Sweet dreams….
Most jurisdictions in Canada have been lifting the carbon tax off the consumer price of gasoline. Along with that, the carbon credit may be on its way out. Hard to say when everything fits together but it seems to be the moniker that is driving it.
Well, if people feel empowered by it, It’s probably the right thing to do.
So, We wonder where the next excise taxes will be stuck into, some consumer things somewhere. I wonder if it’ll be cars or are they going to be relying on tariffs?
Don’t bring your tariffs to town. Billy boy Billy boy.
Taxidermied? skinned, cleaned, hung out to dry.
Barbecuing ribs involves seasoning them with a spice rub, preparing a barbecue sauce, and cooking them low and slow over indirect heat. An advantage of using an open fire on a spit is that it allows for even cooking and great flavor development, as the smoke infuses the meat while it’s turning, creating a crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender. Additionally, this method can enhance the rustic flavor of the ribs, giving them a unique charred and smoky profile.
A “fact” can be defined as:
* Something that has actual existence:
* This emphasizes the objective reality of a fact.
* A piece of information presented as having objective reality:
* This highlights that facts are meant to represent the way things truly are.
* A truth verifiable from experience or observation:
* This stresses the importance of evidence and confirmation in establishing a fact.
In essence, a fact is something that is considered to be true and can be supported by evidence. It’s distinct from opinions or beliefs, which are subjective.

Subjectivity means that it’s subject to other people’s opinion on what’s true or real or factual. So in one sense, subjectivity is a fact, meaning that is out there + the best objectivity is when there’s virtual unanimity about what is + is true in a particular experience. However, this dynamic can be cooked by repetition of a lie or a subjective opinion as well as making it sensational so that it gets repeated enough that people believe it to be a fact. So the fact is, that’s what people believed at that time.

Devil horn eclipse…
It’s exciting to look ahead at upcoming solar eclipses! Here’s a breakdown of some key ones, with a focus on those that might be of interest to those in Canada:
Key Upcoming Solar Eclipses:
* August 12, 2026 (Total):
* This total solar eclipse will be visible in Greenland, Iceland, and Spain. This is significant because parts of Europe will get to see a total solar eclipse.
* August 2, 2027 (Total):
* This eclipse will be visible across a path that includes parts of Spain, North Africa, and the Middle East, with a very long totality. This will be a very long duration total eclipse.
* July 22, 2028 (Total):
* This total solar eclipse will be visible in Australia and New Zealand.
* November 25, 2030 (Total):
* This total solar eclipse will be visible in southern Africa and Australia.
* March 30, 2033 (Total):
* This total solar eclipse will be visible in Russia and Alaska U.S.A. Therefore alaskan people could see this event.
Regarding Canada and the “equesterone coast”:
* It’s important to clarify that “equesterone coast” isn’t a standard geographical term. However, if we’re considering the western coast of Canada, the opportunities to view total solar eclipses will vary.
* Generally, for those on the western coast of Canada, partial solar eclipses are more common. To see a total solar eclipse, one would likely need to travel.
* The April 8th 2024 total solar eclipse did cross eastern Canada, so those people had a great opportunity to view that eclipse.
* For future total eclipses, looking at the paths of totality in the provided information, it is apparent that traveling will be required to see those events. The 2033 total eclipse, being visible in Alaska, will be the closest total solar eclipse in the near future, for those living on the western coast of Canada.
Important Notes:
* Always use proper eye protection when viewing any solar eclipse.
* Websites like NASA and Timeanddate.com provide detailed information and maps of eclipse paths.
I hope this helps!
The local A&W in Merritt BC, changed its signage to be more Canadian. Recently. The chain has over a thousand outlets in Canada. And on its side entry door it says Canadian owned and operated a turn to the inside facing away and not meant to be seen by the drive-thru customers.
I remember the go-to photo of the United States in the hilarious John Candy movie Canadian bacon.
