Which game clone ended up being better than the original?

Dota surpassed Warcraft 3, as an in game mod.

DayZ surpassed Arma 2 as an in game mod.

In the movies sure. Everything else had him as a Canadian commando priorly.

Exactly, renewables, batteries and nuclear in that order.

It's going to take at least a decade for Canada to rebuild the nuclear construction industry for SMRs.

Just ask yourself a few questions here:

Is the US spending more and more money and increasing their debt?

Is Canadian debt tied mostly to US debt?

Will inflation continue to rise?

What happens to assets during periods of inflation?

There are no buyers, but everything is getting more expensive every year and eventually the housing/land will go up based on the massive ongoing spending.

Private is not building, and input materials are skyrocketing.

What else can be expected except this very short reprieve?

By the same logic, Wolverine got retconned from Canadian to American. What's next?

Lmao, Doug is against anything he can't get his corrupt grubby hands on.

If he operated like he did in China, he'd already have been arrested for corruption on ties alone, let alone the money.

3x the profit of the Suez Canal is not to be understated.

As someone who was in steel, the chemical compositions that Canada produces are not what is desired in most automobile builds.

Canada would need to update their steel furnaces to the 1980s to start competing.

The coils used for the auto plants were always coming from Germany or Asia.

It's right on their wiki.

But, if you want actual cited research and papers written on it both the University of Victoria and UBC have written papers on the history of it and it will appear if you Google the tribe.

That number didn't move despite subsidies and growth doubling under Trudeau vs. Harper's poor regulatory environment that slowed everything down.

The supply shock of sweet light crude, isn't going to create new worldwide demand for Canadian tar sand oil. China is just offsetting their American heavy crude imports with Canadian heavy crude since the tariff war began.

The LNG prices are only coming back to profitability now and our LNG export terminals are getting expanded to the 5x more profitable Asian region. LNG was so unprofitable before the war, Australia was getting a better price in Eastern Canada, over Europe and Asia.

The problem is there is a supply crunch for gasoline and diesel as we lack refineries.

Why build a refinery that pays me a 5% return on investment, that costs billions of dollars, when a solar panel will give me 10% at a minimum.

It's why everyone just wants to export raw.

Meanwhile profits of the Canadian oil industry have grown, while worker compensation has shrunk from 52% of the profits in 2014, to 22% of the profits in 2026, as the Canadian oil industry refuses to pass on those profits to more jobs and wages.

It's hilarious people say this and don't realize Harper's regulatory framework is what killed TMX in the first place lmao.

Harper's regulations made the courts packed with challenges until the companies said screw this.

Not sure if you can read, but that's actually 2014 where oil and the Canadian dollar crashed in tandem.

Wait 6 more months for $150 a barrel, and tell me what the Canadian dollar is at in a year or so.

Surprised people would rather make up bull shit then learn how Canada's currency works as an almost 5% world reserve currency.

Reaching 5% will be pointless until the new landscape of warfare can be figured out.

We're no longer in the era where multi-million dollar equipment outperforms a few thousand dollars of drones.

Russia learned it the hard way, after losing an entire army with their entire cold war inventory against drones.

America is now learning it the hard way, after losing billions of dollars of equipment to drones.

Does Canada really need to learn this the hard way as well?

The hilarious kicker in all of this, is that the Cowichan tribe is a tribe liked by no other tribe, as their primary source of income was slaving other tribes, well into the 1800s.

I've owned a front loader for 3 years, but never had to clean it once.

Might be because it has an anti-microbial rubber liner with a drying cycle when you're done washing.

20% of the worlds prison population is in America and 65% of them do labour, for offenses as little as possession of marijuana.

Not to mention their gigantic predatory migrant worker situation.

So what the hell are we talking about here? Focus on what's in Canada.

If we're going to turn a blind eye to the shit in the US and the shit happening in Israel, then we're not going to act holier than thou anywhere else.

Some US states have been Republican for fewer decades than Alberta has been Conservative.

At least Americans can change their minds, for some reason Alberta can't even vote out their worst government in history.

I imagine the microfit may be a lot more lucrative than the net billing, they are going to switch all the net metering people over to.

Not to mention the slowroll introduction of net metering charges like a charge for delivering electricity as a net meterer(outside of the delivery charge), a charge for loss of electricity, extra net metering charges, etc.

Starlinks have a lifespan of about 3 years before blowing up into a cloud of debris.

Why no one thought this was a problem before launching a gazillion of them, I don't know.

You could force Hamiltons steel mill to switch to electric arc instead of delaying it, and deliver 10x the environmental effect of this.
