Nope! I've drank straight from the sap collecting bucket many times and not had any problems.

If it's sold commercially though, it'd need some sort of treatment like pasteurisation. Sap sucker brand probably already does this

There was no codes language on dropping the carbon tax. He explicitly said he'd drop it in his acceptance speech. He also said he would not increase capital gains tax.

But he is still the only candidate with a remote chance of depeating PP.

Arkel Bike Bags Are Made in Canada and Backed by a Lifetime Warranty | and Thoughts on Transport Resilience (arkel.ca)
 

Their panniers are made in Canada and the company is Canadian, based out of Sherbrooke, Quebec. All of their products have a lifetime warranty.

Ontarians get a lot of their oil from red states like Texas, North Dakota, and Indiana since we don't have the infrastructure to only use Canadian oil. Similarly, Quebec gets the majority of its oil from the USA and Algeria.

For Ontarians who live in cities where many trips are within a few kilometres, replacing the occassional car trip with a bike ride will reduce our dependance on American gasoline. If Ontario uses less gas, then we will cut down on American oil imports while the core stays from Canadian sources.

Lastly, having the ability to get around by bicycle builds resilience so you have a backup option if oil prices suddenly skyrocket, you suffer job/financial loss, etc. At the risk of changing topics, do not discount public transit either which supports local jobs and your municipal economy.

What soil brands should we choose instead of Scotts Miracle-Gro (Monsanto) (sh.itjust.works)
 

As the spring planting season begins soon, it is best to support a local soil yard and farmers who sell composted maneure.

What are our Canadian options for store-bought bags of soil when we're in a pinch?
