Canada’s gonna swing the same way next year so you’re not really escaping from anything anyways
Do you think that this is an import from the US kind of thing, or more of a global trend?
Definitely seems like a global trend.
Agreed.
Yeah the Trump win is only gonna help conservatives..I really hate them and their leader, but Trudeau has shit the bed for so long that people are just sick of him
The Liberals are admittedly a stale 3 day old cheap deli sandwich. People want something warm, fresh, and organic. Conservatives check all of those boxes.
Too bad it's horseshit.
Skippy will axe the carbon tax which honestly will make people like him enough to ignore some of the... other things he will do. That will lower prices of everything, maybe not to the levels of the beforetime because corpos won't let that free profit disappear but it will make life easier for many.
Removing the carbon tax won't appreciably lower the price of anything for any amount of time. It won't make life easier for average Canadians because the average Canadian gets that money back. We'll have the same prices, the same unachievable cost of living, but with fewer social supports.
The free market has never once chosen morality over profit. Year after year we've proven we can suffer through it, so there is no motivation to change.
My guess is you don't have a diesel vehicle or heat with furnace oil because let me tell you, what I get back doesn't even come close to how much I'm spending. It's a joke, now think of all the farmers, transport companies, they're getting a fraction of what they're spending on fuel , and all of that gets passed down the line. There's a reason the Maritimes got a break on the carbon tax, it's made heating with oil very expensive. And Diesel is taxed higher than that.
If you don't think the cost of goods went up when it cost more to produce the food, and ship the food...
Already swung super anti-immigration as of earlier this year, so the move to Canada plan isn't going to be as easy either
Canada will need to build a giant moat of syrup.
It will drown americans attempting to cross after their diabetic coma hits and they submerge in a sugary tomb.
Like Titanic meets Wall-E.
But I’m one of the good ones!
