    ‘Painful summer ahead:’ Gas prices reach 211.9 in Metro Vancouver, expected to rise

    Governments in both the U.S. and Canada seem to have missed a critical piece of information required for everyone who wants to drive an EV. Our electrical system cannot support this. What about this can't they understand? What is it that people can't understand? Brown outs? Black outs...

    April Fools!! Here's your Carbon Tax F#ckers!!!

    Of course the poor pay GST. Why wouldn't they? They may receive the GST rebate but they do pay initially. Why wouldn't they? How would they avoid paying it? Stores automatically include it in every purchase that is GST with the exception of items that are exempt from the tax and gas isn't one of...

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    So the U.S. is providing LNG that Canada should be exporting. Atta go Trudeau!!! It goes to show that he was entirely correct (for a change) that he has no interest in monetary issues likely because he doesn't understand basic economics which is why he told Germany there was no "business...

    It's Climate Change I tell'ya!! IT'S CLIMATE CHANGE!!

    Lived in Vancouver for 2-1/2 years, one of which they had a wicked snow storm - it was New Years Eve and my g/f and I were all "decked out" for the evening. Our dresses were ruined by the end of the night simply because the snow was so deep and nothing, even snow plows, were moving that night...

    Public Inquiries into Emergencies Act begin September 19

    Absolutely! They work FOR us not the other way around. As it is, it's difficult to get information from any of the government departments. Has anyone here tried to contact a government department? How long were you on hold if you were even given that option? How many "numbers" did you have...

    What words are you referring to that "effect" (as opposed to affect) that I have said about kids that would be harmful? Knowing that they have issues and dealing with them is (or at least should be) a priority. But questioning their "gender" because they are having issues is stupidity and should...

    What's the reason for Toronto housing crisis?

    Boardwalk definitely purchased a lot of apartment rental properties. I don't think they purchased individual homes like Blackrock does and that's the issue in the U.S. The following was an article in "Slate" with their perspective: "Might the fact that corporate investors snapped up 15...

    Canada’s Military current state & equipment

    We just are enriching the war lords by providing funds since they have no infrastructure to even distribute either money, food or water. What a waste!!

    What's the reason for Toronto housing crisis?

    In the U.S. Blackrock Investments apparently is buying up blocks of housing, just as Jinentonix stated, to rent out at higher rents thus removing additional housing that would otherwise go on the market. They are also paying the sellers over market value for these homes which, of course, only...
