I don’t drive much anymore because of the cost of gasoline; however, giving the small tax break in diesel fuel some thought, I would sooner donate my 10-cent discount to the truckers who have to increase their transportation cost for the food they deliver. I would donate my share to the farmers who will also have to “up their prices” for the food they grow because of diesel costs. The price of Diesel fuel has not dropped much despite the widespread implications it has on consumers. Does the tax on Gas make sense to you? Na. “” Could it be done better? “” I would think. Diesel equipment did not get any tax relief, and we will feel that tenfold.

Today, I’m just an opinionated Canadian writer with time on my hands. The world is a different place today, including the Donald Trump saga that ‘keeps on giving.’ That alone gives me lots to write and comment on. Check out more of my stories at … flippen.ca

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada ‘abandoning’ international law with support for U.S. strikes on Iran, say former diplomats
0·3 months agoI am sad that our Prime Minister endorsed this illegal act by the US and Israel. What would happen when and if Canada decides to manufacture its own nukes for protection? International Law must be only a guideline that you can cross whenever the mood strikes you.
The monarchy has never commented or defended Canada in any way during Trump’s first or second term. I would not hold my breath waiting for the Brits to help us.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada's grocery code of conduct kicks in today, with buy-in from 5 major grocers
0·5 months agoSo that’s why the groceries were so expensive today.
The authorities must have known back then, that’s the part that bothers me the most.



I would like to see Canada go into Cuba and help straighten out their farming issues, and our dependence on the United States ’ off-season fresh food supply. It helps them with curancy issues,
