@FoodProfessor Are Canadian processors paying the industrial carbon tax? Get ready because with that tax, none of our manufacturers of anything can compete, they will all be closing their doors.

BREAKING: Ottawa launches investigation into a surge of cheap imported canned and frozen vegetables hitting Canada. Canadians producers say they’re being squeezed by global oversupply redirected into our market.

@BrianABCS @CoopTory Obviously, it's still capitalism and rife with abuse and exploitation. But they don't intentionally sabotage their own homeland to extract as much profit as possible from them. The US, Canada, and parts of Europe do, which is why private interests completely control everything.

Good public transport is far more convenient than driving

@HalkLovesTrains @CoopTory JPN has one of the best transit systems in the world and it is all private corporations or quasi-government corporations that are required to pay back the cost of building. Except, Kyoto which is on the verge of bankruptcy because the city built a subway that doesn't go anywhere

@HalkLovesTrains @CoopTory Not at all, profits and the profit motive is the only way to have good public transportation. Private money would never have bought those useless electric buses in Edmonton. Taxpayers got robbed; abused.

@HalkLovesTrains @CoopTory Everything they invest in includes private, for profit partners. Anyway, getting some private capital into GO will result in better public transportation.

@HalkLovesTrains @CoopTory The Gordie Howe bridge, operated by a Federal Crown corporation will collect tolls of CND$8 for passenger vehicles. It will be user pay and the tolls will go back to Canadian taxpayers who paid for the construction. User pay public transit is the only way to make it sustainable.

@HalkLovesTrains @CoopTory City streets are paid by property taxes on private buildings and land adjacent to the street. $50 toll for Confederation Bridge was appropriate. Politicians should not have lowered it to $20 to buy votes.

@HalkLovesTrains @CoopTory Without a profit motive, irresponsible government paid-for public transit results in Eglinton Crosstown LRT being 6 years behind schedule and the poop show Ottawa LRT. "Everyone" knows Alto will be a money pit white elephant sucking up taxpayer money for decades.

@HalkLovesTrains @CoopTory You have lost the plot. Buses need roads too. People who want to can buy a car or if they want to contribute to buying a bus through fares. Either way, the roads will get built and people need to pay for their transportation, not taxpayers.
