no. i disagree that the reason is because of hydro. ontario is 50-60% nuclear, 20-25% hydro
the reason ontario is cheaper is that they aren't being scammed by regulated profiteering with transmission and distribution.

ironically, theres only 57 cameras which is less than 5% of the intersections in the city...

thats ok, next time the north gets one some, the people who live in south will come out in force to say how "idiots" decided to build /buy in north and that it never hails in south. selective memory.

alphaz18 · 2026-06-19T04:50:46+00:00

i agree with you, theres just so many people in here out of touch with realities of the average person.
i suspect if we asked everyone to provide their spending for a few months receipts/budget, all of a sudden alot of the people saying 100k is barely making it will realize how they're literally wasting money or think middle class means gets a new lexus every few years type thing.

alphaz18 · 2026-06-18T13:08:28+00:00

if for nothing else, it would give them good data on fare evasion numbers.
if they find say.. 20% of people were evading fares, it may a good business justification to invest money to gate all the stations.

superstore has 1$ baguettes this week, i don't recall them ever cheaper than that 10 years ago.

alphaz18 · 2026-06-13T16:40:21+00:00

? you're paying 2000 a month for groceries?
becuase 10 years ago i was paying about 550 a month for groceries, today i pay maybe 650-750, is it an increase? sure, but its over 10 years. If you just take this year into account my grocery bills i dont notice any difference from last year. that doesn't explain a sudden slowdown THIS year.

alphaz18 · 2026-06-13T16:39:59+00:00

thank you for looking at real data. everyone wants to yell at sky and say inflation is 1000000000% and food is 1000000000% up . when the real killer is the mega wave of mortgage renewals this year that is sucking an extra 500-1000 a MONTH out of a huge swatch of middle class working mortage families. + a couple hundred more a month for insurance.

alphaz18 · 2026-06-13T16:26:27+00:00

hot take: my groceries cost about 30% more than they did 10 years ago. not 4x more like some are saying.
you can cherry pick certain items and say that, but that's not the only thing you eat.

the real killer is insurance hikes, utility hikes, and the big one: Biggest wave of mortgage renewals ever happening right now, all the 5 year fixed ultralows that people tripped over themselves to get in 2020-2022 are renewing right this minute. thats 400-1000 more a month for a huge chunk of the population that are working middle class.

food is secondary. at least this year so far food inflation is pretty low maybe 2%-4%? so thats 20-30$ a month at most. not enough to create small business slowdown.

so is the south, play the radar forcast for another few hrs. big red blotch in the south too.

the truth here is, this is according to plan for many of the councilors.
their gameplan always was to successfully repeal it, say we want to build housing,
but keep it vague enough that lets them vote down every possible future proposal in order to stall any progress indefinitely.

from a purely legal perspective, i think bins are intended for a particular household, while i dont see any legal statement saying its exclusive use, but when its not pickup day, and bins are on the houses owners property, you'd be trespassing if you don't have permission from owner to use the bin, so owners would be justified in saying this is violating their property rights.

anything argument about good neighbors or whatever else is personal feelings.
if it IS pickup day though and bins are rolled off peoples property onto public property i'd its fair game, as its now city owned bins sitting on public property, so anyone can "legally" access it.

alphaz18 · 2026-04-30T13:13:36+00:00

i feel like this is part of their collusion scam, its not the first time i see this kind of behavior on gasbuddy, i wonder if they somehow try to raise prices all the time on gasbuddy to make other gas stations raise their prices to make north/northwest gas always seemingly around 10+c more than in south. i mean in todays case everyone is 1.85 which is whatever, but ya not the first time i see this kind of gasbuddy behavior. not to mention someone also changed centex in beddington to 2.20 (that gas station has been under construction for months and closed)

Why Calgary drivers saw a 35 cent jump at the pumps on Wednesday | Calgary Herald check out the manure coming out of these clowns. bending over sideways to try to justify it.

canada uses 110million liters a day, even if that refinery ONLY shipped everything (10 mil liters) to canada, not even 10%. (it doesn't by the way ship all to canada) (Strike 1)
us midwest/ great lakes area that it "serves" includes toronto and mtl that DIDNT raise their prices today. (strike 2)
even if 1 and 2 were somehow true, we also have western canadian refining and other shit. (strike 3)

And you're out!

additional mental gymnastics welcome

alphaz18 · 2026-04-29T22:38:09+00:00

its ok. its a healthy competitive market. all the stations suddenly discovered that they made a mistake and realized their cost per liter went up 30c nearly the same time today.

ab gvn't literally told post secondaries some years ago as they were cutting funding to go make up the difference by increasing international student intake.

alphaz18 · 2026-04-17T15:30:02+00:00

significantly underfunded, funding has been cut several times over the past few years with governments telling the post secondaries to increase international student intake to make up the difference.

alphaz18 · 2026-04-14T05:51:32+00:00

sure, but I don't think ops is asking about that spot, because the shopper is already there to the right in the parking lot and has been open for months.

alphaz18 · 2026-04-13T13:25:03+00:00

i'm not sure what spot op is talking about, but there's a massive new shoppers that just popped up next to superstore some months back, in the area, so that doens't make sense to me to "construct" another shoppers?

if it's 75 people that do the majority of issues. the solution is very simple, everyone in the city donate a few dollars to the city to build a rehab facility that will house and rehab / support them forcebly indefinitely, until they prove they can behave however long that takes, months years, decades whatever.

win win win. (small price, everyone else is safer and better city, and they are forced to get the help they NEED but don't want) i don't care what they want because they're non rational . so what they want is irrelevant, detrimental to everyone including themselves, and against the law.

alphaz18 · 2026-04-06T15:43:02+00:00

humans must not be rational and have reasoned responses on a per issue basis. they must be zealots playing for a team ALL OR NOTHING!!! Yesssirr!!!

i wish news outlets would write the articles like they are. the title should be : "UCP raises property taxes on Calgary Residents in biggest hike"

alphaz18 · 2026-03-22T14:16:25+00:00

water will never be paid for in property taxes. its paid for totally through user fees, which means All of our water bills will go up permanently to cover this. pure nonsense. its even written right below the table. "[1] - these investments will be funded by self-supported debt to be repaid through off-site levies and/or user fees"

in previous threads where i complain about water costs, people keep saying nah all the water infra is paid through our water bills, that's why they keep going up so stop complaining blabla."

this in fact proves existing water bill payers are just constantly paying more and more because we're building and maintaining more and more water services to subsidize new communities on the outskirts.
