Don’t take anything the government says at face value.

“Don’t take anything the government says at face value.” Never have and never will.
If plain packaging worked, governments would expect all vehicles to be the same color in hopes to reduce carbon emissions.
But, but, but it’s the good intentions that count! It always does with Liberals. Actual results are secondary, no matter the cost to taxpayers.
We, as a society, need to figure out a way of holding progressives/liberals responsible for the consequences of their policies rather than the morally superior intentions that they use to force their will on us.
For example, if a Syrian “refugee” commits assault, rape, or murder here in Canada then Justin Trudeau should face any and all charges related to the offense.
I know, never going to happen, but politicians would think twice about policy if they were held accountable in real ways rather than just at the voting booth.
Same bullshit is probably going on here: smoking rates are dropping because they just don’t see the Indian cigarettes.
Just another guy in the pay of Big Arithmetic.
Math is racist, or something…
I am reliably informed that in Canada while smoking rates have indeed fallen that revenue from tobacco taxes has actually increased.
I state clearly here that I engaged the public health machine with passion for ten years and anything that pack of corrupt, brain dead place keepers is so against MUST have an upside they are not talking about.
In fact, I believe they have somehow coerced manufacturers to make smokes burn faster so those of who love them must buy more. My rationale is not scientific, but subjective. I used to do a lot of long haul solo driving in my misspent youth (Regina to St. Catherine’s in 31 hours solo non stop being my personal best). To stay awake and pass time I used to chain smoke…6 smokes/hour. On a recent trip I noticed 6 smokes in 30 minutes and had an aha moment…anyone else have similar experience?
Smoke mild cigarettes and you tend to smoke twice as many.
I wonder how long it will take for these freedom of information regulations to vanish.
or come with ‘data collation fees’ in the 5 digits.
anybody got a light?
I believe that there has been a huge increase in people of psychiatric meds that coincides with reduced tobacco consumption. Most hard core smokers are self medicating for psychiatric conditions. If people can get medical marijuana they should also be able to get medical tobacco, and smoke it where ever and whenever they want.
“Legit” Indian smokes are still taxable. Duty must be paid in order for the manufacturers to keep their license.

Here’s another whopper from the usual climate change suspects:
“NOAA settled science: Earth at 58.24F in 2014 was allegedly hotter than Earth at 62.45F in 1997.”
NOAA Global Analysis- Annual 1997: The global average temperature of 62.45 degrees Fahrenheit for 1997 was the warmest year on record, surpassing the previous record set in 1995 by 0.15 degrees Fahrenheit.”
NOAA Global Analysis- Annual 2014: The average temperature for the year [2014] was 0.69°C (1.24°F) above the 20th century average of 13.9°C (57.0°F) [ie 58.24F] , beating the previous record warmth of 2010 and 2005 by 0.04°C (0.07°F).”
No wait, we forgot the “adjustments.” http://tomnelson.blogspot.ca/2015/02/noaa-settled-science-earth-at-5824f-in.html
That guy should be working for the CBC!! Get a load of this CBC falsification of facts!!
The headline says: ”Justin Trudeau distances himself from Harper at World Economic Forum in Davos.” I don’t know if the photo will still be there when you click on the story, however I am one person who believes that the CEO of Royal Dutch Shell would prefer to do business with Stephen Harper than with Mr. Trudeau who bashes big oil and pipelines at every opportunity?? http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/justin-trudeau-arrives-davos-world-economic-forum-1.3411041
I assume there are some regular ZeroHedge readers here? That site is usually pretty rife with doom porn, but OMFG lately it’s gone hardcore BDSM doom porn. Unbelievable stuff over there and more and more about the financial and social implosion of our beloved Canuckistan.
(And seconding a question on another thread – where did Occam go? Anyone know?)
Big companies will do photo ops with anyone if it advances their cause. And, don’t forget, there are probably a fair few pension plans who have shares in RDS and who need the dividends to continue. Just what is in the CPP portfolio?
Markton, if we could beat them about the ears twice a day every time they lied and or screwed up, they might get the message, but I doubt it.
Francis, the CPP portfolio is represented by numbers on paper and all monies come from general revenue. The government likes to say that the money is invested but the reality is otherwise. The OAS also just comes out of general revenue. You or I would be jailed for such accounting practices. Try and find the billions that exist in the so called employment insurance fund, formerly the unemployment fund.

Hijacked cigarettes, robbery loot cigarettes, smuggled American cigarettes, smuggled fake-American-cigarettes-made-in-China, bullshit-government-cigarette stats. We’ll never, ever know.
LOL. Well-done.
