Disinformation is the biggest challenge we face. Don't trust politicians who want to weaken our information infrastructure.

My heat pump equipment is 2 years old now. I'm in Ottawa, Canada, and have had no issues for either heating or cooling. My utility bills are lower now than when I was using natural gas equipment (by about $1K/year). The federal gov't provided a rebate and loan, making it even more attractive.

New Pipeline? Oil Sands Companies Should Worry About Surviving Past 2030
Rich Collett-White discusses his team's @CarbonBubble oil demand modelling.
If @IEA APS scenario is the future (which I htink is most likely), Alberta is in deep, deep trouble.

Question for wait staff (if any see this)
How much of the tip % do you get?
The minimum now is 18% on the cc machine.
How much of that ends up in the server's pocket?
I assume kitchen staff etc take a cut.

I am hoping Max is right on this and I believe he probably is.
Once again, folks: any deal between Alberta and Ottawa that requires a) BC's approval, and b) significant support from coastal First Nations is a deal for a pipeline that will never happen.

Spa could take 9 years.
Of course, it may never get built
5 years after signing the contract, Therme still does not have an investor to build the spa at Ontario Place
Not surprising, they lied about their financing to get the 95 year-lease on our parkland.
