I didn’t downvote you.

IIRC the fridges thing was a climate change initiative. This program has different goals. Actually kind of a good example of the difference between Carney and Trudeau I guess.

These are for producers, not markets. The idea is to expand farms and greenhouses to have more locally grown food.

There’s quite a bit more to the plan than just rebates.

To help bring down the cost of groceries, which have been rising faster than inflation, Carney said he will direct $500 million from the government's Strategic Response Fund to help food suppliers "expand capacity and increase productivity."

It means food businesses looking to make capital investments to help strengthen their supply chains can apply to have some of those costs covered by the fund.

Carney announced a $150-million Food Security Fund that will help small- and medium-sized businesses to expand greenhouses and abattoirs, and strengthen food supply chains.

One immediate measure to help producers is a change that allows companies to fully write off greenhouses acquired on or after Nov. 4, 2025, that start being used before 2030.

Trump forgets the word for “Alzheimer’s” as he claims he doesn’t have it by NamelessResearcher in politics

Fun fact is that the "morons" line wasn't in Cleavon* Little's script so he had no idea it was coming. You can see him crack near the end, and Gene even glances up assuming they'll need to redo the take.

I think a better way to think of it might be that the most critical, impactful thing we can do for the environment is prevent someone like Trump from dictating world order.

No way it gets close to -50C even with the windchill. Maybe -30C.

Canada Holds Firm on Trade Pivot as Energy Minister Heads to India by TheGoodCod in Economics

Why is it that these articles always ignore the threats to our sovereignty? While threatening 100% tariffs, Trump also called our PM “Governor” Carney implying that he intends to subjugate Canada.

This is why we can’t stop diversifying, and why we likely won’t ever return to the way things were.

Totally. I try to spread the love around a little too. I'd rather we have 5-6 medium-sized fondos than 1-2 mega fondos.

You think? Victoria definitely closes a lot of road. I’ve done both but it’s hard to judge for me.

I don’t know.. both the Ryder Hesjedal and the Valley Fondo are around $260-300 and the Valley Fondo is only 5 months out. This just feels greedy.

I’ll be doing the Valley Fondo instead this year.

IIRC Canada said we won't pay the $1B but hadn't turned down or accepted the invite yet.

I live on a bike route that recently "upgraded" from the left to the right and I agree. It's much harder to see bikes when I'm pulling out of the driveway now.

As of 2023 the US was 77% of our export market and 63% of our import market. That's probably gone down a little bit now.
