Shut up and sit down.

Man, in Canada the man freezing bank accounts of who speaks freely.

They should really meet with the port people and see if they could slash their 10% profit margin to 2% for 3 years.

And make a law to make all food duty free. Like eggs.

I think this " former price control commissioner" spoke out of turn.

But the govt has to put some skin on it. they should change the law so as not to charge vat on top of duty. That should reduce the landed cost veyr efficiently.

It is illegal to mark up VAT.

Is it? Where do I report? I know for sure of some places that markup vat, ie. included as landed cost and multiply by 1 point whatever.

But since the items are not price controled they can just state they marked up by a higher amount.

The threats no longer work. People now have more friends who had it and never went ot the hospitals than people who died.

And Facebook even Called out the British Medical Journal, the oldest and very prestigious medical journal, for misinformation. Only because the article was liked by he famous who did not toe the line.

I guess Jean Luc Montangnier and Robert Malone never been to Science class because they saw Fauci teaching and ran.

The only thing larger merchants could do is not to mark up the vat, as they get vat back.

The smaller merchants who get a portion of the vat back could exclude that portion.

Let's say:

$1000 CFI
$ 300 customs duty
$ 130 vat
$ 170 broker

1600.00

markup 80%

Sell for 2880

But, since you get the vat back

your out ot pocket becomes 1470

markup 80%

sell for 2646

That is all one can do. and I think some larger merchants do that already. Many do not, but I do not patronize these establishments.

I do not understand why govt will "talk' to the merchants unless they are prepared not to charge VAT on top of duty to further reduce the thing.

> the healthcare system may not be overwhelmed.

I do not exist to safeguard the health system.

I avoid hospitals because that's the most likely place to catch covid.

The vaccine does not work for omicron. If you have not been vaxxed, why bother?

If you have been vaxxed, why bother?

Soon it will be lower than 40%. I have heard many people say they will not take a booster.

Well, I said this before, I do not mind the current restrictions as they are not enforced.

I wear a disintegrating mask so people leave me alone. Not buying any more masks.

Let's just hope the truckers can stop this so called annual shot mandate for all age groups. And that a couple of these emerging lawsuits get through.

Nah. No republic, they all want to be Sir.

The local honours are a consolation prize tothe minor living legends.
