Ouch! Gas is just under $1.70/litre this morning!!! Glad I no longer commute.
7:10 am

About $6.80/gallon for my American friends.
7:13 am
Flask1

yes...it was even being discussed in here this morning...someone deciding whether to heat the house or have hot water.....its shocking!!
7:15 am
crosshair

That is one saving grace here in that much of our electricity is from hydoelectric or nuclear facilities. However, all food gets delivered by truck and diesel is $2.20/litre today. :(
7:18 am
crosshair

Back when I was running my service station (1994-2007) it would cost me $540 to have one load of gasoline delivered from Sarnia to Collingwood. It is amost three times that cost now. (Just one of many things that affect the price you pay at the pump.)

because he's an idiot that's being manipulated left and right and our systems that provide control have been hijacked.

He abused other countries for a year then says "oh no, I did not realize that vital shipping would grind to a halt, please help." Not bloody likely.

Price gets high enough, Canada will dimply keep all of our own oil any hydro. This iscwhy Carney is doing a full review on energy exports ascwe speak.

Oh he's a horrible human being!
7:30 am

Also why we are building "pocket" reactors. Small units capable of powering specific regions without the need of being connected to the main grid. In the future large cities can be easily powered independantly of each other. Plus we have a market for them with other like-minded free trade countries.
7:38 am
crosshair

Trump may be an idiot, but he has unwittingly become a catalyst allowing us to acheive a great many things wevpreviously would have thought impossible. Our prime minster has basically been living on a plane this last year working out trade deals with like-minded countries. We have set up new coastal shipping depots, rerouted pipelines and rail, elimiated inter-provincial trade barriers. So many new and exciting things--initiated by a buffon who has no idea whatsoever.

It will take decades, Nadine. :(
7:45 am

I've wondered that too eva.. I can't bear to witness the gigantic mess he's made and hurt so many people.
7:45 am
EvaNadine

i hate that my son will feel the ramifications if this for the rest of his life.
7:46 am

It will take generations to undo, but there are many things that will never come back to what they were.
7:46 am
mkg

eva no he wont. atmost it will take 10 years to undo much. things move fast when we get a new president. I read biographies and look what Teddy
7:47 am
crosshair

All the trade deals we are signing, for example, are ten, twenty, thirty year deals that are binding.
7:48 am
crosshair

Mkg, there are many things that cannot be undone, sadly.
7:48 am
mkg

Teddy Roosevelt did in his 7 years as president. he created national parks, he stopped corporations from being monopolies, he established the FDA, and on and on. one man can do a lot.
7:48 am
rururocks

I'd like to point out that one woman could as well
7:48 am
mkg

you can make new trade deals! it doesnt take 25 years to do that.
7:48 am
kc8501

One president can do a lot -- when they are backed by congress and the courts. That's why so much is happening now and why so much has been hampered in the past
7:49 am
crosshair

For example, we are rerouting our rail system for east-west traffic so it no longer has to touch U.S soil.
7:49 am
mkg

yes a woman as well.
7:50 am
mkg

any clues for the 7s?
7:50 am
crosshair

We are working eith the mexican to create the "Northern Route" for shipping good directly, bypassing the U.S
7:51 am
rururocks

the cartels have been doing that for years crossy
7:51 am
crosshair

Yup, so take a page from their book for foodstuffs as well.
7:54 am
mkg

so if canada can do all that in just two years, any country can make the same changes in two years.
7:54 am
mkg

still have no sevens. hmmm
7:55 am
crosshair

We still have to stick with our new contracts, mkg. Cannot just back out of them if trump does us the favour of dying.
7:56 am
rururocks

I pray he chokes on a big mac
7:57 am
crosshair

Once the new contracts has run their course we will look at things again.
7:59 am
crosshair

Basicallyball the ither countries are waiting for the mid-terms. See what happens then.
7:59 am
rururocks

I''m guessing it's going to be a democratic wave.. it should be interesting
8:00 am
crosshair

Very interesting. Wonder if Trump eill try and close rural voting centres again, and remove voting machines?
8:00 am
crosshair

Again.
8:00 am
rururocks

he is trying that
8:01 am
rururocks

the judges won't let him
8:01 am
rururocks

he's losing state after state
8:01 am
crosshair

Good.
8:01 am
crosshair

He is a planetary cancer.
8:02 am
rururocks

or worse
8:03 am
crosshair

He is why we are currently duping all that money into far north defense, why we bought that Aussie early warning system.
8:04 am
crosshair

Sweedish jets, german subs,etc etc. Interesting times indeed.
8:05 am
rururocks

none of us blame canada for their responses to his policies and idiotic statements
8:06 am
crosshair

And we, in turn, feel horrible for our American cousins who are caught up in this insanity though no fault of their own.
8:06 am
rururocks

well.. we half deserve it .. half this country voted for him, although the numbers that regret it are growing daily
8:10 am
crosshair

It is why we are offering safe haven to those who wish to apply, doctors, nurses, first responders, scientists, those who live in states where body autonomy rights have been removed, those who have been penalized or ostracised based on how they identify as a person. The list goes on and on.
8:11 am
rururocks

yeah but not to this old fart
8:11 am
crosshair

Would even welcome you, ruru--as long as you are cool with universal healthcare. :)
8:12 am
EvaNadine

whil i believe a lot can change in a few years with the right president, i fear our country is so divdied that we will unable to agree on who is "right" -- and even if someone great steps into the role, so many people will tear them down just from being from the "wrong" side of the aisle.

and even if we can overcome that internally, in order to make these deals with other countries, they have to trust us + want to work with us -- and i think it will take some time for that to happen -- at least with the countries we would have previously considered our allies.
8:12 am
rururocks

nope.. the best deal I can get is six months a year
8:13 am
rururocks

all of this division over a narcissistic sociopath's wound of losing an election.
8:13 am
crosshair

That trust will take a long time to return.
8:13 am
rururocks

that he couldn't/wouldn't accept
8:14 am
Sugrraleona

Hi - i'm reading all of you comments here - inasmuch as I either agree or disagree (as I don't like to talk politics - because I'm not up on everything), what rights have been taken away crosshair regarding body autonomy? I get certain people have been ostracized but I'm not understanding what rights have been taken away. I try to not watch the news anymore and stay off social media, because it's hard to tell what's true anymore.
8:15 am
rururocks

a woman's right to choose to have a baby and get necessary health care for pregnancy
8:15 am
crosshair

Exactly.
8:15 am
rururocks

that's for starters
8:16 am
Sugrraleona

you're referring to abortion? I believe it's been left up to the states to decide - not the federal government. We don't have free healthcare, a woman has a right to health care for pregnancy, they just have to pay for it - the right was not taken away - I don't believe.
8:17 am
rururocks

you're wrong
8:17 am
Sugrraleona

and there are free clinics
8:17 am
Sugrraleona

explain ruru please
8:17 am
rururocks

not in florida, missouri, texas, alabama and other states it's a crime for a doctor to aid in an abortion
8:18 am
rururocks

even if they go to a state where it is legal
8:18 am
rururocks

(texas law)
8:18 am
Sugrraleona

I'm unsure about that - so if I lived in Florida and wanted an abortion - and i go to New york to have it done, that's illegal?
8:18 am
rururocks

they are unfunding free clinics and passing laws (or tryinjg to ) in dozens of states
8:19 am
crosshair

Yes. This issue exactly. A woman should have total sutonomy over her body regardless of what state she lives in.
8:19 am
rururocks

I'm not sure about that but if you lived in texas you absolutely would / could be arrested
8:19 am
Sugrraleona

That I agree 100 percent Cross
8:20 am
Sugrraleona

but I think that's my point ruru - Texas law, not Federal law
8:20 am
crosshair

But it is not so at the moment, leona
8:21 am
crosshair

As ruru outlined
8:21 am
Sugrraleona

not in all states - I live in Ny, and I would not be breaking the law if I chose to have an abortion (obviously I cna't I'm 61 )
8:22 am
rururocks

they are slowly working the mechanisms to make it illegal in as many states as possible and to make it a crime to do interstate abortions
8:22 am
Sugrraleona

I thought I read earlier that you were blaming our government to taking away the rights - but it's not the government - its the states that choose to - I don't agree with any right regrding a woman's body should be taken away by the way.
8:22 am
crosshair

That is the main issues each state treats the other like they are an island nation where laws can be crated even though they are not just.
8:22 am
rururocks

they're losing in the courts but who knows the future
8:23 am
crosshair

State, governent. It is all in the same country. A "not in my back yard" does not justify it
8:24 am
rururocks

"the government cancelled roe vs wade" which allowed freedom for women nationwide for decades. it's a person's decision not a state government's decision
8:24 am
Sugrraleona

I get it cross - but unfortnately that's the way it is -
8:24 am
Sugrraleona

- can I get help with the te7?
8:25 am
rururocks

really small
8:25 am
crosshair

And there you go. "That is just the way it is" does not help the 24 year old girls in Florida that has yo carry a rape baby to tem.
8:25 am
crosshair

14 year old
8:25 am
crosshair

Term
8:25 am
Sugrraleona

dang, I never looked in that direciton - thanks ruru
8:26 am
crosshair

Sorry. Did not mean it to get so heavy, but it is happening.
8:27 am
phaeton

help with the last te7?
8:27 am
Sugrraleona

cross, there are exceptions to this in Florida - she can have an abortion, but there are time limits (which is ridiculous)
8:28 am
Sugrraleona

cross, of course - no need to apologize
8:28 am
Sugrraleona

Im glad we can discuss things, without anyone getting nasty
8:29 am
Sugrraleona

there's so much hate these days.
8:29 am
crosshair

Or that brain dead woman whose body was used as an incubator to bring a fetus to term. Horrible stuff.
8:29 am
rururocks

there are some here who go over the edge easily, but I feel you have to hear the other side while politely disagreeing
8:29 am
crosshair

Yes, must always keep it civil.
8:29 am
Sugrraleona

exactly ruru
8:30 am
Sugrraleona

Love thy neighbor LOL
8:30 am
rururocks

sure.. but not all of them
8:30 am

You must realize that you will always be an addict, and that you do it day by day. Each day you do not drink is like collecting a pearl. One day at a time until you suddenly realize you have made a necklace, and it feels good.

The tale deals with the adventure of Canadian deep icean rescue tugs during the war years until about 1960. Mowatt gives it such life and vision that you can almost taste the salt spray on your lips as you read.

For those Babblers who use E-book readers, I have some 300 or so novels saved on my computer in an E-pub format. There are a wide variety of authors and genres, incuding fifty ir so books that are currently banned in the U.S libraries and school systems. If anybody wants then, just e-mail me and I will send them as a lot via the "We Transfer" app.

There is an industrious individual who plays the Minecraft game. They have built a "Alexandria library" within the game, and filled it with books so that people living in opressed countries still have access to some of the worlds best literature. :)
