All above your comprehension level. Do you even know where Vancouver Island is?

They shuttered their mines and now need to import thermal coal from South Africa.

Fir is usually the wood of choice for burning through the night here in the Interior, pete. Our hardwoods tend to burn hot and fast and leave more ash whereas the Fir burns slow and if the wood stove is properly packed will burn through the night.

Cured, pete. Cut, split and dried at least a year before use and even then checked with a meter. Green wood creates so much creosote and doesn't produce near the same amount of heat as dry Fir.

Chump change or chump customers? B.C. woman steamed over Walmart's wrongful GST charge
By Karin Larsen CBC NEWS
Published Sept 28, 2019
A New Westminster woman who paid 18 cents in wrongly charged GST is speaking out after the store told her they couldn't refund the money.
It's not the 18 cents in GST she was wrongly charged at the New Westminster Walmart that's got Sally Dossa steamed.
It's that after noticing the mistake and flagging it to store managers, she was told she couldn't get a refund because there was no way of overriding Walmart's centralized computer check-out system.
(Uh huh - I suspect the translation of “cannot over ride” come down to “Don’t damned well feel like it”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
"They said it comes from head office," said Dossa, sounding slightly exasperated. "They had no answer for me."
(I am QUITE SURE that little deal DID come from head office - and THEY LIKE those extra charges because the pennies ADD UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(I am quite sure this “error” is on a par with the so called “environmental fees” that Ontari-owe corporations used to hit us with at LIE-beral encouragement for paint and a wide variety of other products - WITHOUT being able to explain WHERE the money was going or what it was used for - other than to make greedy HOGS HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The error occurred last week when Dossa was charged GST on one of five food items she purchased at the retail chain. Under law, basic groceries are exempt from GST.
Walmart doesn't benefit financially from the tax it collects. Rather, it passes that money to the Canada Revenue Agency.
(Oh that IS THE STORY and they are sticking to it - just like stores charging those “environmental fees” that disappear into whose pockets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The incident got her thinking though. Because what might seem like chump change in a singular instance, is anything but when you consider Walmart's big footprint on the Canadian retail landscape.
"If they have 2,000 customers going through that store every day and if each one is paying an extra 20 cents... it ends up being a lot of money," said Dossa. "And if it's happening at this store, it's happening at all Walmart stores."
There are 411 Walmart stores in Canada meaning a small mistake can multiply into big money.
And that's why Dossa contacted CBC. Not because of 18 pennies, but because of the principal of it all.
(And of course the 18 cent charge might have been MUCH LARGER if she had bought other more expensive items!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
"I feel it's my moral duty as a citizen to bring it to someone's attention," said Dosa. "If each one of us walked away and didn't care about these things then we're all going to be paying for stuff we shouldn't be paying for."
Walmart Canada told CBC that it has fixed the error in its system, but it didn't answer questions about how many other customers wrongly paid GST, or how long the error was in the system.
(No - corporation consider that NONE of our business!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
"Tracking provincial and federal tax on millions of possible products in-store and online is complex," said Walmart's Felicia Fefer in an emailed response.
(Uh huh - which is why stores so inclined CAN get away with “extra” charges!!!!!!!)
Sally Dossa sent CBC this New Westminster Walmart receipt showing that the store charged her GST on a grocery item that is GST exempt.
The general rule in Canada is that basic grocery items are "zero-rated" or GST exempt under the Excise Tax Act.
Dossa bought five items at Walmart — milk, yams, tomatoes, apples and a bag of flour — all zero-rated items.
Even though she knew she shouldn't be paying GST, she also couldn't tell from looking at the receipt which item it had been incorrectly charged to.
And that point of confusion — a receipt that doesn't clearly indicate which item is being taxed — might be the biggest problem, according to lawyer Jeff Orenstein.
(Yes - BOTH corporations and LIE-berals COUNT on us being too busy to sort out their paper trail!! IT`s just like the LIE-beral carbon tax rebate - THEY CLAIM is in your T4- BUT TRY FINDING OUT what you got actually got a credit for - I DARE YOU to wade through THAT SH+T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Earlier this year, Orenstein and his firm Consumer Law Group, successfully argued a class action against Amazon on behalf of almost 7,000 clients in the Quebec Court of Appeal.
Amazon is now appealing the decision to the Supreme Court of Canada.
(Corporations and LIE-berals LOVE tax confusion - as long as it works in THEIR FAVOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
In the case, Amazon was found to be charging GST on a slew of zero-rated food and medical items, collecting million of dollars in error. But that fact wasn't enough to carry the case because Canada Revenue Agency provides a remedy for customers who have wrongly paid tax.
(And how much effort does it cost to pursue that CRA “remedy”?? Probably much more than the actual tax paid!! And what are we to think of a govt agency that shrugs off CHEATING because there is an ALLEGED OBSCURE REMEDY HIDDEN SOME PLACE in their miles of paperwork !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Amazon Canada is named as defendant in a class action lawsuit that is being appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada.
Instead, Orenstein argued that under the Consumer Protection Act, Amazon's billing system was a misrepresentation to consumers because the company didn't indicate which items were being taxed and which weren't.
"[Amazon's] bill didn't tell you anything," he said. "It didn't tell you which items were taxable which were not taxable — it was all global GST and global PST and you need a calculator and trial and error to figure it out. And we won on that."
Orenstein said, in his opinion, Dossa's Walmart receipt is similarly problematic.
"I think [the Walmart receipt] would fall under the same type of idea as Amazon, where the bill itself is so confusing that it is the misrepresentation," said Orenstein.
Orenstein says the system is tilted against the individual.
(Meaning LIE-berals WANT US to SHUT UP and go AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The only other option is to fill out a multi-page document called the GST189 General Application of Rebate of Goods and Services Tax and submit it to Revenue Canada for consideration along with your receipt.
Orenstein says the system is "crazy."
"Ask 100 people on the street and you'll be lucky if one person knows that you can fill out a form and get your money back from Revenue Canada," he said. "But that's the way the system is designed."
(Revenue Canada improperly charged me tax on a bank account that was deemed “abandoned” even though I was in the same bank WEEKLY for my pay cheque and mortgage matters - and the bank DID NOT see fit to tell me about any recovery options and I am convinced the BANK - and NOT CRA got my money!!!!!!!!!!!!)
A spokeswoman for the CRA said there is no penalty for a company that collects GST in error.
Walmart said, as per the law, the tax it wrongly collects is remitted to the proper body. "In this case, it was passed on to the Canada Revenue Agency and did not go to Walmart," said Fefer.
Fefer says anyone who believes they were incorrectly charged at Walmart should bring their receipt to the store for a refund.
(Oh yes - go back to the store and gripe about a tax they have already stated they can do nothing about!! Meaning that BOTH Walmart and the BANK GOT AWAY with their over charging - just as other corporations GOT AWAY with their “eco fees”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
DENTON, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) – Residents in parts of North Texas woke up to quite a wintry surprise as some as seeing their first snow in the area in quite awhile.
A cold front that moved into North Texas Friday brought severe storms in the evening hours and massive temperature drops for early Saturday.
With temperatures in the freezing mark, areas of the Metroplex such as Denton and Collin counties saw some snow accumulation. A Winter Weather Advisory was issued early in the morning for those two counties, as well as Parker and Wise counties.
The National Weather Service reported that DFW Airport received 0.2 inches of snow, which is the first measurable snow in the DFW Metroplex since January 2017.
