Aren't a lot of these problems distilled down to common law in Canada?

There's been so many precedents set in rulings in the past that it almost seems judges are handicapped in attributing proper punishment as a result.

Anecdotal. But would help explain some of the price surging we are seeing of beef. It's not tariffs or taxes or the gov't is out to get you, or the farmers are out to get you. We are still dealing with the fallout of covid

I still remember that during the pandemic I picked up a prime brisket from Costco for like $60. I guess because all the restaurants were shut down.

I've never seen prime briskets at my Costco again before or ever since after. Always just AAA.

I’ve heard the same thing every year for the last 10 years with whatever reason they choose. We are somehow always short on cattle, but somehow prices go up 10 fold but somehow it’s not profitable to raise beef anymore.
It’s 5 things.
A lack of skilled meat cutters. They bring in cheap labour via TFWs, who can’t cut worth a fuck and turn 90% of a cow into ground beef.
Price of feed. Cows gotta eat too. Food is expensive, even for hay and slop.
Land is expensive, and somehow developing farmland at an alarming rate isn’t treated like it’s going to create food shortages.
Supply chain.
How many warehouses are needed to supply places. We basically pay 10 people to touch the beef instead of 1. So many middlemen profiting off of providing no value whatsoever.
Grocery stores making record profits. The buyer can say whatever he wants, but one look at what they made last year shows their part of it.

The food professor at Dalhousie -- Sylvain Charlebois -- has mentioned more than a few times that Canadian and American cattle inventory is at some historic low point. US inventory, in particular, is the same as they were back in the 50's (or something along those lines), but our population has obviously increased significantly compared to the 50's. So the lack of inventory is certainly one of the main reasons for high beef prices.

That dudes the loblaws/superstore dick rider.

The guy could be on the Weston's payroll, but I don't suppose the cattle inventory figures are something he (or anybody else) can make up. At the end of the day, supply and demand is a very simple economic constant that will always prevail.

Demand for beef in the same period per person has gone down substantially, and the ease of getting international products has also gone up substantially.
I’m definitely not claiming to know more than a professor that teaches about these things, but if he does have an angle like manic says, he’s probably doing a pretty good job of leaving out whole numbers.
Although Jordan Peterson is also a professor, so knowing anything at all is optional I suppose.

Job cuts in the public sector?

Since 2015, federal employees went up by 42% in under 10 years

Create a problem, solve it half-assedly, pat yourself on the back.

Prof. Peterson was an excellent prof. I took a course with him when I was at UofT, not knowing who he was, and way before he became famous. He was def. a very engaging prof. and it was memorable class.

That explains a lot.

:confused:

???

I was confused by this comment.

I think westopher meant that VRYALT3R3D took a course from Jordan Peterson and loved it ... therefore it explains his views.

Well yeah, bro. It was a great course and he was a great professor. There was a reason he was teaching at the top school in Canada for many years. I think he was the chair of the department too at one point.

Little PP's Twitter posts are just soooooooo damn sad. The whole video of him on the quad looked so forced and lame as fuck. I mean, if he posted an AI slop video of him doing flips and shit set to a rock-inspired O Canada, it would still be cooler than 90% of his feed.

Just going by Twitter:

Carney - Getting things done, serious, focused, sprinkle of woke shit but not much
Little PP - Zero vision for the future, zero inspiration, just "Carney bad!"

I bet I could make a 2 minute, AI-slop trailer for a new Real Canadian Conservative political party that would be more inspiring than anything the CPC has put out in years...

PP’s upcoming byelection is a microcosm of everything he does wrong.

The riding he picked to oust the incumbent in, I can almost guarantee they said “Who won by the biggest percentage in their riding” cuz it’s like some buttfuck farm town of 100,000 people and they voted like 70+% conservative… he will of course win, but I bet he loses another 15% which is actually a colossal failure in that riding. They’re none too happy in media I see locally with the idea of some Ottawa fucker coming in to use them to get a seat and then never come there or do anything about their issues when the guy they voted in is a local farmer in the community that by all reports works pretty hard for them.

The people there should be absolutely insulted, but something tells me “stickin it to the Libs” is important enough to them that he will still get his seat back.

They posted some interviews from some people there and yeah, people aren’t too happy to be a pawn in this political game.
There was also another candidate however who was receiving a bunch of death threats for running against PP, so it sounds like there are the con or nothing people around. Could just be one fucking loser doing it through a bunch of burner accounts. Hopefully something is done about that.

PP still hasn’t offered much on tariffs or the economy, instead it's mostly pandering to the base with dog-whistle talking points. It's safe to say he’s playing the long game: say little, rile up supporters, and hope Carney and the Liberals collapse. Smart politics maybe, but not exactly inspiring leadership.

All PP is doing is trying to keep his free house and staff for another election cycle. How he’s party leader off of a collapse like that is beyond me. Every would be conservative voter basically has said they would have voted that way to get the libs out but they couldn’t stomach such a fuckin weasel as the prime minister.

Then PP has to deal with the separationists in AB ... wonder if that rural riding is rethinking which party to vote for. If somehow he loses, it will be the end of PP.

He ain’t even an MP lol?

Like at this point of course it’s better to say nothing. He looks like a fucking clown right now
