Pulp and paper has been a dying industry. Any foreign investment is good. They don't own the forests nor the land. There are low barriers to entry. If there is demand and higher margins someone can start up or invest more. This is one sector I wouldn't worry about.

I don't have a dog in this fight. I see wrongs being done by both sides in this decades-old war. The self-censorship I am seeing taking place at all kinds of institutions and organizations in the richest democracies is quite alarming. This is the kind of atmosphere people under authoritarian rules live in - speaking as someone who's lived in those types of places. Not a democracy.

RandAlThor OP ,

What kind of exploitative capitalism do we have in Canada? And how is this allowed? This is utterly ridiculous!

RandAlThor OP ,

Yeah it's not just Canada. It's done in every industrialized country. They do this in Europe including Scandinavian countries where they import African labor for agriculture (for instance they bring in African pickers for blue berries, etc). Same in Japan and Korea I believe.

About time.

Russian forces push deeper into northern Ukraine ( www.bangkokpost.com )

In the past three days, Russian troops, backed by fighter jets, artillery and lethal drones, have poured across Ukraine’s northeastern border and seized at least nine villages and settlements, and more territory per day than at almost any other point in the war, save the very beginning.

RandAlThor OP ,

A lot of money for poor refugee families who lost their homes to the war in Myanmar running from there and having no livelihood (likely was subsistence farming in the rugged hills of Chin state) no status in India to earn wages in India.

RandAlThor OP ,

And their crime was running from a war at home where their homes had been burned to the ground by a military junta.

RandAlThor OP ,

For some with limited choices, this would be a challenge. Living in a large metropolitan area, I am fortunate to have alternatives.

RandAlThor OP ,

Yes when the grocery price increases are higher than inflation's rate of increase. When profits of grocery chains are rising higher than rate of inflation in general, they are using inflation as an excuse to keep jacking up prices.

RandAlThor ,

I am. There are alternatives and I can easily avoid them. Others may not be in the same position.
