Trump's war on Iran hasn't altered Canada's cost of making gas — at all. So why are we being hosed at the pumps? Policy choices, not market forces of a war halfway around the world, explain the spike in prices, writes Jim Stanford, leading to unnecessary economy-wide inflation and higher interest rates.

As you fill up with gas that's now up 20c/litre in a week, remember who profits. Cdn oil companies made $150b after-tax profit after the last oil spike (2022). An excess profit tax redistributed to consumers would ease the pain. My take in @thestar.com: www.thestar.com/business/opi...

It's great!

I bought my immersion blender 23 years ago to make baby food. It was on sale. Best $10 I ever spent!

Hahaha!!!

That would make sense.

I'm just curious, are bonespurs hereditary?

SERIOUSLY !!!!

That's so sad!

Bruce Fanjoy has launched a petition to require all federal party leaders to obtain and maintain top security clearance.

It's open for a couple of months.

That would be a surprise. So far the most exotic animal we've had is a coyote.

It's kind of turning into that sort of hell. 🤣

Trumpism's war on the truth is coming to Canada. We need to be ready The Trump administration has made it clear that it will use almost everything at its disposal in its broader war on the truth. If we're not careful here in Canada, we'll become one of its casualties.

Donald Trump probably (!) won't order a military attack on Canada. But his administration is happy to interfere in our politics, and we have to respond accordingly: by thickening our informational borders and holding tech companies to account. #cdnpoli

Released from prison and has to find a new bathroom to broadcast from?

Romana and her co-conspirators (Kaven, Gail, Tennyson) have been receiving income from followers via Interac for years and almost certainly have not been reporting it as income.

Defined as income: "gifts from followers and social media audiences."

Maybe Gina was unavailable because she's house hunting?

I'm starting to think so!

There's another feeder that that one is getting into right in front of the porch.

It's funny that the squirrels can't get into the feeders, but the deer can 🤣

Only 3 deer are visible here, but our usual 3 brought 2 of their friends, who stayed close to the street.

There was certainly enough documentation of their arrival. It would have been hard for Richmound to claim they hadn't been there for months and months 🤣

Is that natural law though? 🤣🤣🤣

That would have been comedy gold!

And pure hypocrisy.

🤣🤣🤣

I bet they had some sort of plot to take over the town council at some point and they thought this would be their proof of residency. I suppose they probably don't have a lease signed with Biff!

And yet somehow the ground hog is more accurate than the local news...
