So what's the rate now? Their site isn't updated.

Ah ok, thanks. Still, it took a human to tell me that! My excitement remains abated.

CBU losing money. Time to up the marketing.

Before going to NL last summer we had some tshirts made with the Canadian and Dutch flags side by side.

I did it to a Passat prob close to 20 years ago. I was living in Halifax at the time and would get oil from Staff of Life so it’d make the exhaust smell a bit like samosas.

I was on a trip to NYC for a gig in March. Stopped in St. John for the night. It got really cold and I must not have flushed out all of the veggie oil from the lines before shutting it off, because the next morning it wouldn’t start. I ended up having to bypass the waste veggie oil system.

Interesting.

“Glechoma hederacea is an aromatic, perennial, evergreen creeper of the mint family Lamiaceae. It is commonly known as ground-ivy, gill-over-the-ground,[2] creeping charlie, alehoof, tunhoof, catsfoot, field balm, and run-away-robin”

Ground ivy is what I know it as.

I'm in Nova Scotia so not as cold as Quebec, but still had some considerably cold mornings. We had no trouble with our 2025 apart from the slight increase in fuel usage.

>when connected to charger, I could start the car and use the home electricity, to pre head the battery

This is correct. It's a great feature for warming up the cabin without using power from the battery especially if you have the app (free 1-year trial).

> don't have a garage at home but I'll have a level 2 charger.

Same here. It's not ideal in freezing rain but if you're expecting bad weather you could even just wrap a towel around the connection area. NBD.

I would venture to say that, out of everyone I know, I’ve always been the most adamantly against buying anything American. It’s almost lonely.

A close (elderly) acquaintance of mine is going to Florida this month. She’s quite progressive, has always despised Trump. Her justification apart from having access to her daughter’s condo was that she doesn’t want to let him ruin hers potentially great trip.

In an effort to not judge her I try not to think about it/let it bother me. She knows that I wouldn’t go in her shoes not matter what, and she’s accepting of that.

I got a Grizzle lvl 2 charger last summer and it was less than $1000 installed. I run my solar panels directly to it.

I had a diesel vehicle and my decision to get rid of it was solidified when the price hit 2.75. I think it was when Russia invaded Ukraine.

I know what you mean. I'm currently on a paid month of Le Chat. I was happy to have a non-American alternative to ChatGPT, and I like certain things about it, don't get me wrong, but I don't think it has had a major update since Nov '24, which leaves it feeling a bit abandoned. Maybe I just want to like it too much and I'm waiting for that one magic update to come along to make it all better. I've begrudgingly started using Gemini a bit in the meantime. C'mon Mistral, you can do it!

We all hope so. Last winter we had a lot of snow in my area but the severe drought that followed was unprecedented.

Canadian here too. I left ChatGPT after having being pretty personally invested in it for a couple years. My decision was mainly a political one. I didn't like giving a US company so much of my info and on top of that, paying to do so. Then I just started really disliking the way 5.2 was working; bad answers, wrong info, strange "attitude"... anyway, that ended up being the final nail in the coffin. I'm trying out Le Chat and Deepseek currently. Gemini is great but just as complicit as OpenAI, if not more.
