Japan will increase its gasoline subsidy to ¥5 per litre (4 cents) tomorrow as oil prices rise. The subsidy has a hard cap at that level -- but local media said the government is planning a meeting to address rising fuel prices on Thursday and may lift the subsidy further #OOTT
Do you remember when **two months ago** the #COP26 agreed to phase-out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies?
Well, today, Japan has formally **given its oil refiners a direct subsidy** of 3 cents per liter of gasoline⛽, so they keep their margins and don't raise retail prices

Inflation control by The Bank of Canada is one of the most important issues in this election.
We cannot re-elect a Prime Minister who asks us to “forgive him” for not thinking about monetary policy.

There you have it - our Prime Minister doesn’t think about monetary policy.
That’s why we have runaway debt and inflation that is decimating our standard of living.
This election we have to vote in a government that is serious about Canada’s finances.

1) It is humanly impossible not to be inspired by a Rod Brind'Amour pump-up speech

Newly fresh heifers have to process a lot of changes on the day they give birth. Making their initial milking a pleasant experience can be aided with some advance training.
