No need for pronouns: Nikola is a boys name. Financial literacy advocate. What you see is what you get. Don't be afraid to cry!

Take a bit of our freedom, one step at a time. Want to give your contractor $15k in cash as part of a basement reno - not allowed according to this bill.

[Peter McCaffrey @peteremcc]

Hidden inside a border security bill, Canada’s central-banker Prime Minister is going to further centralize banking:

“The bill would outlaw cash transactions greater than $10,000.”

@danielfoch @tobi @pcrowe Fair. I just wonder if you'd feel the same way if the power plant was next door to you. FWIW I lived near the Chrysler plant in Brampton for years. It didn't bother me, but I can understand how some people felt the need to "complain".

[nikolanotnick @nikolanotnick]

@danielfoch @tobi @pcrowe Right now many folks living in small town Olds AB look at an empty field across their street. Developers want to plop a 1GW power plant in that field. Any sympathy for them?

@AlbertaLeonidas I hope her greed gets us there: "My gawd I can be leader of a G20 country". Maybe this is just cope on my part though.

@danielfoch Straw that broke the camels back? Better late than never? Insert idiom here.

@RichardDias_CFA @kim_gaetz The continued use of "net debt" is mind boggling.

[nikolanotnick @nikolanotnick]

@coreyhoganyyc The spending from the federal government is out of control.

[nikolanotnick @nikolanotnick]

@BenRabidoux 10000000%. They're already falling off in Alberta.

[nikolanotnick @nikolanotnick]

@coreyhoganyyc Even if we suspend disbelief and agree to your thesis of "gov't spending doesn't drive inflation", that doesn't mean that lots of gov't spending is good, does it?

@Martyupnorth_2 If 70%+ (we can quibble about the number) of people in AB want to separate, then AB will separate. No words will matter at that point. If you don't believe me, travel back in time 30 years and see what happened in Yugoslavia.

[nikolanotnick @nikolanotnick]

@SteveSaretsky Market looks closer to 90% on the old BB terminal.

[nikolanotnick @nikolanotnick]

@Martyupnorth_2 I reckon you should open a bar.

@TheUCPsucks @Martyupnorth_2 @calgarydave @ABDanielleSmith Easy solution: disconnect from ATCOs gas distribution system. Use behind the fence electricity to heat your home and cook your food. Solar + battery works pretty well.

[nikolanotnick @nikolanotnick]

@calgarydave @DanRobots @ABDanielleSmith Go lookup ATCO rate filings w/the AUC, it'll explain it there. You have options though: you don't like it, disconnect from the distribution network. Fun fact: if not for the AUC ATCO would likely charge 5x that fee as they have a monopoly.

@PHfloor Did the early 2000s have 95% LTV at CMB+60bps available as financing?

[nikolanotnick @nikolanotnick]

@coreyhoganyyc Allowing citizens to vote can never be a waste of money.

[nikolanotnick @nikolanotnick]

@chamath LCOE is a poor metric. Without incentives like ITCs solar doesn't pencil. Then you need to find a 25 year PPA. It's not all unicorn and rainbows.

[nikolanotnick @nikolanotnick]

@AlbertaLeonidas @Martyupnorth_2 In Canada, socialists represent 2 out of 3 Canadians.

[nikolanotnick @nikolanotnick]

@Martyupnorth_2 Not a representative sample. I would say socialists in Canada outnumber the rest of us by a 2:1 margin. This is just the way the country is now.

[nikolanotnick @nikolanotnick]

Things like this make me think the death penalty should exist in Canada.

April 18, 2022, Highway 401 at Belleville, Indiatario, Mehakdeep Singh crashed into a SUV killing two children, Émerik (7) and Maélie (3), and their grandmother, Chantal Dendooven-Legault (68).

He got 5 years in prison. He’s probably out now.
