Every election.

Don't even argue with this asshole. His entire history is nothing but arguing all the time and taking a contrary position.

You think that's me arguing against EV's? Jesus dude, grow a brain.

I simply said EV's are more polluting from the factory and driving more to break even isn't a solution.

I know English is your second language but are you really going to argue with someone who's first language is English?

Nothing I said was a lie and I'm not arguing against EV's, even if a keyboard warrior like you says so.

Try again smooth brain.

Was I arguing against EV's? Really?

Good idea but I'm too jaded to believe the rich will do anything that further distances themselves from the rest of us.

Parking in Calgary during the last boom was $850/mo. FOR PARKING. Some people can't afford that for RENT but here we got lots of rich assholes driving expensive cars paying nearly a grand on parking vs. buying a $112 bus pass.

I take public transit and I prefer it to driving. Too bad the system is so bad that doing anything other than doing downtown is a nightmare.

Keep assuming from nothing. Clearly you think it's working for you.

I agree. Trains and light rail transit in general are the way to go but there's a major issue. Rich people never use them and they have the power to influence government so they don't spend 'their' tax dollars on it. Elon did it with the Hyperloop and it's why every public transit system I've seen in Canada or hear about, sucks donkey balls. Poor people can't afford to do anything but transit so there's no need to pander to them. .plus they have no influence.

In Alberta Canada, a study was done years ago to build a highspeed rail between Calgary and Edmonton for only $1.2B and instead the government give away $400 rebate checks to everyone, including inmates and people outside of Alberta which cost us $1.4B.

The current LRT (light rail transit) in Calgary is being 'upgraded' but the costs are getting crazy and they're already saying they don't have enough to do the rest of the plan (including a train to the airport which is like.. phase 3 or some bullshit) and yet we're all on the hook for this shitty system.

From that article;

Now, he estimates the break-even point could be between 67,000 km and 151,000 km. Ernst told Reuters he did not plan to change those findings, which were based on a different set of data and assumptions than in Argonne's model.

I have a 2017 car with ~30,000KM on it and I bought it brand new with 10KM on it. It would take me 12-30 years to break even given my driving habits alone and the numbers above. The EV version of my car was ~30% more expensive so it was literally going to cost me a lot more to pollute less while driving more but polluting more at the factory level.

20,000KM was for Norway which literally no other country can achieve because very few countries have so much geothermal energy. In Canada, a lot of our power of Natural Gas, Nuclear or Coal and a decent amount of wind/solar but in my province, zero Nuclear as it's all Gas/Coal/Wind/Solar.

There you go.. you made an assumption from ignorance which makes your message suspect at best. What else are you willing to assume? How Danielle Smith of you.

What’s funny is that while you’re arguing about me making a mistake about her title you’re ignoring the fact that I pointed out, Smith got more than 50% of the popular vote in a very recent election and she’s much closer to the current Republicans than from the historic progressive conservatives of both Canada’s and Alberta’s past.

You think that's funny? What exactly is funny about that? Or do you mean something other than 'funny' because you know, 'ESL is my excuse 'du jour'?'

I'm looking forward to your next excuse for your poor behaviour.

They aren't even close to perfect because an EV puts out 2x more CO2 during the manufacturing process and it takes A LOT of driving to make up the difference. Still better than nothing but EV's will not work for me as I barely drive and 'driving more' isn't a solution, it's more of a problem.

So you're blaming the French title instead of admitting not knowing her actual title?

Yeah, I'll ignore everything you ever say going forward as you clearly do not care about being accurate.

PRIME MINISTER OF ALBERTA?? lol...

Clearly a Danielle Smith supporter because you don't know anything and wouldn't dare let your lack of knowledge stop you from talking out your ass.

I'm shocked at how stupid your comment is.

It's better than nothing. Or are we shitting on anything that isn't a 100% perfect solution?

and her 'law and order' supporters will literally donate cash so she'll financially benefit from her illegal bullshit.

17 hours later.. no response. Shocked I tell ya.

If the Liberals lose the next election, it won't be because of Pierre, it'll be despite Pierre. Like his idol Trump, Bitcoin Millhouse could shoot someone in the face on Sussex road and Conservatives would still vote for him. Liberal voters keep their party in check and will only vote when they do enough good things.

IIRC, he was impeached for lying about it, not actually doing it which IMHO, is less of an issue than cheating on your wife.

Polling when there's no election is meaningless.

Jail for doing what exactly? ROFL

Medicare, Military, Social Security, Minimum wages and bailouts for banks and billionaires. All forms of wealth distribution but god forbid your country actually implement national healthcare in a way that truly benefits everyone.
