COPE 27 posted:I live in a commuter town in Quebec, but at least I can walk to multiple deps in under 5 minutes, a main street with 2 dozen business in 15 minutes, or a grocery store in 15 minutes. That sounds great. I live in a commuter town in the GTA and I’m a 30 minute walk from the nearest grocery store.

Heat pumps are being installed in tandem with gas forced air furnaces, hot water hydronic systems (also gas) or electric heat in cold climates because they can’t do all of the work themselves and need a bit of help. You could in theory use an air-source heat pump somewhere very cold, but your house would need to be extremely well insulated. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6824634

“parking fees are good, actually”, I say as I bankrupt myself visiting my sick child in the ICU E: sorry forgot this wasn’t CSPAM but my point still stands. They should validate parking if you are visiting a hospital for legitimate reasons rather than allowing Precise Parklink to make millions off of misery.

ZShakespeare posted:The one time I got a parking ticket at the hospital, I called the company to explain that I was in extreme pain and needed to go to the ER, and they waived the fee. But yes, it is not inconceivable that there could be some mechanism to determine legitimate parking from illegitimate.  That was nice of them, I’m glad they were sympathetic. Ideally you wouldn’t have to appeal to human sensibilities to get equitable access to healthcare is I guess what I’m saying. Unfortunately I speak from experience when I say it gets pretty expensive.

ZShakespeare posted:What really gets my goat is when they build these really dense urban developments (I’m looking at you river district), don’t make enough parking and don’t make any transit going to them. I am spoiled for options but none of them are good. That seems to be a popular strategy in Southern Ontario right now (building housing and worrying about transit later, possibly never). There are a few condo towers going up near my place right now and there are no plans to increase transit service, despite trains being over capacity. Our trains run ~80km/h with many passengers standing, despite them being designed for sitting room only. The plan is just to develop land, not provide services.

You’re at a wedding. The seating arrangements are posted near the entrance to the hall. You squint. You find your name, slightly misspelled, next to the number 12. A hostess hands you a fluted glass. Your bring it your lips and instantly recognize the smell of Wayne Gretzky Estates Brut. The bubbles tease your upper lip as you take a sip. You wend your way through the guests in suits and dresses having polite conversation. You spy your table. “Do you know the groom?” The voice seems familiar: a frog from your childhood? You turn to hear who said it and find four sets of eyes staring at you.Wistful of Dollars posted:I'm pretty sure this is what hell looks like a primate fucked around with this message at 15:10 on Jan 27, 2024 |

I expect the Tories to do Tory poo poo like ban trans people from going pee in a pee place. What I didn’t expect was Tories asking their high-T alpha male base to put their IDs in to look at vagine. Very happy they’re so stupid. I just hope he keeps face planting so we can skip having Jorp’s nerdling cousin as PM.Less Fat Luke posted:It is wild that people care more about his dumb porn bullshit than “trans people can’t use our bathrooms”.

PT6A posted:Honest question: pharmacare is obviously a huge issue, but if they wanted broad appeal, why didn't they go for vision care? Many more people need it, and it probably costs less per person. Cynically, that's the way to go, no questions asked. Because it’s much less of a financial burden and isn’t an immediate necessity of life in the same way most medications are. More importantly I don’t think people would really care, particularly not people without glasses.

You can get glasses at Zenni optical for like $50 that will last you years (yes I’m cheap). Meanwhile $50 doesn’t even cover three months of one of the prescription drugs I’m on. It’s not even close.

It seems like Jagmeet is planning on using the carbon tax as a wedge issue against the Liberals. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeau-singh-carbon-tax-hedge-support-1.7171986 quote:"It can't be done by letting working families bear the cost of climate change while big polluters make bigger and bigger profits," said Singh. "We all lose if we make Canadians choose between an affordable life and fighting the climate crisis." Seems like nothing substantive if they’re not going to change the consumer tax. I think the NDP are releasing their climate plan, so more detail may be forthcoming.

I’m picturing our various political parties debating trans bathroom stuff and how its inhumane not to allow people to own multiple houses as our quality of life continues to nosedive. Already thinking of what protest vote to write in my Tory rear end riding.

Kraftwerk posted:I think the problem with governments putting a price on externalities is that there’s no way to materially protect working class people. Higher energy costs have knock-on effects that make everything else horribly expensive and corporations are quick to pass the costs onto the customer with a 25-50% margin tacked on top so they make money off our misery no matter what. I completely agree. Personally, I’m priced out of the EV segment, so I bought an economical gas car I could afford and take the train to work. Even if I had the money for an EV, I would probably buy a hybrid at best because my condo has outdoor parking with no charging. Investing in public transit based on corporate and income taxes would be a more equitable and effective means. Right now, the tax incentives and.spending the government has done on EV charging only benefits the rich since the cost of entry is prohibitive for most people.
