a billion in gross revenue... what percentage of those sales were labour costs covered by those transactions? agrevate the consumer with restricted choices, be it prohibition of sorts and it will backfire and jobs will be lost. Alcohol is a luxury for the most part, some 83% of Fruit and Veg consumed in Canada comes from the U.S. and Mexico, where well over 50% of all Meat, Dairy and the byproducts are from there. The U.S. not getting Canadian products is a hick-up to their economy, Canada not getting the U.S. products means line-ups at the grocers and food banks and will be devastating to Canadians. a Push on Canadian Frozen goods and Can Goods (not much of any fresh produce to feed our population in winter, if it wasn't planned for and reserves were not increased with yields able to sustain Canadians) so if an average of 69 percent of the food supply comes from south of the boarder how do Canadians get by on a diminished food supply of down to 31%? by choking on food inflation??

Does anyone remember Elmer the Safety Elephant? SSM Police Services bicycle training program? Under the law bikes are vehicles. Cyclists are considered operators of that vehicle. These vehicles have always been on the road in a shared capacity with Motor Vehicles, with each type of vehicle/operator abiding by the laws. Stripes/markings on the ground are a waste of money, especially when the traffic laws by cyclists are for the most part entirely ignored today. Stripes/Markings don't come from a sense of initiating a program of safety on the roads, driver/operator training does. What majority of cyclists indicate the legal requirement for lane change or turn/stop hand signals? Where is enforcement of existing laws, (which instills change of habit of an unsafe operator) for riding the wrong direction in lanes, running lights, cycling on sidewalks over age? This won't improve safety, no matter what global fund city borrows from, or taxing us for doubling the striping budget.
