As always, the devil is in the details. Announcements like this are the very best time to push government on securing proper returns on investment, and standards.
Even though the energy itself may be green, energy sector companies are as dirty as they come, and have close to zero ethics in practice

This is such an absurd take
“ these are bad because they hold their resale value”
You would rather eat a huge depreciation?
I wish i could sell the xbox games I no longer play for more than pennies on the dollar.
And top tier new games on other systems cost just about as much.

The party of self-determination and individual responsibility has now transformed into a full blown blame game and even embraced the cognitive dissonance of turning a stout electoral rebuke into a victory and "a movement".
In a real movement, the leader of that movement doesn't lose their own seat.

In my riding, Halifax, the conservatives will not win : if we elect the liberal we get a rookie backbencher, if we elect NDP we get an effective opposition member ( and also maybe a good partner in a minority situation).
Millions of Canadians will still vote NDP, and they deserve representation.

This is true.
My worry is that a poor understanding of the electoral system could lead to a rout. This may be a scenario where the NDP loses official party status and that would have a bad effect on our electoral landscape.

If people only vote for/elect red or blue, opposition in parliament will be nothing but partisan attacks, and committee work will only be obstructionist.
This does not lead to good government.
Don’t give in to reductionism.
Look at the devolution of the US govt.
Canada is better than that.

This would be a great pop up bistro : reserve a bathtub, with or without bubbles, and then BYOKFC.

I’m at 32 hours sleep over 14 days.

getting better thanks to an awesome accupuncture therapist, and some good friends.

Last 4 days I’m averaging 5 hours per night. Which is almost my baseline of 6.5/ night. Should be out of the woods in a couple days.

I’ve enjoyed this exchange a lot though!

IMHO it matters ,because Russia is very weak at the moment , and also fragile economically.
They are reticent to prolong their war of aggression, & the last thing they want is a new ,reinvigorated, & unified Europe standing with Ukraine, perhaps without direct political support from the USA,

I was too wired to finish the math just then.

replace the variables in the velocity equation with: days of insomnia for t time , and hours of sleep less than normal replaces d displacement.
“speed of insomnia”.

But maybe it should be
Speed of the Sound of Loneliness
Cuz’ Then it’s a Prine number.

You are right.

And I hesitate to use the word “ but” here , but can I tell you a story? It’s Short , and a bit generous I hope.

Hint: it is pretty damn messed!

I’ve just , and pun intended here, dreamed up a sleep deficiency “speed “ formula.
To measure just how messed my sleep is at the moment.

What is your insomnia cause? Do you know?
