  • It clearly exists to pressure BC for a pipeline. Which last I heard there was a blowhard south of us that wants to extort their monopoly they have on our exports.

    Energy exports are one of the most efficient industries in Canada, and per worker productivity is very high. We can't easily replace it.

  • Nobody can have a press conference ever is the expectation. It will just be people shouting incoherently and the politician has to stop and placate each one.

  • BC Premier Eby says changing Declaration on the Rights of Aboriginal Peoples Act is 'non-negotiable' and will be pushed into law

  • The decline is the fact we are being displaced due to the cost of living. Most people I think would agree it would be nice if we were a country mostly made up of native born citizens, in a country where citizens could lead normal lives and affrod to have children.

    But you're here calling the NDP racists against indigenous, so I don't know why I'm arguing. The witch hunters are so prominent now its impossible to discuss most political topics.

  • There's a reason there's still no foreign agent registry, if the Liberals benefit from interference then they love China.

  • I edited a lot as you replied so quick, but I would say demographic collapse due to an erosion in living standards. Nobody can afford kids, as Eby is trying to fix.

  • Whining? It was a bunch of charts.

    Regardless of ad hominem, what have you done?

    Eby knows he's being voted out the next election if he doesn't roll this back in some way, because average people who spend a million dollars on their home don't like losing the rights to it. They likely worked decades to acquire it, while people like you want to tell them how entitled they are for expecting to own it.

    Eby is also the best MP in Canada, and rezoned housing to actually help the poor, who now can't afford a home due to nearly a century of regressive zoning laws coupled with mass immigration into an existing shortage.

  • Total cost of power its very expensive. When you see how cheap solar is that's just the panels, you then have to deal with the intermittency, and the backup power generation for the periods where performance is degraded.

    I have a friend who is indigenous who is renting if you haven't yet.

  • Theres a thing called Plex and Emby and there are websites where people allow you to pay to access them, and they have every ounce of content you could want. They also work on a simple Android mini-pc or broken screened laptop.

    Unrelated to this, heres one such example of a github repository, showing how github looks like:

  • To steel man their argument, dont agriculture companies like Monsanto develop resistance and things that get around real problems?

    If they cant patent their seed then how would those solutions come into being. Surely life saving pharmaceuticals could be classified the same, or shelter, yet we still allow private ownership of those things.

  • Whats the lifetime of a nuclear plant in the first place, is it above proven current reserves?

    Maybe by the time we run out then something else will be the hot new thing. As far as why countries dont produce solar its because of environmental regulations making it too costly, which is why the large majority of required material is refined in China, so runs into the same problem as nuclear.

  • It could have something to do with this, which controls how fast the money supply increases, and how much your paychecks purchasing power needs to be debased via monetary inflation. If things get shittier and living standards fall it doesnt really take that into account and is considered out of scope.

    Is the CPI a cost of living index?

    The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is not equivalent to a cost-of-living index (COLI). The CPI has often been used to approximate cost-of-living but it is important to note that the CPI and COLI are not directly comparable.

    The CPI is based on a fixed basket of goods and services, which represents the average Canadian household's spending habits. The CPI measures the average change in retail prices encountered by all consumers in Canada. By contrast, the objective of a COLI is to measure price changes experienced by consumers in maintaining a constant standard of living. A COLI can be linked to the notion of the minimum amount of money that would be necessary in different periods of time to ensure a given level of "well-being".

    In short, the CPI measures the change in the cost of a fixed basket of goods and services, whereas a COLI measures the change in the cost of a fixed level of "well-being".

  • Solar relies on China who manufactures using coal, and puts us in the same predicament. It also requires storage, which also relies on China. Nuclear can be done domestically in many places, and nuclear waste is not actually waste, we can recycle that too theoretically.

    What we need is a ban on lobbying against nuclear, to decrease costs. France built them in the 70s and somehow despite technology increasing dramatically we now cant, its government created nonsense.

  • Theyre definitely influenced by the US, because now they require pipelines west to export globally. I assume that this is their grand plan, to tell BC if they want to export their own goods east and not be isolated themselves they need to do a quid pro quo.

    I've even heard the theory from places like Doomberg that this was all a plan by the US, to unstick Albertan oil to displace Russian oil globally. Because they'd already planned on cutting off all of Chinas access to energy.

  • Havent you heard, stealing the worlds gold during the Bretton Wood system and then forcing countries to adopt USD so that they can export their inflation makes them the good guys.

  • The rich hoarding wealth does directly increase money supply because they generally reinvest, which is excluded from the CPI, which decreases interest rates leading to further money supply growth. Their wealth isnt really real when viewed through the lens of monetary policy, its inflated based on past consumption and things like hedonic adjustments or substitutions.

    Money velocity increases more when the poor get the money, via things like Covid stimulus, which lead to the large inflation print. While the rich just put it into assets, driving up the stock market and real estate, which made them nominally wealthier.

    I think this is why QE hurts the poor and benefits the rich, their salaries are being debased to push up asset values, until someone with a propensity to consume receives that nominal windfall; whether its a home sale or an equity sale. I dont see how the rich is at fault for any of this however, and I think if they did give their money away then nominal asset values would fall and inflation would rise.

    What I'd perhaps like to see is instead of dropping interest rates taxes were tied to inflation, where they rise if deflation occurs. That I could perhaps see working, though its a working theory for me at the moment.
