But doesn’t it depend on how power is distributed in the US? I don’t think it’s centralized…I believe it’s very regional. So any impact would be felt by the PNW alone…and I don’t see Trump caring at all if Washington State is complaining to him about energy prices. It might actually work to the benefit of oil and gas states, which would have the opposite effect.
I may be wrong, but just pointing out that it’s more complex than just “imports” and “exports”
You might be right, but I wonder if it’s simpler than that. I think he just wants payback on every person ever who embarrassed or angered him. So he’s burning it all to the ground in order to hurt the people who voted against him…whatever makes Dems most angry is what he wants to do. In that sense, he’s easily manipulated by his inner circle of grifters and foreign strongmen that he idolizes.
1 day old account, look at the post history. I doubt that person is even Canadian.
Unfortunately no that’s not true. Even if duty is not owed, GST is still charged (based on the declared value) as I found out yesterday. $3.50 in GST $38 in brokerage fees added on by UPS. Fuck these guys, it’s predatory.
Hey this is a late reply, but what do you do when it’s not a commercial purchase? My mother insists on sending me packages from abroad through UPS and I get screwed with duty. Any ideas how to self clear this?
Missing data, or a missing prediction…since the chart is showing a difference between the two. It’s possible the model for those areas had some issue. I agree it’s worth questioning.
I’m glad this is working for you. When I tried (a few years ago), UPS refused to send the commercial invoice and bounced me around from person to person on the phone, all of whom seemed to have no idea what I was asking for. My partner tried and had the same experience. I think we tried about 5 different times and got nowhere.
For us, they had delivered the boxes while we weren’t home and then sent the bills later and then to collections (their own private collections company as it turns out). We sent a demand letter to them requesting proof that we accepted the delivery (we obviously hadn’t), and ultimately never heard another word from them. Collections letters and phone calls stopped. Not saying this will work for everyone, but we were relieved as we didn’t actually owe any duty (we were shipping our own stuff) and tried so hard to complete the process the right way.
Rainy on the coast but roads in the interior can get dicey if there’s snow. Stick to major highways.
You’ll still need a work permit to work in Canada, even for a US company remotely. So hopefully you’re up to speed on that process. In terms of where to live, there are some places in BC outside major cities that are affordable. Might be worth taking a road trip around to check some out
CBC meaning Columbia Bible College for anyone confused
Dude, just put a “no junk mail” sticker on your mailbox and it will stop. https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/cpc/en/personal/consumers-choice.page
50% lethality in humans, not wildlife
The eclipse is more dangerous actually… The visible light is reduced so your pupil expands. But a lot of UV light comes from the corona of the sun which isn’t blocked during the eclipse. So your pupils are more open allowing in more of the harmful UV light. And to add to it, your eyes don’t realize they are being harmed by UV light without the visible so you don’t have that impulse to look away.
They’re overly clear on the physical presence requirement and the consequences for sending your application too early. It sucks for him, but it’s also not hard to wait an extra week to apply just to be absolutely sure.
Are you sure the tv channels are free? I’m only familiar with Germany: you can get a ton of channels as well but you have to essentially pay a tax for having a tv.
Yep, worked there during the changeover. 2003-04ish. I actually loved working there under the old management, the food was good, quality was the priority. Then the fryers left, replaced by industrial microwaves…but we still baked the muffins. I’m sure even those are frozen/reheated these days.
