I hear you. Diesel trucks have had PDF filters for a couple decades now, & DEF on top of DPF since mid-2008….so a ban on trucks older than 10 years old isn’t based on an real logic environmentally but strict upon political posturing and financial exclusion (chokes out smaller and less well...

Why not? There’s always children & grandchildren & great-grandchildren to pay for our debts. How would Americans react to a Carbon Tax that increases every year (with no sunset date regardless of their actions) on April Fools Day on top of their other taxes? Would it be like the modern...

If you had to define the term “Carbon Tax” into a few sentences that also describes the reasoning for its existence, how would you do so? Going forward, on the financial spectrum of who is affected by the carbon tax, on the top end are the rich who won’t really notice it and who’s behaviour...

If a Carbon Tax isn’t a punitive tax intending to punish in order to change behaviour, then what is it? A Rose by any other name etc…and wording it as a tax that “incentivizes actions to make them less carbon intensive” changes it into a non-punitive tax how? Somethings we can change...

Inflicting or intended as punishment. What’s the expiration date or timeframe on a punitive tax to make it become a non-punitive tax?

Didn’t realize a politician had to be in a ‘position of power’ to lie or be caught in a lie. Pierre Poilievre has been in politics for 15-20 years now or something like that (longer than Justin Trudeau), so if he was going to be involved in or caught in lies & ethics scandals, wouldn’t that...

Maybe….less the entitlement and the ethics scandals. Pierre Poilievre can come across as abrasive in a ‘cut to the chase’ sorta way, but I have yet to catch him an lie at this point, which I can’t say for Trudeau.

If the CBC said that the sun rises in the west, and that was the same statement of the current government who was funding them, and the CBC stuck to the statement that the sun rises in the west, that also doesn’t prove that either the sun rises in the west or that they’re beholden to the hand...

Please see post #130. Here’s the Wikipedia summary of the timeline of this $600,000,000.00 (& not the CERB $60 million) being addressed: In June 2017, the CPF subsidy was re-imagined by lobby group News Media Canada (NMC) as the $350 million yearly Canadian Journalism Fund, and sold to...

Thank you. I guess there’s a huge difference between the court, & The court of public opinion.

The $60 million is CERB Trudeau Bucks, & the $600 million dollars isn’t. Mixing the two together like they’re hand in hand or the same thing is just confusing the issue, so let’s just separate them as they’re two very different things. Most of us (private citizens and taxpayers outside of the...

In all honesty I have not heard of this one until a few minutes ago. what is the background on this one and how did this thing happen?? Below is pulled from the post above mine: MINNEAPOLIS — Hundreds of protesters took to the streets of downtown Minneapolis on Saturday demanding justice in the...

The legal team also previously argued to get the lawsuit dismissed, citing a 2009 deal and $500,000 settlement she agreed with Epstein. Giuffre – who was formerly known as Virginia Roberts – has accused convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein – who committed “suicide” in August 2019 – and his...

The more recent $60,000,000.00 media hand out of Trudeau CERB bucks was more broadly distributed across the spectrum, & it was ten cents on the dollar compared to the $600,000,000.00 from three years ago that was given out to select media outlets. If the Liberal Party selects the entities on...

Saskatchewan residents should get used to paying more when they need to fill up their gas tanks. Gas prices shot up by 10 cents per litre around the province Friday to $1.48 per litre in both Saskatoon and Regina. Saskatchewan isn’t alone in the fight. Dan McTeague, the president of Canadians...

The $600 Million that Trudeau doled out to select media outlets 3yrs ago was what I thought was being talked about, & thus the CBC blurb current to that timeframe.

Yes, that is what they said but not what they did. http://www.cbc.ca/news/opinion/media-bailout-1.5147053 The news release put out Wednesday by Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez begins well: "The Government of Canada understands that for a democracy to function properly, it needs to have solid...

In theory the money was for a transition away from print media to electronic, but I recall reading at the time that many media outlets that never had any print media whatsoever got in on this dole. The reward was for the ‘right’ news in this transition payment to select media outlets.

He comes from the West, educated in the West, but is an MP in the East. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Poilievre

OK, I was just curious. I have a Sister who pops her head in here periodically. You can even see the family resemblance (as her avatar is a Border Collie).
