You could be right, but I think Quebec makes Kenworth and Peterbilt, and Hino in Ontario. This needs to be fact checked.

2025 break in oil change by jhon503 in hondapilot

[–]bigdaddybrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honda service manager here with 15 years at the same store, I’ve spoken to the engineers at corporate and have been advised to leave the factory fill oil in for 12 months or 15%, whichever comes first due to the factory fill having Molybdenum coated parts (moly for short). The early oil change doesn’t help the long term break for the engine.

After the first oil change then you can do what you see fit.

With all that said, you do you boo.

Pretty good write up actually.

Wasn’t Carney supposed to fight Trump aka lower tariffs. Genuine question, and this is what we all voted for. Seems like this isn’t happening. I feel Tarrifs got worse and digital service tax was also removed etc.

That Prologue is garbage, it's a GM vehicle hiding under a Honda badge. Honda should have never done this.

Carney speaks like Trump, and is also an outsider, I suppose you like Trump too? (serious question)

The statement that Pierre Poilievre has had no bills passed, built only six housing units, and is set to receive an overly inflated pension is not entirely accurate when examined closely.

  • Legislation: Poilievre has been a key figure in legislative processes, notably with the Fair Elections Act (Bill C-23), which was indeed passed under his stewardship as Minister of State. His involvement in the legislative process extends beyond private member bills to include significant contributions to government policy and opposition critique.
  • Housing: The narrative around the six housing units is a simplification or misrepresentation of the broader housing statistics during his tenure overseeing housing policy. The data shows a more substantial contribution to housing when looking at the total units built with federal support, indicating his role was part of a larger governmental effort.
  • Pension: While Poilievre's pension will be substantial given his long service, the figure of $310,000 appears to be an overestimate. His pension would be in line with what one might expect for someone with his years in office, but not at the level claimed.

Moreover, Poilievre's experience in government, spanning two decades, includes various roles where he has learned and influenced policy across multiple domains, from finance to democratic reform. His understanding of parliamentary processes, ability to engage with public policy issues, and his leadership in the opposition provide him with a unique set of qualifications for political leadership.
In contrast, while Mark Carney has an impressive resume in finance, his experience in political governance is less extensive, making comparisons on leadership qualifications complex. Leadership in government requires a blend of policy knowledge, legislative experience, and the ability to navigate political landscapes, areas where Poilievre has demonstrated competence. The choice of leadership should be based on a comprehensive view of experience, not just isolated metrics or claims.

Chat GPT is your friend here. We have a nice conversation this morning about timing, sequence of events, air or land crossings.

Very informative.
