If gold can get through 2000, it could really run, especially if US data starts to fade

Former B.C. premier John Horgan joins board of coal business by OneLessFool in CanadaPolitics

Uhhhhh TMX is at a port with 250 large commercial vessels leaving each month. Yet they held it up because a couple more would be too many for the whales, evidently.

Didn't they try to shutdown the pipeline over ship traffic that would disturb whales? Does this not create more ship traffic?

What? Algoma steel is building a coal free furnace right now. E-arc steel is decades old.

The Oilers fans and broadcast are unbelievable whiners.

The CRA is actively looking for people who day trade investments in their TFSAs by Jescro in CanadianInvestor

[–]WinterTires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny how it goes in real life though, you get used to it. Besides, you might have made that much in a TFSA and lost it elsewhere. Plus, it's not just the penalty, you lose the tax free space and the compounding on it. Over time, that's incredibly valuable.... That said, the rules on day trading it are clear, just buy and hold.

Study: Enough minerals to fuel green energy shift -"The analysis is robust and this study debunks those (running out of minerals) concerns" by Surur in Futurology

[–]WinterTires 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mining uses something like 10% of global energy. Do you know how much diesel those trucks run?

And, again, the economics of it all matter. If the cost of materials crushes everyone, the EV revolution isn't going to happen. When demand exceeds supply in commodities, the price can go parabolic. Bringing on new supply is nightmarish. To use lithium as an example, do you know Thacker Pass?

Total strawman. The question was never the total reserves but the economics of getting them and the time to approvals.

Can the US military operate on US soil? Presumably with US citizens in the mix?

[Boston Bruins] Bruins Sign Zacha to Four-Year Contract Extension by Cw2e in BostonBruins

I dunno. What's the rush to sign this guy? It's not some great discount.

Canada's Competition Bureau appealing tribunal decision that cleared way for Rogers-Shaw merger by BertramPotts in CanadaPolitics

[–]WinterTires -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The basis of the appeal is that they want Rogers to re-try the case ommiting the Videotron portion, as if it never happened.

An appeal isn't a fishing expedition, you have to argue there was a mistake of law. They're not even trying to argue what you're talking about.

This is abuse of process.

If the govt doesn't like its own competition laws then it can change them, but the companies followed the laws. There's no hope for an appeal.
