  • Straight out of an FPS. But I can see the appeal, if your assumption of flourish is founded.

  • I felt that way too. It would be optimal. A Canadian mixed-market opportunity, of free markets where it can and socialized industry where it must. We could start this path any time we wanted. Crown Corporations and investment are a matter of will, not finance.

    The real problem that I see are the geopolitics of power. The world's re-armament is a gross malallocation of unsustainable resources at the worst possible time. But being ruled by the worst of humanity isn't doing anyone any favours either, so here we are.

  • Almost everything needed exists. Does everyone have one?

  • Perhaps an herbal tisane?

  • Where is the NYT economists telling us what a great idea this is?

  • Unconventional, but not unheard of. Take detailed notes in a journal and report back the effects.

    Everybody's brain is different, you may find this med unfit for your condition and supplement with another or switch entirely. You have to be patient.

  • All interesting points, yet if you turned off fossil fuels tomorrow Quebec would be crushed economically. You can't do it yet we can't do it yet. If you tried with an autocratic wave of a gun you would also be killing millions.

    Your ambulances, firetrucks, restaurants and farms etc, all use it despite having a superabundance of alternative energy. The rest of the world have a much less opportunity to switch.

    Until we do make the switch, without killing millions upon millions, it's a neccessary evil. We must end it. Until we do, it has to come from somewhere.

    I was a big fan of the carbon tax. It was a politically expedient, but ultimate mistake to remove it that shows a lack of leadership and quite frankly, shows how stupid your average Canadian is. It's going to set our transition back a decade.

    Europe couldn't do without even in a proxy war over Ukraine, they were buying it from Russia! That should help you understand how not ready we are.

  • If we degrow, we only have to retrofit a small part of the planet, consuming far less in the process and begining to rewild large parts of the earth.

  • That's barely an opinion let alone an argument. Saying "na anh!" isn't the discussion you think it is.

    and no amount of facts will make you let go of it.

    Try one. You might like it

  • There is nothing to negotiate. No courts, no law, no checks and balances. Doing any business with the US is just pissing away investor dollars.

    It will likely get worse before it gets better, so let's disentangle now.

  • There is little to concede, we want to de-integrate as NAFTA was clearly a mistake. Let's do what needs to be done.

  • Sorry, wasn't meant as judgemental. Just honest advice. Everyone has good days and bad, and varying sensitivity to various substances, like you said. Titration needs to evaluate the average response over a sufficient period of time to know what is right.

    It sounds like self-medicating, going up or down based on the day. Talk to your physician about this. My understanding is it hurts the in-vivo experiment that is titration.

  • 50/50 chance that's been in someone's butt.

    You could charge so much more if it were the right 50.

  • May I recommend decaf?

  • Good for you. Provincially no one is ready for the post fossil fuel world.

  • Sensitivity to caffeine may not correlate to other stimulants. They are totally different metabolic pathways.

    Also that dose is very small. Your titration phase will help determine what is appropriate.

    Mostly your fuzzy, felt like taking more, is probably a bad idea. A steady dose taken at the same time daily will be more helpful in determining the correct dosage. You shouldn't be playing with it like a toy.

  • Ha! I got my car clipped like that. It's an old car, so I just duck taped it back on. Lol. I'm not paying, claiming, or making someone else pay that kinda money for something so stupid.

  • Yes. Everyone must decarbonize asap, Alberta included. However, as I mentioned this is not easy, nor are we close to doing it. I provided a link for quebec's fossil fuel consumption and even they are no where near ending fossil fuels. If they haven't yet, how can anyone else. It takes time. Yes we must move at all haste.

    My concern, is that as a general rule politicians are great at pointing fingers as a useless misdirection. A city councillor taking a strong stance on federal gun control is a great way to appear to be doing something, while really just doing nothing. Feds and provinces bark at each other all the time rather than doing the right thing in their jurisdiction.

    This is much the same. I want Alberta to shut down the fossil fuel economy, but I'm not Albertan and resources are provincial. I'm in Ontario and I want us to shut down gas power plants, home furnaces and cars and keep our industrial heartlands with cool clean electricity. That is where my fight is.

    Worry about shutting down the Alberta fossil fuel economy when my province doesn't depend on it.

    We are in a national housing crisis, and we aren't building homes/neighbourhoods/cities ready for the fossil fuel free future. Our economies can't do it, because we aren't ready.

  • Fully agree across the board. (Except the partially wrong bit, heh.)
