    Unity & Equalization??

    I was trying to get away from the abstract like currency (or cryptocurrency) with respect to the wealth distribution via federal gov’t taxes. You want your cake & to eat it to, step up and accept the commodities that Ottawa is taxing instead of the tax dollars. Quebec can figure out what to do...

    Canada’s Green Shift Could Displace Three-Quarters Of Oil Workers

    They’ll just have to make some small adjustments to their lifestyles is all. Their yachts will have to have masts & sails & rigging & a large crew. Their sports cars will be drawn by horses, etc…& they can use steam powered aero-planes….that’s realistic right? Reminds me of that Jim Hartford...

    Unity & Equalization??

    The solution might actually be fairly simple in concept if not logistically. Alberta changes its laws to collect all taxes from its citizens for all provincial & federal taxes (basically a trust fund), then it remits the portion “owed” to the federal government in a commodity as opposed to a...

    Trudeau Apologizes

    I smell another apology coming, just not sure when or directed at whom, but I’m sure it’ll be touted as a lesson we can all learn from: http://apple.news/ANl9WtILnRkC4NrcsTF727Q Justin Trudeau “hinted” that a resolution was imminent this week when he said the government is “working” with...

    COVID-19 'Pandemic'

    I’m assuming when you donate your body it’s with the idea that you might be saving or improving someone’s life with your donated eyes or kidneys, & not becoming a pay-per-view sideshow circus freak. The concept of dignity is lacking in this situation.

    Yet Another 'Pretendian' Outed in Canada-Why is it Always Women Anyway?

    “There are suddenly many more grants and benefits to identifying as Indigenous,” TallBear says. “It’s a problem because non-Indigenous people are simply unqualified, for the most part, to figure out who is Indigenous and how they belong to a community or not.” Ahhhh…..it’s a “Follow the Money”...

    I’m sure the Liberals could think up a tax that would correct that, but who would they target to pay it?

    http://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2016/nov/06/hydropower-hydroelectricity-methane-clean-climate-change-study Please reread the first couple of paragraphs in the opening post to this Thread.

    Unity & Equalization??

    Nobody? Did I break the Internet? Think of the arrant and arrogant dismissal of Alberta’s recent equalization referendum in contrast with Quebec’s declaration of French as its only official legislation. That was a brazen exception to Canadian bilingualism, but Quebec’s assertions were treated...

    http://apple.news/AsnI853gVS3aeCOSC5YMidQ Justin Trudeau, who should be looking out for the whole country, including the economic interests of the whole country — but this week Trudeau made clear that’s not part of his agenda. “We’ll cap oil and gas sector emissions today and ensure they...

    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    Recent months have seen a massive spike in the price of gas, housing, beef and telecommunications, among others. Not wanting to be left out, Canada’s dairy farmers recently called for milk prices to rise an incredible 8.4 per cent. Wait, isn’t it illegal for an industry to collude on the price...

    How the GW myth is perpetuated

    The Canadian parliament has yet to meet after the most consequential election since 1945, nor has Mr. Trudeau even held a meeting with his own caucus. All this is as it should be. Naturally, big international gatherings like the G20, and especially so sublime a gathering as the world’s...

    Yet Another 'Pretendian' Outed in Canada-Why is it Always Women Anyway?

    I’m confused by all of this in this story. So this University Professor Self-Identifies as a “Morning Star Bear”? Girls Self-Identify as Boys, & Boys Self-Identify as Horses, or Chairs? There’s 72 pronouns for gender the last I heard & these are strange & confusing times. Why did the CBC do an...
