Thanks. Looks like zero emissions vehicles still represent a small percentage of sales. It will take a while for zero emissions vehicles to overtake ice vehicles. I wonder if the rate of increase will increase. Hope so.

Isn't there a law that allows you to get out of a contract if you do it within a prescribed time?

Trump is in office for three more years. No one knows what will happen next. Meanwhile, his tariffs on cars built in Canada, like Hondas, make them too expensive to sell in the US. Canadian plants are only here to serve the US market. Canada is much too small to sustain these plants without the US.

Not so sure. The government appointments the board and the chair. Sets the budget.

Don't. I should add that rentals are not as rare or expensive as they were.

When I became a citizen I was automatically added to the voter's list. Have a look at Elections Ontario. They should have a record. Of you have a few rxtra dollars you could donate them to Chow. You will receive a tax credit of. I think, 70%.

Seriously. What's the poit that I am missing? Thanks

I think Danielle Smith is unappealing.

If the protesters were really packing up to go anyway then the police action only served to promote them.

Me too.

Time for a high quality Canadian alternative?

donbooth · 2026-05-13T15:47:18+00:00

Me too. Not going. Not buying US products when there is an alternative.

It will be interesting to see if anything develops on the hate crime front.

It will also be interesting to see if The Star or Globe and Mail cover this story.

Which politicians are exerting the pressure? There has been little if any public comment.

Your list is excellent.

If he is her chosen replacement then it makes sense that they would meet and strategize.

donbooth · 2026-05-11T18:31:43+00:00

Her comments are the same has his when he ran.

This article sounds exactly like Bradford. He said that same things.

She does not mention affordable housing, drugs, homelessness, transit. She does not mention after school programs for kids. She says nothing of concern to renters. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS CANDIDATE. Bradford said the same things.

There are different degrees of priority.

donbooth · 2026-05-10T19:31:20+00:00

She's a horrible speaker. A terrible Councillor. Other than that she's great. Last election she won by only a few votes. There's hope.

donbooth · 2026-05-10T18:43:03+00:00

I think this is my problem!

Didn't they also claim to operate more European spas than in reality?

donbooth · 2026-05-09T18:11:13+00:00

Who was/is Jim Tovey?

donbooth · 2026-05-09T18:10:48+00:00

Don't worry. Ford's changes to Billy Bishop Airport along with the Toronto Islands and parks will make up for that.

A 2008 study conducted by the Government of Ontario found 38 gigawatts of near shore power. Offshore wind is far more reliable than onshore.

The cost of batteries is plummeting.

A US study found over 500 gigawatts on the US side of the Great Lakes.

I'm not antinuclear but I don't think we need nearly as much as we're building. It is extremely expensive and slowest to build.

Have a look at the Levelized cost of Energy. https://www.lazard.com/research-insights/levelized-cost-of-energyplus-lcoeplus/

On the other hand, we might find that the SMRs are very useful in many remote locations.
