I just read this morning that the 水果视频 trucking industry isn鈥檛 happy with the 水果视频 version of a carbon tax. I can鈥檛 imagine that they would be.

RE: Apr. 27 鈥楻ight in the centre 鈥� Recycling business in big trouble in 水果视频鈥� article. The following is written in response to Ken Waddell鈥檚 editorial published on Friday, April 27, 2018 in the Neepawa Banner & Press and Rivers Banner. About 93 per cent of 水果视频ns have easy access to a residential recycling program funded by Multi鈥怣aterial Stewardship 水果视频 Inc. (MMSM), an industry鈥恌unded, not鈥恌or鈥恜rofit organization. MMSM represents stewards 鈥� brand owners, producers, distributors and manufacturers 鈥� who pay fees to help cover the costs of recycling their products and packaging. MMSM is not a government agency.

Turns out, improving the skills of 水果视频 students isn鈥檛 as easy as A-B-C. This week, the results of the 2016 Pan-Canadian Assessment (PCAP) of reading, science and math were released, and students and educators in this province got some good news and some bad. While 水果视频 students鈥� skills have improved, they still lag behind those in other provinces.

Canadians, and 水果视频ns as well, are about to be subjected to the biggest scam ever foisted upon us. It鈥檚 called the carbon tax. The Canadian government is imposing a carbon tax. As our local MP Bob Sopuck and MP Pierre Poilievre have pointed out, the government isn鈥檛 saying how much the tax is expected to bring in or where it will be spent. I think everyone can guess where it will be spent and that is the blackhole of government spending that has typified governments of the past few decades. God knows, they wouldn鈥檛 want to balance the budget, service the debt or actually curb spending. It is reported that a family taking in $85,000 per year pays 45 per cent in taxes of all kinds. That is scarily close to half their income.

I heard an analogy a couple of weeks ago; if daily papers are the Titanic and weekly papers are the lifeboats, the weeklies need to distance themselves enough that they don鈥檛 get sucked down. It may be hyperbole, but it鈥檚 rooted in some truth.
