The main carbon polluters are not individuals but the industries - mining, forestry, oil and gas, transportation, construction etc. None of these will be "doing less". They will pass the carbon tax on to you and you deal with it!

These are two separate items: 1. Is there climate emergency and should we do what it takes to help the environment and climate recover? 2. Was carbon pricing achieving any environmental protection function and should it continue? On 1, I am sure most would agree the answer is Yes. On 2, most will agree the answer is No. There you have it with few words.

Funny. But Polievre is hardly a lion, more like a chimpanzee.

Your insanity is well illustrated in your line above. The "verbatim" is all around you, unless you are deaf, dumb and blind.

We need one like Trump. Stop immigration completely and start deporting all refugees and unwanted criminals. Put a 200% tariff on China made goods. Subsidize only industries that produce value added products, not oil and gas , mines or logging companies. Stop international help to foreign nations when your own country is in tatters - Ukraine included. Put the FN's in their place with no more apologies for past wrongdoings. You do not give them free money. If they want to go back to their lifestyle , they can have bows and arrows, canoes and horses. They can try to have their own healthcare, police, industries and all the rest. I know how this would go. It will be a no starter for them. They cannot manage the resources and whoever gave them rights over everyone else's was shortsighted. Times have changed. It needs to be rectified and done fast!

I have no issue with #1. It is the stupidity of the Canadian politics for the past 60 to 100 years that made Canada a developing country relying only on exports of raw materials . Shame on these politicians with Polievre trying to just jump in the seat of the previous i-d-i-ot just like him. No vision on how to create value added work and make products to be independent from other economies. He believes all it takes is cut red tape to build more pipe lines. #2 and #3 are really offending to me as they may be to all Canadians. I was not born here, I hold a belief that Canada is built on scams by con artists, so technically I have nothing to defend, but I really hate the concept of being associated in any way with the USA. If they would annex Canada, I sell what I can and will be gone.

Good news. And looking at the replies, Blackbird has either taken a vacation or followed my advice to fly south.

You may as well marvel about the ingenuity of those East Indian scumbags who stole a pallet of gold from Pearson Airport. The gold is still not recovered and the mastermind is back in India with his wife. Just ask yourself how many such scumbags can our economy afford. Then you get a measure of what brain farts you can produce!

Don't give a rat's ass what he owns or what his dad owned. His only property is the 120kg of fat on him which will be converted into fertilizer in due course and I am likely to witness it. As for you and those on here supporting Trump, I think you should all be kicked out of the country immediately. Supporting foreign powers who threaten annexation is treason. Blackbird will likely lead the flock with you on the right and the rest behind in a V-shaped formation.

The blind will never see.

They never win. All they are is liberals spray painted in green.

Didn't Israel invade and destroy Palestine, and whose side are we on? There is more to the story that goes back in history well before the invasion. For their own political reasons, some prefer to ignore it and focus only on the invasion. I never said anything about the US and the tariff war.

Ukraine is a bad actor too. We should have given nothing to them, except we always do what US wants us to do. This time we just could not take the sharp turn. And probably Trudeau figured , on his way out, he did not need to, leaving it in the hands of the next premier. The money should have been used to improve our manufacturing capacities, so we do VAT work on those raw materials and export products instead. The stupidity of doing what's easy and just stripping resources and exporting them has been going for a century. Now we are so far behind, there is no catching up.

I will vote for Carney. That is how it should be. If he is serious about climate change though he has to stop the flow of immigrants first.

Yep. There will be 25% tariffs on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays but only on goods whose names start with the letters g, n, t, o, p, q and z. If it is a rainy day the tariffs will be reduced by 50% to only 12.5% ; on a sunny day the tariffs will be up to 37.5%. If the truck driver is Mexican, East Indian or Hispanic the tariffs jump to 250%. For young lady drivers the tariff will go down to 10% or 0% if they drive naked.

Actually Trump is lower than an amoeba. Even an amoeba can figure out hot and cold but not him. Apparently not you either.

If you want "Make America Great Again" with white letters on black, I think the design below is what you need. Now you can post these designs on X or whatever it was Trump was using . He may be able to sell them very successfully and make a buck or two 🙂

We have to keep in mind that this is a convicted criminal who has been stealing, evading taxes, groping women and acting arrogantly all of his life. Even before the coup he staged, he was boasting that he could kill a person in the street with impunity and still get elected. Well he was elected for a second time despite all that transpired. Now he is emboldened and will bring down the US justice system, the world health organizations, any trade treaties or even military alliances. He will lie, cheat and steal from everyone he thinks is weak enough not to defend himself. If you happen to be on your knees, like Zelensky, he will pick your pockets before kicking you in the teeth. This is the new America - Pirates of all Lands and Seas.

Below is my voting hat. Do you want one in black or blue?

😄 I like that! The Dead Possum, I mean. I will vote for a dead possum any time! My political views change once ever 100 years! And cheers to that!

I can bet my money neither of you posting here is a successful businessman of 25 years. Nice try

Please be my guest, but stay close to the oil sands, drink water from local sources and enjoy the black smoke from the mining equipment. If you follow this, soon your chirping will end and we will be wondering which way you flew.

He is drilled in the head. When he wakes up he drinks a cup of cold bitumen for coffee, eats a coal sandwich for breakfast and is munching on some old growth timber for dinner. During the night he is dreaming of big pipelines and wide spread land devastation. Then he wakes up in his wet bed.

You can give the award to Hashek. For about $15 you can get the complete digital version of Svejk and have 24hours of bliss, or you can just enjoy the first few chapters free at this link:

On one hand this is a problem because they now provide a bigger target harder to miss. On another hand the fat mass may protect vital organs. 😃 What bothers me more is what kind of Canadian soldiers we have and which country they are more likely to fight for.
