Yes, with tariffs that will increase prices.
Seriously, do you think corporations will just eat the cost?
Im amazed you are for this sales tax.

Doug Ford and Carney recently spent time together at Ford's cottage, Doug was quite impressed with the man and sincerely endorses his leadership. A surprising non-partisan response, but Doug's not so impressed with the Federal CPC leader it seems.
DoFo is busy privatizing health care, defunding education and his new plan, selling off Wasaga beach to his donor buddies.
Ontario Plans to Sell Part of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park for Development Project - Environmental Defence
The Government of Ontario plans to sell parts of the park worth tens of millions of dollars to developers. This represents almost one third of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park.
GM eat the cost. prices are set by market, not cost. GM can’t just mark up its full size pickup when they are competing with Ford (that has a larger US manufacturing footprint).
Doug ford only has a position because every other party in Ontario sucks. Nothing to boast about.
Lol! You don't think they talk?
The cost will get passed on. I'm really amazed by your thoughts. Did the price gouge after the pandemic teach you nothing? Corporations have a responsibility first to shareholders remember? So they will raise prices, layoffs will occur, and lobbying to kill the tariffs in a few years will happen. And the public will have gotten used to the prices and so they won't lower them.
And that is the best case scenario.
I guess in our case we will have to just to surcharges on to oil and electricity.
People have been doing the hard work for decades. Dude.
I don't think it should "start now".
It started ages ago and is ongoing.
That you don't understand that is part of your problem.
I forgot.
You're completely delusional.
Everything that isn't "You agree with me totally in all ways about all tactics" is "You don't believe there should be any pressure".
I've never once denied that they might have affected the election.
Everything affects an election.
We agree Trump got elected.
We disagreed about whether or not it would be a good thing.
It's not my fault that you constantly say ridiculous things in sloppy ways?
But let's assume you actually wanted to say that your best hope of stopping what's going on in Gaza was to put pressure on Harris.
You failed.
Dramatically.
Your failure made things worse not just for other people but for Gaza.
You were told that was a the most likely result of your gamble.
You said anyone who pointed any of that out was morally culpable for genocide and valued American lives more than Palestinian ones.
If you honestly believed that the protests against Harris were your best chance, you would have argued differently as well, since you would have agreed that getting Trump elected meant you had blown your best chance.
And that failed.
There were massive, public protests, and it didn't change the policy, it resulted --- according to you -- in getting Trump elected and making things worse and harder to fix.
If I recall, you insisted it would happen magically.
They would lose and be forced to become anti-zionist to win elections in the future.
That was the pressure.
The Dems losing was explicitly part of your plan. Why are you worrying about where the pressure will come from now?
You had that figured out, remember?
Why do you think those are different issues from "more progressive policy"?
That is a systemic issue, Frank.
Good lord.
No.
That is me making fun of you for you not understanding what you're talking about and just being led around the nose by xitter.
Not really.
The Dem Leadership has its problems, yes.
But the right wing elevating these people - just as they have elevated lots of others you would dislike - comes from their command over the media environment.
AOC has stood out by way of her ability to take advantage of the spotlight they gave her.
We will see if Mandami will be able to do the same.
Do you think Huey Long should be a left-wing hero?
Good question.
Which leader will get in front of the movement and channel it?
Which think they can weld this part of the coalition to the broader coalition and move forward with success?
Lots of people vying for the role in various ways.
A problem, of course, remains that the general voter is not the primary voter.
And that most voters don't vote on policy.
During the election you said that was not the time to pressure the dems to do the hard work.
Now you say it is the time.
That is what we are talking about.
uh huh
I never said it would be a good thing, don't lie.
You didn't think the dems responding to the massive, country wide protests against the genocide would effect the election, despite 70% of dems backing ceasefire.
You still don't think that the difference making number of dems who stayed home and didn't vote could have been influenced by the genocide.
That is our difference in opinion.
Your memory is shitty or you are telling yourself stories to make yourself feel better.
I said any moral person who understand 'never again' could never vote for a leader who is actively aiding genocide.
You called this naive and said it was 'pragmatic' to vote for genocide to keep trump from winning and things getting bad in the US.
I argued that joining the massive amount of dems trying to stop Harris/Biden from aiding genocide would be needed for them to win the election.
You didn't, you thought it wouldn't effect the election.
In an election between genocide and genocide lite the genocide team will always win as some people won't vote for any form of genocide. The number of dems that stayed home made the difference.
Your plan failed, trump is in power.
Your plan failed.
You said do nothing and the dems will win anyways.
You were wrong.
We are past day 300 of the genocide and you are still spending your time and anger on me and dem voters who wouldn't vote for genocide.
You have never once said that the genocide is wrong, that Harris and Biden were wrong to support it.
You have never once noted that the genocide has destroyed zionism along with Gaza.
You have never noted that AIPAC is the one that has destroyed democracy and put trump in power.
You just want to blame me and the dems who honoured 'never again' by refusing to vote for genocide.
That is on you and all your zionist friends.

I said your pressure campaign would likely fail and that you had no backup plan since the most likely outcome if you didn't get the Dems to move was to elect Trump.
I was correct. (And no, we haven't forgotten your constant insistence that Trump wouldn't be worse and anyone pointing out the damage he would do was a racist monster.)
The actual pressure campaign to move US policy on Israel has been decades long and will continue for years to come.
Not lying.
If you want to deny your past, go right ahead.
It's the internet. Do what you want.
Why do you keep lying about what I think?
I have repeatedly pointed out that your "proof" of things doesn't hold up.
You have decided this means I don't believe anything had any effect.
This is a lot like richecag's whole "You criticized Trump's ICE policy, you therefore are against mitigating illegal immigration".
It's par for the course for TERB.
It would be nice if "Frank thinks the protests had more impact than I do on the election" were the limits of our difference of opinion.
Projection.
Nice.
By definition.
In an election like that, genocide is not on the table as a thing you can affect by voting.
You're view of electoral politics appears to be even more deranged than I thought.
I find it fascinating how it always comes down to "Why aren't you being my trained monkey?" with you.
You did no such thing.
You don't vote in US elections, my boy.
There it is.
No, you were wrong.
You said the genocide wouldn't affect the results and there was no need to worry about it or to try to pressure the dems.
I was right and trump was elected.
Prove your claim then.
Its the internet and all there for a good researcher.
I know, you think that the fact that 29% of dems who voted for Biden but wouldn't vote for Harris and cited the genocide wasn't enough to change a close election.
Clearly its not.
Again, its on the internet, make your case.
But in an election like that you would vote and others would stay home.
It was your argument that the dems didn't need to respect the fact that 70% of their voters backed a ceasefire.
You think pushing for them to respect voter's wishes was 'deranged'?
The same way you think that by refusing to state in exact terms your views they aren't still apparent.
Your words:
Yes, on this board you appear as a zionist.There it is.
What you won't say tells as much as what you will say.
Everyone who doesn't agree with everything you say is a Zionist to you.
We've noticed.
LOL.
Good lord, why would I waste my time like that?
One day, you really should read that poll and internalize what it actually says versus what you want it to say.
Absolutely.
Because not voting is a terrible choice, morally and tactically.
That people will make terrible moral choices is a given, of course.
Of course, encouraging people to make the terrible choice is extremely bad.
Not at all.
Pushing your representatives is part of democracy.
Doing things stupidly is deranged.
There's no point.
Complete agreement of I am a Zionist.
Eerily accurate, wasn't I?
Nah, only about 21% of Canadians are holocaust deniers.Everyone who doesn't agree with everything you say is a Zionist to you.
We've noticed.
Great, we'll just assume you post unfounded slander.
One day you will understand what 'never again' means.
Ah yes, we are back to your presumed superiority on all electoral issues and those who choose different from you are making terrible choices.
Pushing back on aiding genocide was 'deranged'?
Yes, you won't say it out loud, I know.
Now you argue again that I'm responsible, not Harris and the dems.
