555-1212 was the number where I was.

I still use it on websites that ask for my phone number for some gods unknown reason.

The Liberals had all the chance in the world during Covid to regulate profiteering in basic needs and did precisely fuck-all. Weston makes hundreds of millions from ludicrous price gouging and grocers get “talked to”, but nothing resembling sanctioning. So forgive me if I don’t believe their bullshit yet again.

There isn’t a chance that a .22LR would even leave a bruise at 300m, if you managed to deal with the 15 or 20’ of drop at that range. You might as well throw a shoe at him.

Cmon, let’s get these people using the right equipment for the job. Telling people that .22 is going to do the job is just making sure the job doesn’t get done.

The best kill is overkill.

OK, seriously.

AK47s and AR15s are not what you’re looking for here. A nice Sako or Weatherby in 6.5 Creedmoor or .300WSM is a much better choice. And make sure your optics are matching the quality of the gun; we’re looking for .5MOA or better.

Get your shit together, guys.

But the ones that survived were warriors all. We’ve seen the enemy, and it goes round and round and round and round.

Rule 34

I’m not buying it. We have billions of dollars at stake right now and are risking it for the maybe, possibly chance of producing domestic EVs someday. But our track record at things like emerging technology has been pretty poor, as seen by the Ottawa silicon-valley attempt and nanotech throw a lot of money down the drain accomplishing nothing.

Gee, the LPC can’t get any traction west of Thunder Bay, I wonder why…

And how much of that is built or sourced in Canada? Thats what we would be trying to protect when we do this. And to my knowledge, its negligible. What we’re doing is appeasing the US at the cost of agricultural exports, exactly as we did when we arrested the Huawei exec that they had conveniently let across the border in order to create strife.

Yah, and now we have China looking to restrict canola imports in retribution, something of actual value to the Canadian economy, unlike our non-existent EV industry. There will be massive costs to agriculture from this stupidity, and it’s all for image points, not anything useful.

For reference sake, agriculture contributed $42 billion to Canada’s GDP in 2023. I can’t find any numbers for EV because I suspect it doesn’t exist.

Wow, a government body composed of former and future employees of the regulated industry protects and shelters said industry.

This is my surprised face.

It’s almost like Alberta isn’t the unlivable shithole the rest of Lemmy thinks it is and makes sure to say every fucking time it’s mentioned.

Coercive? More like hostage diplomacy.

Man, nobody I’ve talked to around here has the time of day for Smith.

There’s blood in that one.

I live in rural Alberta and it’s pretty rare for anyone to profess admiration for the orange shitbird. It’s usually the people nobody likes to be around anyway.

I call bullshit on this article.

Can we recover the previous 3 years worth from George Weston? I’ll take it back in pieces of skin.

Apparently that’s a song.

They must have a pile of money backing them because they’ve been punching up for a while now. First Circle K and now 7-11?

We pay the most we can bear for goods and services.

Apparently you stopped at the first period.

So the user I’m replying to said they pay the most they can bear for goods and services. But any additional costs are going to be passed along, inevitably, so those goods and services are going to cost more.

What part of that depicts my opinion of what railway workers should or shouldn’t make?

You decide what my opinion is and then attack. How does that work out for you IRL?
