It's still in its legal infancy. Hard to tell.
Has increased cost of fuel affected usage decisions?
Ask your "friend"
Uh huh - and the reason you dont hear much about stills in Canada is because if you want decent quality
you must be EXPERIENCED! Every year in places like India - we hear of people GOING BLIND or DYING
because of the LOW quality of what the still produced! The first portion of product is POISON
and it takes knowledge to know when safe production begins!
And of course there is also the chance to blow up both your still and yourself by careless usage!
A still IS NOT a hobby for the home handy man!
It would decrease the purchase of government weed.
The raising of prices was an effective way to promote anti smoking and anti drinking - but there was not really an abundant supply of illegal alcohol or tobacco other than the reserves and the states.
Somewhat?
It's the price that determines it.
Did you not look at the link I provided?
Which urban centers the ones that have mass transportation available? Or the ones just running buses? If you get out of the Toronto greater area, Montreal, and Vancouver, what does the stats say about vehicle vs public transportation? Fuel prices have relatively little effect on vehicle use outside those 3 major centers.
As per the article posted by Ron
For the most pertinent illustration of this we have the April 1st decision to raise the carbon tax. What in the world is this government thinking imposing a fresh tax on fuel in the middle of an economic and health crisis? Our entire economy is nearly in paralysis, hundreds of thousands, even millions of Canadians are under the whip of economic devastation, the country is going into massive debt.
Who with the wit of a stone or a heap of moss thinks this is the time for a new tax on a necessity? Who thinks that raising the price of gasoline for the truckers who keep the supermarkets stocked, kerosene for farmers who are coping with a wet harvest, or fuel for any business that happens to still be trying to operate, is an idea whose time has come?
What more can anyone expect from electing a former, substitute high school drama teacher and snowboard instructor
That's the plan bud... See you and your sniveling buddies later
Excellent point!
What with those unnecessary luxuries like food, clothing heat, shelter - why, it only makes sense to do without
Thank you carbon tax and Sunny Ways!
He's a real gem, ain't he?
Vehicle use and vehicle choice are two different things. Maybe go back a few pages where I clearly pointed this out.
IMO they are trying to use this pandemic in conjunction with the UN Paris agreement to kick the global economy to the next level.
Pretty much the same stats no? Do try to keep the goalposts in one place it is hard to score when you move them.
I didn’t move the goal posts.
Vehicle choice. Stated it from the beginning.
Behaviour is another story which is also affected by price elasticity.
As we've seen in the past and are seeing now, folks aren't so concerned about global climate warmey changiness so much when the choice is between food, shelter and heat compared to this sad myth of changiness dues to CO2
... And whether the US increased or decreased emissions, the result was fully contrary to the ecotard's 100% predictions.
Funny how that works, non?
Funny how that works, non?
Well of course. It's all a big conspiracy to take away yur car and save Hillary from court orders.
Hoo boy....
