@karleenasquires@PeterCBC My point is government intervention isn’t the answer to free market economics. We depend on the government too much. Our flights are expensive because we are a large country with a low population. The demand just isn’t there.
@karleenasquires@PeterCBC “Why isn’t the government doing anything?” That’s the problem right there we feed into depending on the government to swing in and save the day. Government shouldn’t interfere, let the market take care of itself. If a company goes bankrupt so be it.
@NTVNewsNL Maybe the public should start taking the law into their own hands. We created it why can’t we reinvent it. Same as government, we created it, what stops us from reinventing it.
Will the data in Saint Fitzy’s new disease tracking and panic-producing dashboard be any more accurate than the bullshit they feed us on data breaches and inappropriate access of our personal information by their nosey staff?
@uknowtheanswer Can we not find anyone more qualified for politics than some washed up retired news anchor. How about someone with a degree in Economics? This is worse than retired teachers running for politics. #nlpoli
@VOCMNEWS So one immigrant Ukrainian family gets the attention of the provincial government. Meanwhile its own grassroot residents are suffering homelessness and poverty. If this isn't virtu signaling I don't know what is. Your government doesn't care about you Newfoundland. #nlpoli

Canada's carbon tax scam.
This is a plot of Canada's per capita carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions up to 2021. Emissions peaked 18.5 tonnes/person in 2000, and have been in decline ever since.
Under Harper, Canada's emissions dropped to 15.5 tonnes/person. That's a 16.2% reduction in 10 years, down to pre-1970 levels.
Trudeau introduced his carbon tax in 2016, and it's fair to say that it did nothing for 3 years. The reduction that occurred in 2020 and 2021 is entirely due to COVID and the slow down in the economy. Canada's emissions currently sit at 14.3 t/yr/person, and are increasing slightly.
Trudeau's plan calls for an increase in the carbon tax rate to a whopping $170/tonne by 2030. It's currently set at $65/t. An individual that emits 10 tonnes/year would still face a $1,700 tax bill in 2030.

I don't know how @Gamegenic_ feels about people customizing their deck boxes but I had to paint a little Mordor theme for Sauron the Dark Lord #Edh#MTGxLOTR
@LollyGagger22 @PeterCBC Haggie just continually practices denial politics. Completely dismissive of real problems. If anyone should be ousted from cabinet it should be him. At least he is in a place now where he can’t do any real damage.
Honey harvest time!🍯 People often ask how I extract honey from the frames in my backyard hive. It takes several hours, but here’s a short video about my process …
@VOCMNEWS The reality is there is a Diesel shortage in North America. This is mainly due to the fact that the majority of domestic North American production is light crude which North American refineries are not designed to refine. Good for exports but bad for domestic sustainability.
@CharlieLight14@VOCMNEWS Ya bud, I don’t like the liberals either but this is the result of printing money and not the party in power. Check out the book The Deficit Myth on Audible. Great listen and relative to todays blunders.
