200+ Economists ought to know. From coast to coast in 🇨🇦, they signed an open letter about climate action by carbon pricing and what the evidence shows (5 key points). 1. "Not only does carbon pricing reduce emissions, but it does so at a lower cost than other approaches."
And just like that, all the right-wing epidemiologists and neurologists turned into marine mechanics, propulsion experts, and structural engineers overnight.
Imagine you're an average moron. You make $25/hr and bought a brand new BMW for $50,000. A catastrophic financial decision that should leave you bankrupt/homeless or both. Then the US Government decides it's going to offer 15yr 1% interest rate loans on all BMWs. Your BMW is…
Why do so many investors, including billion-dollar corporations, want to buy houses in Canada? Because it's the one asset where governments and bank regulators will do everything possible, including breaking their own banking guidelines To keep prices from falling ⤵️

Remember, the Russian Orthodox Church is not a church in the common sense of the word. It's a front for Russian intelligence
The Russian Orthodox Church holds the 25th congress of the "Russian world." They adopt a policy document: patriarchia.ru/db/text/611618… [in Russian]. I nearly spilled my coffee reading it. About every sentence is pure gold, but the gist is this:
While the funding source of the CDB is outlined in the legislation, the magnitude of the funding is and has not been set. What the disability community is looking for is a commitment for the amount as worries mount that the feds will only make the DTC refundable.
DWP is organizing an Emergency Phone Blitz from now until Friday, April 5 to flood the Finance Minister’s office with messages of support for a Canada Disability Benefit that will lift as many disabled folks as possible out of poverty.
And just like that, all the right-wing epidemiologists and neurologists turned into marine mechanics, propulsion experts, and structural engineers overnight.
