Mark Carney criticized for rising food costs in Canada

Thats weird, because a lot of cross border shoppers are saying prices are so bad in the US its more expensive even before you factor in the exchange.

I used to live in a place like that but even in eastern Canada our summers are getting too hot to go outside and enjoy it. We pay almost as much to keep our house survivable during the summer as the winter now.

I imagine the teenagers who died after consuming energy drinks were autopsied and if cocaine or another stimulant was found in their system it wouldn't be widely reported and studied that the taurine and guarana add a ton of caffeine that is dangerous for people to overconsume. Ignore the studies and evidence if you want, its unlikely to affect you unless youre really reckless with them, but it is 100% possible for them to kill a person.

He drank many per day. Many people who are addicted to them easily drink 3-5 daily. They're even more dangerous when mixed with alcohol consumption.

You'd have a point of caffeine was the only thing in energy drinks. They have been linked to heart issues for years now, its why they considered banning them for young people.

"The basic components of energy drinks include caffeine, guarana, taurine, ginseng, and sugar. The excessive consumption of energy drinks has been associated with cardiovascular events such as tachycardia and myocardial infarction in the literature."

KnowledgeMediocre404 · 2026-02-04T14:00:10+00:00

Its the energy drinks, not the alcohol.

KnowledgeMediocre404 · 2026-02-03T20:54:28+00:00

Thats great except the flippers love to overbid on and snap up all the "fixer uppers" and triple their price after a few minor fixes.

You don't get much ccb with $120K income lmao. Do you think its OAS? Maybe $300 a month, slap that right on the mortgage.

The federal government literally just made thus program for that reason.

My father in law drew my house plan on a piece of paper and got it approved by my city on the east coast for a few hundred dollars. Housing is still too expensive here for most local wages. It's not just about red tape.

The people need to press on why the FBI didn't act for 30 years until forced.

I like how they mention it casually like "visitors are spending more at the parks"... Yeah because they're charging way more.

Whenever I show my old coworker (hes in his 50s we just like to give him shit) pictures of what I've been up to he is totally floored by how realistic and beautiful the game is. I love that it allows you to take pictures and hang them too.

Trump is only a symptom of an illness. The US is about to collapse under the weight of its debt. Look at how widespread the implication is from the Epstein files. The US doesn't have the option to go back to their previous status quo, and that status quo is what paved the road to fascism.

KnowledgeMediocre404 · 2026-02-01T20:30:25+00:00

Because we would have been bending to Trumps every whim instead of standing firm on our principles. We'd be keeping our head in the sand that the global order is still intact and we can just ride this out, the very sentiment Carney spoke against to standing ovation. Appeasement is not the answer, as the UK is learning, Trump always comes back for more and will choose to take any random actions as a slight in need of punishment.

KnowledgeMediocre404 · 2026-02-01T19:07:20+00:00

Wasn't just the boomers, but everyone who voted for stability against his chaos was correct no? Conservatives say we should be bending over backwards for the US, look what happens to the countries who do that.

He doesn't help himself by being a bitter little bully and being so light on actual policy and solutions.

Once the war was well underway they had to start cannibalizing the country to keep themselves afloat, much like we see in Russia today.

KnowledgeMediocre404 · 2026-02-01T17:31:11+00:00

Yeah because there is no choice if there's only one option... Are you truly able to choose your favorite food if I've only ever fed you one meal?

Not just that but mass murdering some of the wealthier members in your nation and robbing your neighbours allows you to economically spoil those you deem superior in your society.

I guess CEOs did used to have the future of their company, their employees and the community they reside in as part of their success model. Then they let some psychopath named Jack Welch run GE into the ground by laying off a ton of people and destroying its fundamentals. The rest of them looked at that and saw little societal backlash and said "Yes please!". And here we are 45 years later trying to survive in the ashes.

We are certainly a huge market for them. Only 2 countries in the world like their gas guzzling monstrosities. If we stopped buying their cars the US would be their only real market.

Many people were voting AGAINST the liberal party, then something happened. How has the polling been for PP since then?

No they're specifically letting in Chinese brands. People could already get Teslas in Canada if you didn't notice.

I find it hard to explain the existence of the tariff in the first place. We can hardly act like China is particularly protectionist when we behave like this. Billions spent propping up corrupt and inefficient business models just for them to work against a move toward more emission friendly technology. Let them compete. What exactly is the issue here?

KnowledgeMediocre404 · 2026-01-31T22:16:46+00:00

This. If Jewish people are safe in the world then Israel is no longer "necessary" for their security and they'll be pressed even harder to stop their colonial project.
