes"es you to death, and as he takes your dough
He tells you
"Yes, we have no bananas
We have-a no bananas today.
We've string beans, and onions
Cabbageses, and scallions,
And all sorts of fruit and say
We have an old fashioned to-mah-to
A Long Island po-tah-to
But yes, we have no bananas.
We have no bananas today."
Business got so good for him that he wrote home today,
"Send me Pete and Nick and Jim; I need help right away."
When he got them in the store, there was fun, you bet.
Someone asked for "sparrow grass" and then the whole quartet
All answered
"Yes, we have no bananas
We have-a no bananas today.
Just try those coconuts
Those walnuts and doughnuts
There ain't many nuts like they.
We'll sell you two kinds of red herring,
Dark brown, and ball-bearing.
But yes, we have no bananas
We have no bananas today."
Yes, we are very sorry to inform you
That we are entirely out of the fruit in question
The afore-mentioned vegetable
Bearing the cognomen "Banana".
We might induce you to accept a substitute less desirable,
But that is not the policy at this internationally famous green
grocery.
I should say not. No no no no no no no.
But may we suggest that you sample our five o'clock tea
Which we feel certain will tempt your pallet?
However we regret that after a diligent search
Of the premises
By our entire staff
We can positively affirm without fear of contradiction
That our raspberries are delicious; really delicious
Very delicious
But we have no bananas today.
Yes, we gotta no banana
No banana
We gotta no banana today.
I sella you no banana.
Hey, Marianna, you gotta no banana?
Why this man, he no believe-a what I say.
Now whatta you want mister?
You wanna buy twelve for a quarter?
No? well, just a oneofadozen?
I'm-a gonna calla my daughter.
Hey, Marianna
You gotta piana
Yes, banana, no
No, yes, no bananas today
We gotta no bananas.
Yes, we gotta no bananas today.

How nice for you

He's never been gone for more than two or three hours! He seems happy with that sort of life. What the owner of the bottle depot thinks, I'd hate to imagine! Actually with his limited I.Q. it probably takes very little to keep him content.

I'm gone for months during the summer when I'm too busy. I'm surprised you've forgotten given how you cry like a little girl when I return in the fall. Could it be your dementia?

Trudeau and co. threaten Saskatchewan while rewarding B.C.

Quote:
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has a simple question, why is the federal government willing to threaten to withhold funding from his province for opposing a carbon tax but won’t do the same when British Columbia is blocking a pipeline.
“We don’t think that is an advantageous way to discuss with the provinces,” was the answer from Bill Morneau, Trudeau’s finance minister. Morneau was on CTV’s Question Period this weekend and told host Evan Solomon that threats were not the way to go.
​
Quote:
“This idea of threats is not helpful. We’re instead going to be focused on getting the project done, I want Canadians to know that we will do that, and do it in a way that addresses the issues, which we’ve done through things like the oceans protection plan,” Morneau said.
Pressed by Solomon on why he thinks threatening one province is okay and not the other, Morneau actually rolled his eyes. You can watch for yourself at the 5:30 mark. Try to avoid punching your computer or throwing your phone, the dripping disdain will make it hard. “Suffice to say Evan that I don’t see those two things as analogous,” Morneau said. “I think we share the view of the Saskatchewan premier and the view of so many Canadians that this project is in our best interest.”
​
Quote:
The Trudeau government has threatened to withhold $62 million from a low carbon fund for refusing to sign off on the carbon tax while British Columbia was handed a $4 billion infrastructure fund payment while in the middle of blocking a multi-billion dollar infrastructure project. So just like Alberta gets different treatment than Quebec, British Columbia gets different treatment than Saskatchewan. It is easy to understand, the Liberals win seats, or have the potential to, in Quebec and British Columbia while they win little in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
The provinces that reward them with seats get carrots, the ones that don’t get the stick.
Voters on the prairies skeptical of Trudeau because of his father’s actions now have a reason to distrust him for his own actions, or lack thereof.
The Trudeau government has refused to act on this issue in any meaningful way despite the constitution clearly saying that something like a pipeline that crosses provincial borders is within federal jurisdiction. Of course the constitution also says I should be able to take beer across a provincial border and the Supreme Court just ripped that up with Trudeau’s help.

Trudeau and his gvt is imploding a little more and more every day.

The ultimate action that can be taken here is to play fast and loose with the supply in those places that decide to be dicks.

Anywho, we'll see how this experiment turns out if Notley has the balls to make good on her threats

Summer fuel sold in winter and winter fuel sold in summer with no anti knock, oxidizers or detergents. It's cheap.

Military keeps their stockpile for y months then it is sold to Costco, Safeway, Superstore Domo and the likes.

It's not worth trying to save a nickel a litre.

The money is what makes oil such a difficult problem to solve.

If oil was $25 a bbl and gas was 50 cents a liter it would be much easier to leave this energy source behind.

But industry and government depend on oil money to finance their ridiculous programs. Without oil money they would have to actually earn it.

So if the Govt of Ontario funds a wind farm in Saskatchewan to feed the oil patch is it good or bad?
