On the one hand, Danielle Smith is timing the re-instatement of the Provincial Fuel Tax at the same time that the Carbon Tax is raised, so she can blame all price increases on the Federal government instead of the Provincial government.

What is most disturbing of all however, is the fact that the CPC and the UCP are constantly telling us that multi-billion dollar oil corporations should not pay their own taxes, but should pass the buck to us and make us consumers pay their taxes for them!! /1

You want to lower car insurance rates? Last year we banged a concrete barrier with our Nissan Leaf: lower left front panel damaged. Entirely plastic. No damage to lights, alignment, wheels, etc. The cost? $7,200 (including around $1000 in taxes). For about $50 worth of plastic, essentially. The body shot said the part was $4500+. Said "it's around $700 for an Audi headlight assembly now".
THAT'S where you reduce rates.

I don't know much about but I DO know that my 11 can't load many, many apps because I can't upgrade its IOS operating system. 5 years old and if I want to load the apps I need to buy another Iphone. So, yes, that's a problem.

@tantramar I never said I was technically adept- the exact opposite. So... looks like the “automatically download” and “install” buttons were “off”. Some idiot must have done it.

Oof. Katie Britt’s rebuttal to tonights American SOTU was giving budget TV college production actress and secret serial killer vibes. Never has a laugh sounded both insincere and fully murderous all at the same time. Also they put her in a kitchen set?! Unreal fumble by the Republicans.

why do companies’ support platforms insist you rate them or provide feedback BEFORE the support issue in question has been resolved?

Like, ok, the person on the phone was very friendly, but NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET!?!

Donald Trump uses the slow legal system to his advantage. The Supreme Court is helping (www.cnn.com)

The Supreme Court’s decision to hear Donald Trump’s claim that he should be shielded from criminal prosecution keeps the justices at the center of election-year controversy for several more months and means any verdict on Trump’s alleged subversion of the 2020 vote will not come before summer....

    Every single conservative government, provincial and federal, has brought nothing but additional hardships to Canadians. Conservative provincial premiers are killing our healthcare, trampling on the rights of children and women, underspending on all social programs like those intended for autism and enriching themselves, their donors & their BFFs by plundering our beautiful country, and pocketing the riches for themselves.

    @CanadianCrone BC just raised its minimum wage; $17+. Highest in Canada. And will institute a real estate flipping tax. So they’re trying, at least.
