Canada is set to become the only country to cap oil & gas production at a cost of ONE TRILLION dollars of GDP for what will be essentially zero reduction in global emissions.

Nine years. - set policy to go after small and medium businesses after calling them tax cheats. - massively increase public sector workers and govt bureaucracy such that 1 in 4 working Cdns are employed by the govt. - impose a carbon tax with large increases adding to the cost of living crisis. Exempt certain provinces because of who they vote for. - open the floodgates of immigration and non-resident permits like never before putting massive strain on provinces regarding housing, health care, education and police. - terrible economic productivity with Canadians financially worse off than they were in 2014. - introduce a emissions cap on the only sector driving the economy at the moment because most of the sector is in Alberta. Nine years.

To my American followers, please read this. In Canada, you need $200,000 income to qualify to buy an average home. This is just shy of the $246k where you are taxed at rates over 50%. If your family income is above $90k, you’re pooched.

Nine years. It’s all out in the open now. A complete mess has been made. And he wants 5 more years. Wake the hell up Canada. 'You can actually quote me... he’s an imbecile in terms of understanding how you build nations,' Former federal Liberal MP/cabinet minister, Ujjall Dosanjh.

What a horseshit column. This is exactly why we’re failing.
Canada is not in a productivity crisis. @brian_ON_econ says instead of chasing after American-style GDP, he says we should strive for income equality, good health care, fairness and happiness. macleans.ca/economy/why-cana…

We have a serious problem with waiting times in BC for patients who need urgent cardiac care. Long term patient I diagnosed with multi-vessel coronary disease. Young. Off work because of it. Needs urgent bypass surgery. This was back in February. Constant delays. No staff. Worsening. Ultimately now admitted because of the delays to hospital. His surgery should have been done in March. It’s October. This is dangerous and puts his life at significant risk not to mention the mental anguish. Delays like this are not just an inconvenience.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Thanks to our policy makers decisions we are poorer and getting more poor each quarter, imported goods more $$ and travel costs way more. Well done

Can confirm this system is a joke. They consulted and were told no one liked it including teachers and did it anyway
Instead of A, B or C, British Columbia now grades kindergarten to Grade 9 students on a scale from 'emerging' to 'extending' — and many parents are confused nationalpost.com/news/bc-sch…

ctvnews.ca/canada/why-a-grou… When health authorities require them, that’s a problem. Employers need to work with and trust their employees. MDs can’t be the arbiter. I 99% write what my patient tells me. I have to trust them.

For those interested in the performance enhancing characteristics of Clostebol Acetate, see below: 1) It mimics the actions of naturally occurring Testosterone, increasing protein synthesis and thereby contributing to muscle growth and repair 2) It alters production levels of EPO, enhancing endurance and reducing fatigue 3) It can suppress natural testosterone production. This may be useful in post-cycle therapy, i.e. after doping with other steroids. Thus it is similar to Clomiphene in this regard.
