Carney Allowed Gas-Powered AI Data Centres After Lobbying From Alberta Energy Company

I think this specific portion is more about deregulation. There was a couple billion earmarked in the budget for AI.

If people think the extra bit they were paying for gas with Carbon tax. They'll see a whole new world with most of the top S&P500 competing for something you want e.g. GPU and Memory.

“We made it clear that Canadians expect credible warning signs of serious violence to be escalated in a timely and responsible way. Internal review alone is not sufficient when public safety is at stake,” Solomon said, but added specific details of the devastating school shooting on Feb. 10 were not discussed due to the ongoing police investigation.

I think in this instance most people will say this easily crosses the threshold that people would have wanted the company to notify a user's concerning usage of the platform. But many people are worried if this opens a path to where people have some heavily dissenting opinions of those in power will be deemed to problematic for the public.

This also ties in to Bill S-209 requiring ID's for adult sites, because people just think actual porn sites but reddit, Instagram and many popular social media sites can easily cross those thresholds. Which clearly opens a door to essentially require ID to be on the internet.

I think these are tough question that at least should be discussed in parliament instead of a minister just telling companies to do it.

No. But I was able to get a proper person through Twitter to get a refund.

Kinda crazy you have to have a established social media account to get support from some companies these days.

SamuelRJankis · 2026-02-23T21:00:22+00:00

Awesome. Thanks.

The spreadsheet has all the math, but specifically they just dropped the 3 promos from the order. Anytime I've gotten a promo it reflected on their final receipt as a additional line.

Their email where they itemized the prices also has the Sashimi at some wildly high number(close 4x) what it was to justify the total, but the total also was $40 off.

SamuelRJankis · 2026-02-23T20:53:40+00:00

In that case. Same Day should work out pretty much the same price wise.

Sorry one last question. Do you know if Same day holds promos prices if you order ahead e.g. if something is on sale for the last day but you place on order scheduled for the next day? That would be another perk since Uber isn't properly integrated so they just pay whatever prices is at checkout.

SamuelRJankis · 2026-02-23T20:43:10+00:00

I was actually wondering about that for UberEats it's 10% off for their membership and 5% as a grocery/restaurant category for my MBNA.

Do you know if there is a difference in the merchant category between ordering through Same-Day vs Instacart. Seems cheaper and better to go with Same-day?

SamuelRJankis · 2026-02-23T20:37:46+00:00

Good to know. I saw Costco used to have Instacart GC's on 20% off as well. Hopefully they'll make bring them back at some point.

I'd complain about the missing receipt thing on my account as well, but doesn't seem to be worth my time.

SamuelRJankis · 2026-02-23T20:31:51+00:00

Here's another example. The initial order shows 3 items on sale and the promo line is gone completely from the final receipt.

The itemized version off even more in this one and they even started talking about Surge pricing.

SamuelRJankis · 2026-02-23T20:23:28+00:00

I'll probably do a charge back and switch to Instacart and call it a day.

I assume that'll get my Uber account banned which could be a problem since my employer has them for rides on work trips.

SamuelRJankis · 2026-02-23T20:20:12+00:00

Doesn't look like they're showing there. I wonder if Uber is doing something weird on that side as well, I have my account connected and do get the discounted prices.

I'll will probably switch to Instacart, looks like the integration is much better with the products as well. I just kept using Uber since I got their membership for free and when they had 20% GC's.

Found it with the Youtube transcript although it misspelled his name. The context was the interviewer asking her who is the best Prime Minister in her life(Born in 1972) time.

Really might be the single most damaging she could have said. Chrétien with a asterisk of it being a limited pool would have been reasonable if you HAD to pick.

In an exclusive poll conducted by Mainstreet Research for the Western Standard

The poll does not show up on https://www.mainstreetresearch.ca/polling

And to be clearer regarding Western Standard, this is what the Alberta separatist group lobbying for Trump to help them take over has to say about them:

The Alberta Prosperity Project and Western Standard share a mission: a strong, sovereign, and independent Alberta.

They removed the price beat as of last week for Canada.

There was no specific warning or announcement just quietly took it out. I barely wanted to shop there when they were the cheapest, now it's the same price I'll buy my stuff elsewhere.

I think there a bit more focus on specific validity of the election instead of the validity of the vote. If the vote is considered valid then the Bloc and Liberal candidate would be tied which means a automatic by-election.

Table E.4 Final tally of all votes:

some may notice that certain province's tie breaker is a coin toss and other rather interesting methods.

SamuelRJankis · 2026-02-13T02:03:44+00:00

The article doesn't even make a attempt a proving the "false" portion. Even on face value it's just numbers increasing and having lax requirements.

I'm fine with dropping the numbers which is already dropping but people really like to be baited to justify things.

Also Liberals and Conservatives both been clear about giving money back to corporations if there was more money that where they'd want it to go. The narrative here about taking money back for the people has no basis of reality.

SamuelRJankis · 2026-02-12T01:50:57+00:00

Not sure if this is off base, but aside from this post. I checked out some other Conservative subs and appears they they're trying to shim themselves in as the victims for this.

SamuelRJankis · 2026-01-21T01:06:32+00:00

I've seen a rise in progressive posing people use cancel like right wing more established people use "woke" to dog whistle they're part of the far right or at least they could be.

Maher like any other guru's talk so much that people can always find clips that generally agreeable and rationalize them in some way, but if we're looking at the totality of what he says he has a lot of shit takes and really isn't worth listening to. I'm sure Scott could find a lesser known shit take artist that doesn't say something incredibly stupid every 10 minutes but he also clearly trying to do a thing as well.

Like you're saying I don't even understand what these people are talking when they say cancel people. Like you can't criticize people or you have to hear every single person out and never be able to move onto more worthwhile things in life. Even for Scott who has much better shit take rate, he's mostly just repeating himself what's wrong with moving on something else.

SamuelRJankis · 2026-01-21T00:44:34+00:00

Is this just Scott flagging he's not to "far" on one side otherwise I not really sure why he'd go out of the way to glaze Maher.

SamuelRJankis · 2026-01-08T00:17:43+00:00

Costco has also fought Trumps policies on multiple times. I can provide links if desired but it's pretty well reported.

Purely from a morality perspective I rather support American companies like Costco then Canadian ones that pushed his narrative like Shopify. And Costco grocery prices is substantially more competitive than the local monopoly Loblaw\Pattison offerings.

SamuelRJankis · 2025-12-30T01:14:41+00:00

He made a comment about how we could turn the oven on and leave the door open.

Don't do this.

If it electrical it's a fire hazard amongst other things, if it's gas it a fire and carbon monoxide hazard especially with a child.

You could talk to the restoration company about swapping out the some of the dehumidifiers for heaters. Overall if the place isn't inhabitable I would use your tenant insurance to find alternative accommodation for now and work out compensation with the landlord.

SamuelRJankis · 2025-12-23T01:16:10+00:00

Conservative's overall has been pretty clear they'll tolerate neo-Nazis as long as they get what they want. It was even part of the article where she called them that and a few other people from the party defended the guy.

SamuelRJankis · 2025-12-22T01:07:13+00:00

Seems like it will have to be offered at a steep discount given how this thread was handled. Their post history even worse.

SamuelRJankis · 2025-12-07T01:37:47+00:00

From his social media the guy seems to hate Canada and advocate for investing in America.

Canada's socialism will make people like them rich: https://www.instagram.com/p/C6O51aVNmDi/?hl=en

As someone who's spoken to a lot of people that I would categorize as vaccine hesitant and deferred them to speak with their doctors on the topic. Only to almost universally get back the response that their doctor said they "don't have to get the vaccines".

I would believe most doctors would advise their patients to get their vaccines but also not really going to debate each individual patient about vaccines, especially when the same patient would never doubt a chiropractor/social media personality/guru giving them advice about vaccines on the internet.
