Here is some of that aid being sold on the black market....does not look like anyone is starving....and with unlimited funding foreign journalist would know where to get food if they need to this is just another ploy to make the situation look desperate...food is there if you have money... https://dnyuz.com/2025/07/29/gangs-and-merchants-sell-food-aid-in-gaza-where-israels-offensive-has-shattered-security/ https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/30/were-not-here-to-beg-gaza-residents-anger-over-steep-rise-in-prices

Really and where does these four media organizations get most of their news from, HAMAS controls the narrative, like how many are killed, or wounded, what was bombed...etc etc. conveniently leaving out those hospitals that were bombed where HAMAS HQ's or shelters....So yes the news has to be taken with a grain of salt....somewhere in the middle is the truth.... That is how war works....civilian population pay the highest price of anyone on the battlefield...and they are not starving, they are hungry but not starving.... Somalia those people were starving...When the civilian population has had enough they will over throw the terrorist government...or live with it...

Having federal jurisdiction over anything is not the best answer, remember this organization is not run to make money, so your service is not going to the same as some company running it for profit.... It does certainly sound like your blaming the maritimers for this incident....my entitlement....really over 20 bucks you gotta be kidding me....i travel to PEI once a year, and might go to NLFD every 5 years....this Carney reduction really does not effects me....cost me more than 20 bucks just in snacks....20 bucks is not going to make me richer in any way...and would much rather have that 20 bucks going into my gas tank...Your making it sound like the maritimers begged for this, and are now flaunting it...in front of BC....not true....this is some lipstick over the pig to get votes...I'm sure if the roles were reversed, maritimer would not give a Sh!t to be honest , you make it sound like we are dancing in the streets, we are not.... when you realize this is a federal gift that amounts to nothing and maritimes would much rather have something else....we did not choose to have our ferries run by the feds, nor our bridge....it is the way it worked out ....and from this side of the fence it sounds like you guys are the entitled ones... No One is paying for anything, the maritimers and those that travel between the provinces are paying the whole shot, and the tickets or tolls are the vehicle in which we pay back every cent to those that invested in the bridge and ferries. and until that loan is paid off the feds will run it the way they want....i was pointing out BC gets far more tax dollars invested in your province than the entire maritimes does....not sure why you chose this project as one to pick on.... I did not imply it was BC fault just pointing out the amount of fed money invested in your province, is much higher than ours and in the maritimes nobody is complaining about that....we understand who is contributing and how the system works....but what gets my goat is the renaming the provinces and the whole complaining about when the maritimes get a small break and BC is asking for their share....when they know they already get more than the maritimes...that to me is entitlement...

if you take the bridge you will need to drive from NB to pei,prices have already been mentioned... the ferry is from NS to PEI and costs about 91 dollars plus a fee for each passenger....however you can travel for free on standby, but are the last to be boarded and there is no guarantee of getting on... so to answer your question if you take the bridge over and then the ferry you are will travel for "free" for all Canadians traveling.......providing there is space for you and your vehicle...which most crossings are full....but in the off seasons maybe...But there is always a but, in most cases it is faster to just cross the bridge depending on where in NS you are...and it is a lot cheaper... https://www.ferries.ca/ns-pei-ferry/fares

YOU need to whine to EBY, the feds and the maritimes have no control over your provincial ferry service...no amount of whining or crying is going to change that....prices for tickets here in the maritimes are controlled buy the feds....all maritimers do is pay until that loan is paid out... I could say the same, want lower prices on your ferries tell carney to buy you some....instead of pointing the fingers at the maritimes, that had planed and prepared a business plan to which the feds approved.... And yet here we are hoping and praying for a pipeline for decades now....remember Justine told the nation there is no business case for LNG exports....and not a single dollar is spent on one...and here we sit listening to you guys cry about a small reduction in fees....while you have what 3 or 4 LNG terminals that have had federal dollars spent on........

Maybe it is impossible for you, goggle works for me, maybe our goggle is federal funded and that much better...It states like in the sources i provided how much federal funds where supplied to each project...and what type of funds where provided.... No, we are talking about BC not getting any funding for ferry services and the maritime getting theirs payed for by federal funds...which were loaned by the way, and are required to be paid back.... this reduction of services is available to ALL Canadians that use them....even turkeys like you in BC....it was done becasue Carney promised it....had he not done this everything in your world would be gravy right....How many BC projects are BC going to repay in the long run.... Yes we are entitled that is why the roads are paved in gold, and everyone here earns atleast what you guys in BC earn....federal government does one project in the maritimes and you guys actually lay down kicking and screaming...yelling where is our's like the nation was suppose to read your minds....i wonder if that was on EBY's project list to have the feds pay for our national energy corridor.......my guess is no , i bet no one even thought about it until the media reported it was happening in the maritimes...now like a bunch of children your all crying ,snot running down your faces. it's not a good look....and the rest of Canada is asking who is the entitled ones.... BC gets its fair share of federal funding , a lot more than the maritimes...and when you guys stop crying and wipe your noses and do some research you'll see that...

Yes Alberta's resources which brings revenue to ALL of the nation....which every BC er benefits.... Yes lets throw in ontario and quebec when we are talking about the maritimes...Are you saying BC ship builders are not getting any contracts....come on now your reaching for what 20 bucks on the bridge toll, and one hundard on a ferry crossing... Yes, becasue the maritimes is the center of the world we have everything we could ever want "were entitled" once again your reaching i don't see any export LNG terminals being built here in NB , i don't hear any martiomers pointing at the entitled BC'er and saying where is out terminals...Maybe you should write to carney , he is the guy you voted for and have it changed.... Like i said the maritimes got a loan for the bridge and is repaying whatever tax dollars was used....how much is bc tax payers being charged for all those LNG projects ? as for the ferries, the price of the tickets will pay off the ferries which are federal run as it should be.... ..... as well,just like your ticket price will pay off any finances used in its procurement got nothing to do with entitlement...this is about one coast thinking that every tax dollar spent in the maritimes should be matched in BC....it does not work like that or the maritimes would be swimming in projects....you guys are being petty EBY is not asking for anything he is whining about something so small it is actually funny....total cost of this campaign promise is less than 100 million.....all the funding poured in bc projects is worth more than that...and your still whining actually almost crying that the maritimes got something and we did not....At the end of the day, this is the guy you voted in....you need to talk to that guy....The maritimes asked and he delivered....did BC ask ? so why is this an issue....

So you agree Canada should recognize a terrorist state run by terrorist government . When has this ever been a good idea...or is it a vote grab....PP has already stated his opinion on this several times....
-
Well according to Aristides he thinks so,you guys need to get on the same page....BC is the on the extreme left side of the spectrum, very similar to California RTFO of there....If the conservatives win any election, BC would be a great place for a new rebirth of the right.... threats , what you going to do herbie put on your skates, and grab a hockey stick challenge them to a game of shinny, real rubber pucks, and no shin pads... ...you guys on the left talk a good game, but lousy on execution of any threat... Our Canada has gone to soft to respond to any threat....see ya at the center ice...

My bad your premier and others on here incorporate it all into one big package ....The price to purchase the ferries, and operate them in all incorporated into the ticket price....all the moneys received go back into federal coffers, and will until the feds say so...not sure how BC tax payers money is involved like i said provide a source that states BC is funding our ferry service....I've shown you plenty of sources where Federal tax dollars have funded BC projects...and not one maritimer has said hey WTF why is BC getting more than we are...and do it on national tv....yep that is a head slapping moment....
-
Do you know how big PEI is....5660 sq kms...population of 180 K ... and it is spread out over a vast area, mostly in rural areas. you should stick to what you know, this topic is not one of them, BC has many rural areas, and i'm sure each on of them have civil service...we'll let you know when it becomes an issue that we who live here can't solve...until then you stay in your backyard and we'll stay in ours...is there any other issues you think you out in BC can solve... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Edward_Island

Any federal funding that was received to build the bridge "1 bil cdn", is being repaid by the sale of tickets or tolls....and that will continue until the feds say it is done sometime in 2032 was an estimate....So no loss of any tax dollars, the price of upkeep is incorporated into the toll price...not sure where you got this project was being subsidized by BC..show us a source please... Again i will ask how many projects in BC has federal tax payers money been used...and when it was did you ever hear one maritimer speak up and say this is bullsh!t,....when do we get our share of the money....you and your Pemier are sounding like a bunch of whiny kids....afraid of not getting your share....when your getting a lot more than the maritimes combined... BC is not contribute SFA towards a ferry service in the maritimes it is a pay as you go, so unless you use that service your meaning BC tax payers are not paying anything...all that ticket price goes back into federal coffers, to repay loans from the federal government.... Canada is a mess but not because of this issue....

TMX was built to get resources to tide water, which generates tax dollars for ALL canadians to enjoy...Citizens of BC work at these sites and docks are paid good wages, more than what it is going to cost the federal government in lost revenue of reduced infrastructure tolls currently set about by Carney..., There is more to the federal investment of many of the projects in bc , that are not just tax breaks, (which like the reduction in our ferries and bridge are lost revenue to the country)....but rather grants or loans or long term investments, provided to companies or province....which are tax dollars... My point here is this bridge and ferry are kept running through fees....no bc tax dollars or any tax dollars are used in the running of these services, they are pay to use...Until the feds decide that debt is paid...they own it...they set the cost of a ticket....Carney can not set the price of a BC company....your complaint about BC tax dollars being used to subsidize maritime infrastructure is a moot point.... as the price of the tickets include the price to repay federal investment in these projects...All the ticket price goes back into federal coffers... https://whattovisitwheretotravel.com/how-much-does-the-confederation-bridge-cost/

you should be a breakaway province.... Instead your wasting our time with suggesting the maritimes be renamed, or "Canadians" regardless of province of origin using some FEDERAL infrastructure here in NB and NS , NFLD get a rebate...it is like you never got any federal assistance for your province ......send your whinney complaints to Carney....
-
My point is this, one is federal, the other is control by BC government, Can carney order a rebate on a provincial ferry service...NO he can't, he is keeping a campaign promise....EBY can order a reduction of , you barking up the wrong tree....I could see you complaint if it was worth 100's of millions or even billions....but it is not they are reducing the federal fairs,no funding out of anyone's budget....your whining about crumbs in respective to the Feds yearly spending...when BC itself has received bils in federal spending...sounds like your being petty.... Those reductions apply to any Canadian that uses these services regardless of what part of the country you come from...including BC....come visit the maritimes and you to can get the rebate.... For a guy that lives there you don't seem to know much about these projects....with atleast 3 major LNG projects,being operated in BC and bils of federal tax dollars being used....have you heard one maritimer complain...no we are happy your province is getting some investment....and yet a simple reduction in bridge and ferry tickets and you guys are freaking out....thanks for the support well coastal gas link ring a bell... https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/iisd-pipelines-subsidies-fossil-fuels-1.6090871 then the trans mountain pipeline which provides BC jobs...and off sets https://globalnews.ca/news/9839473/trans-mountain-pipeline-cost-overrun/ Kitmat plant. LNG Canada’s Phase 1 terminal, a massive investment initially pegged at roughly C$17–18 billion, has been underwritten by significant public sector backing at federal, provincial, municipal, and international levels. https://cleantechnica.com/2025/06/21/billions-in-subsidies-flow-to-lng-canada-as-kitimat-terminal-nears-launch/ https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/275m-federal-government-lng-canada-kitimat-1.4649654 https://vancouversun.com/business/tax-break-a-cash-windfall-for-potential-lng-developers-in-bc-ubc-professor

BS...revenues from pipeline enrich Canada as a whole, money is collected through taxes and provided back to you and your province.........it provides good paying jobs to bc residents and elsewhere in Canada... Maybe , you should be bring this up to EBY....he has control over bc ferries....ask him for a rebate....i can't believe you whining about a 20 dollar hand out to people that use the bridge or ferry...The feds can't give a rebate on BC ferries because it is provincial...send me you address and i'll send you the 20 bucks next time i go to PEI...and just so you know....anyone that uses those ferries or bridge gets the hand out they don't care if your from NWT or BC just another reason to come to the maritimes...as long as you don't stay we already have a problem with to many people from ontario...

BC is Canada's California, and trust me you don't want more of those people....but if you insist,we will take one Wayne Gretzky rookie card, and a written contract stating you are going to keep celine dion, nickelback, Justin Bieber, forever....and you have to put Quebec on the short list to be the 52 and

Atlantic ferries are FEDERAL....BC ferries are provincial.phone eby.......the bridge toll is 40 bucks it is now 20 bucks....the NFLD ferry is 12 hours long and you save a few hundred bucks on a return trip...just a question how many federal dollars did you get for your natural gas pipelines,or natural gas liquification plant or federal funds for forest fires...and i bet you never heard anything from the atlantic provinces about look what bc got and we missed out on......All of this was Carneys campaign promises, you should write him about your problem tell him how unfair it is...

As a guy that lives here in NB ,i say you should call it "blow me Canada"...you do know these provinces were the first in the nation, this nation was born here in Atlantic Canada.......you also know that there is only so many seats for MP's in the atlantic area....which means seats on any committee is limited according to population already........ And "Quebec" gets more transfer money than anyone else combined, anyone up for renaming Quebec....check out what each atlantic province gets and it is not very much.......Now if we could keep those mutts from Ontario out of the maritimes from buying up all the cheap housing driving up prices to more than doubled over the last 5 years, becasue they work from home now.......then they whine about there is nothing to do here ...."where is all the night life they ask" F*ck ya, this is the maritimes, not downtown toronto....we make our own entertainment with beer and firearms...... Good thing we are all united....on one team Canada, what is it that august says oh ya we all get along....well we did until you decided to rename the provinces, we don't ask for much........nope the ROC got nothing better to do than start renaming provinces after a few beers.... Acadia is the northern part of NB it is where "your not going to believe this " but acadians live there French speaking NB'ers, and the rest of Atlantic canada does not like the name not to fussy about acadians either they are all liberals, can't speak english or french............maybe we should rename the other provinces... i got some douseys for Ontario....So crawl back in your holes....there are much bigger problems in the country than renaming provinces... PS tell doug ford, to send a sh!t ton of buses to pick up all their people that moved here...send the bill to black bird....and the liberal party...

Canadian companies that sell products in the US will charge more to cover US tariffs,US consumers will pick another product that is cheaper, if Canada has no sales then people get laid off. SO yes Americans will pay for those tariffs if there is no US made product that will replace it that would work.But there is always another US product..That is where Canadian tariffs come into play,making US products to expensive so Canadians will be forced into finding an alternative product...punishing US companies...

They also contributed to most projects in BC...as they do with most provinces, regardless of how much they contribute to the provincial transfers....but this whole thing came out like a whine...they got it and we did not , we contribute to provincial handouts we should get the same... population wise not even close those ferries and bridges serve NB, NS, NFLD and PEI.... It was not an ask it was a whine...they just had a premiers meeting he could have asked then, i bet ya he has a phone right on his desk, with the PM phone number... insteads he goes on national TV and whines, i bet he waits a good long while before BC gets a discount, or a good talk from the PM, daddy probably not happy...
