@TimHoustonNS I'm skeptical. Show me the business case.

@oelma__ This is a vintage Elma brand meat grinder, likely a No. 5 model, designed to clamp onto a table for manual grinding.

@JaimeFraser @trainofangels00 It's expensive and not main stream. If you have one then fantastic. Commercial buildings and government still use natural gas. To change the situation you need to fix the economics.

@JaimeFraser @trainofangels00 Air sourced heat pumps work, but you still need fossil fuels at that temperature. Hybrid nat gas systems switch at -12°C.

@sideen_dan @rshereme Good eye. On the right you can make out South America.

@nat_fitz1 @CTVToronto And if Trump simply issues an Executive Order, who is going to stop the withdrawal?

@nationalpost Sadly, neither the Conservatives or the Liberals have made an economic case to support their positions. The arguments are 'build it, they will come', followed by 'no they won't'. That is no way to run a railroad, let alone a country.

@janrosenow @Fred_Langlois_ Coal is still king in China although peak coal is on the horizon.

@Alex_S_Cullen @CanadianPolling @tylermeredith Okay, let's encourage demand destruction for natural gas so Asia can restart even more coal power plants.

@acoyne Sophistry wins votes. Just ask Justin or Pollievere.

@Sflecce @OskaArcher Good, now what's happening to the new builds at Bruce. Is it Candu or Westinghouse?

@TomPark1n @queerthoughts Even a blind squirrel sometimes digs up an acorn.

@pmcdunnough @Sflecce @tim_dunkerton It does produce 24hr by 365day electricity with low GHG emissions.

@JimboStanford Maybe France could first ratify CETA that was negotiated in 2016.

@CER_REC Seems to totally discount Ontario's near term plan to add 6000MW of new nuclear. Very strange since construction has already started at Darlington.

@WheatLife @simonmaechling That's probably spinach. Using lasers to eradicate weeds probably makes sense. On a section on of corn or soybean, not so much.

@JuddStrays @WhiteHouse I love the USA. Such gracious winners.

@kami4374 @DemosKratosCA They do not have FAA unconditional approval.

[John Hansen @JohnHansenCa]

@GI__JD @DemosKratosCA FAA has only given conditional approval.
