Stabbing FNs in the back is all Trudeau needed to do for the Sovereign Nations to reneg on the Numbered Treaties that are the backbone of Confederacy.
They should have made the map more accurate by putting -$12 Billion on Alberta -$2.5 Billion on Sask. and -$1.1 Billion on N&L

I don't see why people are surprised by this. The forest industry in BC has been fighting this for 3 decades. Much of the money comes from the same US sources, although there are some one trick ponies as well. US timber barons have been instrumental in creating illegal taxes on Canadian lumber. Just like US oil interests are financing oil spitters in Canada.Foreign donors opened wallets to ‘hurt’ Alberta energy sector: Report

EDMONTON — The inquiry launched by Alberta Premier Jason Kenney’s government into the scale of foreign funds aimed at damaging the province’s oil and gas industry has issued its long-awaited report, finding that foreign donors provided nearly $1.3 billion in funds for Canadian environmental campaigns between 2003 and 2019.

“From my perspective, I was surprised at how much we found, how co-ordinated and sophisticated and well-funded these campaigns were,” said Alberta Energy Minister Sonya Savage in an interview. “It was a lot of money, coming from across the border, from foreign jurisdictions that came in to influence domestic policy, to influence legislation and regulatory matters, policy, and we should care about that.”
This post, from a little over two years ago, in today’s light, seems quite prophetic with respect to today’s logistics issues and current supply chain mess.I'm sort of working through these responses bottom to top from when they where posted.
I agree, but I still think isolating it away would add a level of safety to what really hasn't improved much in the last 140 years.
Thank you. I've never mentioned this outside of work or Family before. It was a bit too close as that's only a few months ago.
For the most part I agree. I am in the transport industry also (myself and my coworker who also happens to sign my paycheque run a Trucking company). Our roads have gone to shit with the increase of super heavy loads on them with B-Trains and Turnpike Doubles. Most of Canada's highways where not built with these weights in mind and thus the reason many highway lanes in cross section look like the letter 'W' as they warp from the weight that even two decades ago where unimaginable in this country. They're going to get bigger too. and Walmart is pioneering this.
Canada, even with the greatly increased Truck Traffic in the last couple of decades due to the increased population and the "ship when ordered" instead of the 'regional warehousing' philosophy hasn't kept up with safety in mind. Vancouver to Calgary is 13hrs, and Calgary to Winnipeg is 13hrs, and not enough places for all to stop before then (Canada's max driving time for that reason is 13hr/day as opposed to the USA's 11). ELD's (Electronic Logging Devices) take away the driver's option to stop when fatigued (live GPS & unethical companies that are the minority but it's real) creating fatigued drivers but that's a different debate.
The Fed's have very little to do with the decline of the Railroads. It could be argued that the rail system was more efficient (I'm meaning time efficient and not fuel efficient) a century ago. I remember a Thread by Colpy more than a decade ago about a box of old letters he found in an attic after an elderly family member passed away (I think that's how it happened) where letters back and forth between somewhere in New York State and small town New Brunswick where delivered in a day or two (provable by dated letters and postal marks with 1 or 2 cent stamps). Produce could be shipped by train at that point also. A letter mailed in Regina might go to Winnipeg to get processed before coming back to Regina to be further sorted before it's delivered now instead of being sorted by people on a train while in transit 100 years ago for example.
Nope. The first bigoted asshole gets a certain amount of sympathy. The second bigoted asshole is just a bigoted asshole.
