I have no problem if he's trying to sell things on his channel. As a matter of fact, trying to sort through the best, economical of something these days have become a nightmare. Try searching online for the 'best' of anything and you're bombarded with so many choices. He's done the heavy lifting for you already.

"I'll say/do anything to get in/stay in power to have it my way because you're all too busy to find out what I did. And even if you did find out, what you going to do about it?" -your typical politician

Everyone is over thinking this. By having this ban in place, we ensure that people that live in the area have a stable priced supply of electricity. How would you feel when you woke up one day and the bill for your electricity was going to go up because some AI data centre was gobbling up all the supply that is available?

Some will argue..."but they're paying customers too and we can make a profit!". Perverse incentives. Electricity is an utility. Not a service. Get that in your heads. Why would we even want tech companies have any say in our utilities when they could possibly become the biggest customer to the power company? What? Are you thinking that those in government will "protect" you? We have all seen what lobbying can do.

While BC has a lot of renewables, but they are still not without a cost (hydro for example floods huge areas). If Alberta was smart (lol), this is where they could transition away from oil over time, alas, they have a plant.

All of you should go do some research on how much electricity these AI data centres are using. The amount is staggering. What's even crazier is the amount of capital these tech companies have and are willing to deploy to "have it their way" - both physically and politically.

'Transformation'. More like getting gutted like what you see typically from failing companies run by fools and those seeking an easy way out.

I think the angle people aren't looking at more is the financial side of things and actually calculating it out. [https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/cpc/en/our-company/financial-and-sustainability-reports/2024-annual-report/our-financial-picture.page](Canada Post's Financials - See the first chart yourselves)

So it seems like 2018 they invested a little and the loss reduced. COVID happened so the big loss there isn't surprising. However, in between the reduced service, someone ate their lunch or their upper management / c-suite / board no longer has the qualifications to lead it's own team. Change the management already.

The monetary part of how much this subscription to Canada Post is going to be..: 841 million/41 million (current Canadian population) ~= $20.51 cents (rough math of ~$52.56 dollars per household based on 16 million addresses in Canada Post's system) Canadian to have delivery/mailbox/post offices/parcel pickups. Now go compare the rates that Canada Post offers versus FedDex, DHL etc. Ask yourself, would you still use Canada Post?

So yeah, let's all be outraged about $52.56 dollars for this service.

Absolutely agree with this. Politicians and those that are in the management position to make real changes have been having it too good for too long and they just want to take the easy way out by saying "it's too hard/too expensive" and spending OUR taxpayer dollars. It's BULLSHIT.

Look around you and see what software these government managers entities actually use? Email/chat clients, MS Word, Excel. What? Why are we still on Microsoft's ecosystem if at all if that's what they use most of the time? The cloud infrastructure isn't even handled by 99% of these politicians and managers. Let the IT people handle it. Any serious IT team should know their in-and-outs of open source software and operating systems.

A lot of other legacy IT mainframes aren't even compatible with Windows and they've only created an UI to 'talk' to the underlying system. There's no reason why it cannot be recreated, if not improved, during the switch. Hell, don't even switch right way, run the systems in parallel. At the end of the day, the real underlying information are just stored in tables - absolutely no reason why it cannot be ported.

The only expense that would be on-going maintenance, improvements and updates as legislation changes over time. We need data sovereignty otherwise we're just cucks to US big tech.

Trying to stay relevant much? Humanity as a whole needs to realize that religion is a mental crutch. The community aspect of it is good, but it isn't exclusive to religion.

To 'spell it out' for those who still can't wrap their heads around it:

What Israel is trying to claim (which is a logical fallacy): Any attack/criticism on Israel = attacking Jewish people = attack on Jewish/Judaism religion

The reality: Any criticism Attack on Israel =/= attacking Jewish people =/= attack Jewish/Judaism religion

So what about those that practice Judaism in Gaza? What about those that practice Judaism that has no roots in Israel at all?

Layman's observation...to anyone who's been inside old growth forests (forests with trees that are 800+ years old) and it's surrounding lesser old growth forests, the humidity is on a different level than the ones that these so called 'reforested' areas are like. The forestry industry is not sustainable at the amount that we consume at. We will continue to see 'wildfires' because we've effectively destroyed the ecosystem in the last 100-200 years with mass deforestation and thought that replanting them would be 'fine'. Turns out these artificially replanted forests aren't so resilient after all...huh.

How about we talk about making it mandatory for young adults no matter their background and wealth to work in some form of retail or food industry?

The very question of asking them to be a public service to be prepared for war only means that the adults in the room have failed absolutely miserably that we have to go back to that point again in human history. What an absolute disgrace.

This is a stupid made up wedge issue. The real question should be - what is sports and what exactly are athletes competing for?

Why is it the default in sports male and female categories? Is it because they are physically different? Is it because one has a uterus? is it because of hormones so males and females develop differently? We have managed, through scientific breakthroughs, hormone replacement therapy to be able to transform our own bodies into what we want and that in itself is an achievement - albeit it isn't perfect yet - but that's another topic.

If the goal is to compete and display human physical prowess and strategy in a regulated environment then male/female/other/etc. categories shouldn't exist. It should only be rated as 'where do I stand as a human being among my peers in X sport?'

Trying to fit a gender into a flawed categorical system of sports is bound to cause friction.

Arc'teryx is Chinese owned and for quite some time already. There's probably only a few Canadian clothing brands that are worthwhile in Canada, but most of them don't manufacture in Canada either.

Either way, Lululemon comes to mind, but their founder Chip Wilson isn't a pleasant person in supporting certain political parties even though he technically has been booted by the board of the company (I'm sure he still has shares). Artizia, Psychobunny, Roots...just to name a few that could be considered. Of course, if you're looking for outdoor wear, I'd say look to the European brands and even then it's a minefield.
