Here I sit east of Adelaide driving to Dearness Home to give Paul his dinner. It’s 5 minutes from home but with construction it is at least 15 to 20 minutes. Well climate change be damned.
I’m wishing the very best to all colleagues appointed to cabinet today. Congratulations and I look forward to working with all of you. There is much to do for our communities and country. pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releas…
Even if we managed to open hundreds of thousands of mines to complete the #GreenEnery transition it would take 4,575,000,000,000 tonnes of copper, 940 million tonnes of nickel and 944 million tonnes of Lithium. That's never going to happen.
Trudeau recommends Elizabeth May as the next House Speaker to bring respect back to the Canadian Parliament.
Here she is, clearly intoxicated, discussing everything from anal sex to how she "squeaks."
Her selection would be very on brand for this Trudeau government.
No other country gets more revenue from a carbon tax than Canada does. Last year the Federal government collected an estimated $5.4 billion in Carbon tax.
The tax started at $20/tonne of CO2 in 2019.
Last year the tax was $50/tonne.
It increased to $65/tonne this past April.
It's set to increase by $15/tonne/year until 2023
2024 $80/tonne of CO2
2025 $95/tonne
2026 $110/tonne
2027 $125/tonne
2028 $140/tonne
2029 $155/tonne
2030 $170/tonne
By 2030 Canadians will be paying $170 per tonne of emission of an invisible, odorless, unreactive gas that is essential for life on this planet.
Remember the joke about "selling ice to Eskimos"? Well guess what folks?
Before the usual suspects come out howling that this is a symptom of the need for more affordable housing, notice the feature common in the pictures @artcgreen posts.
If it isn't a syringe, it is a glass pipe.
These aren't just folks who can't make ends meet.
They are addicts.
Even if rent was $50 per month, they wouldn't pay it. They would buy $50 more in drugs.
We do have an affordability crisis and it is harming many working folks.
We also have an addiction crisis though and it is a different animal.
Quit pretending addicts just needs homes. They need intervention and treatment.
Enablement just leads them to the grave.
GUNTER: Public safety key to revitalizing Edmonton's Downtown edmontonsun.com/opinion/colu… . Interesting read in so many ways this sounds like downtown London…
Will homeless hubs attract an influx of people from other cities seeking support services in London? london.ctvnews.ca/will-homel…. Weak Ward 13 councillor wants more information……go out and talk with your constituents. Go do your own research…geez do your job.
Super happy to be with Min @MonteMcNaughton and our ED @SteveJCordes@YOU_London's White Oaks shop for a great skills and training funding announcement for #ldnont supporting our youth training mission and mandate. Thank you Minister.
I’m reasonably intelligent but still mystified by this. It’s a little more than a folding table and some chairs. Are they bringing in Port a potty’s? Or placing them at each encampment? If more people show up they’ll work to relocate them or have bylaw remove them. To where?
I’m sorry again this sounds like seat of the pants planning. $100,000 for this plan and $255,000 for garbage collection? Could someone show me the napkin this budget is from? I honestly hope the agencies charged with this “plan” really are successful but it’s short term only
Thanks to the #EastLondon Optimists and sponsors for the spectacular fireworks at the East Lions Centre. It was packed with young and old. #ldnont#HappyCanadaDay2023
