And you are clearly a loon if that's what you really think.

It'll probably be an issue at the other end.

What NATO expansion? It's a ludicrous notion that's been as convenient to America as an excuse for all the drama as it has Putin. Putin's vision only encompass' his and his cronies interests, like Trump's.

It doesn't have to because the industrial carbon tax isn't applied to every step in the food chain. Only the largest emitters pay, the the cost is not passed on because the tax is output based. If it does effect farmers on the ground exemptions apply so there's likewise next to nothing for farmers to pass on. The tax is deliberately designed to have as small an impact as possible on food prices to end consumers, not create the Ponzi-like multiplier effect you're claiming it will have. The tax will add approximately 0.1% to the cost of food this year and 0.08% by 2030. But it'll be multiples more than the cost the Bottleneck of Hormuz is adding to everything to hear you people put it.

Because they're a bunch of whiny Karens too.

I bet that's exactly what Putin would say.

I was pretty sure it would...we've both been saying so for years. Its funny how the inspiration to celebrate or criticize it depends on who's saying it.

Dubya looked deep into Putin's eyes and was clearly wowed and Trump obviously thinks he's the bee's knees too. Better dead than Red meant something once but now the black bleak vision Putin has for the world seems like a really good fit with the virtuous economy thingy you people subscribe to. Whatever Obama warned about fell on on deafened ears and a hearty chorus of la la la, or America, fùck yeah...something like that.

FIFY.

Probably not. I'm an Earthling. We rarely fit in anywhere without pissiñg someone off it seems.

I bet you wear a suit and tie at home.

John Rustad, Randy White, The Yahoo on the Sea-doo... It's why the center is on the rise in Canada. But I actually hope it stays a little fringy myself.

Who told you this?

Whatever they do over there just keeps making things worse. If the world was a China shop, America would be the bull.

I wonder how many Canadians have ever seen how lingering and lasting the consequences of the past can be. When putting work crews together once I unknowingly assigned a hereditary chief to work under a crew boss who's family had descended from slaves. It caused a bit of a kerfuffle. In my defense at the meeting I pointed out the guy's family I had to work with on the job tried to wipe out my family at Glencoe. August would probably say we get along but sometimes things do go sideways.

It's really easy, it's because wealthy powerful people always stick together to keep themselves isolated from the great unwashed masses of humanity they govern. It's their economics that trumps everything. Why do you think the income and wealth gap just keeps on growing at the expense of the middle class and lower income people no matter who is in power in Canada? This divide between top and bottom is only going to get more pronounced over time as sustainability issues and scarcity bites harder and harder. Hard-boiled right-wing lickspittles will continue to ingratiate themselves to their betters because of their fear no poor man will ever give them a job. Lefties just don't see things that way at all. You people are slowly and finally getting more woke to the more important things going on in the world but...better late than never? Sadly no, like everything else you people touch you'll even make the inevitable collapse worse. I'll probably be happy if I can just stay out of your way without being rounded up when the shit really starts hitting the fan.

No, I never had one. You still got your gesundheit pass?

It's a better place already. Thanks!

True enough I suppose, just not being conservative is enough. And as pointed out earlier trading with them reflects the fact Canada has a pretty loose set of morals and ethics and always has.

LMAO! Liberals are just right wingers from where I'm sitting. Always have been. Free trade globalization, championed by conservatives like Reagan, Mulroney and Thatcher is what took it to the level it's at now. Speaking out about that made you a commie back then like it does now. As you say yourself what do you think will happen when your opposition is given the reins of power? Why is it such a surprise they cozied up to tyrants even more closely?

My first boat was made of two logs, a sheet of plywood and a busted goalie stick for a rudder. I almost drowned taking it out into Lake Ontario.

Decades ago you people called me an anti-capitalist commie for saying no truck nor trade with China because of its dismal regard for human rights around here. Good to see you're finally getting all woke but I doubt it'll make a lick of difference.
