1trailmaker Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Canadians will be able to legally purchase and consume recreational marijuana by mid-September at the latest after the Senate voted Tuesday to lift Canada’s 95-year prohibition on cannabis. Senators voted 52-29, with two abstentions, to pass bill C-45, after seven months of study and debate. Senators backed down on an amendment to the federal government’s cannabis legalization bill that would have recognized the authority of provincial governments to ban home cultivation of marijuana plants if they choose. The Trudeau government rejected that amendment and senators voted 45-35 against insisting on it. Quebec and Manitoba have already decided to ban home-grown weed, despite the fact that the federal bill specifies that individuals may grow up to four plants per dwelling. The Senate’s amendment was intended to avoid legal challenges of the provinces’ constitutional authority to prohibit home cultivation. https://toronto.citynews.ca/2018/06/19/senate-passes-cannabis-bill/ Best thing to happen in decades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02sled Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 On 6/17/2018 at 9:31 AM, Sksman said: But Fail said we are doing awesome! I don’t understand! Canadian economy hurting thanks to poor government decisions Toronto Sun June 17, 2018 LORNE GUNTER May was not a good-news month economically. Canada shed 7,000 jobs, bringing the drop in employment since December to nearly 50,000 jobs. Projected growth in our GDP was downgraded to under 1.5% for 2018. And Statistics Canada found Canadian firms intend to invest less than they did last year in new locations, new equipment, new hires — the fourth straight year of decline. That’s especially bad news because job creation and economic growth next year are often based on investments made this year. By comparison, the E.U. is expected to grow by close to 2.5% and the U.S. by nearly 4%. The closest bad-news economy to our own is the U.K.’s. That’s because Britain is in the midst of Brexit. The uncertainty of what happens next is keeping investors away. American companies invested more in 2017 than they did in 2016 — about 3% more. And this year they expect to invest nearly 10% more than that. The U.S. economy is adding jobs even faster than we are shedding them. How is this happening? Usually when the U.S. economy is expanding, our economy expands, too, as we feed them with raw materials, parts and finished goods. We can’t blame this on Donald Trump and his stubbornness on trade. This began long before Trump became president. (Well, part of it is Trump’s “fault.” America’s economy is on the verge of a boom because the corporate tax cuts he forced through Congress have given the U.S. a clear tax advantage.) Our troubles are almost entirely the fault of Canadian governments and their anti-investment rhetoric and policies, especially their “green” energy schemes and carbon taxes. Our governments are using taxes to punish companies and suck up almost every extra cent ordinary wage earners are making. The federal Liberals treat millions of small business people as if they were tax cheats. Canadian governments are also racking up massive debts and scaring away investment with their environmental regulations and carbon “pricing.” “But governments are our friends and guardians,” you insist. “They protect us from the One Percenters and greedy corporations, and they provide us with essential services.” Not even close. According to Vancouver’s Fraser Institute, last year Canadian families earned an extra 3.3% in income, but taxes rose by 3.1%. In other words, for every extra dollar your family earned, governments taxed away 94 cents. It’s like the Beatles 1966 song, Taxman: “That’s one for you, nineteen for me.” The One Percenters didn’t do that to us. For instance, the Trudeau government did reduce middle-class income tax rates, but they also got rid of so many tax credits that middle-class families are paying $1,000 more in income tax than before the Liberals were elected. Because our leaders can’t get firm with environmental extremists and stand up to stubborn “green” politicians — like the ones who run B.C. and Quebec — we can’t get pipelines built. That has cost Canada nearly $100 billion in lost investment and reduced prices for our oil over the past three years. And if you believe small businesses are the engine of our economy, consider what it means that since 1998, small-business startups in Canada are off by 50%. When governments raise minimum wages, add reams of new regulations, double utility rates and treat farmers, entrepreneurs and professionals as if they were robber barons, that discourages investment. Add the uncertainty caused by our governments’ obsession with “green” policies and who is going to invest their life savings in a new business or their shareholders’ billions in a pipeline? Doug Ford’s election should improve the scene in Ontario, but all the damage done by “progressive” federal, provincial and municipal governments will take years to repair. Obviously they didn't get Fail's memo saying how wonderful things are doing. Maybe he should reissue his memo.

Yeah right... you deal with backyard mechanics that aren't legitimate business operators dealing in cash only.

02sled Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) Harper is going to visit the White House... likely he can do more good than Trudope has been able to do on the trade front. https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/politics/harper-blindsides-trudeau-pmo-plans-visit-to-white-house-1.3992079 U.S. has suggested it would be a lot easier to have a Canada / U.S. trade agreement and achieved much sooner than an all inclusive Canada / U.S. / Mexico agreement. Canada could have it's own Canada / Mexico agreement. Later a U.S. / Mexico agreement could be reached but Trudope is standing firm on all or nothing. If Mexico isn't part of a single agreement it's a no go. Sounds like the playground kid who says play by my rules or I'm taking my ball and going home. Oh don't forget Trudope is still pushing the gender BS as part of a trade agreement. He needs to go before he screws up Canada as badly as Wynnebag did Ontario. Just saw AC posted the same link as I was doing this one. Edited June 28, 2018 by 02sled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
