Quite the about-face there, @PremierofNL. Which is it?!
Replying to @JenniferYVerma
Also the communications on this is a story (and PhD dissertation) in and of itself. This week: NL premier calls on fed fisheries to restore the cod moratorium Last week: โ€ฆ

I think @WestJet should have started by enforcing existing carry-on baggage rules. I flew with them last week and people were allowed onboard with massive bags, many with multiple (4 ) carry-ons and personal items. Overheads then full, so ppl last to board then had to gate check

This is not ok. A $250 increase for a carry-on bag?? Lunatics. This is an insane way to cut down on people over crowding the carry-on space. You're essentially having to decide between $137 for a checked bag, and $250 for a carry on? This is utter insanity, WestJet

Accurate, and important perspective.

Loblaws made $459,000,000 this quarter. They control about 30% of the Canadian market - roughly 12,000,000 people. If they slashed prices and aimed for $0 in profits, the average consumer would save... $38.25 That's about $3 / week.

But he's not a dangerous offender according to the Court. Unbelievable.

My full story is on the way, but of note: Hopkins did not contest the Crownโ€™s submissions re dangerous offender. โ€œHopkins said he would engage sexually with a female if she invited him to, and if she refused after that, he would continue anyway.โ€ saltwire.com/atlantic-canadaโ€ฆ

Jagmeet is still on Loblaw's case. He has a real hate-on for Galen Weston. Loblaws released their full-year 2023 financial in late February. They bought $40.5 billion dollars of goods from producers. They re-sold those goods for $52.2 billion through 600 stores across Canada. So their gross retail margin was $19 billion. Their staff, rent, utilities, advertising, trucking, etc was $15.3 billion. They employ 220,000 Canadians, making them one of the biggest private sector employers in the country. Interest on debt was $825 million. They paid $714 million in taxes (Federal, Prov. & municipal) . That left $2.1 billion in net income. A minuscule $562 million from the profits were redistributed to shareholders. The rest of the profits were re-invested in new stores. In other words, they re-injected $1.5 billion into the economy. On paper they earned $6.46/share. For a $150.10 share, that represents a return on investment of 4.3% It's a typical retail business with miniscule margins. It's definitely not a stock I would invest in. For context, the Trudeau government burns through $2.1 billion in just a day. Jagmeet won't be happy until Loblaws makes ZERO profit. What does he want them to do with the $562 million they gave back to shareholder? Jagmeet's policies and support of the Liberals does a lot more to hurt Canadians than Loblaws. If Jagmeet really cared about helping Canadians, he'd kill the carbon tax and find other tax breaks for Canadians. He's propping up the Liberals, who's devastating policies have led to record inflation, 40-year high interest rates and made life more expensive for all of us.
The Price of Pierre and his troubling-ties to Loblaw Lobbyist. 33% of Foodbank users are kids. We put fwd a motion to tax the excess profits of the grocery cartel and fund a National School Food Program. Conservatives โ€“ whose campaign advisor is a Loblaw Lobbyist - voted NO.

On the set of The Princess Bride, Andrรฉ the Giant once "let out a 16-second fart and brought production to a standstill." Nobody said anything except director Rob Reiner, who said "Are you OK, Andrรฉ?" to which Andrรฉ replied, "I am now boss."

After 230k in 22 days through Labrador's interior (from Schefferville) I dragged the ol' sled out to the Trans Lab Wilderness Highway Friday, just west of Churchill Falls. What a treat to see my supportive & legend of a wife Heather for the first time in 4 months! @CapitalSubaru
