The many problems with Electric vehicles.

You are severely brain damaged. Stick to Bolo bats and boogers, things you know stuff about. -
The carbon tax is going up and so are emissions
herbie replied to CdnFox's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Yes it's the Carbon Tax that makes apples from Pentiction more expensive than bananas from Central America. We know, we'll believe anything. The war in Ukraine made wheat disappear from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba too. That's why Wonderbread is $5 a loaf. Just like how another 2c of tax will increase gas by another 25c. -

IF you believe the box of Corn Flakes that was $4 last week is smaller and $6 this week amounts to 11% annually, go back to Jr High. Like I joke with my sisters" We're so damn old I'm calling to tell you ten cent candy bars are on sale this week at SaveOn for $1.89 Soon you'll see that pill bottle from the Pharmacy with a label that says 120 Halloween size Snickers only $16.99 -

He's jealous. -
Woman's work performance is what I hope you meant. Using the term 'women's work' negates any argument made after the nineteenth century. Know female truck drivers, tire service and processor operators, auto mechanics in their 20s and women that work the sawmill lines because they were as good as or better than some men. And many in the tech field. And the only black woman I know is a school principal.

Mr "Christian" and self-professed Pro Lifer wants to bring back capital punishment. Hypocrisy at it's finest.

Math can't lie. But you can fool people who can't understand it easily. By trying to pass off increased profits as meaningless because your markup percentage didn't change. Just saw single frozen samosa "on sale" for $6.29 yesterday, Bought a package of frozen ice cream cookies clearanced for $2.60. They were Welfare Family brand, so disgusting if I'd paid the regular price of $5.69 I would've been tempted to break into Jim Pattison's home and shove them up his a$$ still frozen. -
How much does it take for the people of Palestine to rise up and throw out Hamas? When you're starving and can see the enemy coming with guns blazing and Hamas fires mass rocket attacks over the invaders heads to blow up things in Israel? Meanwhile keep marching on the other side of the world to pressure a PM that can't do S.F.A. They've lost all sympathy from me. Free the f*cking hostages and get back to the table, they're 100% responsible for no ceasefire deal.

I sue an analogy for that argument. Like telling the pool lifeguard "Why should I have to shower off my feet before going in when Johnny shits in it?" -

Read again. They just aren't required reading. Simple enough to understand? -

Picked the wrong item for your example. Bananas are 75-98c/lb even here in the boonies. All the way from C America. MOF I just bought mangosteens from Asia for $2.49 and Red Delicious apples from Wash State were $3.99/lb. This transportation excuse is total retailer's BS. The ship from Honduras costs nothing, but the truck from the warehouse cost everything, all because of the 20c/L carbon tax? The truck from the warehouse 100 miles away is just so expensive it adds $1 to every jug of milk? The 100 mile trip from the refinery in a 20,000L delivery truck adds 20c to the gas price? $40 a mile? Soory dude, but I've lived with this BS for years and done retail for 30 of them. $200 to deliver a pallet of 20 computers from Richmond 1100km away. $25 for hald dozen boxes by Purolator, most suppliers free shipping on $500 orders. And give up on your anti-EV BS, you don't drive hundreds of miles a day, you don't have as much regular maintenance on an EV, but if you smash them together you'll pay more. And most of the EV makers are knowingly pricing their models to steal all the incentives for themselves. Just like how if you buy a car from the dealer a block from the assembly plant, you'll still pay the $1750+ 'delivery fee'. As for shaming people, well there's Climate change happening and we're trying to reduce emissions. The only 'shame' is on you if you refuse to do your part. -

So I guess the carbon tax isn't financially affecting anyone if fossil fuel demand is increasing. Maybe they should hike it so damn much on gasoline even the stupidest and most stubborn will change their habits.
