Lifelong Canuck, but have lived in the USA and Europe.

Listening to Mr Andrew Oland regarding the hit to Moosehead beer being tariffed as exported to the USA, the writing was on the wall was it not? As Canadian liquor boards pulled US booze, except for the Maple MAGA kingdoms of Alberta and Saskatchewan, a hit to Canadian booze was inevitable.

The cheapest new car in Oz is an EV! Destroyed the myth that EVs are only for “the rich”. If you don’t want to buy new. The second hand market is full of far cheaper EVs.

From CBC, Canada imports more than we export to the EU! How shocking! According to Pedolph Shitler, we should be tariffing the ass off them. “We imported about $92 billion worth of goods from the EU last year and exported about $39 billion, according to Statistics Canada.”

#Trumplies about 400% dairy tariffs Canada charges for imported dairy above certain quota. USA has never paid any tariff. The following from AI compares the two systems. Although Canadian retail appears higher, when all US subsidies are included, the final price of dairy is very similar.

#Trumplies “Canada is very difficult to deal with”. What does he mean? This has nothing to do with “subsidy” or “trade deficit” or “fentanyl” or “forced labour” he is always on about. It’s simply a bully trying to overwhelm and destroy his neighbour because he covets what they have.

#Poilievre says Conservatives just want free trade with the USA. I don’t have security clearance but I do know that Trump wants tariff free access to Canadian markets but wants Canada to pay tariffs for access to the US market. One sided which is why we walked. What a buffoon.

#LakeOntario you would think that both Google and Apple would be able to get this right. The name of the lake should be Lake Ontario on the Canadian side of the boundary line and Lake America on the US side of the boundary line. Domestic water names can be changed by the regional authority.

#gasprices given we’ve hit $2.27/L on the west coast, time to watch for your oil stock dividend cheque. If the consumer carbon tax and federal excise tax were still in place, gas would be closing in on $2.60/L. Diesel would be over $3.00/L. Even Trump knows the O&G companies are ripping us off.

Interprovincial trade barriers with respect to alcohol clearly demonstrate we are lead by greedy incompetent idiots. Everyone, anywhere within Canada should be able to order alcohol from any Canadian producer if that product is for personal use. How can this be so difficult?

So Journey’s keyboard player Johnathan Cain has told Bruce Springsteen to lay off #Trump and stay out of politics. Great advice from the guy who’s married to the televangelist Paula White-Cain a former, and this is not made up, spiritual advisor to the Grifter in Chief.

Plug in solar is coming to California, why don’t we have it in British Columbia? BC Hydro could set standards and approve this approach in a matter of weeks.

#Poilievre so Premier Smith is getting security clearance for CSIS briefing but the whiny little guy from Battle River Crowfoot does not. How can he function as Opposition without a security clearance?

#Poilievre presser just declared his way to get Canadian resources to primarily the Asian market is to fast track distribution systems by ignoring/repealing 2019 C-69, allow tankers on north BC coast. Canadians of all cultures, including First Nations do not support this. How will it be done?

#TrumpLies He just claimed the price of gasoline is as low as $1.98/G. That is the RBOB product price - Wholesale, unfinished gasoline. This is like saying the price of new car is based on a vehicle with no windows or wheels. RBOB product is a component of retail gasoline.

Oil company rip-off lower mainland BC? On Mar 31 the oil company retail take was $1.07/L. On Apr 2 the retail take was over $1.17. Consumers were to get almost $0.19 discount for the CT+GST. Oil company take in Kelowna and PG is only $1.03/L - the interior got 14 cents off! Ask Gas Buddy Why!

Tired of the PP ads running where he rips off the Joe Canada rant, I’m really learning to hate this guy. So tired of his “lost decade”, “radical left” etc… BS.

Dani Smith must act on behalf of the country, certainly not hurt Alberta which is her first priority, but still join team Canada. Oil flows to the USA and she doesn’t want to stop that, most Canadians don’t want to stop that flow. Stop working poolside at MAGA-A-Lardo and act like a Canadian.

The Orange Tariff Turd hits again with misinformation, or more accurately, lies. $200B subsidy is BS, it is $45B trade deficit in Canada’s favour, due largely to the things the dipstick says the USA does not need, oil and gas, electricity, cars and car parts, steel and AL, potash etc. #Trumplies

Listening to Trump sitting there saying Canada has a $200B deficit is #Trumplies. It is more like $45B and if the USA didn’t buy $120B of Canadian O&G, I guess by his rules we would subsidize the US. What a buffoon. Can’t believe CEOs are not on the phone to their RINO congressmen and senators.

Trump signed an EO that halts birthright citizenship. He said the US is the only country that allows birthright citizenship. Canada and much of the Americas allows birthright citizenship including something Trump does not respect - The US Constitution. #Trumplies
