When I was a teenager I worked in a grocery store, and every fall we brought in these overpriced, shellacked decorative gourds. A certain type of shopper would go bug-fuck crazy for these things and fill the cart with em. My manager:"It's not for you to understand, it makes us so much money."

The CPC transition is a direct analog to the trajectory of the Sask Party: two parties merge, but gradually the progressive half quietly slips away, leaving the most conservative rump. In SK, that still gets them elected; on the national stage, not so much.

Well, my previous post was timely, I guess. I love how all these announcements are totally mute on the cost of implementation *and* the price of the power produced. Why get bogged down on details? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This should be required viewing for our (SK's) provincial government which seems hell-bent on burning coal like a 19th Century British steel industry until we're all rescued by SMRs. Expect your electrical bill to skyrocket.

Here's a clear-eyed examination of SMRs from Matt Ferrell, who focuses on decarbonization efforts of all stripes. The tl;dr: there's no realistic promise SMR nuclear will be anything but expensive, and mass implementation is at *least* a decade away, probably two. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrNa...

I also voted NDP last election, based on the candidate, whom I preferred to the Liberal. I've lived most of my life in ridings that have elected (federally and provincially) a drunk, a dotard, criminals (3 convicted) and a child molester because they wore a blue suit.

As Carney takes the Liberals further to the right, there ought to be a void opening on their left flank, but I remain unconvinced that Avi Lewis is the best person to take full advantage of that.

There was a time he could strike a chord with a moderate chunk of Canadians, but he's spent so much time up his own ass he mistakes his farts for the direction the Public wind is blowing. Truly lost the plot. Part of me hopes he sticks around. Part of me thinks Canada needs a strong opposition.

The best part of this is that the venues that triggered Macklemore's departure now have no acts playing for events they've sold thousands of tickets for. Winning strategy, that.

Someone's a wee bit concerned her state's going to continue to be hammered by tariffs and Canadian boycotts, and that doesn't bode well for her in November. This is such a transparently selfish plea.

As much as Kennedy likes to adopt that chucklefuck persona, there's absolutely nothing wrong with his brain when he elects to apply it, like exposing Patel for the dimshit he is.

Our house had carpet in the master bedroom en suite when we bought it. 😬😬 Just the way the sequence of renos went, it ended up being the last piece of carpet to be torn out of the house. Not a moment to soon.
