At current NS Power rates, on paper it costs $0.06 to charge my ebike from empty (I probably use ~20% of a charge on a heavy commuting day, so let's say $0.01 per day)

Or, 1-2 Timmies runs per year in transportation costs, if you're measuring in Canadian.

I think at this point you probs want to take him seriously and literally.

*above* the White House. Interesting. Uncommon.

Canada is woefully unprepared for a 25 percent across the board Trump tariff that is coming, if not today, then soon.

We need to prepare, and fast.

Here’s how:

You’d think people don’t want to live in pods. But when you suggest policies which would provide meaningful alternatives to the pods, they become very agitated. Even angry.

Other than the obvious—eliminating interprovincial trade barriers, killing dairy supply management, allowing for foreign competition in telecom and domestic air travel, etc.—I would spend Ken's $100 billion on 1) updating the National Building Code to reduce vertical circulation requirements, 2) updating the CMHC MLI Select program to eliminate the affordability (below-market rate) criteria, 3) introducing a 1031-like exchange, and 4) paying Provinces to harmonize with the new NBC and to upzone their municipalities.

Improving housing policy would reduce the cost of living and create many new jobs for tariff-affected (mostly male) workers.

@stphnmaher We should have diversified our economy away from the US a decade ago.

But the 2nd best time is now.

@AlanMCole @RiverTamYDN And at least for my job, I'm both the only person here who can 1) code and 2) would know what instructions to give a LLM even if I couldn't.

So this sounds like more of a productivity enhancer on my end.

[Kevin Wilson @WilsonKM2]

@evolutionarypsy That's the kind of use-case I have in mind, tbh.

[Kevin Wilson @WilsonKM2]

@evolutionarypsy And that probably make sense if you're somewhat younger and can plausibly turn the harassment to your advantage in some way.

But if you're north of 60, it mostly takes the form of "maybe I'll torture you until you die, who knows?"

[Kevin Wilson @WilsonKM2]

@evolutionarypsy tbf, I think this has less to do with actual convictions than the prospect of using the federal courts to essentially harass people for years on end for public consumption.

how is there a near limitless supply of money from people who can get duped into buying crypto shitcoins

@constans There are other things, but yes.

@constans If this was true Doug Ford would also be underwater. I don't think voters are really there yet on housing

[constans @constans]

Trudeau let the problem of housing shortages drag on for so long without doing anything that it looks like his party will get wiped out in the next election. Parties will destroy themselves rather than allow more housing.
