If or when all Canadian airlines switch to biofuels, whether willingly or by legislation, air travel will most certainly become much more expensive than it is now, and it's already expensive.

I am Groot Posted April 2 Report Posted April 2 21 hours ago, ExFlyer said: Actually it was Harper that made trade difficult with anyone but China. Prime Minister Stephen Harper pursued a strategic economic partnership with China, culminating in the 2012–2014 ratification of the "Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement" (FIPA) and various natural resource agreements. While emphasizing trade over human rights concerns, Harper aimed to diversify markets for Canadian resources. Harper did his best to ignore China entirely. I was around then, you see. Apparently, you hadn't yet been born and this was distant history you read in a book somewhere. But I remember the continuous criticism from the Liberals, BQ and NDP of his ignoring China, of his refusing to go over there and kiss the ring, of how our industries needed Chinese favour. He ignored them unilt the gang of three tried a putsche due to him not spending enough money as the recession hit. Then he started spending big, and agreed to meet with China and talk business. 21 hours ago, ExFlyer said: Under Trudeau, Canada became the only G7 nation with free trade agreements with all other G7 members. Most of them were negotiated under previous governments or were just completions of negotiations that were already underway when they took power. 21 hours ago, ExFlyer said: Carney is in now way trying to replace American Trade, he is supplementing , at best, any trade we may lose as a result of American actions and trying to establish new ones. Not possible without greatly expanding our ports, which he is not doing. Quote "A civilization is not destroyed by wicked men; it is destroyed by weak men who cannot defend what is good.” — G. K.

Goddess Posted April 2 Report Posted April 2 Why Carney won't say anything about forced labor. Canada has been flagged by international organizations for not just participation in forced labor, via the TFW program and mass immigration, but for actually setting up the system to make it so. He did the same thing in Brazil.

Was this food inflation significantly worse than all the rest of the G7 back then? By the way, it's increased 46% under Trudeau.

Inflation under conservative government was fairly minor. And it was extremely short-lived Inflation under the liberals has lasted for half a decade and is extreme. We never saw a year after year of 7 and 8% food increase in pricing the way we do Everyone remembers harper's time, everyone remembers that they could easily afford food. Everyone now realizes they can't. What the left likes to try and pretend is that a small amount of temporary inflation which is corrected quickly is the same as massive amounts of inflation that go on indefinitely If you having to lie to make your point 2 Quote "That which doesn't kill me...

Goddess Posted April 2 Report Posted April 2 You can use this website to look at Global Affairs spending, by country, by year, by cause. Some highlights: Govt data files will show a recipient as Simon Fraser University in BC However, if SFU is spending the money on a project in China, its actually money destined for China There is 1,192 spending records of our taxes being spent in China, totaling $93 million dollars One of the largest entries is Refugee spending, but its a bit dishonest Global Affairs details all its spending on Refugees, except they are inside Canada In 8 years there has been $6.4 billion tax dollars spent on refugees INSIDE Canada, but shown as foreign affairs spending You can search for specific organizations to see how Canada is helping fund terrorist connected organizations like UNRWA A quick look shows $211 million in tax dollars given to UNRWA, to be spent in places like Syria for reason like Gender equality Government lists many programs under Gender Equality You can search for those too - in 8 years Canada gave away $35 billion tax dollars to foreign countries around the world under the guise of "Gender" 1 Quote "There are two different types of people in the world - those who want to know and those who want to believe." ~~ Friedrich Nietzsche ~~

Goddess Posted April 2 Report Posted April 2 Via L Wayne Matheson: Freedom in Canada doesn’t collapse with tanks. It fades more quietly. A new rule here. A “temporary” program there. Another national strategy. After a while, you wake up and realize the space to decide for yourself has been quietly fenced in. That’s the shift. The old tyrannies demanded obedience. The modern version asks for compliance in the name of compassion. Sounds nicer. Same direction. This is where the Liberal Party of Canada approach fits perfectly. Every problem gets a centralized solution. Housing shortages? Federal coordination. Energy costs? Federal planning. Industrial decline? Government picking winners. Speech tensions? Social pressure to fall in line. Each piece sounds reasonable. Stack them together and choice shrinks. Enter Mark Carney, the polished manager of this worldview. Banker calm. Global language. Net-zero frameworks. Industrial policy talk. It’s presented as sophisticated governance. What it really does is move decisions upward. Citizens become clients. Businesses become compliance departments. Regions become case studies. The irony is predictable. The loudest supporters are often insulated from the consequences. Consultants, academics, policy professionals. People who don’t lose jobs when projects are cancelled. People who don’t close shops when compliance costs rise. They design the system. Others live inside it. No single policy looks authoritarian. That’s why it works. A subsidy here. A mandate there. A regulation layered on top. Individually compassionate. Collectively constraining. Freedom doesn’t get crushed. It gets managed. The media helps. A crisis appears. A simple solution gets amplified. Critics get framed as heartless. Another lever gets pulled. Few step back and ask what the total adds up to. History already ran this experiment. Fascism promised order. Communism promised equality. Both concentrated power and crushed dissent. Today’s version promises sustainability, fairness, and coordination. Different tone. Same structural risk. Power flows upward. Accountability thins out. Canada’s danger isn’t an obvious dictator. It’s the slow accumulation of well-meaning control under leaders who believe they know best. That’s the direction the Liberals and Carney point toward. Not dramatic. Not loud. Just steady tightening. This isn’t leadership. It’s management of your life dressed up as progress. Stop judging each promise in isolation. Ask what happens when you add twenty of them together. 1 1 Quote "There are two different types of people in the world - those who want to know and those who want to believe." ~~ Friedrich Nietzsche ~~

Goddess Posted April 2 Report Posted April 2 Via Lionel Talbot: (Nice to see some boomers "get" it.) I wrote a piece yesterday (in French) addressing the reasons that motivated Carney to become Prime Minister of Canada. They were mostly personal (Brookfield). This was one of the comments I received: “I don’t care why, but just the fact that he stands up to Trump and that this orange madman is angry with Carney, I’m satisfied.” Unfortunately, this is how the majority of Canadians feel. If Trump was the evil person the media depicted him to be, how did he win a convincing majority even though 90% of media coverage on him was negative while 85% on Kamala was positive? Don’t give me the “Americans are stupid” bullshit. Libtards still haven’t figured this out, proof that TDS actually exists. People need to stop blaming Trump. The day Canadians realize Trump isn’t the villain he’s portrayed as will mark the beginning of the end for Carney and the Liberals. Canada’s emotional rage toward Trump and his allies isn’t good for the country, but it has benefited the Liberal Party. The Liberals knew they couldn’t campaign on a decade of failures, corruption, and economic decline. With the help of subsidized media, they focused instead on Trump and his team. The country is plunging into recession, but that doesn’t matter. Canadians would follow Carney off a cliff if they thought it would give Trump the finger. The Liberals have made hatred of Donald Trump their entire personality. Canadians are easily manipulated and haven’t yet woken up to reality. If they devoted even a fraction of their rage against Trump to demanding competence from their own government, this country would be in far better shape. I’m most concerned about the bill that future generations—my children and grandchildren—will have to pay for the legacy we boomers are leaving them. 7 minutes ago, eyeball said: Does it make you seeth to be stopped at a red light when there's no cross traffic in sight? ☝️ Stalin's chicken ☝️ You think this is about traffic lights?

Is the monstrous amount of money in your estimation even bigger than the bonanza windfall profits oil and gas companies are realizing as a result of the war in Iran? Sure it is. And you don't like it so you ignore the answer. Oil companies earn the money they earn. The gov't is taking money without giving anything in return . So of we're talking 'bonanza' being a sudden increase in actual wealth the gov't's take is far larger given the fact it's COMPLETELY unearned. And the fact is the gov't taxes the oil solid so no matter what they're going to do better. As to your question, if you want more specific comparisons: The Canadian federal government collects billions of dollars annually through its carbon pollution pricing program (about 6 billion) The us oil companies MIGHT make a few billion from the current prices, but have real risks of similar losses after the war is over as we have seen happen before. So either way the Canadian gov't is coming out ahead 1 Quote "That which doesn't kill me... Had better start running."

Unfortunately it is you who frequently has absolutely no idea what anyone else is talking about, you get confused and then you get angry And as has been told to you a million times, that's not everyone else's fault that's your fault But as usual you ignore the science, you ignore the references, ignore everything else that doesn't fit into your ideology and then you want everything to be someone else's fault The carbon tax puts us an extensive amount of inflation on our food. Food should be at about 2% inflation normally, for other countries right now it's about 3% due to worldwide and other pressures, we're at about 7% depending on the month. How about 1 to 2% of that is due to 'carbon tax' related taxes etc. About another 1 to 2% is due to government policies other than fuel and energy taxes As a result here we are with the highest food inflation by far of any G7 nation month after month. It's really not hard to work out. Was that reply too long?
