@JohnLeePettim13 I don't even pay $400 per month for my gas furnace in the dead of winter in Edmonton. Based on this analysis moving to a heat pump makes no sense at all.

Ok so I did some digging on heat pumps and what the costs would be to install, and run in northern Canada where winters see many -20 days. Here's the breakdown: 1600 sq ft. house with a full basement. First off you would need a dual fuel system, i.e. forced gas furnace plus heat pump. Costs for installation and pump: Usually needs a 4–5 ton variable-capacity cold-climate unit. Lower end (~$14k–$18k): Good existing ducts, no major electrical panel upgrade, straightforward install. Higher end ($20k–$25k+): Duct modifications needed, electrical service upgrade (common in older homes), or more complex basement/main-floor zoning. Typical range: $14,000 – $25,000 CAD (all-in, including labour, permits, and minor duct/electrical work). Cost to run: Effective all-in rate (with delivery, transmission, etc.): Usually 14–17 ¢/kWh during high winter usage. Running: $350–$650/month in peak winter months on electricity. Hybrid i.e. gas furnace plus heat pump keeps annual costs lowest. Payback vs. keeping/replacing just a gas furnace is usually 10–15+ years unless gas prices rise sharply or you get strong incentives. So lets look at this realistically: Cost for install 20K+ $400-650 a month in winter to run it + gas costs. Payback 10-15 years. These are real world costs/numbers not some bullshit propaganda the government or online idiots are spewing. Is it worth it in cold climate Canada or better to just keep and run your natural gas furnace ? You be the judge.

@Baldiva_ Why?

I think he shouldn't be playing.

@mathewjdp @BleedOilBlue Not sure 7 goals in 64 games is a top six forward.

@BleedOilBlue He should fit seamlessly in Edm. Edm is getting a possble top 6 forward for free.

Oilers looking at bringing in the Russian rookie to the NHL.

@10XHockey Isn't Bouchard 8-0 5v5?

Canada is down 5-4 to NORWAY with 9 minutes left. And I need to say this. This is a CANADA problem. And it has three names. Darnell Nurse. Evan Bouchard. Cam Talbot. Let's start with the defense. Nurse and Bouchard together on the ice is a DISASTER. It doesn't matter who you pair them with. Every time they're out there, Canada is defending with two pylons who have zero awareness of what's happening behind them. Bouchard in the offensive zone? Fine. The guy can move the puck. He can quarterback a power play. Nobody is arguing that. But the SECOND that puck gets cleared out of the zone? He has NO IDEA what he's doing. None. He's lost. He's spinning. He's watching the play happen around him like a spectator. And Nurse? Same story. Different chapter. Edmonton has been living with this defensive liability for YEARS. Every Oilers fan watching this game right now is having flashbacks. This is the same movie they've seen 82 games a season. Nurse getting walked. Bouchard getting caught flat footed. The whole world is watching it now. Now Talbot. Three goals from distance that are absolute MUFFINS. Shots that should NEVER be going in at this level. These are saves that a Liiga goalie makes in his sleep. A DEL goalie stops those blindfolded. But Talbot is letting them through like he's playing beer league on a Sunday morning. Meanwhile Norway is playing the 10X style. Carrying deep. Attacking inside the dots. Using the space behind the net. Back to front passes. D jumping into the play. THAT is how you play hockey. Canada has Crosby. They have Celebrini. They have the talent to win this game. But talent means NOTHING when your back end is a revolving door and your goalie can't stop a beach ball from 40 feet. Nine minutes. Figure it out. Let's go Canada. 🇨🇦 #IIHFWorlds #TeamCanada

@mathewjdp @KwnStorm It is funny you think Nurse is a top 4 dman.

@KwnStorm If you can find me a top 4 Dman in the last 2 years where the team paid the other team to acquire him, I'll listen.

Why am I seeing Nurse trades where EDM makes out with positive value. That's an albatross contract that you'd most definitely have to attach ++ to get rid of it.

@RiseOfAlberta This question will get thrown out because it is confusing as fuck.

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Danielle Smith has announced Alberta’s independence referendum question: “Should Alberta remain a province of Canada or should the Government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?”

@MarkJCarney When are you going to start fighting for Canadians?

Ukraine’s fight is our fight, their cause is our cause, and their independence will be our victory. To the Ukrainian communities in Canada and around the world celebrating their culture, identity, and traditions this Vyshyvanka Day: Canada stands with you.

@TraceyKent @TheRealKeean @curiousinvest17 Exact same thing happened on my flight from London this week. About 50 boarded before zone 1.

Paris airport, AC toronto bound flights have non-citizens brought on the plane before Business class. They are led on by airport staff without being cleared by check-in. They all are holding papers. Some have one elderly person w/wheelchair with up to five able bodied people with them. All these people in front of me were not cleared by the desk. I’ve now witnessed this twice.

At a European airport. Every gate heading to a Canadian city is packed with confused Indians in wheelchairs. Can someone explain what causes this?

@TheRealKeean I had 2 Air Canada flights this week. On both there was a large group of Indians who boarded before zone 1. I asked the ticket agent why. She said they all indicate special assistance when checking in. None of them seemed to have special needs and yet all got priority boarding.

@LivinTheFringe 30%

What % of Albertans want to separate? Give me your honest guess, please.

@junonewscom Pretty sure we have already mastered energy. You just don't like the energy we have mastered.

PM Mark Carney says Canada needs millions of households to switch to electric heat pumps, arguing it will lower energy costs and strengthen the country's "net zero" transition. He added: "When we master energy, we master our destiny."

@KirkLubimov This guy is a master at sucking and blowing at the same time.

Was the goal post just moved⁉️ Mark Carney: "Discussion on a potential pipeline to transport at least 1M barrels of low emissions Albertan crude to Asian market. The pipeline will only advance with following prerequisites being met: 1. Pathways carbon capture. 2. It requires British Columbians to share substantial financial and economic benefits. 3. Fully respecting duty to consult under Section 35; and that INCLUDES WHETHER TO DESIGNATE A PROJECT BEING IN THE NATIONAL INTEREST, that includes conditions placed on the project and includes ensuring indigenous economic benefits, partnerships, and opportunities for co-ownership." What?! We have to now consult with First Nations IF the pipeline project is in national interest?? WTF

@Reil76 Of course Canada is stronger with Alberta in it. But is Alberta stronger remaing in Canada? The whole reason there is a separation movement is because Canads keeps taking from Alberta and gives nothing back.

To all the Albertans who still believe in Canada, thank you. We know the loudest voices online don’t represent everyone in your province. Millions of Albertans are proud Canadians who want to build this country, not break it apart. Canada is stronger with Alberta in it. Your people, your culture, your energy, your innovation, your hard work all matter to this country. The separatists don’t speak for all of you, and a lot of Canadians across the country recognize that. From coast to coast, we’re still one country! 🇨🇦

Hey @AirCanada, I was on 2 flights yesterday and on both flights there was a large group of Indian folks who boarded before Zone 1. They didn't seem to have any special needs that I could see. Just wondering how they get the privilege to board first.

@AirCanada-I was on 2 Air Canada flights today and there was a whole group of Indian folks on both flights who boarded even before zone 1. It didn't look like any of them needs any type of special assistance. I am just curious what scam these folks are running to board first.

@Axaxia88 How did the camera angle change at the end?

This is one of the rarest and most unforgettable experiences of my life. At 5:30 a.m., while I was alone on a beach in Costa Rica, I came across a beached dolphin. It was surrounded by about six buzzards, waiting to attack its eyes, while the dolphin kept crying out in pain and desperation, as if calling for help. For anyone who wants to call me weak, I’d really like to see them try moving a 275-pound slippery animal that’s thrashing in panic just to survive. It was a chaotic and unbelievable moment, and one that changed me forever. What was strange was that the dolphin seemed to be “communicating” with me throughout the entire time. I don’t know how to explain it, but I could clearly sense its gratitude — as if it understood I was there and that I had saved it from the buzzards. A raw and intense memory I will never forget. 🐬🙏 📹danielbarousse

@cosmic_allium Pronouns in the bio. Enough said.

That if I have to hear one more “he was acquitted” I’m going to start ripping heads off. Fuck this rapist pos.

@Sports1440 @JasonGregor @PlayAlbertaCA And yet it is only a $5000 fine if you check someone from behind into the boards.

"If you want teams to adhere to your rules and they don't, make the punishment severe... I have no problem with it, none." @JasonGregor on #VegasBorn forfeiting a second round pick and John Tortorella being fined $100,000. Presented by @PlayAlbertaCA.

@Dave_Eby You are so tone deaf.

It cannot be the case that the projects that get prioritized in Canada are those where a Premier threatens to leave the country. Next week, I’ll be meeting with the Prime Minister to bring him a list of projects we can work on for the benefit of all Canadians.

@CoryBMorgan No - I will believe it when there are shovels in the ground.

Straw poll time. Has the Alberta/Ottawa agreement to maybe, possibly, hopefully approve a pipeline in a year and a half made you less inclined to vote for independence in a referendum? Yes or no.
