Nobody in #Canada seems to mind that the consumer #CarbonTax was scrapped without a decision by #parliament. You see, Canada is a #monarchy. The #Crown has to approve all acts, and it can withdraw approval, too. While it's difficult to make new acts without parliament, it's easy to scrap them. Canadians have seen this before.

In this case, the Crown (His Excellency the Governor General in Council) simply changed the Regulation under the Act and set the tax rates at zero. The Act remains. #law

Carney, a banker with deep ties to financial institutions like Goldman Sachs and Brookfield Asset Management, is expected to steer the party and country toward a rightward shift, raising concerns about impacts on Canadian workers and unions.

His leadership reflects a commitment to neoliberal orthodoxy, raising concerns over potential approaches to public investment and labor rights.

I am looking for some Bo Katan armour for sale in Canada (potentially 3D printed in Canada). I found a great set on etsy, but the added $100 shipping kinda puts it over the top of my budget.
Even a pattern to do it myself using foam could work.
Does anyone have any leads?
A boost for more exposure is appreciated.

“We have lots of bad economic policy in the world, but we’ve never seen anything this amateur or purposely destructive at the national level from a G7 economy,” says Gillezeau. “I think that there are pretty reasonable odds they cast themselves into another Great Depression, right?”

There are people who think Trump is smart.

“There has certainly been no piece of trade policy in my lifetime that is at this level of stupidity, right?” said Rob Gillezeau, an assistant professor of economic analysis and policy at the University of Toronto. “It’s not grounded in anything intelligent. Like, they’re kind of just like ignoring economics altogether.”

“If the United States no longer wants to lead, Canada will.”, Mark Carney.

There’s something powerful in this. A call to lead with empathy, courage, and truth. We can be the experiment going right. While others turn inward, we can move forward. Not perfect, but principled.
This isn’t just about politics, it’s about who we are, and who we choose to become. And I’m proud to be part of a country willing to step up.

Come on, #Canada. Make sure you vote and let's get this right.
