EXCLUSIVE: Business Owner Absorbs Customers' Gas Taxes to Raise Awareness of Alberta’s Potential
Whistle Stop Cafe owner Chris Scott, from Mirror, Alberta, says he is at least $6,000 out of pocket for covering the federal and provincial gas taxes himself, instead of passing them on to consumers for a day, to showcase what a truly prosperous Alberta should look like.
Scott's choice of day for the event led some to question if it was an April Fools' joke. But it was no joke—it also coincided with the day the federal government lifted the carbon tax. However, for Scott, “that’s really a drop in the bucket."
“If you look at what the Alberta government collects in road tax and what they spend on roads, you’ll see exactly why we don’t need it,” emphasized Scott, arguing that an Alberta without any gas taxes is entirely feasible.
"We’ve been supporting the Easterners long enough. I think it’s time to look after ourselves. To hell with them!" said one customer, in favor of Alberta's separation from Canada, while filling up multiple jerry cans.

@therabbithole Yes, the West and America better do something. We definitely don't want 3rd world countries plunging humanity into another dark ages.
We need to secure our sovereignty and promote families again. Gen Z and A are so anti-family. Feminism is partially to blame.
@wixNtix@Queen_Heather88@therabbithole Women just don't wanna have 2 kids anymore , men are just behaviors has just changed , they prefer to play a video game than fix a door cabinet look at the mirror
@Queen_Heather88@therabbithole As a man, I’ll tell you plain and straight what men are thinking. They’re thinking women of today cannot be trusted to be wholesome and virtuous. And to commit to one in the form of marriage or parenthood is waste of your time and resources.

Canada has gone from a country known for freedom to now using their financial system to destroy protesters financially ...
Consider getting some of your resources out of the system so they cannot fully control you. #silver#gold

@elonmusk@ray4tesla Just a few years ago there was talk of colonizing Mars and commercializing space travel.
Today we are talking about eating crickets, taking away the right to own a car and limits on the carbon footprint.
If going to Mars will be an available option I will go today.
20 years ago & 1 year after SpaceX was incorporated, @elonmusk made his 1st public speech on the mission of the company. We can see today things are unfolding as planned. Elon is a true visionary & keeps us excited about the future.
