Cutting/deferring carbon taxes is such a bad idea. It sends the wrong message. There should be no exemptions. This is the cost per tonne of carbon. Period.
What Trudeau did is fundamentally against why the Carbon tax is considered to be one best means to reduce carbon emissions. And to top it off he did it for one of the worst heating fuels.
It's poor value but for many years it was the only modern single dose style conical grinder especially one with very solid workflow so people gritted there teeth and paid for it.
I have a significant disdain for anything from Fellow after a few bad experiences.
I agree the chargeback is probably the way to go. I do wonder as Amazon grows and becomes a bigger part of people lives whether it's worth it to potentially get banned from them.
Especially given his location.

As a Canadian the DF83 with the SSP burrs is actually pretty close the Niche zero price wise due to how their distribution works. Essentially you pay UK tax and Canadian duties at least the last time I checked last year.
A few weeks ago there was a post on how much gambling advertising is in Sports these days. I looked on the numbers on Canadian gambling addiction and it certainly seems to be much more widespread.
Don't really think I've really seen any of them complain about that. They just seem have a really unhealthy infatuation about sex.
As someone who believes that Conservatives are just a more religious and dumber version of the Liberals. I really have no problem with the "fuck Trudeau" slogans but they probably want to spend more time figuring out what the actual solution is.
The whole conservative mantra is just to simplify everything to single individual whether it be a villain or savior.
As someone from BC I'm painfully aware of the recent BC Liberal era. Although the Horgan NDP's wasn't exactly hitting out the park and bungling voting reform could really bite them in the ass.
While many places in North America has upzoned single family home areas. There's still many hurdles that don't make it enticing to build these higher density developments.
The examples given were:
(California) Limited max useable sqft. Would result in something like 2000 sqft max on the plot of land which would mean only 500 sqft units if there's 4 units.
(Vancouver) In some circumstances it can cost a extra 70k in fees per unit built. 280k extra for the aforementioned 4 units.
(Coquitlam) Requiring 2 or more parking spots per unit. Be 8-9 spots for the 4 units.
He estimates with all these limitations developers would need to sell those 500 sqft units for 1 million dollars for it to be viable. A notable point is that for developers to even get a loan from banks for housing projects they need to demonstrate they can have a 15-20% profit margin.
The video like most of Utae's is pretty short and to the point. Well worth the 10 minutes watch.
To start off Eby's quote made it seem like a wide spread federal idea, but there no sign of Liberals proposing selling off any federal land. So it is indeed just a Conservative idea.
In regards to why it's a bad idea it's because that's how we got here. The Conservative government "saved" money by not building housing only for people to pay substantially more for it down the road. If there is any belief that we can just kick this can down the road till it becomes someone else's problem aside from housing, that what was said for climate change, and healthcare as well,
I'd also doubt selling thousands of buildings and large swaths of land would be fast, unless they go full Conservative and do a fire sale again like Harper did. Where Canadian get pennies on the dollar.
This idea seems so bad is sounds like it came from the Conservatives.
Eby says there are proposals at the federal level to sell public land and buildings to help solve the crisis, but B.C. is doing the opposite by taking inventory of provincially and municipally owned land in order to build more homes.
The budget has been release since the article. Haven't seen much comments for it aside from people not liking the bulk of the funds(15 billion) not being available till 2025.
I don't think there's a easy fix coming soon anytime
Rarely is for problems that are left to fester for decades. As usual it'll also be exponential in cost to fix now compared to when things weren't as bad.
Kinda crazy conservative parties still get a large amount of support running austerity platforms.
A few months ago I planted some jalapenos in my Aerogarden(mini hydroponics).
For some reason my mom decided to prune the hell out of the bottom leaves instead of the top leaves like your suppose to as they already had a advantage of being closer to the light source. As expected the top leaves just grew to a point where it left zero opportunity for the lower leaves to grow at all.
I really couldn't do anything since the plant was already over pruned, so I just watched the top leave reach the point where it smothered the light causing them them to burn. At this point the plants are pretty much dead.
Anyways probably I'll probably swap them out for some cherry tomatoe plants. Not sure what Canadians plan to do when things become completely untenable as we go out of our way to support the wealthiest people.
She said when she asked why it took them so long to respond this time, they seemed confused.
“They were like, ‘What do you mean? We only got a call a few minutes ago.’ They said we were parked in the neighbourhood… She told me basically that they could have been here within five minutes.”
According to Fuda, the paramedics apologized and indicated that a new system was responsible for causing delays in their response times.
“They were so upset themselves because they said this is an ongoing problem,” Fuda said,

Imagine making 12.5 million dollars and not be competent enough to figure out how to a business where people don't have to drag themselves off your planes.
Trudeau said the Liberals are increasing the
maximum amount of funding towards the purchase and installation of a heat pump from $10,000 to $15,000. They will be doing this by adding up to $5,000 in "grant funding to match provincial and territorial contributions," which, according to a PMO release, would mean most households will be able to get their pump for free.
I'm agree the Liberals are in the wrong here but this guy never forgoes an opportunity to sound like a massive tool.
“So, the question becomes, what will Jagmeet Singh do?” Poilievre asked in his caucus address.
“Will he stand with the voters who put their trust in his MPs in places like Timmins and other cold northern communities? Or will he once again sell out working class Canadians in order to suck up to Justin Trudeau? That will be his decision.”
What Trudeau did is fundamentally against why the Carbon tax is considered to be one best means to reduce carbon emissions. And to top it off he did it for one of the worst heating fuels.
This tax has been praised as “a far better way to control pollution than the present method of specific regulation.”[66] It has also been lauded for its market based simplicity. This includes a description as “the most efficient way to guide the decisions of producers and consumers”
