Oh let's not waste money investing in EVs. China can build them for us. The USA can build our planes. California can grow our food. Sell off PEI for summer cabins and let Idaho grow them taters. We'll jess git back to choppin' wood, Boss.

I'd suggest remedial reading classes Foxy. As per usual you've read and replied to hundreds of posts I've made over the years indicating I live in N central BC, yet claim I said I live in Vancouver so I'm the liar. Plus, pulling shit out of your ass once again your BS claim of a Loblaws and Sobey's in Burns Lake points out your usual no effort whatsoever to look up anything before you post. There's a Wholesale Club that is owned by Loblaws and a SaveOn. There is only 1 branded Sobeys in BC and that's in Invermere. And no one, anywhere, including me alluded to anyone being forced to shop at Loblaws. Pulled that our of your ass too. You also entirely missed the point that "BCs very own food people" are everywhere in Western Canada and now the Territories and were entirely unnoticed by Parliament. Like they don't exist, aren't important enough. I've met dyslexic, autistic kids with better reading comprehension. But sticking to the subject of the thread, I'm not going to boycott them if they have better prices than someone else. I seldom go to the big Stupidstore anyways. WalMart and Costco are far better. The nearby Co-Op grocery has better fruit, veggies and meat.

So we can build more million dollar homes... granted, workers are needed but that doesn't solve the underlying issue. They're buying $1M properties in Vancouver as tear downs. Release federal/provincial land for building, the developers are gonna sell for $1M a lot. That won't help any new home buyers, just feed the frenzy. But that's the only thing they can come up with, right? More of the same, and swallow the blame.

Go back to ditches, gravel roads, telephone poles and septic tanks and a $50,000 provincial first time home buyer grant? F^ck zoning laws and allow manufactured homes on slabs or foundations anywhere? They could release federal/provincial land and ask builders to bid to build on it and sell it only through a govt agency. Void the GST on them. No land speculation, lowest building markups and no real estate agency fees.... You know the GST on a new $1M home is $70,000 and a home across the street sold for that a month ago.

Well seeing as how Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba completely disappeared along with CN & CP rail and every diesel semi truck for a long while it was a convenient excuse to gouge shoppers for a while. Now if Australia and New Zealand ever get ships again, we might see something in stores besides the "rack" of lamb priced like it flown in by helicopters. But welcome to a World economy run by the rich where a couple Houthi rockets forces you to pay 30% more for Alberta and Alaska oil.

Be from western Canada where SaveOn is the big grocer, but goes completely unnoticed and unaccountable to Ottawa. The one I posted the $33 a dozen gluten free hot dog buns? Where we drive 60 km to the Independent or 160 to a Superstore just to have a Loblaw choice. No. not gonna boycott, they're too far away. Have to stick with the $8.49 for 4 day old fritters or 6 donuts. And the flyers where they have only empty shelving where the featured goods are supposed to be and managers that call you stupid or ignorant if you expect otherwise.

Can you give an example of any that do?

Oh FFS you guys are cueless 1diots. They just took ateps to correct the problem and you're still making up imaginary visions of what the problem even was. The druggies are returned to the bushes and back alleys where you won't see them and can go back to pretending the drug problem doesn't exist. Take it as a win... you didn't really give a shit anyway. Until it's a friend or relative that dies.

Showing how you don't even know what 'woke' is, just a parrot that uses woke, liberal, leftist for anything at all you don't personally like. Now you're applying it using tax dollars and incentives to encourage business development which is exactly what a do-called conservative would do, And you can't seem to understand a dingle thing anyone posts correctly, sarcasm included. -
The real surprise is how many people had absolutely no clue how big the drug use issue was until the users flaunted themselves right in their face. They tried to make laws just a few months ago and it got held up in court (which ppl seem to have already forgotten), so now they're pushing this one with federal approval. Yes, the public outcry made them do it quickly. The ruling over the previous law would take over a year. Plus Eby also admits the public use ban should've been part of the original plan. Now you can hate the NDP even more for admitting a f*ck up and not doubling down out of sheer obstinance. BTW possession wasn't recriminalized, public use was, it is still legal to carry 2.5g and it's highly unlikely you'd be charged simply possessing drugs in a park. More likely they'd just seize it, same as pouring out your liquor bottle.

Anti-Conservative Bias in CBC and MSM
herbie replied to Zeitgeist's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
You're actually unable to perceive that the very idea of what is conservative has moved much farther right than it was over the last few decades. Eager to fully adopt the Big Tent us or them, black or white mentality. -
More like $4200, but seeing as how you mentioned EI & CPP which are not tax, counting that as pa deductions would reduce it at least $1000 more as 2 people are paying those instead of one. And take into account a nonworking spouse gets a lower pension than one that worked. But you're correct in that an extra tax hurts your family income and is unfair. Look at it like this it's even worse: taking in the 15k deduction for a nonworking spouse on earns 60K vs 2 earning 30K You're looking at the single earning paying $2400 more tax. 2400 bucks of a family income of 60,000 hurts a hell of a lot more than 4200 to a family income of 120,000.

Took you long enough to notice. And it's absolutely typical to interpret things that way. No they don't. They want say over their lands not ceded. The concept of First Nations is not the same as Countries. No one will lose titled land, but they will determine the terms of future land use and ownership on Haida Gwaii. You will deal with them, not just Victoria and Ottawa.

Hamas Attacks Troops Building Pier
herbie replied to Rebound's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Forcing their people to endure even more is what Hamas sees as 'good publicity'. They want you to see the suffering of the people and not them. -
Anti-Conservative Bias in CBC and MSM
herbie replied to Zeitgeist's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
It is only liberal biased if you see anything left of fascist as liberal, have become so Americanized you think the Democrats are liberal. As I said, 20 years of propaganda demanding a march to the right will do that to some. By people that don't realize the "mainstream" has become The Internet that carries far more right wing content, and are unable to distinguish news from opinion. Reality is that most Canadian media endorses conservative views and endorses Tory opinions. The bulk of even the CBC criticism is because they don't, they clearly point out what is editorial opinion and report news as news. -
Ontario needs to invest in EVs as a realistic Option.
herbie replied to Boges's topic in Provincial Politics in Canada
Talk about timing..... Did you miss the $15 billion Honda investment in 4 EV plants in Ontario this week? Besides, stop worrying about batteries. PP knows electicians that can pluck electricity from the sky. So do I; with wind and solar. -
You all forgot you already have a female party leader to vote for. Elizabeth May. So if the sex of the PM is more important than their policy, vote Green. And BTW I would've had to really search my soul for any redeeming quality that would've made me think of voting for Kim Campbell.
