Liberals lied on the carbon tax, according to Statistics Canada data

really
a decade of failure is not quite enough for butler 1000

Are you outdoing that with more than a decade of failed climate predictions?

 

[JohnLarue]

Like I said. A strongly worded letter will fix things. Better get on it!

that is almost as offensive as your ignorant / divisive and really stupid quisling comment

your man Carney won the election via deceit
He won and has the job
His actions going forward will determine how long he survives
if fails to deliver , the electorate will not forget he won via deceit

 

[boobtoucher]

FYI the US democrats will soon be asking why they opposed Elon Musks DOGE efforts

I mean, mostly because they did a lot of economic damage and didn't actually save any money.

they were not permitted to act as needed

you will view this as a victory however , you are just kicking the can down the road , a road which is getting shorter and shorter

there will be a need to reduce the entitlement spending, social security, Medicaid, Medicare , welfare

this is a simple fact of mathematics

 

[boobtoucher]

they were not permitted to act as needed

By whom? Repubs control the house, senate, presidency, and supreme court. Who was preventing DOGE from "acting as needed"?

DOGE was always a grift to dismantle agencies who were holing Elon to account. Do you really think 19-year-old BIGBALLS was the best guy, in a country of 340 million, to audit government spending?

Since when was usaid holding Elon musk to account?

the left will freak when cuts are required for entitlement spending, social security, Medicaid, Medicare , welfare
and the left should regret not fining spending cuts elsewhere as doge was attempting to do

 

[boobtoucher]

the courts

The courts enforce the law. So you're saying is that DOGE's actions were illegal, and you support illegal activities?

The legislative and executive branches are both republican controlled and couldn't be arsed to pass laws to empower DOGE. This is a republican failure of governance.

please do not pretend you are so naive not to understand how the us court system is politized

the bottom line is government waste spending has been out of control for decades and the bill is coming due

the 36 trillion debt accumulated by the us govt over its 240 year history is going to double in the next 9 years under status quo
20% of all us govt revenues are spent servicing the interest on that massive debt

the us govt is on a very slippery slope towards insolvency
a us govt insolvency will cause a world wide depression, not a recession, but a depression

doge was trying to prevent this
the loonie left fought doge tooth and nail

i am sure you will feel better when entitlement spending, social security, Medicaid, Medicare , welfare is slashed to the bone simply because there will be noone willing to buy new treasuries and thus no money will be available to payout for entitlements ,
you will argue that is illegal while ignoring the reality of empty govt coffers

I'm not arguing what is legal or illegal. I'm not a US judge.

If DOGE believed what it was doing was legal, it could have fought to the supreme court, which has already made Trump a god-king.

If DOGE's actions SHOULD have been legal, the house should have passed laws to support DOGE's work.

Lol. MAGA get those "entitlements" more. Look at state transfers. Once they get their own benefits cut it will be fun to watch.

And the big beautiful bill adds 3 trillion. That doesn't sound very responsible.

Yup. That's what I've been saying. I figure he has a year.

And so long as you want to take the US side on trade negotiations by dismantling supply chain the quisling comment stands as truth. It's a national security issue to protect our food supply and farmers from foreign multinationals.

Did you learn nothing during the pandemic? Look at what not having drug manufacturing did to us. Now you want to hand over FOOD?

All govt spending needs to able to withstand an audit

are audits of government spending mandatory in the usa?

Yes, audits of government spending in the USA are mandatory for many federal programs and organizations. While there are exceptions, the general rule is that government spending is subject to oversight, including audits, to ensure accountability and transparency.

i never claimed it was

i suspect the doge savings were expected to offset the tax cuts in big beautiful bill
now the savings will need to come from entitlement spending, social security, Medicaid, Medicare , welfare

]Yup. That's what I've been saying. I figure he has a year.

no he can not wait for a year
we need a deal very soon

WRF is wrong with you
lose the quisling insults you ignorant fool

your acting a fool does not make you any more patriotic than the next Canadian
so get rid of that nonsense

you have not been paying attention
Canada has been chipping away with supply management for decades. it is not a national security issue and it is an anti free trade protectionism practise
quotas and price fixing is not free trade
we need to ensure we maintain a softwood lumber, aluminum , steel and auto sector

Did you learn nothing during the pandemic? Look at what not having drug manufacturing did to us. Now you want to hand over FOOD?

wrong
Trudeau did a dirty deal with the rat bastard Chinese communists that blew up in his face

our farmers can compete and win
you say they can not

any system that requires valuable food to be poured down the drain while Canadians are getting hammered by food inflation is a broken system

Canadian dairy farmers dump enough milk each year to feed 4.2 million people, study says

OTTAWA — Canadian dairy farmers sent more than 6.8 billion litres of surplus milk down the drain between 2012 and 2021, a rate of milk-dumping higher than the U.S. and other major dairying countries. That’s the estimation of researchers who compared the total milk production of Canada’s national dairy herd with the actual amount of milk that goes out the farm gate.

The recently published study — by Dalhousie University food professor Sylvain Charlebois and academic colleagues in Michigan and Denmark — concluded that plenty of milk “vanished” from Canadian dairy farms as producers dumped it to avoid exceeding their supply-management quotas. The quantity of wasted milk, between 6.8 billion and 10 billion litres over 10 years, would be worth $14.9 billion, fill over 2,700 Olympic-sized swimming pools and feed 4.2 million people annually.

The lost milk is equivalent to 7 % of Canada’s milk production. That exceeds the on-farm milk-dumping rate in the U.S. (up to 0.5 %), Sweden (0.3 %), Finland (0.5 %), Scotland (1.8 %) and France (3.5 %), according to the research. Canada is the only country left in the world with a supply-managed dairy sector.

Milk dumping last made a media splash in February 2023 when Southwestern Ontario dairy farmer Jerry Huigen went viral with a video of himself gushing wasted milk onto the barn floor. Dairy farmers are told “just throw it down the drain. Nobody sees it, it’s OK,” Huigen complained in the social media post. “Well, it’s not OK.”

Charlebois told Farmers Forum that the video inspired his co-authors to contact him about studying the phenomenon in Canada. Because data on discarded milk is not collected in this country, the professor and his colleagues took a year to estimate the milk losses. They estimated the annual milk output of the national herd, based on cow numbers, and then subtracted milk sales volume figures published by Statistics Canada.

I enjoy how you keep saying "tree, tree, tree." and never see the forest.

All government spending is ALREADY audited. DOGE didn't audit, they just cut.

i suspect the doge savings were expected to offset the tax cuts in big beautiful bill
now the savings will need to come from entitlement spending, social security, Medicaid, Medicare , welfare

you're actually laying out the grift. "Oh, we tried with DOGE and it didn't work, now we have to cut social spending"

It was designed to fail so that MAGA cultists will bend over and thank Trump for cutting their supports.

bullshit, if government spending was properly audited and controlled there would not be a 36 trillion pile of govt debt

do you have any ideal how ridiculous your position is?

It was designed to fail so that MAGA cultists will bend over and thank Trump for cutting their supports.

what part of this is beyond your comprehension?
is it the big numbers, $36 trillion?
is the 20% of govt revenue something you can not grasp ?

do you not understand what insolvency means ?

please lets us know, so that you can be helped

Your original comment about the word initiate having two meanings in my response made no sense anyway.
I asked you how the word initiate in my question can be interpreted in more ways than one.
You are still not able to articulate just like you aren't able to articulate the impact of carbon taxes or do basic grade school math.

You said in your response you didn't know the word initiate had two meanings. Your words not mine.

Now if you want to apologize for not being clear while trying to be clever, I would accept your apology and write this off to your continued efforts at learning the English language.

I would have no problem with that.

As I said. I voted Conservative this time. And the last 3 times. I never trusted or liked Trudeau. That one, especially after the refugee bullshit, WE charity shit had to go then. Once he froze bank accounts I said absolutely gone.

You just tried to strawman. Smarten up.

No strawman here. And I honestly don't believe you voted Conservative now and in the past. No one who has voted Conservative regularly would be so dismissive of what the Liberals have pulled.

Smarten up. Your not fooling anyone.

They didn't "pull" anything. Stop being such a baby about an election loss.
