Richmond and Bay right now… no emergency response in sight and everybody generally just going about their business. #Toronto

@Tablesalt13 @Lizzbird329 National security, safer/healthier foods, more family farms vs giant factory farms… why are we so against this?

@Lizzbird329 the same farmers that disallow imports AND dump milk AND control supply via permits ....to create the perfect captive market?

@mdt546 It’s not exactly open competition if one side has their costs highly subsidized by the government and the other doesn’t. Also, there is an important national security component to having strong, decentralized food production for your citizens.

@islantstudio As long as 996 911s get a pass, probably fine… they are under appreciated and deserve to be out driving, unlike the garage queen 993s (and earlier)

Massachusetts Bill S.2246: A Step Too Far? Hey everyone, have you heard about Massachusetts Bill S.2246? It’s a proposed law that aims to tackle climate change by putting a cap on how many miles you can drive your personal vehicle. Yup, you read that right! The bill would involve tracking your mileage and fining you if you go over the limit. The goal? To reduce carbon emissions by curbing personal vehicle use. But here’s the big question: Are you okay with this? Would you be cool with the government monitoring how much you drive and hitting you with fines if you exceed a mileage cap? Or does this feel like an overreach that infringes on personal freedom?

@Paul09094 @atrupar Yep, there’s a lot of gaslighting going on…I think Kash needs to focus on finding fence contractors.

@peterwjmiller @atrupar There's a thousand times more drugs produced in the States than in Canada. Not even close. And hey, Canada doesn't guard the border into the US. The US does. If drugs are getting in, that's on the US.

Kash Patel: "You know who has to get to stepping? Canada. Because they're making it up there and shipping it down here. And I don't care about getting into this debate about making someone the 51st state or not ... say what you want about Mexico, but they helped up seal the southern border."

@CaseyMericle It’s very simply broken down by this man… instagram.com/reel/C-3TliAvc…

Son came home from the book store with this What should I do next?

Probably has been said in a lot of comments, but these food import/export issues have a lot to do with standards, food safety, and maintaining national security/self-sufficiency. Nobody wants to be flooded with subsidized commodities with higher levels of antibiotics, hormones and pesticides than they’re comfortable with. America doesn’t want it from China, Europe doesn’t want it from America, etc. Let’s move past the silliness related to overstated Tarrifs on dairy, meat, etc. and focus on the real, and more important, reasons for reexamining trade relationships.

@MarcoFoster_ Warner overlooks that imposing tariffs could strategically pressure allies like Australia to address trade imbalances, such as their restrictions on American beef and pork, ensuring fairer market access for U.S. producers.

JUST NOW: Senator Mark Warner GOES OFF on Jamieson Greer asking why we would tariff Australia: “Answer the question on Australia! We have a trade surplus with Australia! We have a free trade agreement! They are an incredibly important national security partner. Why were they whacked with a tariff?””

@gertieok @BecomingCritter

@BecomingCritter I was going to say electrolytes but it sounds like your audience would go out and chug a Powerade I was going to say water but this audience seems like the type to guzzle 3 gallons at a time So I settled on salt water which is basically electrolytes without the bullshit

What’s the single highest ROI skincare thing men should be doing but probably aren’t? What’s the low hanging fruit?

@blanktrades @Tybernicus17 @ManyBeenRinsed You get a big rebate on your gas bill, as a greenhouse grower, so carbon tax isn’t the reason here — it’s just more expensive to grow inside in Canada than outside with undocumented labour. But in the outdoor season, we’re much more competitive.

@Tybernicus17 @ManyBeenRinsed Carbon tax retards

Why are Canadian grown strawberries more expensive than US grown?!? Who’s fucking who?!? We have some sort of domestic tariffs on ourselves?!? We’re getting tariffed by our own. 🍓

Damn, you’re killing it with the royalties, congrats! Average professor makes ≈ $100k. After tax ≈ $73k x 10 years= $730k. Corporate tax on small business profits (prov+fed) ≈ 25%… $730k/25%=$2,920,000.00 in taxable profit last year. I assume you make more than average prof, and your corp taxes are a bit lower, so presumably those profits are more than that ≈$3mm. You’re no Prof G or Jordan Peterson on the business front, but no ceiling to what you can do as an entrepreneur or how much money you can make (as it should be!) But yeah, Canada will probably waste that money, so keep fighting for more responsible spending and smarter policy. Would hate to see you and others like you just give up, leave the country, and continue the brain drain.

I'm about to pay corporate taxes to the Quebec and Canadian government that would take me ten years to save under my professor's salary. I could have used this money to pay for my children's university education (in Canada). The money will disappear, and be used to support "immigrants" to Canada who wish to kill my children. The QC and Canadian governments tax my mind, my words, my ideas, my book royalties, when 99% of the money is generated outside of Canada. Already, from my professor's salary alone, I pay more taxes than 95% of Canadians. Is this a fair system? Is this a moral system? How much taxes can you levy from an individual before it becomes too onerous? @francoislegault @justintrudeau @PierrePoilievre Our family's future is not here. I hope that by some form of cosmic justice, EVERY CENT that was stolen from the taxing of my mind will be returned to me.

@racerxonline Eli making supercross great again! 💪

Eli Tomac wins San Diego!!!!

@johannsen_tony @Austen Probably for the same reason California pays enormous corn subsidies in Iowa… one team, one dream! 🇺🇸

@Austen Why should someone in Iowa pay for wildfire protection in California?

Trump said the federal government should not be paying emergency wildfire aid while California is refusing to do controlled burns and clean up forests in the name of environmentalism

@drgurner It’s basically the only tax you can’t evade … “…is this your property?” “No” “ok, we’ll take it”. “ Wait, no, it’s mine” “Ok, pay us ≈1% of its value every year” “ 😔 fine”

Controversial take: Americans should be allowed to fully own their own property. Once Paid off, it cannot be taken from you. It should be yours fully, and you no longer owe/pay property taxes. You are already taxed many other ways (income, etc) No push for this?

Cheap trim for low-price pre-rolls, infused pre-rolls, and for extraction has ≈ quadrupled in last 6 months. Whole Flower for value bags has gone way up. Only the very top end of the market remains about the same. Large portion of top 20 brands don’t grow — Going to be an interesting next 12 months!

Interesting tidbit in Tilray's Q4 call today, saying that pricing in the wholesale market is increasing as it's becoming harder to find wholesale products. While increased closures add to the glut, overall this is a good trend for growers getting squeezed on price

The LCBO system is for more supportive to small business/independent operators/entrepreneurs who don’t have the relationships or financial ability to operate in the large grocery/convenience chains that dominate distribution otherwise. Maybe the cashiers are overpaid, but 1000 small businesses are far better for the economy than 5 large ones doing the same volumes (likely taking the profits outside of the country). Chill.

In any place with private liquor retail, people who work at the LCBO would be earning minimum wage yet in socialized Canada, they're civil servants. Go figure. LCBO employees are not knowledgeable about the wine or spirits. They're glorified cashiers. They barely even bag your booze for you. Yet with Ontario's socialized liquor retail monopoly, there's a powerful union that creams off a large part of the rents as if they were auto workers in the Big Three. The sense of entitlement thanks to socialism is very deeply engrained in the Canadian psyche. People expect the state to do everything for them and everyone is invested in ensuring that the status quo prevails. There is no rationale for socialized liquor monopoly @fordnation except for your government and the powerful union to extract money from us. Put an end to this nonsense and privatize liquor retail once and for all like it is in most of the civilized world. This is communism where the government tells us what liquor and wine we can buy and you can't special order what you want. Outrageous.

@MattP1Gallagher Just make it a time trial event. Maybe even score it by sector. Qualifying is the most exciting part of the weekend — run it back on Sunday!

Would you remove Monaco from the F1 calendar?

Important topic that I don’t think a lot of people have on their radar. Disappointing for consumers, but ultimately, products have to sell for at least their cost of production. The long-tail effect of billions of dollars entering the space from 2015-2019 are products in market below true cost of production. It’s ultimately an healthier industry if a couple hundred owner/operators can make a few Pennies than a few giants losing investor money to take market share and a few opportunistic producers buying their overstock to add cheap SKUs to the market. Not to say all big public companies are doing silly things — Many have actually rationalized their behaviour and are showing strength. I think the squeeze will be even bigger on vapes. Even older/overproduced flower is hard to sell after 1 year post-harvest. On the other hand, there are lots of disti carts in the market from material that was grown as long as 4 years ago. Now there is very little trim/distressed flower left in the market as producer equilibrium is slowly being found. Outdoor Growers are actually going to have customers for their crops this summer! Going to be an interesting next year — keep these sorts of videos coming!
