Off kilter.

Right dear, you conflating your obsession with gays to Trump. Is that a TDS symptom? What? never been to a dolly tub meet. Go and see the world.

Already have one. Went to bell ringing, forgot them.

Yup

The equality gate is good in those situations. Your just jealous.

The industrial carbon price remains in place and another increase is scheduled for April 1, when the price will rise from $95 per tonne to $110 per tonne. At a time when global energy markets are once again facing geopolitical uncertainty, this increase risks amplifying the pressures already building within Canada’s food supply chain. With tensions rising in the Middle East, and the possibility of disruptions to oil flows, higher fuel costs are likely unless the current conflict de-escalates quickly. Anyone familiar with the region understands that predicting stability there is rarely straightforward. Middle East conflict could drive up costs across Canada's supply chains: experts We have seen how quickly energy shocks can ripple through food systems before. At the start of Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Canada’s carbon price stood at $40 per tonne. For a truck hauling food between Toronto and Montreal once a week, the additional carbon-tax burden amounted to roughly $2,000 per year. OPINION: Playing Russian roulette with food security and brand reputation On April 1, the carbon price will reach $110 per tonne—more than double what it was when the Ukraine war began. For that same weekly Toronto–Montreal route, the additional carbon-tax cost alone rises to roughly $6,000 per year compared with 2018. That is more than three times the burden carriers faced when the Ukraine war began. And that calculation excludes the obvious: higher fuel prices themselves, which inevitably accompany geopolitical shocks such as Ukraine in 2022 or the latest tensions involving Iran. The cumulative effect becomes clearer when looking at the national logistics system. Canada likely sees 800 to 1,200 long-haul food truck trips each day, many covering distances of roughly 1,000 kilometres. At a carbon price of $110 per tonne, the diesel tax component alone represents approximately $34 million to $52 million per year in additional costs across those shipments. And this estimate is extremely conservative. It excludes the additional costs associated with clean fuel regulations, refrigeration units, empty backhauls, secondary distribution routes and warehousing operations. When those factors are included, the financial impact across the food supply chain could easily be three or four times higher. Geography also matters. In a country as large as Canada, regions located far from major population centres—such as the Prairies or Atlantic Canada—bear a disproportionate share of transportation costs. Distance alone makes food logistics expensive; layering additional policy costs on top of that reality compounds the challenge. It is also worth remembering that carbon costs accumulate across the entire supply chain. By the time food reaches a distribution centre, its price already reflects higher input costs at earlier stages—from farming to processing to transportation. And margins do vary in food distribution. Each additional cost is applied to an already higher base price. Ultimately, consumers pay the difference at the grocery store. Some industry observers have described carbon pricing in food logistics as a “silent killer” of competitiveness, and the description is not entirely misplaced. Canada is already a challenging market for food distribution due to its vast geography and relatively small population. Adding further cost pressures to logistics does little to attract investment in grocery retail and food distribution infrastructure. https://canadiangrocer.com/inconvenient-truth-about-carbon-tax-and-food-prices

What right wing media would that be? Did you mean CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, NY Times etc, that rightwing media?.

Thanks for admitting your obsession. Help is available from the Amish dolly tub growers.

Why do you always have to makes a reference to butts?

Based on reports and data from 2025, the income and wealth gap in Canada has reached record highs, with analysis suggesting that policy approaches under the Liberal government, including those associated with Mark Carney, have contributed to this widening disparity. Record Income Gap: Statistics Canada reported that the income gap—the difference between the top 40 per cent and bottom 40 per cent of earners—remained at a record high of 48.4 per cent in the second quarter of 2025. Wealth Disparity: By mid-2025, the wealthiest 20 per cent of Canadian households controlled nearly two-thirds (64.8 per cent) of the country's total net worth. Policy Criticism: Critics argue that the decision by Prime Minister Mark Carney in March 2025 to cancel a planned increase in the capital gains tax inclusion rate has benefited high-income earners and widened the income gap. Effect of Economic Policies: Reports indicate that while top earners saw gains through investments, lower-income households relied on temporary government assistance, with the overall economic approach in 2025 failing to tackle, and potentially increasing, income inequality. Impact of Inflation: The post-pandemic inflation and high interest rates have amplified inequality by benefiting asset owners while squeezing the working class and young, first-time homebuyers.

Something that is well beyond your capabilities. But you already knew that.

Rather blunt, try again. You can borrow my sharpener.

and....your point?

Chuck Norris the martial arts champion who became an action star in the hit series Walker, Texas Ranger, has died. He was 86. His family released a statement on Friday, writing, “It is with heavy hearts that our family shares the sudden passing of our beloved Chuck Norris yesterday morning. While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace.”

Who's post was first, so who's obsessed, who's past post history is in the same vein. Obsession is thy name.

or caged with a couple of gay Tigers.

Why the obsession with gay stuff?

Does that include cuckoos?

Yes I heard it loud and clear, and he said it whilst leering at the waitress.

Oh looky a post showing a "man" with a long face. Well done sir, have a cream puff.

What did the cuckoo's nest look like when you flew over it?

See name calling again. Shallow.

So comprehension problems again. Just because you did not like the information does not mean it wasn't factual. Name calling, the last resort of one bereft of tangibles. When the cows come home or later?
