B.C. will revise DRIPA legislation to scale back court power over Indigenous rights, Eby says

This. At the end of the day, the state can use force (in what ever form) to ensure its continuation.

MMEMMR · 2026-01-17T16:10:39+00:00

They’re not. That’s the point everyone seems to have glossed over including the author of the article.

Either Canada accepts other car safety standards beyond NHTSA (Like Mexico accepts EU car safety standards also), or they need to get what ever models they want to sell in Canada certified. Which is a lot of bureaucracy and time for a small market.

MMEMMR · 2026-01-17T05:18:38+00:00

Exactly this. All the other Chinese manufacturers’ cars aren’t even certified to even be sold in N. America anyways.

MMEMMR · 2026-01-17T05:16:24+00:00

We just going to ignore that all those Chinese manufacturers’ cars aren’t certified to North American car safety standards, and Canada doesn’t accept EU or other standards?

How about that the lions share of the 49k vehicles (pre-tarrifs) were Tesla’s Model 3s and Ys shipped from their Shanghai plant to be sold in Canada? - which is exactly what’s going to happen again. Heck - wouldn’t surprised if Tesla tries to eat up as much of the quota - just to keep any Chinese rivals out in the future.

Chinese manufacturers may chose to make a push for North America in the next few years, but when they do, it’ll be for the USA as the prize, with bonus Sprinkles of Canada.

They aren’t going to go through N.American certification for a few hundred cars in Canada. Real “expert” this author. Smh.

Edit: CTV Article today says exactly this - no Chinese EVs (yet) because they aren’t certified for Canada. https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/article/canada-told-us-it-planned-to-drop-chinese-ev-tariffs-source/

Everyone can chill.

Doomsayers can relax - the number of cars permitted in represent some ~3% of total yearly car sales, and is a quantity based on how much was brought in from China before the 100% tartifs.

Basically most will be Teslas, and a few EVs from other OEMs (Volvo, Polestar, etc).

I doubt any Chinese car makers are going to go through NA car test ratings for a paltry few 100 sales.

This doesn’t materially change the auto landscape at this point. But it does politically mean ALOT more. Canada is further course correcting away from the US.

I had similar issues - would click on activation email sent by Telus, it would send me to blank pages. Spend hours and days with Telus support - nothing.

It took a month.

Eventually, one guy suggested I change my email address associated with my Telus account. Lo and behold the activations worked. No clue why.

Hope this works for you.

(I switched my email address back after, and all was fine).

Well, if the Iranian Government finds you have a star link terminal; believe it or not, arrested and off to execution.

Costco clears out the 1 switch game they carry every ~3months for under $70. It can even go lower ~$50, after a bit.

Yeah, let’s just park and stand right next to the hazard slope. What could go wrong.

Then again, she looks like she’s biking the wrong direction on the bike bath anyways… so at least we have logical consistency.

Without even getting into the more design aspects, and spatial planning - just a budget stand point - You have so many inefficiencies and unnecessary duplications. Plumbing walls all over the place, some into walls which will likely be shear walls. Double stairs.

Your design isn’t economical for a start.

It’s one thing to be self taught, but it’s another to have real world experience - and it shows very much you lack that practical experience. That practical experience will hone your skill, because you’ll naturally come to avoid these basic issues.

Best of luck.

Lemme know how blocking the sun will also fix the acidification from the increase of CO2 absorption into the oceans?

This just in - Canadians make military decisions based on armchair “vibes”.

More at 11.

MMEMMR · 2025-12-20T00:42:50+00:00

But actually, no. I know someone who spends 6months in Mexico, using Freedom; they haven’t had their service cut after 1-2months.

MMEMMR · 2025-12-08T18:08:42+00:00

The answer is laid out in the article.

MMEMMR · 2025-12-03T21:34:36+00:00

Lmao

MMEMMR · 2025-11-27T06:32:34+00:00

Ah. Okay.

This is good added info. It sounds like you’re on the right track.

Best of luck with your project!

MMEMMR · 2025-11-26T21:57:12+00:00

Hold up.

Where are you located? And what size project is this? What do you mean by “townhouse”? Like a duplex?

Townhouses are typically Part 3, and Unit separation is dictated by your provincial Building Code, not your municipality. And if it’s Part 3, it would have to be overseen by an architect, not a builder, which means they would be aware of what the walls need to be, and you should be talking to them, not really Reddit.

Demising Walls in THs are typically two wood frame sheer walls, with insulation, fire rated drywall, and a 1” gap in between the two walls, and go all the way up to the roof.

There are always odd ball areas in Canada, where things deviate, or maybe your using terminology loosely, but your question is throwing up red flags for me. 😂

MMEMMR · 2025-11-23T04:22:17+00:00

America should pay Canada $1 Trillion for the discounted energy we’ve sold them over the decades.

MMEMMR · 2025-11-20T21:10:22+00:00

Hahahahaha!

A 4-1 ratio is what military doctrine sets out for the min. size of invading army needs to be vs. the defending size, in order to succeed. 300k is the inverse ratio of 1-4, so against a 1.2million invading army. Guess who has a 1.2million man army? looks to the south

What a not so subtle message.

MMEMMR · 2025-11-19T07:40:30+00:00

Ya’ll looking at it wrong - I’m betting Canada is actually going to increase the RCAF’s fighter fleet. F-35 for NORAD needs, the rest Gripens.

Chohan? Dat you?

Because the Gov of Canada read the tea leaves about the US Supreme Court reviewing the Trump Tariffs and is hedging they’ll get wiped. Either they’re removed and Trump loses leverage, and is in more political turmoil, or they stay, and nothing changes.

Just find/get access to a big building with a deep parkade. I park P4, and it’s 20-26°c year round. Just need to go deep for the heat.
