The bread price-fixing scandal cost Canadians an estimated $5 billion. Most of us are receiving about $50, at most. If that $5 billion were distributed evenly across Canada's population, the amount would be roughly $125 per Canadian.
Apparently, somewhere along the way, about $75 per person went missing.
Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "Where did they get it?"
Activist: "What?"
Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere."
Activist: "From... eating?"
Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it."
Activist: "The soil?"
Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from."
Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it."
Activist: "Then just don't have the cow."
Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle."
Activist: "It's not that simple."
Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."
Deeper integration, but also, more reliance is a weakness. That said, we need a new security and economic partnership, yet, we need to look to middle powers and China for the new world order. Keeping in mind, the United States is our most important ally, at the same time, they're a hegemonic power who doesn't share our values. Albeit, we have the best trade deal already, however, Trump will ignore any deal so getting one doesn't matter so much.
I do hope that clarifies things. #cdnpoli
@NorthrnPrspectv@mogrant61 He and the party he is currently leading are the Teflon Kings and queens, nothing sticks. The rules don’t apply to them. It’s hard to even care anymore.
@brianlilley My Dad loved that beer. We always raise a glass on his Birthday. When he happened to have one before noon he mixed it with tomato juice 🍺 😜
The Prime Minister’s video is another illusion.
He says he wants a permanent rupture with our biggest customer while he keeps 90% of his personal investments in the U.S.
He has doubled the deficit, negotiated no new free trade deals with any other country, approved no pipelines, and given Canada the worst food inflation, the worst household debt, the worst housing costs, and the only shrinking economy in the G7.
Fear is not a plan. We must reverse Liberal taxes, deficits, and anti-resource laws so we can be affordable, safe, and strong at home.
