Gas hasn't gone up yet around here... it hasn't gone down either.

You aint got a federal carbon tax that went up twenty five percent overnight.

Gasoline dropped 11 cents a litre in the Czuk. Everywhere else in Canada it went up happy April Fool's Day Canada. Thanks True Dope.

We got relief today, but the rest of the country got a slap in the face.

I don't know how much gasoline went up here. I'll find out tomorrow when I fill up.

As Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland puts the finishing touches on her 2022-23 budget to be unveiled Thursday, she should focus on a report predicting Canada's economic growth is poised to be dead last among advanced countries for four decades.



Highlighted recently by the Business Council of B.C., the report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development paints a dismal picture of Canada's real GDP growth per capita up to 2060, largely because of weak labour productivity.



Productivity is driven by businesses investing in new technologies, making work more efficient, thus increasing economic output, a key driver of living standards for Canadians.



David Williams, vice-president of policy at the B.C. Business Council, wrote recently that the OECD report predicts Canada's real GDP growth per capita from 2020-30 will be just 0.7% annually, dead last among the 38 comparable nations of the OECD.



It doesn't get much better after that, with the OECD pegging Canada's growth per capita from 2030-60 at 0.8% annually, again last among OECD members.

It's depressing, but I'm not surprised.

This did not have to be. Trudy's "airy fairy" priorities) all of which hurt the country economically) are 100 % the cause of Canada's economic failures



Without his country-destructive priorities, Canada has the resources, the people, the science etc, (all of the elements) to be a leader if not in fact "the" leader

We traded all of that for climate leadership.

I don't have a problem with vegetarians so long as they don't impose their dietary choices on everybody.

Vegans make me wonder what's up with these "impossible" burgers and sandwiches. If you're a vegan that doesn't like meat why would you eat something that tastes like meat?

That's a good point. They do tend to be a tad bonkers & contradictory ... much less most commonly general judgmental pains

They like the taste, but they are morally opposed to eating any animals.
