Also right after he said because of the Liberals ban on single used plastics, food somehow goes bad quicker??! how tf does that happen? and it's costing us over a billion dollars! hahahahaha

maybe think before you defend the piece of kyit next time. Not sure how any decent person can vote for such a deplorable piece of human waste.

Meat and potatoes is a very common standard dinner and common phrasing so much so that it's an adjective.

It's a callout to not being able to enjoy the basics and what used to be considered a fairly inexpensive meal.

You can read the whole press release, but I warn you, there are no solutions in it and he points out it's Carney's fault coffee beans are expensive. I guess maybe he could remove the Carney Coffee Consumption Charge. Down with C4.

Conservatives have seats, they can propose legislation that'll fix it if they think they can.

Or it's just another 'reee liberal taxes' statement with no actual point or substance to it

Wait wait wait...

“It’s time to end the hidden Liberal taxes on food so Canadians can bring home nutritious, affordable food and have meat and potatoes every night on the dinner table again.”

Do they really think that the food cost increases are due to HIDDEN TAXES?

What the #### kind of conspiracy ass bull#### is this? ####ing hell.

Nothing but ridiculous complaining. No potential solutions brought forth.

I've heard of the term. Maybe in the 1980s..... lol Talk about being out of touch.

Now couple that with his screechy whining voice..... you'd want to yak your meat and potatoes.

If anyone actually wants to see what factors they see affecting food prices this year, and what might affect them next year, the report is here, and if you just scroll down a bit on the linked page(not report)they have the factors listed under "The following key factors significantly affected food prices in Canada this year:"

Maybe instead of you whining about how it’s all on Alberta, you should be whining about how much of your tax money your politicians used starting frivolous and fabricated lawsuits that they knew they were going to lose. It wasn’t Horgan being “good”. It was Horgan doing things he knew were a complete waste of taxpayer money, but knowing he had a complete idiot in Ottawa that wouldn’t call him on his ####.

I guarantee Carney won’t stand for that bull####.

This is a funny post because you could replace it with Alberta/Smith and it would be the same.

Not saying i disagree at all. just funny

Going back to the outset, this is just not how it works. Or how it's supposed to work. It's an interprovincial pipeline under federal jurisdiction. No province is asking another province to do anything, it's not supposed to be up to them. As much as the right in this province may hate it, the country was set up with a strong central federal government, essentially the opposite of what the USA did in leaving residual authority to the states. The constitution was deliberately designed that way to avoid exactly what BC and Quebec have tried to do to pipelines forever: frustrate projects that are in the national interest due to regional priorities.

The feds can decide that BC votes are more important than Alberta votes and proceed accordingly, if they want to be politically motivated rather than motivated by what's actually the right move from the perspective of national prosperity. But that's up to them, not up to BC or AB.

Do we have a mildly derogatory term for them? Lobsters? Can't trust a lobster... Bluenosers? Cove Peggers? Gotta be something in here.
