@ruthefordml I call bs.. People argue with all professionals. You think Healthcare is bad...try construction.

Healthcare is probably the only profession where people think it's okay to argue what the professionals on what they know. Nobody argues quantum physics with physicists, or law with lawyers. But everyone is an expert in healthcare.

@Peaks1521 @cspotweet Language laws and high taxes made them move

@cspotweet He’s telling the truth. Learn about Quebecs economy after their separation crap. Head offices moved out, jobs were lost. Large exodus of people to Ontario and western Canada. My family included.

Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner calls on PM Mark Carney to show more humility, saying he delivered the wrong tone in comments on AB separation this morning. Says he needs to start delivering hope and not fear.

@guyfelicella I would rather have tiny homes that the drug addicts paid for so that they don't destroy them. Get some skin in the game or it will be a disaster.

Would you rather have encampments in your community or tiny homes with support services that help people stabilize and rebuild their lives? Tiny homes are a far better solution while people wait for supportive housing or addiction treatment.

@OrevaZSN You.. do it. Tell us how it is done. Government spends billions doing this. Show us how to do it better.

We have the technology and international trade to actually feed, clothe, house every person on the planet. But we don’t. Not from scarcity, but because someone might be undeserving and might get something for free, all while a handful of billionaires compete for more yachts.

@OrevaZSN Crime has nothing to do with poverty.

You reduce crime by eliminating poverty. The reason so called nice neighborhoods have lower crime rates is because people’s basic needs are being met. It is not because of police, alarm systems, or neighborhood associations. Poverty creates crime.

@CTVVancouver Are they going to start smashing looms next. Tech marches on but the luddites never learn.

@CanadianModera1 Only in Canada does it take years to get a new trade agreement

Reality Check: A sovereign Alberta instantly loses access to USMCA (NAFTA) and Canada’s global trade deals.Re-negotiating international trade terms takes years.Major employers in Edmonton and Calgary would face immediate tariff walls and closure.

@Ayan604 @VancouverSun More incompetence from metro van... Why replace the supply line in the middle of summer?

"Metro Vancouver expects to move to Stage 3 water restrictions in June" via @VancouverSun vancouversun.com/news/metro-van…

@rodmickleburgh @MarkJCarney Replacing a 60 year old supply line is caused by climate change?

So glad we no longer have to worry about climate change....@MarkJCarney

@1ssve Library... Where the homeless go to masterbate?

Libraries are the real data centers, and they don't gobble up water and electricity.

@CityNewsVAN Government making people poorer is a far bigger health threat than climate change.

@burner694 @mario4thenorth They don't need to retrofit a home for security. You modify the security to fit the home. They do it all the time when the PM is traveling or vacationing. Ottawa has lots of facilities to welcome dignitaries. They are not 13 year old teens needing space for sleepovers.

@IanIandrever1 @mario4thenorth Maintaining Rideau Cottage is probably cheaper than retrofitting private residences for security, plus you still need somewhere to receive foreign dignitaries and whatnot

A third world country has a palace. Canada had a mould/asbestos infested house that we’re afraid to demolish. We spent nearly $5 million getting rid of it instead of tearing it down. It’s time to ignore sunk costs. 24 Sussex is an embarrassment. This should not be a political issue. And I would never attack the Liberals for tearing it down & building something we can be proud of. For under $20 million, I could build an award-winning, 25,000 sq ft palace with the most incredible finishes ever seen. The state of Sussex is a perfect representation of the state of Canada: Feelings over decisive action. Being politically correct over common sense. Wasteful spending to get nowhere, fast. To see us send billions overseas instead of building at home is exactly why we are, where we are.

@aleryxa_ If they are all women. .the one with the biggest boobs.

Acil servise aynı anda 3 yaralı geliyor. Sadece birine önce müdahale edebiliyorsunuz… Hangisini seçerdiniz?

@mileslunn Why don't we work like a functioning country and allow exports across boundaries without the political fanfare.

Agreed. I support making it a condition for pipeline that Smith must cancel referendum before allowed to go ahead.

@hailes_mike @KristinRaworth Do you want hugs "or" a punch to the head? Not complicated.

@KristinRaworth How do you answer yes or no to a question that has an “or” in it?

This referendum question is a complete word salad and is difficult to understand. What even is this? What are we even doing? This is idiotic,

@sarobertson_ How can you be all in on Canada when you don't want one province to export it's products?

David Eby: "I think that this is the moment when the country needs to pull together as a whole. There is no shortage of people who want to take it away from us. We have to fight for this country every day. And so that message the Prime Minister is, look, BC is all in on Canada."

@IndexDecoded @Seanfrank You don't need a grid for desalination. Just a small ccgt.

Desalination at meaningful scale needs roughly 3-4 kWh per cubic meter of water produced. Saudi Arabia and Israel have proven the model works with cheap energy. The constraint isn't the concept, it's that cheap abundant energy isn't evenly distributed, and the regions with the worst water stress often have the least grid infrastructure to run large desalination plants.

hot take: fighting about water use is stupid with more energy, you can turn salt water into fresh water. the world is mostly salt water. the answer to every problem is more, cheap, energy. solar panel the desert, a nuclear reactor in every town

@Arkasiraee @FrankBr05713205 This is caused by government regulation. The government "shitifies" everything with endless regulation. F'ing even the gas can is not free from "shitification" Thousands of things that worked great before are destroyed by government shitification.

What has changed is not just the thermostat it is the shift from mechanical control to software-managed thermal systems in the automobile. A traditional thermostat was a simple binary valve, open or close based on temperature. It worked, but it was reactive and blind to engine load or emissions conditions. The modern electronically controlled water valve is part of a closed-loop ECU thermal strategy, where engine temperature is actively managed across operating states - Faster warm-up for emissions control - Tighter combustion temperature control for efficiency and knock resistance - Coordination with turbo, EGR, and hybrid systems dynamic cooling based on real-time load instead of fixed thresholds The cost increase comes from this added system depth sensors, actuators, ECU integration, calibration, and safety redundancy not just the hardware itself. Performance are optimized dynamically at the cost of complexity and part price.

As a longtime automotive technician, I have noticed through the years that almost every time manufacturers come up with new and improved it ends up costing the car owner more money. Here is one example. A simple thermostat, which served us fine for years has now been replaced with a water control valve that is actuated by the car’s computer. So we went from a part that cost around $15 to one that now is $250 and up.

@guyfelicella @JeffBezos Jeff bezos donated 31 billion to charity. Mckenzie scott has no money without jeff.

@JeffBezos You've donated roughly $5 billion, while your ex wife MacKenzie Scott has donated over $26 billion. Let that sink in

Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.
