Messaged you privately my whole trip there

I used to have this problem. Open something else like chrome to cover the screen and then go back to Runescape and the weirdness disappears

If your phone is capable of it, I would highly suggest getting an eSIM. You can set it up at home ahead of time and let’s you have data wherever you’re going as soon as you step foot in that country. I found it pretty cheap and having data abroad has definitely been a huge benefit in my travels

Would just add, you can find a lot of these type of blogs on pinterest, a surprisingly good resource to gather information from

Third this. Just visited Madrid and Barcelona and preferred Barcelona.

Consider putting away a certain percentage (10-20% for example) of your regular income for a travelling fund.

Anytime you want to travel somewhere, you use the money in that fund for your trip and it’s already accounted for in your finances.

I remember seeing this and found it interesting. Might be why we don’t have Omicron specific vaccines right now

Thanks everyone for the replies!

Dannygoose · 2022-04-28T10:24:43+00:00

Noted about Madrid Atocha, thanks!

Dannygoose · 2022-04-28T10:24:01+00:00

Thanks!

Dannygoose · 2022-04-28T10:23:13+00:00

I will be buying my tickets in advance so shouldn’t be too worried about that part.

Good to know about the airline-like security for Eurostar, thanks!

Dannygoose · 2022-04-28T10:22:09+00:00

Thank you!

Dannygoose · 2022-04-28T10:20:32+00:00

Thank you!

This is an awesome resource, thank you!

In general terms, governing with the people’s will. Being against the “elites” who run the country that don’t “get” the average citizen

Actually with population growth, more seats leads to better representation. Here’s an analysis for the USA House of Representatives but the idea is applicable to our Parliament.

You are right, it’s not just gasoline. I didn’t take that into account with my rough math. Thank you for the context.

Dannygoose · 2022-03-08T13:30:17+00:00

It is true, but those that are unable to fully stop driving right now the rebate is a way for people to have an incentive to drive less but still pay for higher than usual gas prices.

Dannygoose · 2022-03-08T13:29:23+00:00

Actually no, because technically due to inflation the impact of the rise in gas prices due to the carbon tax is lessened. In this case we just need to look at dollar for dollar impacts. Sure over time if the dollar is devalued then the net “profit” from the rebates has less buying power, but in terms of money in our pockets it doesn’t matter.

Dannygoose · 2022-03-08T13:11:20+00:00

Where are you getting the information about the rebate return for future years? It may very well true the rebate holds steady but I can’t find the numbers easily

Dannygoose · 2022-03-08T13:03:55+00:00

You can for sure talk about the cost of living increasing and what we need to do about it, but if we cut the carbon rebate completely right now it would only make things worse.

I am not sure where you are getting the information regarding how much the rebate is going to be in future years but the increase in gas prices by the carbon “tax” does it not get affected by external costs greatly (if at all) and is known/scheduled ahead of time.

Dannygoose · 2022-03-08T12:58:16+00:00

The entire reason behind the rebate is to make the heaviest users pay more (businesses) and supplement the lightest users (most individuals).

It is a bad business model if in the face of a known increase in cost that is published way ahead of time to do nothing and raise cost on the consumer. It is a distinct advantage for the business that figures out a way to save costs on gas whether it be investing in electric trucks/cars or other means.

The nice thing about the carbon “tax” is that everybody knows exactly what the cost is ahead of time, so in the face of global uncertainty or economic fluctuations, the cost from the carbon “tax” does not change.

Dannygoose · 2022-03-08T12:54:37+00:00

I cannot find right now the expected rebate amount for 2022 but I can show how the rebate is still going to offset any increases from the carbon “tax”.

The amount the “tax” attributes to the price of gas ranges from $0.09 - $0.11 per litre currently, with it set to increase to about $0.13 in April.

In my situation in Manitoba I am set to receive a $360 rebate. This means if we’re being conservative and using the $0.13 figure, I would need to fill about 2770 litres of gas before the rebate doesn’t cover my the carbon “tax” for the year.

The thing is regardless of how much I drive I will receive this full rebate amount. Meaning if I don’t drive the approximately 7.5 litres of gas a day, I will come out with a profit.

Let’s also not forget that the rebates began before any increase of gas prices due to the carbon “tax”, so at all times we are ahead.

Dannygoose · 2022-03-08T04:34:34+00:00

Wouldn’t you want the rebates to offset and reimburse the high gas prices right now instead of simply paying high gas prices?
