When I said f*cking idi0t it's obvious I'm talking about you. You even know you're a f*cking idi0t which is why you felt compelled to reply. Sacred of you little man, seriously.... 😂

No conjecture on my part.... The death and infection rate is fact. Yes you mentioned Japan, which I'm sure you read was also an outlier in the low covid death rate. They had the lowest rate amongst G10 countries, Canada was next best. You keep forgetting the obvious though..... we haven't been through a pandemic like this in our lifetimes so the government errored on the side of caution, which is their responsibility to the citizens. Because of political bias you keep falling back to conjecture, that you've admitted, yet keep saying we're not prepared. You admit you don't know that for fact but keep saying it. I'm at a loss of how to reply in any other way than I have multiple times...

What is so difficult to understand about 'protecting the welfare of citizens'? Those governments have made their decisions and have applied those restrictions which is well within their authority. End of story....

So therefore, your comments of the government forgetting and/or disregarding lessons learned by not warehousing adequate supplies is conjecture only, right.... Isn't death the ultimate measuring stick? We had lesser cases of infection than most countries as well because of the restrictions. Could they have done better, yes but they also didn't fail. Sorry but not following how you can say the record is attributed to the Canadian people when the Canadian and/or Provincial governments set forth the policies that people adhered to. Either way and again, I'd like to think we'll be better prepared for the next pandemic simply from lessons learned during this past one.

The f*cking idi0t cares more about talking partisan nonsense than he does about the facts that land, peoples home and livelihoods are being destroyed. Calling him a f*cking idi0t somehow seems to be too polite though....

The people who put this data together must have their asses fired out the door immediately... This doesn't align with Trump's narrative that he's been responsible for the best 6 months ever in the history of the US, and the world. Nobody thought it could be done but he's done it. They've never seen anything like it.... The US economy lost 2.7M jobs (178K manufacturing jobs) during his first term so he's got a ways to go to get there this time around. He's as dumb as a bag of nails so I'm not betting against him besting the job losses from his first term.

The stupid tax convo I'm having with Gato is not about how tariffs are paid. It's about how personal income is paid, and to whom. Got it though.... I'm done with that convo

But the Financial Post is main stream media. Can we trust it? Interesting that the right wingers here only accept news from main stream outlets when it fits their narrative, otherwise it's fake...as I'm guessing by your laugh at ExFlyers link.

I'm guessing that you have no children or grandchildren that will be around long after you're gone.

I copied and pasted the data. Your choice in what you want to extract from it. Wasn't the Trump's CUSMA deal maybe the best deal ever? Sure it was.... On January 30, 2020, Trump said: "The USMCA is the fairest, most balanced, and beneficial trade agreement we have ever signed into law. It's the best agreement we've ever made". Ross Perot... 😂 Wow.... your company pays you a wage which state and federal taxes are deducted from. And no, taxes are paid by everyone and every business. You truly appear to have trouble understanding.... For god sakes read what I've said. We're talking about tariffs FFS and if an entire sector gets hit with tariffs the entire sector is likely to pass those increased on. WTF is so hard about figuring that out? If you want to talk about one off's and price elasticity we can do that til the cows come hime. We're talking about tariffs. No, but I will think back and laugh about some of the conversations I've had with low information people like you. Good to hear you're working. What's your role in the functional department of this multi-national company you work for? I'm assuming it's not product management, procurement, sr level sales or finance....

It's interesting but not surprising that Chris Wright, US Secretary of Energy, acknowledged climate change is an urgent challenge we need to address, but after confirmation he drinks the orange Kool-aide he's told to like other Maga's... For Chris Wright, there may be no simple truths. At his Senate confirmation hearing on Jan. 15, the man poised to take control of the U.S. Department of Energy and its vast apparatus of technological research and development sat behind a walnut desk wearing a gray suit and a crisply knotted red tie. Wright, the founder and CEO of Liberty Energy, a $3 billion natural gas fracking company, harkened back to his days as a solar energy researcher and offered lawmakers a vision of open-mindedness and innovation. Climate change is an urgent challenge, he reassured them, and he would address it. “It is a global issue. It is a real issue. It’s a challenging issue. And the solution to climate change is to evolve our energy system,” he told the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. “I am for improving all energy technologies that can better human lives and reduce emissions.” Since his confirmation as the secretary of energy on Feb. 3, though, Wright has outlined an anti-climate agenda. Speaking to conservative audiences, he is charismatic, animated and far more zealous. Wright dismissed the transition to renewable energy as nonexistent in a Feb. 18 speech at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference, a gathering associated with the podcast host Jordan Peterson, and called global efforts to boost the use of renewables, which he said drive up the price of energy, “lunacy.”

Because Fred said it? S. Fred Singer, a physicist whose efforts to refute established climate science earned him the enmity of experts, died on April 6 at a nursing facility in Rockville, Md. He was 95. His death was confirmed by Rochelle Lieberman, a cousin. Even as evidence of the human causes of climate change and its risks to the planet coalesced into a scientific certainty, Dr. Singer argued that the threat of climate change was overblown, that efforts to blunt its effects would cause grievous economic damage, and that the effects of global warming would be largely beneficial. “Not only was Fred among the first atmospheric experts to publicly question the validity of climate models, but as it became more and more politically incorrect to criticize the models, Fred was unmoved,” said Steven J. Milloy, a climate-change denialistwho served on President Trump’s transition team for the Environmental Protection Agency. “He doubled and tripled down on substantive criticism of the models, putting his scientific view ahead of the risks to his stellar career and reputation.” But most climate experts saw a humbug. Dr. Singer was a focus of the book “Merchants of Doubt” (2010), which examined how tobacco and other industries promoted a small group of scientists who worked to muddy the truth on climate change and other environmental risks, including secondhand smoke, asbestos and acid rain. He was one of those, the book’s authors, Naomi Oreskes and Erik M. Conway, wrote, who “used their scientific credentials to present themselves as authorities” and “used their authority to try to discredit any science they didn’t like.” In an interview, Dr. Oreskes, who is a historian of science at Harvard University, noted that Dr. Singer singled out reputable climate scientists for personal and professional attack. “I think he did a lot of damage, through literally decades of casting doubt on established science,” she said.

Sad pathetic little man.... You and the other fools with little common sense who are concerned about their rights can go for a walk down the street if it's that's important.

Refute your partisan BS that Carney is setting BCH for his and friends own personal gain.... F*ck are you stupid! You're a freaking rerun.... you typically have absolutely nothing so you resort to BS and talking like the angry little man you are just so you can talk. A little man who is a waste of time, and a fool to boot.... Other than that you appear to have it all going on for yourself.

Wow, just wow.... I can see how Trump got as many votes as he did. I never took business 330, if there is such thing, but did take business administration courses in college until leaving with no degree and getting into the real world with a career spent in business with two US based multi-national companies. I have an understanding of how most functional department's of business works.... You?

What did I cherry pick.... the report is the report. Agreed that China is a different country with trade. Any other examples? Ford built a plant in Mexico in 1925....100 years ago. Manufacturers are not bringing back this or Canadian car production in any grand scale because of the multi-billions of dollars invested in a supply chain that is dependant of production from each country. You've won nothing and within time will look back at the tariff policy as a net loss. You just don't get it do you.... Your employer does not pay your state or federal taxes. Good god man.... You're starting to catch on about business input costs.... Once again, if tariffs increase costs across a sector companies within that sector will generally all pass those costs on to the end user. Any yes, part of business is continually looking at ways to improve your cost position. You're catching on 👍 As soon as I say you're catching on you say something nonsensical, and right against what you said above. Good god man... Your analogy only applies if you intend to sell a dozen eggs with this new business. Otherwise your costs are amortized to your total output and sales, which needs to be competitive for the product you're selling, or with value-added that allows you to get more price. I'm not an egg eater so not sure what value-add there is for some with eggs except being free range?

No. You clearly have zero idea what you're talking about other than your typical attempt at partisan politics. Go back to bed little man.... You're a waste of time.

I haven't read it myself but you said it has to do with emergency services not being available if needed. Considering and protecting the welfare of citizens is authoritarianism?

Read what you typed.... An increased salary does not mean the company is paying taxes for you. It means they're paying you more salary. Think about it.... It's wholly fact. As the input costs of goods or services increase pricing increases accordingly. That is in the business 101 course you missed. But yes there is a band in some instances where demand will decline if price is increased too much. That isn't this conversation of tariffs though. If a sector (and not a particular company) see's input costs increase all companies within that sector will generally raise prices. That means you pay more for goods supplied from that sector.

You appear to have trouble understanding that CPI has rose and the full impact of tariffs haven't been felt yet. I never showed any stats, although they align with Biden's deportation numbers. It's only a lie of it's main stream media, right? No, I'm saying every country wants access to the US market but not at any cost. Of course trade with the US will be done, just lesser as the diversification of their trade relationships increase. You drink too much orange Kool-aide thinking the US doesn't have fair trade deals, but I'm sure you're also one that thinks a trade deficit means you're getting screwed. Are you serious.... The state and federal government collects taxes from your pay. That's why you file a tax returns with the government, not your employer. You obviously don't work in or have anything to do with the financial side of your business/company. Costs are totally relevant.

Call it authoritarianism or call it being the caretakers of your provincial assets and people. Personally I'm more concerned about land assets and peoples homes and livliehoods than I am about politics.

Uhhhh, I have thought... do you not understand what I've said throughout this thread? The government is doing the right thing by restricting access to the forests. I have little to no sympathy for those complains about their so-called rights.

I have to jump into this and ask....what the hell are you talking about? Your employer pays you a salary/wage. They do not pay your state or federal income taxes. That is a deduction from your wage/salary....not the companies. The end consumer ultimately pays your wage/salary. If your employers input costs increase so does the price of your product/services so all stays equal after paying your wage/salary, and obviously other fixed or variable costs. I'll agree that pricing is generally market driven but when you have industry sectors being hit with the same tariffs and increased input costs guess what....prices increase across the sector and inflation goes up.

Your tag say's you're in Ontario. Were you planning a hike in the NB woods that is now cancelled, or just a champion for rights of freedom? The ridiculous thing is that some people have zero common sense.

Because the cost of living was the #1 issue during your federal election. Trump was the guy bring prices down day 1, remember. Immigration was the second most important thing on peoples mind but DEI, that only lived in your right wing twisted ideology. Tariffs are a tax that increases input costs. Higher input costs mean prices increase which causes inflation. It's not a complicated thing. Your July CPI came out out today; The core Consumer Price Index, which excludes food and energy, picked up to 3.1% Y/Y in July, its highest level since February, exceeding the 3.0% consensus and the +2.9% pace in June, according to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Tuesday. Tariffs went into full effect last week. I wouldn't be betting that you're not going to see more inflation coming your way shortly. Everything is dishonest if it doesn't fit the Trump Maga narrative or isn't on Truth Social. It's a weird argument that countries are factually trying to diversify more of their trade to more reliable partners? Maybe try reading.... 'The left loves taxes on corporations'....really? Corporate taxes are part of government revenues. The more tax companies pay the more the cost of their goods or services increase and is eventually passed onto you. Again, not complicated stuff.
