'Called the wrong bluff': Ministers criticized for Canada's Russian turbine return during tense hearing

Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly was challenged Thursday on her assertion the federal government making the decision to grant a two-year exemption to federal sanctions, allowing a Canadian company to return repaired turbines from a Russian-German natural gas pipeline, was done to 'call Putin's bluff.

Simple: stop voting for the liberals

EVs don’t need gas and don’t pay gas taxes. It’s only natural that government is trying to tax EVs to maintain their tax revenue. Why would EV owners be surprised?

Sure! Why not include branded clothing, sports equipment & gadgets?

My father is not super rich. He worked as a tradesman all his life. He just retired. He ordered his dream car for $150k. He will be dinged an extra 15,000 for this stupid tax. He is contemplating on not completing the deal now when the car gets here. This is bullsheet.

So.... The climate bullsh*t is an emergency.. But.. Taxing heavy on a vehicle that the government is coercing everybody to purchase.. I.. Wh... Is this.. What?

Lol. Ok. Still don’t care.

And it should.. they are for rich people as it stands now. Why the heck should poor people subsidize only rich people buying teslas.. I’m not poor, but I also wouldn’t waste my money on a overpriced ev, so perhaps that makes me “not rich” to think I should be subsidized is nuts

owned by the super rich 🤷

Record spending, tax credits and a new park: 10 things to know about the Ontario budgetOntario Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy tabled the 2022-23 provincial budget on Tuesday. It's a record $198.6-billion plan that spends 25% more than former Liberal premier Kathleen Wynne’s final budget in 2018. Here are 10 things you need to know. Conservatives can’t be happy. 80% goes to fordnation buddies, 10% goes to paying for special massages and reach arounds, 5% goes to “cottage improvement” 5% goes to healthcare and education I’m not going to pay to get past the paywall but does this take population growth into account? 440k annual refugees, plus 40k Afghan refugees, plus unlimited Ukrainian refugees (almost 500k have applied so far). So with a growing population obviously the budget would be bigger.
