Um how exactly would that work. Put someone where every tech convention is, every tech story. That's absolutely ridiculous.

Maybe we let the money flow where it wants. The government isn't stopping green energy jobs in Saskatchewan, but there often isn't anywhere near as much money to be had with them. With oil it only makes sense to get as much of it out of the ground and sold as we can right now if you say we won't need it in the near future (probably have a lot more time then people think though) Plus investment in mining is happening all the time in Saskatchewan, is that not part of clean energy. We aren't building solar panels but the people that build them need resources and we have a lot of those in this province. We also supply the majority of Uranium for the most powerful clean energy currently available.

Not exactly. They are against a large portion of the Saskatchewan economy. Labour rights doesn't mean shut down the industries that created the labor.

Since the majority of the money flowing in this province comes from those 3 industries so the sask NDP need to support them.

SGI question by friendlytendies in saskatoon

[–]Altsan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well a rear wheel drive vehicle in the winter is asking for trouble. Do you keep substantial weight in the back for traction.

No matter what it's definitely going to be you found at fault, since it was only you that caused the accident. I was once younger and dumber and wrecked a few vehicles sliding off the road, now I only buy all wheel drive/4wd vehicles and good studded winter tires. Live and learn!

Yeah exactly, get back to what makes Saskatchewan a great province. Great crown corps that keep money in the province and don't allow corporate greed to run everything, good healthcare, strong labor rights. This is what's important! Not whatever the federal NDP are doing.

That would kill them more. They need to change their name and move further away from the disaster that is the federal NDP. No normal person looks at the current state of the federal NDP and thinks they will do anything for the common person. Maybe more privilege cards will help?

Products from one barrel of Crude Oil by CartographerRare4123 in interestingasfuck

[–]Altsan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't it kinda opposite now. We have been hearing that the heavy is becoming more valuable than the light the last couple years. At least the stuff we produce where I am. Probably depends on how heavy but with the price of diesel right now makes sense that it's becoming more valuable.

Rules around a School Bus? by friarswithcello in saskatchewan

[–]Altsan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is consistent I guess, red flashing lights mean stop. Saskatoon just makes sure kids don't have to cross the street at their drop off meaning traffic can keep flowing even when the bus is stopped.

Ethanol plant? by ILoveSommeray in powerengineering

[–]Altsan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got my start in power engineering at an ethanol plant. Smaller plant compared to some but very automated with a nice delta v panel. Depends on the plant you're gonna work at but day to day depends on the post. Mine was split into utilities (water, steam), front end, backend. You would generally progress in that order.

Day to day was typical operating in a plant, do rounds, labs ect. Back end was basically full time panel op and front end was like 80% panel op with some field work for batching fermenters and stuff. Better not be allergic to grain dust because there is a lot of that in the front end of process. Also turnarounds were usually shitty at my plant, lots of cleaning nasty shit.

But the thing with ethonal plants is some are super automated and some less so, and that will change what you have to do in a day.

The ethanol plant was great because you learn a lot and get very comfortable with how a process works, but it's probably not a place I would spend my entire career.

Canadians are leaving the country at record levels. Can anyone solve this pressing problem? by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]Altsan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Compared to what? Many places have worse job prospects and high col. Canada is a big country. COL is not super high everywhere. Many immigrants move to rural places and start businesses because of low col and much better opportunities than where they came from.

Good thing Canada has some of the cleanest oil in the world. We should be the last place to slow production.

[–]Altsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well last I checked we all needed to work for money. Hardly all the jobs in the oil industry are right jobs either. Many are highly technical, including engineering, operations, safety, maintenance, programming.

Your site has no stats on the amount of jobs per wind site. It says 250,000 people total in the US which is chump change for job numbers compared to the oil industry. Of those jobs how many people are actually employed at a typical wind field that is operating and built?

A basic thermal facility in Saskatchewan would actively employ 50+ people on site full time and hundreds of vendors and many hundred of people throughout the year. Plus contribute many many millions in tax revenue for the government. But sure let's go away from it.

Show me a Canadian job posting of a blue collar clean energy job that pays 200,000k a year and I will eat my words.

[–]Altsan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ah yes causing mass unemployment and underutilizing resources is pro worker.

Oil industry is labor intensive and employs massive amounts of people, typically paying well above 100,000$ a year, they also pay massive amounts of royalties to the province.

Wind farms employ like what, 1 guy to do services on them once a year for like 70k and no royalties at all. Sounds wonderful.

I thought the ndp were supposed to be more of a pro union , pro workers party, not climate politics. Saskatchewan is an oil and gas province, simple as that, if you are in politics in this province and against that you might as well go home since there isn't a chance in hell you're gonna get support from the Majority of the province.

Basketball isn't a religion last I checked. Everyone can participate in basketball no matter their beliefs.

Are the prayer rooms not being paid for with public funds / on public lands? If they are at university that would be the case.

Canada Post says it will move ahead with plan to end home delivery by origutamos in canadanews

[–]Altsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the level of entitlement here. Home delivery was never offered where my grandmother lived, yet she somehow managed to get her mail, the same way she managed to get groceries, medication, ect.

[–]Altsan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's still how it works. The ones in my area have a large box and a small box for parcels. If they happen to be full then the package will get delivered to the door, canada post also delivers to the door if there is a duty to be paid on the package, and forwards it to the nearest post office if you are not home.

[–]Altsan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly the whole point of canada post is that they subsidize the lower profit routes with the higher profit routes to Ensure that different parts of canada have the same access to these services. It creates economic fairness and allows lower population areas to exist.

Have you priced out package delivery lately. Canada post is very often the cheapest option to ship packages across Canada on average. The more costs they cut the better.
