A nice method for large corporations through policies of their politicians to sink small business and competition.

The racket just destroys and adds debt while China smiles at the lack if pressure applied to them


Going net zero isn't easy — at least, not in this economy. Just ask Asha Wheeldon.

Since she started her business she's had to endure COVID-19, inflation and the current trade war with the U.S.

"We are definitely shaken to our core to be able to maintain the mission," Wheeldon told What On Earth guest host Stephanie Skenderis.

As the owner of Kula Foods in Vancouver, Wheeldon sells Afro-Caribbean-inspired, plant-based meals, with a focus on local ingredients and sustainability.

And she's one of many business owners who are grappling with the desire to go net zero while operating a profitable business.

Canada hopes to get to net zero emissions by 2050, meaning it hopes to balance how much greenhouse gas emissions are produced with how much is being removed from the atmosphere. And with more than one million small businesses in Canada, it will take effort from owners to make that happen.
