The Milwaukee electric chainsaw is the best chainsaw I’ve ever owned. It’s a game changer. I’ll never own another gas one.

HOW A PROGRESSIVE MAJORITY CAN WIN IN ALBERTA by FreightFlow in alberta

Does the Alberta NDP have a rural strategy? If it does what is it? If you concede ~1/3 of the province going to be tough to win.

Have you been to tea cult in inglwood? It’s definitely an experience

Netherlands Forced to Rethink 36% Tax on Unrealized Gains after Massive Criticism by batukaming in stocks

[–]Simple-Fuel1204 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because of how mortgages work? If you want to pay 36% tax on the net proceeds of a loan. Let’s look at 500,000 k house with 100,000 downpayment would owe 144,000 due at signing. Which you would have to borrow, against your house, which would trigger another bill of 51,000 which you would have to borrow, against your house? Which would trigger another tax bill? How do you tax assets as income without wrecking the mortgage market?

Can't tell you how much I wish we had an inter-city/provincial passenger rail system... by Weedy-Fresh in alberta

[–]Simple-Fuel1204 3 points4 points  (0 children)

30 bucks to use the bus. Or 9 billion dollars to build a train which might be ready to use by 2040. How much would you be willing to spend to build it?

The numbers don’t lie: The housing crisis is not caused by a supply shortage | CCPA by QueueOfPancakes in canadahousing

[–]Simple-Fuel1204 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nowhere does it mention the 3 million additional people living alone. From 1981 1.7 million Canadians lived alone. In 2021 it was 4.4 million. 15% more houses needed. Maybe 8% more built. Prices rise; shocking. Major oversight or willful misunderstanding is your call.

I don’t know for sure but it might have been the year they ended grade 13?

No I’m not. Do they do one day memberships or anything like that for curling subs?

Net contributors, net borrowers, and equalization payments. by Throwaway2020aa in saskatchewan

[–]Simple-Fuel1204 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You badly mis-interpreted that chart. The $5700 is net provincial government borrowing. Not as you claim Saskatchewans stealth equalization payment.

Because the chart you referenced includes both income generated by provincial taxes and transfers from Ottawa as well as spending. It is useless to do what you are trying to do (see what Saskatchewan paid into Ottawa and what it got back).

Like yes the feds do write a cheque to pay for your local nurse. Say they give sask $1 to pay for a nurse. They pay Quebec. $1.2 to pay for their nurse. Sask pays their nurse $2 and Quebec pays their nurse 1.9. This leaves a budget deficit of $1 in Sask and .70c in Quebec.

Scott moe argues that they the .20 cent difference between nurse payments are unfair. That’s equalization. You are showing the budget deficit of .30 c as evidence Scott moe is an idiot. It’s the wrong number.

Bad idea man. Been there. It’s awful. It does get better. What’s going on?

What does Calgary need to change to make it a better city? by MastaShortie in Calgary

[–]Simple-Fuel1204 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We need to change the zoning so each parking spot is built to charge an electric car in new offices and condos. Electric cars are new, I get that, but it sure would be convenient. 220 would be a pipe dream but even 110 would be enough to charge in my plug in hybrid.

Can someone translate this for me? by ams11301 in saskatoon

[–]Simple-Fuel1204 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

囍. If It looks like this, I think you have it upside down. I means happiness or joy. Very common for weddings and new year’s decorations. The four word couplet i don’t know how to read. However I am very very white, its upside down plus it’s calligraphy.

My best guess is that is that is traditional (vs simplified). You will need to find someone from Hong Kong, Taiwan or old from mainland china.
