My 99-year-old Mom died this week and as her executor, I'm charged with removing all of her precious things in her apartment. I live in another city and the logistics of selling furniture, china cabinets, etc. are impossible, so I'm calling the junk man. Why do I feel so damned guilty?

Since Brian Mulroney, Canadians have been taught that foreign "investment" is a good thing. For all these decades, some of us have been warning that it's simply a non-violent way to U.S. annexation. Now, it's our national parks. I lament what we've lost and continue to lose.

Really good summary and debunking of the major arguments used by those claiming the former consumer carbon tax, and the current large-emitter trading systems (i.e. "industrial carbon tax"), are responsible for food inflation in Canada. Once again, spoiler: THEY'RE NOT.
