You say they should have the same access to our market that we have to theirs. The problem with this argument is that their economy and production capabilities are 10x what ours are. If we open up to the same degree, they will crush our tiny market by just flooding it easily. You can't have "equal" access when one economy is 10x the size of the other. We are not equal economies. Yes Canada punches above its weight, but not to the same level as the US. This is why we need to be careful to not let them just flood us. Check the difference between equal vs equitable.

Profits over service every time. In every industry. We're so screwed.
Canada Dry isn't Canadian anymore. It was bought by an American company in 2008.
I only want the Chinese cars if they prove they can adhere to our safety standards. Their "virtual testing" isn't good enough IMO. As long as they adhere to proper safety protocols, then sure. I refuse to drive a cheaper but blatantly less-safe vehicle.
-Looks around at Saskatchewan where the (smaller) rural vote is given more seats than the more populated cities-
Wut?
Oulu's averages are warmer than Saskatchewan and Manitoba generally speaking. Still not a direct comparison, but I appreciate the info anyway.
I'd be really curious to know how long and cold of a winter they are talking about.
For example: would this work in Saskatchewan or Manitoba where the snow starts falling near Halloween and isn't gone until May? With regular temperatures below -20C and severe cold snaps below -40C?
We're part of Canada too.
The word "price" isn't mentioned once in the article at all, so they obviously completely ignored that as a possibility, but I agree with you. I shop for affordable groceries first and foremost. If that means going to a local "specialty" grocer who is cheaper than the big oligopoly chains, then so be it.
Look for local craft or art shows. This can help you find local crafters that make some common items like socks, soaps, etc. Hand-knitted socks are the best.
Other than that, for more commercial things, watch labeling (as you already are), go to farmer's markets, choose local grocer cooperatives (they're more likely to carry locally produced goods), etc.
These aren't bins of glowing green ooze like in the cartoons. Most waste products are solid and are stored in heavy duty, shielded bins. Kyle Hill on YouTube created a really good video that demonstrated walking through a storage facility and literally hugging one of the bins. His rad meter was perfectly normal the whole time. He also examines other risks as well as the risks of other methods of power generation.

Here's the one where he hugs the waste casks:
I agree... But then all of the provincial premiers would whine about "muh jurisdiction!"
Look at what happened with Alberta and the recent changes to nationalized subsidies for certain common medications.
Our provincial governments are actively inhibiting the system from getting better.

Posts, bobbles, cables, twisted stitches, and lace. This pattern has listed these attributes. So I would start by learning them each individually and practicing them separately. Those are all kind of finicky things on their own. Combined with each other, definitely makes this an advanced pattern. It's beautiful, and a wonderful goal, but be gentle with yourself and don't rush into it or it could permanently affect your enjoyment of crochet.
