    Omnibus : Gas prices, Oil prices, Embargos

    Excise taxes are flat rate. GST/PST/HST are % on the price per litre. Not sure which model carbon taxes use.

    Biden 2024 Gets a Bounce After State of the Union Speech

    I think you could devise a scenario where 34% of vote got enough electors in the college to win the presidency. Unlikely but possible. Just depends where those 34% of the voters are.

    Omnibus : Gas prices, Oil prices, Embargos

    I think the sad part is the more the price goes up, the more $$ TrueDope gets. I think it is % not flat rate. Also HST/GST/PST all are % as well. Cash cow. I filled up @ 1.54 right before this last hike. Still near full.

    Conservatives demanding O'Toole resign again

    They were released to the media, he resigned as leader of PCs in Ontario then the allegations fizzled and no charges were ever laid. It looked like a targeted smear attack and who knows if there was ever any wrongdoing.

    Freeland: Canadians should brace for economic collateral damage

    The collateral damage is likely due to the government not necessarily the sanctions. But now they have a scapegoat.

    Black Lives Matter-Ugliness of Racism.

    I have usually been asked to accommodate people who are traveling together who were too cheap to pay for advance seat selection and are stuck with 2 middle seats. I usually decline for a middle seat since I usually pay for advance seat selection.

    Black Lives Matter-Ugliness of Racism.

    I am neither black nor American. And I have been asked which is why I gave the benefit of the doubt.

    Black Lives Matter-Ugliness of Racism.

    I have been asked to move as a single traveler many times. I usually decline if the new seat is not to my liking. But it sounds to me this is what happened in this case. The person who was moved happened to be black and the seat happened to be at the back (usually the last seats taken).

    I doubt she was moved because she was black.
