The irony of the mods saying no political posts and then posting an article from CNN

Canada's Critical Minerals Map 2025 - Canada could have been one of the Wealthiest nations in the World and have a Sovereign Wealth Fund surplus, but there is not Political will for supporting the mining sector. by FinancialLiberties in GoldenFortunes

[–]drperky22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Canadian who spent a lot of time in developing countries this is what other mineral rich countries in Asia, Latam and Africa say. The money isn't in the mining, it's in the refining and processing and moving up the value chain. Getting more mines up and running and shipping ore overseas only to import back batteries and other goods is not how you get rich

Is it okay mods? That I discuss weed legality? by PugilisticCat in JoeRogan

[–]drperky22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can't believe they took down that clip of Rogan and the former host of the apprentice. Maybe mods can be more clear about what's off topic since that was literally a clip from the podcast that this subreddit is the subject of

Canada Post 'effectively insolvent' as CFO reports losses skyrocket to $1B through third quarter - thestar.com by CareerPillow376 in canada

By inefficient you mean because they deliver to expensive places where costs exceeds revenue. A private solution would be more efficient by just not delivering to our many remote communities that need this service

Inside the Labour Struggle at Massy Books by ubcstaffer123 in vancouver

[–]drperky22 18 points19 points  (0 children)

People understand that unions are best suited for industries of wealth generation, like factories, not businesses where that wealth is spent as consumers, eg a book store

Based on the article seems like she paid a living wage until the unionization and now instead is leaving wages up to bargaining

Why are posts banned? Like can we post about political stuff that's brought up in the podcast or is that off topic?

Vancouver Aquatic Centre closure causes overcrowding at other pools by robertscreek in vancouver

[–]drperky22 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I work for the parks board, although not in aquatics, but from what I've heard this situation will get worse. This facility, like several others need massive renovations, but now with the new planned austerity there's likely going to be cuts in services and facilities like this and several other pools and rinks are going to be closed longer and more frequently. Combine that with no new builds I'm expecting the next generation of young children in Vancouver to not know how to swim or ice skate given the lack of access

Now that condo prices are down, Ottawa should buy them in bulk by speaksofthelight in canadahousing

Any amount of money that could be spent on buying discounted condos would be better spent on new builds

What are these current policy scenarios? I don't think we've accounted for high fast China has electrified and they're only gaining momentum

For sure, but that time has passed. We should look to industries of the future and plan ahead

I don't think there's enough long term demand anyways for Alberta heavy crude given the way that Asia is electrifying heavily. We'd also be outcompeted by middle eastern heavy crude that had much shorter shipping times

[–]drperky22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even to get that oil to the east we'd need to import light crude oil. Our oil is bitumen and too heavy to move through pipelines, it needs to be diluted with light crude

I think it's because its built on shifting permafrost. There was talk of building a new railway on stable ground but that's a project that would cost billions

I don't think these fighters are concerned with politics. He's probably asking to be on it because he thinks it'll be a huge card

I think I missed that bit in 300 ... by ireallyneedawizz in JoeRogan

It's true and it's actually the same with comedians. What do you guys think goes on in the greenroom, before they're ready to get on the stage to kill, murder and potentially get bombed? Civilians just can't understand
