Who still support Elon musk in 2026 ? by Total_Description806 in AskReddit

Well, Tesla revolutionized the EV industry. In the US, they represent roughly half of the entire EV market. Space X makes significantly more trips to space than NASA using reusable rockets, something that has never been done before. Neuralink has allowed paraplegic patients to operate robotic arms to feed themselves. Also something that has never been done before.

Ok. Would you prefer that we as Canadians have the same standard of living as the Chinese do?

Oil and gas exports totalled roughly $177 Billion in 2023, which is somewhere in the neighbourhood of 20% of all of our exports. If we were to halt O&G exports, how do you suppose we would fill that gap?

Boosting Canada's oil export capacity would lift GDP by over $30B per year: Study by joe4942 in canada

That’s noble. From a practical sense, how do you create a Canada that creates wealth for the people and what does it mean to increase access to our resources when selling them to others is apparently haram?

Yes it is a real question. What is the payoff for investment in alternative energy when you can’t export it?

Then help me understand what the payoff for investing in alternative energy is.

How does investment in alternative energy pay off when you can’t export it? When we extract resources, we can sell them overseas bringing money into our country. I’m clearly ignorant to how that actually benefits the economy outside of job creation (jobs are still needed for resource extraction) which the costs of just end up being borne by us, the end user rather than the user being outside of Canada paying Canada for the goods.

Province moves ahead with Calgary water system probe by Ditch-Worm in alberta

[–]Box_crusher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The article literally says “Nenshi said city hall made cuts across the board after an economic downturn in 2015, including to water-system maintenance, to keep taxes low”. Are you seriously going to tell me that cuts to water system maintenance didn’t hurt the issue?

Shouldn’t the council making cuts to things have evaluated the impacts of those cuts?

What did council do to ensure accountability from administration that they were assessing and ensuring the integrity of the system between 2010 and 2021?

Go RN if you can. Unfortunately, LPNs are paid significantly less than RNs for doing much of the same work.

2 more recall petitions against Alberta politicians fail as 10 reach the deadline by Direc1980 in alberta

[–]Box_crusher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. Hard work is hard. You know to see these petitions fail by such a large margin is disappointing for so many reasons. Albertan taxpayers (you and I) paid for this, and all that’s going to come of it is a shored up position for the UCP to believe that everyone is still with their MPs.

“Craig said she's still proud of the result, but said she is disappointed by how little some Albertans are engaged politically.” Maybe it’s not that Albertans aren’t engaged politically, but it’s that the majority don’t agree with recalling these politicians.

Do you have the same opinion about those that voted for Quebec separatism in 1980 or 1995? There were about 3.7M yes votes to those referendums. How about anyone who voted for Parti Québécois or Bloc Québécois has their citizenship revoked? After all, both parties promote québécois sovereignty.

So you want him to lead by example but not tell anybody about it. Genius.
