I took this photo last September during the salmon run where the Grizzlies were stocking up for the winter. I love this image of an old griz looking for salmon in the river.
@BouchieTorres@ikwilson You sir are a very shallow thinker. Quebec, the largest recipient of transfer payments has favorable calculations on their hydro electricity income AND they refuse to use the natural gas under their feet.
Examples of Over-Quota Tariffs (from CBSA schedules, recent/2025 data; similar in 2026)Here are representative rates (specific HS codes have "within access" vs. "over access" lines):
https://t.co/UGCeiyNPYr
Fluid milk/cream (e.g., fat content β€1% or 1β6%): ~241% (but not less than ~$34.50/hl).
Higher-fat cream (>6β10% or >10%): Up to 292.5% (plus specific minimums per kg).
Milk powder (e.g., fat β€1.5%): ~201.5% (but not less than ~$2.01/kg).
Milk/cream powder (higher fat): Up to 243% or 295.5%.
Butter: Often ~298% (one of the highest).factcheck.org
Cheese: ~245%.
Other products (yogurt, whey, etc.) range from ~200β314% in extreme https://t.co/UjMKF2iIay
@Victori49569624@MelissaLMRogers Wrong Tori, the US has been kept from certain industries by the Canadian government (i.e. dairy) by extremely high tarrifs imposed on US products. Trump has simply said that two can play at that game.
@BouchieTorres@ikwilson While you are correct that we do not pay equalization payments, the rest of your comment is false. On a per capita basis Albertans pay far more taxes and at a higher rate than the rest of the country, all due to the high paying jobs in the O&G industry.
The Alberta independence question is here.
The goal remains a clear vote on a clear question, but the path may now require strategy, discipline, and a process that can survive legal challenge.

@JPCote60@JeffreyRWRath@ABDanielleSmith Give your head a shake. We do NOT live in a democracy when my Alberta vote is worth 67% of a vote in the Maritimes. There is zero equal representation in Alberta as compared to back East.
@johnfhuizing@cd_lmh@coreyhoganyyc So very true. There are many other reasons why exiting Canada is a good idea.
Better treatment of our elderly
Better justice system without corrupt judges
Higher CPP payments
Etc, etc, etc
