So Doug Ford is doing standup now?

For a province dependant on agriculture in an age of climate change, it is definitely worth exploring the energy sector. It seems likely that AI’s energy demand will continue to rise for decades. If Sask can fill some of that demand, there will be a benefit to the economy.

On the “cons” side, the $7B investment comes from public money; i.e. taxpayers. And if the predictions of future demand do not pan out, the 1.7 million inhabitants of the province will be on the hook for the payments.

How do they break into supposedly cryptographically secure wallets?!

We have never made our own jets. We’re not gonna start now. Buying American is waaay more cost effective, and that’s what Canadians want.

As a MexiCanuck, I’m lovin it!

It’s like summer camp for the Gestapo. ☹️

A disturbing story about exploiting teen vulnerability. Sadly the “experts” offer no practical tips for teens to combat the scammers’ techniques.

The smugness on her face probably wasn’t because of this statement, but it’s very easy to imagine her thinking “Now you bad people are going to die for being bad, whilst us good people watch with stony hearts.” Ugh.

Release the Epstein files!

It’s funny how all this talk about water conservation never seems to include the water use of golf courses. Residential lawns can turn brown, but heaven forbid the greens turn brown.

Working’ all right! Work in’ for ye water and oxygen, belta-loada!

You’re effed, USA. You’ll be choking on fossil fuel fumes and dying before retirement age for decades after the kleptocracy falls.

“REGARDLESS of what they say their goals actually are”

Chump may have had a brain Drump years ago, but the cabal that put him there do indeed have goals. Things (economy, immigration, health) have to get much worse before Chump can say “This is SO bad I have to break laws and break heads to fix it.” Putting the squeeze on energy is just one thing.

Fake economic numbers coming soon to deny inflation, then blaming foreign policies for the economics depression.

They’ll both be dead before the ETD. Unless maybe, Life eXtension LLC?

THIS I agree with! Nations and patriotism have been out-moded by supra-national corporate conglomerates, banks, and cartels.

I thought my use of fake to characterize climate change might be misinterpreted, but I couldn’t see a way to succinctly indicate that I wasn’t really aiming for sarcasm, nor that I believe it’s real. I’m sorry that it wasn’t very clear that I was just saying those who support fossil fuel energy production often also believe that climate change is fake.

I really believe that fossil fuels are making the world a harder place for humans to inhabit and that we should refocus our energy acquisition systems onclean and renewable energy because the US recently rescinded or stopped all support of clean energy. I see an opportunity for Canada to provide energy to USA. I believe that without those additional energy sources, they will lack enough energy to power their economy to the place where they want to be i.e. in control of Crypto and AI. Having the exportable energy to meet those needs will give Canada important leverage to prevent international conflict over energy.

Even though, or perhaps because, I’m old enough to remember what things were like when I was a child and a young adult. When I compare the climate I experience now to how I remember it then, it is clear to me that climate is definitely changing and warming. So I’m not completely bug-fuck crazy. I think.

That’s right. In USA and Canada it’s AMATEUR radio. Commercial activity is prohibited. Various protocols are allowed for information transmission, but must be basically open source so anyone can play.

“/s?”

Not at all! The US has killed government support for non-fossil-fuel energy sources. At the same time they have ramped up support for energy-hungry crypto centers and ai processor farms. So they are going to need energy. Oil simply cannot supply it all. Enter Canada; after promoting investment in solar and wind generation, mega watts of electricity are available for export!

As the USA disadvantages renewable energy investment, and China reaches a technological tipping point with solar, Canada can become a leading supplier of "premium power" to voracious ai farms, and provide profitable heating and cooling energy to cities subject to (fake) climate changes. Its an opportunity!
