Trumpy thinks they can eliminate income taxes due to tariff income...

"Offsetting the revenue from individual income taxes would require over $2.5 trillion a year in tariff collections, more than 10 times what the government actually took in during the last fiscal year."

Good heavens man.

Kinda true.
No private company will build it because there's simply no business case. The only way it gets built is with public dollars which I don't see happening soon 🤞
Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

Remember when people thought he wasn't good at politics? www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/27/o...

Should have at least required Alberta to put in the same remediation deposit they require for solar projects.
You can pretend they already do this with their industry fund but we all have seen how well that works (not at all).

A surprise to nobody who regularly walks or cycles. The speeding and running of red lights and stop signs is nuts. I'm not talking about running a blushing yellow light. People are running full on reds constantly on my daily walks to work.
No enforce.

Why not? Allow it but have the initial gains tax be applied on top of the taxes for the sale if they later turn around and sell within a decade or so.

Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, & homelessness is now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if political ideology doesn’t stand in the way.

Chambers if Commerce: "you need to incentivise businesses because their tax revenues drive everything."

Cities: "ok here's free land and we will pay 30% of your construction."

COCs: also we can't pay taxes.

This squirrel is using my poorly managed leaves to build a nest. My toddler loves it.
He keeps running from the leaf pile to the tree, to the neighbour across the street tree then back again with loads of leaves.
