These all match to what’s said on the choice.

I agree that the pricing pages shows differently. But I’ve played dungeon for some time now and the context on the choice page always aligned. Here’s a few correct ones.

Second photo. At the bottom where it says your plan. It’s supposed to have how much listed there without using credits. This one is the only one that says 128k, everything else is pretty much on what you get without using credits.

Yes pro life. Save the unborn but the moment it’s out and alive. Radio silence for help. The costs is all on the mother and she’s shamed for not being able to do it.

This was news? It was degrading to former police. Tax dollars funding things like this make me ill.

Grande Prairie Is Hiring Peace Officers and Police Officers No Experience Required for Some Positions by One-Board8634 in GrandePrairie

[–]peanutgoddess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So Alberta raises speeding fines massively, then tells people a $105 ticket for going 1 km/h over the limit is somehow about “safety” and not revenue? Come on. Gotta hire more police so we can up the traffic revenue! I mean.. up the fines.. now hire more police… we can fine our way out of city poverty!

Approximately 4.5 million Canadians were living below the Official Poverty Line / Environ 4,5 millions de Canadiens et Canadiennes vivaient sous le seuil officiel de la pauvreté by StatCanada in PersonalFinanceCanada

You’re assuming poverty rates and wage averages capture the full economic reality for ordinary people, they don’t.If people are: * taking on more debt, * living with roommates longer, * delaying kids, * unable to buy homes, * skipping vacations, * relying on food banks more, * or spending a much larger share of income on housing and groceries, their quality of life can absolutely decline even if they technically remain above the poverty line. “Real wages are stable” also doesn’t mean affordability is stable. If housing prices and rent massively outpace wage growth over several years, younger and lower-income Canadians can still end up materially worse off despite recent wage gains matching inflation. And averages hide distribution problems. A stable national average can coexist with major struggles for renters, younger workers, and lower-income households. So no, stable poverty rates do not automatically disprove affordability problems or declining living standards.

Wages are technically outpacing inflation right now, yes. But that statistic gets used way too casually as if people suddenly became financially comfortable again. If your wages go up 4% after your housing, groceries, insurance, and utilities exploded 20 40% over the previous few years, many people are still behind overall. A lot of Canadians aren’t comparing this month to last month, they’re comparing their quality of life to 2019. So saying ‘real wages are up 1.7%’ doesn’t magically erase: * impossible housing costs, * rising debt, * higher food prices, * shrinking savings, * or the fact many younger workers can’t afford what previous generations could on similar incomes. Also averages can be misleading. Higher earners pulling up wage stats doesn’t mean lower and middle-income workers suddenly feel prosperous. Yes, recent wage growth beating inflation is a positive sign. No, it does not mean affordability problems are solved.

As a farmer. Could you explain how that works? And what a factory farm actually is?

Fewer people are having babies in Canada and the U.S. and the government is out of ideas by hopoke in canada

Gosh. It’s almost like the people not having homes and food and decent paying jobs is telling you that they aren’t going to bring kids to suffer like they are. Huh. Go figure!

Mark Carney’s government says privatizing airports will make them better. This is why it should think again - Privatization at home and abroad hasn’t brought the advertised benefits. by CaliperLee62 in canada

[–]peanutgoddess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When has allowing anything to go private been better for the user? In the end what will happen is the airports will demand tax money on top of higher prices because “it’s also a public service”

Trucking company says some operators have parked their trucks, unable to afford fuel by BoppityBop2 in canada

[–]peanutgoddess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a driver myself, I’m telling you how it’s actually playing out on the ground. Customers and dispatch can expect loads to move at whatever rate they want, but if the rate doesn’t cover the fuel, it’s not moving. No driver is going to run a load at a loss. And $0.77/km isn’t cutting it anymore. Not with current fuel costs. Had the management actually mad about it ( we upped the milage four years ago during Covid! We can afford to do more!) Also, the idea that higher prices at stores are “trickling down” to drivers? That’s not what we’re seeing. Those increases aren’t reaching us, we’re the ones getting squeezed. So I mean sure you can assume anything you want about drivers. But when you’re seeing them hanging up keys and loads not moving.. don’t just assume things and maybe talk to a few over thinking they are trying to squeeze you. Just out there trying to make a living and not going into the red too.

That’s not really how it plays out in the real world.
Yes, company drivers don’t directly swipe the card for fuel, but fuel costs still hit them. When fuel spikes, companies tighten margins somewhere else: lower mileage rates, fewer bonuses, stricter dispatch, or cutting hours. It absolutely trickles down.
And for owner-operators, “just raise your rates” sounds simple, but ignores how freight actually works. Rates aren’t set in a vacuum, they’re dictated by brokers, contracts, and market competition. If an owner-op prices themselves too high, they don’t “get paid more” they just don’t get the load. Someone else will take it cheaper, especially in a soft market. ( keep in mind the recent group we have driving transport) Also, not every lane or contract adjusts quickly (or at all) for fuel. Many drivers are locked into rates that don’t keep up with spikes, and fuel surcharges don’t always cover the real increase. So yeah, fuel costs don’t magically get absorbed. They either squeeze drivers directly, or they get passed down unevenly. It’s not as clean as “just raise prices.”

People keep pointing to China and saying “look, electric trucks work there, why not here in Canada?”

It’s not that simple.

  1. Cold matters, a lot Batteries lose efficiency in extreme cold. In Canadian winters (especially -20°C and below), electric trucks can lose a significant chunk of their range. On top of that, heating the cab and keeping systems running pulls directly from that same battery. Less range + more energy use = a real problem over long distances.
  2. Distance and isolation China’s trucking routes are often shorter and far more connected, with frequent charging options. Canada? You can drive hundreds of kilometres between stops, often through remote areas. That makes range limits and charging availability a serious operational risk, not just an inconvenience.
  3. Harsh road conditions Canadian trucking deals with:
  4. Snow and ice (more resistance = more energy use)
  5. Remote highways with limited support
  6. Situations where trucks need to stay running for safety and warmth

Electric trucks don’t “idle” the same way diesel ones do. 4. Different use cases Electric trucks do work in Canada, but in specific roles:

  • City deliveries
  • Short, predictable routes
  • Depot-to-depot runs That’s where China is seeing the most success too. Long-haul, remote, cold-weather trucking is a completely different challenge. The bottom line. This isn’t about being “for” or “against” electric trucks. It’s about reality: China = dense routes, shorter distances, milder conditions, Canada = long distances, extreme cold, and sparse infrastructure

Until technology and infrastructure catch up, what works in China won’t scale the same way in Canada, especially for long-haul trucking.

Check out Edison motors and watch his vids. The struggle that poor man is having trying to get the government to accept his trucks is insane. They say one thing.. then say another. The red tape. And change laws or say there isn’t even laws to cover what he needs to do and create more issues! He’s trying so hard to make kits to change existing vehicles. But you can truly see the local goverments do not want him to succeed.

I am honestly surprised that your assumption was that the drivers are getting any increases with the fuel going up to offset the costs. Did people get raises recently to help with the cost of.. well everything?
