@ray_vautier@B_E_Bishop@cheswest4161 Unfit drinking water is kind of our thing in NL, has been for years. Staggering to see how far back some of those issues go. Decades.
@stressdoutkay@kerriclaireneil That's the hard part, how do we indeed. When you see the government in NWT operating you can't help but be jealous. They come from all sorts of backgrounds, they work efficiently and they're all on the same team - Team People.
@AnnKimberly05 @CBCNL That's why I'm disappointed they're not directing revenues from this into make healthy choices more affordable. If both healthy and unhealthy are the same price and you go unhealthy, THEN its on you.
@BugofWeek@B_E_Bishop I drive a truck, I can park it on a dime and never had a speeding ticket (gas is too expensive to be flooring it anyway lol). Shitty drivers come in all makes and models! Had a Tesla almost put me out in the weeds earlier this week because they couldn't merge.
@B_E_Bishop@cheswest4161 Definitely. This whole thing was a bit of a bungle from the timing, to messaging to actual delivery and aftermath. In the end it just looks like a tax grab with no discernable benefit to anyone's actual health. Otherwise, the health minister would've been announcing it?๐ค
@B_E_Bishop@AnthonyGermain CBC gets funded by our tax dollars so maybe the b'ys are looking for new revenue streams. hahaha Yes, yes, I know, they get federal taxes and this is a provincial thing, relax b'ys I'm just poking a bit of fun. ๐
@AnthonyGermain Everything in moderation. My grandmother was healthy as a horse until she died at 96, and she often ate canned meats, salt fish and salt beef which the hoidy toidy's among us would label "unhealthy" and she barely saw a fresh veggie or fruit beyond the basics.
