Dad, engineer, fiscal conservative. Busy in the field of energy use, efficiency, energy production & all related financial matters. Opinions are my own.
Call me crazy, but if billionaire developers in BC sold their condos below market value, it would open the door for everyday Canadians who are priced out of the market to buy a home.
Doesn’t it make more sense to turn more Canadians into homeowners rather than adding to our national debt and making billionaires even wealthier?

@CharlesMullins2 Hey dumb ass...what do you think the energy consumption of getting 1500F plasma torch is?
Show me the mass energy balance at scale then we can talk.
TESLA QUIETLY REVEALED A MASSIVE AI INFRASTRUCTURE PLAY.
Tesla filed a trademark application for "MEGAPOD", signaling plans to turn its Supercharger network into a massive distributed AI computing platform.
The USPTO filing describes MEGAPOD as - "Modular data center hardware systems for artificial intelligence computing, comprised of computer servers, computer hardware for artificial intelligence."
The wording suggests Tesla is developing self-contained, scalable AI server modules that can be deployed across thousands of locations rather than building only centralized data centers.
This will act like a modular unit combining AI compute hardware with Tesla energy systems (Megapack, Powerwall, Superchargers) to act as a single node for power management and AI workloads.
The filing follows Musk's March comments about turning Tesla's 7 GW Supercharger network into one of the world's largest distributed AI compute platforms.
If realized, Tesla's 'MEGAPOD' Could Turn Superchargers Into AI Data Centers.
Governor General Louise Arbour tells MPs she will rein in clothing allowance.
That’s a first step, but we need to cut the Governor General’s lavish pay and perks.
Cut the salary: Governor General’s salary is now $393,800.
End the clothing allowance: A Governor General shouldn’t bill taxpayers for their own clothes.
End the lifetime expense account: A former Governor General can bill taxpayers up to $200,000 every year for the rest of their life and up to six months after their death.
No more pension: A retired Governor General takes an annual taxpayer-funded pension of $150,000 per year.
@WallStreetApes Why do they need to release it? They could just send it to water retention ponds, let it cool, recycle, treat and reuse it. Even better, use high temp cooling chillers that dont even use water! The cost would be higher of course but they want it on the cheap. I say no way!
Breaking 🚨
Liberals are shutting down debate, to ram Bill C-22 through House by Friday!
This is despite C-22 violating our Charter Rights against Arbitrary Seizure!
Please see my short exchange with Attorney General @SeanFraserMP. ⬇️
Mark Carney is establishing an "INTERNET SUPER-REGULATOR" to control the digital space
The Liberals' proposed ban on social media for children is grabbing all the headlines.
But according to technology law expert @mgeist, the most important part of Bill C-34 isn't the ban itself.
It's the EXTREMELY POWERFUL new government agency the bill would create.
The Digital Safety Commission of Canada would have ENORMOUS authority over how Canadians access and use the internet.
For example, the Commission would decide what Canadians must do to verify their age before using social media.
Would that mean uploading government ID? Facial scans? Third-party verification services?
None of this is defined in Bill C-34. It will be ENTIRELY up to the commission.
It would also determine whether online platforms are doing enough to address yet-to-be-defined "harmful content" and, in some cases, could order content removed.
According to Geist, the Commission would also have the power to compel testimony, demand documents, conduct investigations, and impose penalties worth millions of dollars.
Perhaps most concerning, the Commission would not be bound by traditional rules of evidence and could hold hearings behind closed doors.
And in its early stages, a single cabinet-appointed Chair could exercise all of the Commission's powers.
Supporters say these powers are necessary to protect children online.
Critics argue they give an unelected regulator unprecedented authority over how Canadians use the internet.
Whatever your view on social media restrictions for children, one thing is clear:
Bill C-34 is about much more than a kids' social media ban.
It's about creating one of the most powerful internet regulators in Canadian history.
Are Canadians paying enough attention?
