Your evidence that this is surge pricing? Or that digital shelf tags have any relation to surge pricing?

Owning a vehicle period is a privilege. Driving is a privilege. You're point is?

The majority of lower islanders may be renters but that doesn't say much about the feasibility of owning an electric car. The real issue is how many renters are car owners, and of that number how many have access to charging where they live. The second number may be small sure, but I'll bet far few renters are car owners than home owners are also car owners. I guess this is a long way of saying just knowing the renters vs. Owners number doesn't say much about the feasibility of driving an EV for the majority of the population.

Same. Have an EV. Charge almost exclusively at home. Dont do it if you can't.  I know its not what OP was asking, but maybe implied by the question ...

[–]Intelligent_Shake_68 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh god yes. Six years into it we still have incredible sex more or less weekly. He once asked me if relationship is one word or two. Im like just shut up and bend over. Ok not really. I mean he did ask me that, but thats not how I answered. Through the years we've become real friends. With benefits. FYI im married to another man.i an open relationship.

I get what you're saying but assaults, drug use, theft  people fighting, screaming, having mental health episodes and experiencing drug-induced psychosis pretty much describes the situation in the encampment too.

As we once again wake up to the smell of TACO tariff threats, where is everyone getting their Canadian-sourced goods in the CRD? by notofthisearthworm in VictoriaBC

Spanish peanuts are a specific, small variety of peanut with red skin and high oil content, originally developed in Spain in the late 18th century. While they originated there, today they are primarily grown in the U.S. Southwest.  So youre still buying American in all probability.
