    That doesn’t apply when the item has ongoing costs like a land value tax. People don’t bid up items that return a negative value. This is why cars go down in value over time. A high enough land value tax is the same as a government rent amount, but still allows for individual ownership and the benefits thereof (like being able to make changes to the property)

    “People with disabilities would receive an extra 6,000 a year.” As someone on ODSP, I would strongly appreciate this happening. The federal Disability Benefit is only accessible to those who got accepted for the Disability Tax Credit, and being on ODSP, it’s like every little thing happens each month to warrant that 100 dollars I gotta pay my doctor to fill it out being inaccessible to me. Also lets be real here— a weeks worth of groceries sacrificed for the mere possibility of getting 250 a month is nice and all, but I’d rather not have another week where I’m too exhausted to do anything because my diet isn’t kept in check. At least in July, ODSP recipients are getting roughly 40 dollars extra!

    Does that take inflation into account? Would seem like closer to negative if not?

    the fact Not a fact. that him He and the liberal party made things expensive with greenwashing. Carbon tax - go see the numbers - meant a bump of 3% on groceries, max. If your gas went up, go talk to your gasoline guy. If your avocados went up, go talk to Galen. People who study this as a job will still maintain a carbon benefit is the best way to indirectly shift a country so it doesn’t wreck the atmosphere as much; like, there are no great ideas people will accept, but this is a mediocre one that people who can do math will accept.

    So, are you a bot, or a liar? Because Carney was still in England when the carbon tax was implemented. You can not like the Liberals, you can not like the carbon tax, and you cannot like Carney, but it’s deeply and openly dishonest to link Carney to the tax.

    That’s not nation building, though. “Be only as others see you” is pretty toxic advice at any level.

    A few years ago, Li-Cycle was one of the biggest players in electric vehicle battery recycling in North America, providing a roadmap to a circular, sustainable economy for electric vehicles. But just last month, the Toronto-based company filed for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. and Canada after years of struggling to get a facility off the ground in Rochester, N.Y. The company said the planned hub would have been able to extract lithium and other critical minerals from recycled material to actually build new EV batteries — a crucial step that North American recyclers haven’t achieved on a commercial scale yet. The bankruptcy is a sign, some experts say, that the market can’t sustain the industry without proper government regulation providing incentives and structure.

    A family of raccoons recently broke into an Airbus factory in Canada, adding an unusual headache to the planemaker’s more familiar troubles with parts shortages and supply chain snags. Five of the baby mammals were found inside the plant near Montreal, which produces A220 airliners, sources told Reuters, after their mother was spotted climbing the landing gear of a jet being produced for a European airline. A second source said damage included urine and chewed wires. Workers on the overstretched assembly line had to be pulled off normal jobs to undertake the time-consuming task of quarantining the first jet and inspecting for damage from the furry intruders, which are known for foraging in trash cans for food.

    I’m confused at the nickname, I didn’t think he was the one who said carbon tax 3 times a paragraph. Can you explain it?

    That was an interesting rabbit hole. Wild that that rebellion was organized by William Lyon MacKenzie but he only faced a short prison stint in the US, while two farmers that participated because they wanted democratic reforms ended up hanged for it. They ended up martyrs for democratic change and likely contributed to the eventual sovereignty of Canada 30 years later.

    “If you’re that 20, to 25, to 30 year [age], you’re experiencing something that we’ve never really experienced before.” Laroque said the question of whether this year is abnormal is relative. “It’s in the more recent past, this is normal,” Laroque said. “This is our new normal.” He said if he were to ask someone his grandfather’s age, or his father’s age, they would find it “very unusual” to have forest fires this early. “These are things that we traditionally saw more in June, July and later summer, when everything dried out and then the fires took off,” Laroque said. Saskatchewan is making its way out of a relatively dry period. Few places had snow for long periods of time over winter. In the past, “snowpacks” would take time to fully melt and trickle into the ground as it warmed up. This would recharge the moisture of the soil. “What’s happening the last few years is that we go from a relatively cold period of time and one or two days later it’s plus 22 [C],” Laroque explained. The extreme back-and-forth causes the snow to melt rapidly while the ground stays frozen, not allowing the snow to fully sink into the soil. Laroque said most of the snow ends up evaporating, causing “instant drought,” similar to what the province experienced in spring 2024.
