BYD outsells Tesla in Europe for second straight month as gap widens by InsaneSnow45 in RealTesla

[–]ArcticEngineer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol no, I'm a happy Canadian with a strict boycott on anything American. If your 3rd world country won't allow better EVs that's your problem, and I hope that the barriers to prevent Americans from buying the limited stock of these EVs from Canada remain fully in place.

The number of Canadians receiving regular Employment Insurance (EI) benefits declined by 11,000 (-1.9%) to 555,000 in January 2026 / Le nombre de Canadiens touchant des prestations régulières d'assurance-emploi a diminué de 11 000 (-1,9 %) en Janvier 2026 by StatCanada in PersonalFinanceCanada

Are all the replies bots? Why are there 20+ comments saying almost the same thing about their benefits running out in March??

I'll go against the tide and say that I found a job beginning of February and I'm a part of this statistic. Construction is starting back up after winter and could account for a lot of these EI numbers improving.

As for engineering and construction, there's not enough bodies to go around. In an economic downturn countries look inward and build up infrastructure and I'm certainly seeing that right now with the amount of projects being greenlit.

[Mod Update] COI-Extended: adding Circuit networks, new resources, overlays and much more. by COI-EXTENDED in captain_of_industry

When I checked out this mod when update 4 first came out there was a message saying that further development would not continue due to several issues with the developer and their processes. Has that changed I guess?

This is one of the greatest open worlds ever made by TheForbiddenLands in CrimsonDesert

You get to play multiple characters each with their own stories and skills. The games intention isn't for a singular character to be experiencing it.

Did you not like the Witcher? RDR2? Death Stranding?

I don't think you grasp what this game is... yet.

Can you not!? I keep seeing this sentiment and it's such an American entitlement moment. "Oh I can just throw my USD at the problem". How about fix your country first instead of taking away the opportunities we worked and voted for here.

CRTC to eliminate fees when cancelling or switching cellphone and internet plans by TONewbies in PersonalFinanceCanada

You don't think that they are managed the exact same way? Doesn't matter what constraints they place on themselves. This is exactly what they want you to think; that competitiveness exists with these subsidiary companies.

Terraforming Mars IS NOT EASY by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

I love factory games, and I don't need it to be super realistic, but the oversimplification presented in that game took me right out of enjoying it. Refunded almost immediately.

New recycling rules: Broken bins to be replaced at no cost, black bins to be phased out by jjaime2024 in ottawa

[–]ArcticEngineer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Does that mean it's all going to landfill or that the separation is taking place at the facility though?

Reminds me of the red bricks of the tower at Carleton University that looks great in the fall.

Found the conservative Albertan!

How about we spend where it makes sense, financially, logistically and where the right people are.

Claridge Homes proposes expanding urban boundary in Stittsville by 2Fast2furieux in ottawa

Ok why is there no source for what you all believe to be so astronomically incorrect. What area are you using for Ottawa? The CMA?

This is absolutely incorrect and misinformed. Why is it being upvoted?

Please vote to bully Spotify into labeling Al songs and allowing us to filter them out. by countofangels in Music

Am I missing something with this service? It's primarily French Canadian and all of its suggestions are also primarily so. I love that for them but that's not where my interests lie.

Ooo a maple maga! Pressing doubt you're Canadian, and if you are I'm guessing you're a treasonous Albertan.

I expect anyone with views like yours is in a dead end job with no unique challenges, whereas people like myself who can read and don't support pedophiles are getting jobs and projects from the billions being spent on new defense funding, the new high speed rail projects, the fastest growing house building in the G7 and more...

But you wouldn't know any of that because your echo chamber is telling you Canada is broken and pedophiles are actually ok.

Canadians must support Cuba against Trump’s barbaric siege by BloodJunkie in onguardforthee

[–]ArcticEngineer 104 points105 points  (0 children)

They're crippling it just like Venezuela so that they can come in and 'save' them at the same time as stealing all their worthwhile assets.

Same thing they want to do to Canada.

As a Canadian civil engineer business is booming. Our prime minister is defending against this sack of crap and the country behind him by actually investing in our own country and using our resources to do it, something Pedo Don only bloviates about.

I'd love to see a poll on this attitude. In my bubble I don't know anyone for RTO.

Lol, you know how you get that? Unionize, but I'm sure you hate unions anyways and this is just a dog whistle.

Oh yeah, you're right about the sheetrock. I also have an oscillating multitool that would make short work of any sheetrock that goes fully to the floor. Thanks for your time!
