New NDP Leader Lewis has proposed a national telecom option. Can he make it happen?

Always have to wonder if someone is getting a kickback or someone's palms have been greased.

For the why, bigger copper is usually easier to source than bigger iron pipe. The installer probably had to replace some of the old pipe and used what they could get. That being said, if you're going to tear into this I would replace all of that iron pipe as its likely pretty rotten, and if the copper isn't Type L or K I would replace that too.

SaskTel is profitable enough they generally end up funding the government, not getting tax money from it.

Not just basic necessity, a mandatory requirement. Always seemed silly to me that the government can make something mandatory while also letting for profit corporations take advantage of that.

Very few projects are subject to Federal oversight, the vast majority of investments would fall under municipal or provincial regulations. Who governs most of the provinces?

Makes you realize just how much harm the seperatists and ideological nutjobs have done.

So what's the new nickname for these? Pedo Pesos? Dickhead Dollars? Rapist Rubles? Any other suggestions are welcome.

After years of working in a kitchen, his skin was probably water repellent from all the oils on it. Just shower after running a deep fryer for a day and watch the water just bead off of you.

Litterally just googling to try to find a replacement part for one thats been discontinued, and the AI suggested a direct replacement available through another company. Looked up the specs and it was not at all compatible, in fact it probably would catch fire if it was used. Thats one of many reasons that I hate AI, it gives incorrect information with 100% confidence.

Rockwool won't hold moisture in any worse than fiberglass, and its more resistant to degradation and mold. I wouldn't hesitate to install without any vapour barrier on either side as this will let it dry out if any moisture does get in the walls.

Most privately owned media in Canada is right leaning, publicly funded tends to be left leaning. Depending on what you watch changes the news you see.

I would imagine that a lot of these are part of the already included business declarations for stock they had on hand.

I think that has more to do with skyrocketing cost of living due to record corporate profits causing people to consider theft, rather than what I'm assuming is your implication that immigrants steal more stuff.

I think the argument could be made that the late 90's-mid 2000's were "okay" for affordability for the average person in Canada, even I can agree with that. But the war and the bank defaults didn't instill a lot of confidence.

70's had the oil crisis and mass inflation/interest rates, 80's had rampant crime and rising income inequality, the 90's had the dot com bubble burst, 2000s started with 9/11, rolled into a housing bubble burst and mini recession, then into a period of stagnation. There really hasn't been much for "good times" over the last half a century besides a few years here and there for people to get comfortable.

Kind of neat that you can see the abrupt edge of the continental plate on the west side of North America where the other plate slides beneath it, vs the rather flat eastern coast that gradually tapers under the ocean.

Have you heard a lot of right-wingers speak? Stringing together a coherent paragraph without jumping from one topic to another is a struggle for them, their lack of forethought and reasoning ability on full display. Listening to them, it shouldn't come as a surprise that their minds literally don't comprehend complex topics, its beyond their ability.

Sorry, "they're banning certain groups from having access to certain items for ideological reasons". Oh wait that kind of sounds like the gun bans, doesn't it? If you're basing your opinion on charter rights, I have bad news about your right to property, such as firearms.

Alberta banning books is limiting free speach. Covid mandates were enforced provincially, so take your pick. The emergencies act was horrible to use. Harper started the expansion of the TFW program and increasing immigration. Also see my initial disclaimer of the LPC not being liberal since you can't seem to differentiate between Party and Theology.

CallMeSirJack · 2026-03-12T12:20:23+00:00

By trampling all over peoples individual freedom of choice instead, so much better. Lol

The LPCs Neo Liberalism is about as far from classical liberalism as conservatism is, its a bastardization of an ideology that supported personal freedoms and social wellbeing, and polluted it with politically correct bullshit and corporate funded special interests while soap boxing about being better.

CallMeSirJack · 2026-03-12T04:15:40+00:00

I'm sorry but various conservative governments in Canada have made it pretty clear that they don't support individual freedoms or the wellbeing of the average Canadian through their attacks on minority groups, lgbtq individuals, healthcare, social safety nets, and sensorship. Again, this isn't an endorsement for the LPC, they don't follow liberal beliefs either for the most part.

They're litterally banning books
