UdM main campus is on the north slope of the mountain.

Are you thinking of UQAM maybe?

Natural gas is just methane (97%)

Burning methane is better than coal.

Unburnt methane in the atmosphere is about 85 times worse than CO2.

Methane extraction and pipelines already leak a shitton of methane. Liquifying methane releases more methane while cooling it to -160°C. Shipping methane releases more methane. Warming the methane back up to gaseous state releases more methane. Then you've got to pipe the methane again, which, you guessed it, releases more methane.

Beyond all that, the USA is the OPEC of methane, and we can never be anywhere close to a minor player; beholden to the activities of other exporters.

That puts all your eggs in one basket. A lot easier to buy two candidates/parties than to run for one.

Why would the wealthiest want to run, when they can just buy the mostly wealthy?

Median rather than average.

Or double the average of the lowest 25% of earners.

While it's both (and more), I'd say it's more eastern than southern.

Some sort of standardization test?

I don't know about the medical field, but we already have that for other professions just between provinces.

Yellavision. It's like television, but when your parents yell at you to change the channel.

Straight up typo.

There was a Canadian TV show called Corner Gas.

In one of the episodes, the towns police force (two cops) has a real or precived grievance, and decided to work to rule on protest.

By the third act they've discovered that work to rule is more work than they've been doing, the grievance is dropped, and nothing has changed for the next episode.

I think the real shame is that there are no tarrifs for importing entire children's toys.

And good old screen sniping tools

Premiers call on Trudeau to cancel spring carbon tax increase

Not the ones with their own carbon pricing system...

I felt they only made a Tolkein effort.

I can see it could feel that way in some areas. I'm a Canadian, so we didn't even start to address the digital divide until 2019.

I thought high speed was ubiquitous in the late 00's, then I moved to a province when it was very limited.

1/3 of the world still has no fixed internet access, let alone broadband access

You can use dial up with any of those explorers....

until an alternative to the materials used in tires is found.

Car tires ARE made of the alternative materials.

Pneumatic tires were originally all natural rubber until synthetics were added due to war shortages.

Just a small aside, your points are all spot on.

What's wrong with epic?

Sent from my pile of free epic games.

It's just a reverse change of distribution. The bottles go back to a central location (some regions that's a bottle depot, other the point of sale then bottle depot). The bottle depot sorts and returns.

Yup, that's why we all need to continue advocating for transit and safe streets.
