  • Unlike before people don't have to meet but can organize online. If everybody stays home, there is no threat from the police.

    The problem is that to do anything of consequence, those people need to leave their homes and take action. And they'd rather juat sit at home and continue "organizing" online...

  • The ONLY reason another country would even think of attacking Canada would be to just pass through and attack the US.

    Exactly.

    Which goes to show how laughable Trumps claims of Canada riding on the US's coattails for protection are.

    They're not protecting Canada from attack, they're using Canada as a buffer/shield between them and Russia.

    Same as they have since the DEW line was first proposed back in the '50s

  • they still struggle under -20C. Which is not abnormal for many places in Canada

    Yes, but that's why heat pumps in this country are typically paired with auxiliary electric heat. The heat pumps still contributes some amount, even at -30 or below, but the electric "tops up" the pre-warmed air that the heat pump makes.

    And that is only really needed for a couple of months out of the year, even in places like Winnipeg or Edmonton.

    20-30 years ago, the heat pump technology wasn't as capable, and couldn't do the job as well, but they have improves quite a lot since then.

  • But a couple of years ago people were saying this kind of outage only ever happens on Rogers.

    It's almost like these networks are getting to big and complex for the amount of well trained, well experienced staff have to maintain the system.

  • Back in January I did a bit of price comparing between Canadian Tire, Home Depot and Rona for the materials for a project I was planning. (I wanted to check Home Hardware as well, but the closest one is about 75KM away, so not really practical in my case)

    I was surprised to discover that Canadian Tire had better prices on all but 2 of the things I looked at. And even those 2, they were less than a dollar different.

  • Fix these things, and suddenly the US might become a genuine super power again.

    It's going to take a helluva lot longer than "suddenly" for the rest of the world to trust the USA again.

    You fuckwits knew what Trump was and you went and made the same stupid fucking mistake again 4 years later.

    Even if you kick Trump and the MAGAts out, how can we trust that you won't simply let them seize power again in a couple of years?

    It's going to take a generation of sane progressive leaders before anyone will start to forgive and forget.
