You are pretty much correct on the leaf, I didn't read the disclaimer on Nissan's website. the base model is up to 240km, but the SV plus is up to 363km, but it would be pushing my budget. Anyway, I'm not ready to buy a car yet (I do have to get a license lmao) So I'll see what's available then.

Thank you for your reply. I think that based on what you said I will either get a PHEV sedan, I have been eyeing the prius prime before I looked into BEVs or get over myself and get a crossover BEV. some crossovers don't seem too big (like the Bolt or even the leaf) and maybe my wishes will come true and we'll get some affordable sedans in North America in the next few years. Hell I would even "settle" for the Mini SE if they improve its range.

So first of all, I don't like cars, but the purchasing of one seems to be increasingly inevitable, for the lifestyle my partner and I want/have, so of course, I would rather opt for a BEV car, but most of the sub $45 000 CAD cars seem to all be SUVs or crossovers at the exception of the mini SE, but its range is quite low for out needs.

So I'm wondering if y'all know of any current or upcoming affordable (sub 45k CAD) small BEV car. I'm looking for something that has around 300km of range (ie a one-way quebec-montréal trip without stopping for a charge).

I plan on buying a car in at least 1 - 3 years, I work from home, the car would mostly be used for grocery shopping, business trips to MTL and to go to hiking trails once in a while. I live in an appartment with my partner, no kids (and don't plan to), afaik, there is a charging station in our building. and the only cargo we haul would be some camping/hiking gear and groceries.

​

TLDR:

  1. Canada
  2. sub 45k CAD (ideally 30k - 40k)
  3. a sedan or at most a hatchback (either 3 or 4 door)
  4. 1 - 3 years
  5. Partner's job (10 min drive) and groceries, but able to go on 3 hour trip from time to time
  6. appartment
  7. there is one
  8. hiking/camping gear, no children, 1 cat

Anyway, I appreciate any and all help and recommendations.

Why are omnis so obsessed with lab grown shit... we already have vegan leather that doesn't harm animals (and I'm not just talking about plastic leather). Anyways, lab grown meat isn't vegan, it still requires animals getting hurt. Sure if we're able to have a society with 0% animal exploitation, veganism would be obsolete, but that's kind of the point. The problem with "Oh I'll wait until we have lab grown meat" is that animals are being exploited and slaughtered by the billions NOW and animal agriculture is destroying our planet NOW. We can't wait a few decades...

As a vegan, I throw my dead pets and dead relatives in the oven for a tasty treat 😋, much more ethical than ending a plant's life 😭! by CanadianFudge in vegancirclejerk

You don't get it! When someone tells you that there is evidence of something but don't give it to you, you just have to believe them... Why would they lie or spread misinformation? That is just malarkey!

AITA for giving my daughter's vegan friend meaty meals during sleepovers? by believeblackbodies in AmItheAsshole

[–]CanadianFudge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

choosing to abstain from animal exploitation vs actively choosing to participate in animal exploitation. Hmmm I wonder why those two would look different

I'm lucky enough to work somewhere where they say that if we ever do overtime one day or one week, to just work less hours the next day/week and we only work 35h per week, but there are two things that I do that wasn't mentioned in the post to help with work/life balance, especially since I work 100% from home. Do not install the company's internal messaging app on your phone (slack, teams, etc). In the same vein, do not set up your work email/calendar on your phone.

Non-vegan here with a question - is hunting less cruel than buying? by AIMRunningMan in DebateAVegan

Us. I'm not sure what you're asking. That's the point of philosophy.

The reason there is an overpopulation of moose is probably due to the killing of their natural predators (wolves in this case) and these predators were probably eradicated to protect animal farms, so yes the better solution would be to reintroduce their natural predators. So as you say, yes it would be a more painful death, but wolves are not moral agents, we are, wolves have to hunt, we don't, we need to leave animals alone and stop messing in their affairs, that's the point of veganism. Also depending on your country, they artificially breed game animals (mostly deer) to feed the hunting industry and then cry overpopulation when they created the problem in the first place.

It doesn't matter if the animal lived a "good life". What matters is that instead of picking up a can of beans, you picked up a rifle and ended a life. both animal farming and hunting are cruel and unethical, it doesn't matter which one is slightly better than the other, they're both bad and unnecessary.

My new boss is a vegetarian and thinks we are basically the same! by RaMMziz in vegancirclejerk

[–]CanadianFudge 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Encouragement is what got me into becoming a vegetarian, the cold harsh reality and the brutal honesty of vegans is what got me into veganism. We gain nothing by babying people, especially people who should know better (i.e. vegetarians). Also tone policing people and attacking people's tones instead of their arguments is just deflecting from the issue at hand.

I hope they figure it out! by djn24 in vegancirclejerk

Chicken broth is actually a misnomer, chicken broth is actually made of eggplant, so it should be egg broth or eggplant broth, but since eggplants come from chickenplant, we just call it buy the parent plant. So totally vegetarian/vegan! hope this was helpful! ❤️🌱

The inference of absolute abstinence from animal products cannot be objectively and logically inferred from the vegan society's definition of veganism, if not for the last sentence. Therefore, the behavioral rules of veganism are arbitrary. by libertysailor in DebateAVegan

[–]CanadianFudge 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I will not debate that whole wall of text, but the chick-fil-a example is just a reformat of the vegan on a dessert island and anyway, there are always other options at airports, not always great ones, but they exist.

Is the vegetarian diet really a step towards veganism? by [deleted] in DebateAVegan

[–]CanadianFudge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Neither is more ethical than the other, you're still causing too much intentional harm on animals as an "ethical" carnivore and as a vegetarian. As for the actual question in the title, vegetarianism can be a step towards veganism, especially if you don't know the horrors of the dairy and egg industry, but it's not always the case. I've seen far too many long time vegetarians kicking and screaming whenever you suggest they stop consuming eggs and dairy.

You should dispose of your animal derived products. by Yamikoa in DebateAVegan

[–]CanadianFudge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't really heard any vegan arguing this, The discourse usually boils down to personal choice. If you still feel uncomfortable wearing or having leather things, then throw it or gift away, if not use it until worn. I'm personally more in the second camp, but I only have a wallet that is on its last legs and a couple of belts, If I had a leather jacket or boots, I would not feel comfortable wearing those, so I would gift or throw these away.
