I kinda hoped that High Schools had improved in the past 20 years. Guess not.

Canadians are too ignorant to ever get behind that. Everyone I’ve talked with (trades, management, factory labour) thinks that UBI would take money out of their pocket and give it to the lazy and undeserving, despite the fact that many of them would benefit from it.
But these are the same people that think all teachers are lazy, overpaid, babysitters and public transit is a waste of money.
I fucking love it. I would totally put in 5 bucks a month to have stuff like this become a permanent fixture of Canada.
How about we switch to ACTUAL public healthcare, not one where hospitals and doctors offices have to turn a profit delivering services at a price set by the government?
13 year old small pickup with a 2L and 5-speed: best car I ever bought. No computers, can haul a half ton of stuff and only uses 7-8L/100KM when commuting.
If the energy source is coal
Comparing one fossil fuel to a worse one is not a valid argument. Electricity generation is being pushed towards nuclear and renewables for the foreseeable future.
You don’t have to know what the need is today. But knowing how ridiculously expensive it is to install later should be all the warning people need.
Humans don’t need any additional gasses to survive. The only reason we use methane is that it was once very cheap and we didn’t know how bad it was in the longterm. All of our other needs are met by electricity (energy), water, or a trip to a store, if for some reason the xXxBox9080 needs a compressed gas cylinder in 2030 you can go pick it up. Throwing resources in a literal hole in the ground today because we might find a use for it tomorrow is not good planning.
Also because we’re already stressing electric infrastructure with what we use now
This is propaganda.
On the hottest day last week Ontario hyrdo demand was ~24000MW, last night it went as low as 12000MW. There is room to almost double the baseload in Ontario, with actually smart appliances and controls (not SmartTM shit) a ton of fossil fuel heating loads could be replaced with electric without needing any grid level upgrades.
Methane has to be compressed for both transportation in pipes and storage in tanks, a very energy expensive process. Or it can be chilled down and condensed to a liquid for bulk transportation in ships, also a very energy expensive process. Every single joint and valve in the distribution network has the potential to leak, and many of them do, the same goes for storage tanks. Also pressure regulators (like the one on the side of your house) have to vent to bring down the pressure when the network house pressure is too high.
Natural gas distribution networks are extremely leaky.
Any time you say nuclear power most people think of Homer Simpson and Fukushima. Canada could be cranking out reactors and fuel for local and international use but it’s ‘too dangerous.’
Unless the round trip efficiency of synthesized methane (synthesis, transportation and re-capture) is better than solar/hydro/nuke electricity it doesn’t make sense build our own hydrocarbons. There are also the cumulative health effects of burning methane in your house and that it is serious greenhouse gas.
The boat salesman says you need a boat.
YOU pay for the infrastructure, YOU pay for the maintenance, YOU pay for the gas. Why would they stop now?
That’s what I get for using autocorrect.
There are NO parties in Canada that represent non-corporate interests.
When your government commits crimes against its country wholesale, there is nothing you can do that even compares. Abuse self-checkouts, cook your taxes, split your internet connection across 3 houses. You will never do a thousandth of the damage they do to you.
I have a 30km commute of mostly 50-70km/h roads.
edit: 7.8L/100km on the last fill
I have one of those 2 seater pickups from 2010. Best vehicle ever, 7-8L/100km and the same size box as the whale behind it.
How about all those MPs who at the direction of a foreign entity increased the capacity of that foreign entity to harm Canada?
“File Browser” or “Sharry” allow you to make public links to share files with others BUT you need to run them on a server that is accessible to both parties.
Betteridge’s law of headlines: No. Canada is not taking far-right extremism seriously.
That says more about the disgusting state of Canadian infrastructure than in does about electronic payment. A lot of places could’t operate their POS at all without an internet connection.
