Canada's housing affordability crisis may persist for years despite rate cuts
  • Of course it will. The low rates are only in some ways part of what caused the problem.

    The problem on a whole is going to continue until either municipalities start to allow higher density construction or the provinces step in and force municipalities to stop putting up red tape.

  • California governor signs law banning all plastic shopping bags at grocery stores
  • I've never viewed getting rid of plastic bags as a carbon saving measure. To me it's addressing how bad they are when they get into the environment. As much as these bags can be reused, most aren't and they just end up thrown out.

  • Bloc Québécois won’t support Pierre Poilievre’s non-confidence motion
  • Any one who assumes that another party is going to blanket support a non-confidence vote doesn't understand how minority governments work.

    These are times when other parties have the leverage to influence what bills are being passed.

    If things got bad enough that no other parties agreed with direction then ya we would be heading to vote, but realistically things aren't that bad right now, they could always be better, but it's not bad enough to just throw away leverage.

  • Mozilla leadership.
  • What a terrible graph. Market share as a percent on one side being compared to absolutely numbers on the other.

    The author could draw any conclusions they wanted by just scaling the axis differently.

  • Bank Street Tenants Confront Smart Living Properties to say No to Mass Eviction
  • The article doesn't really go into details of what the developer has planned.

    I have to assume they are looking to demolish the block and build something higher than 3 floors with a bunch more units?

    It's unfortunate if the developer isn't offering any options for tenants to move back into the new building.

    This doesn't feel like a renoviction though.

  • Air Canada prepares to shut down as talks with pilots union near deadlock
  • That's not a reasonable assumption at all. Everything costs more today than it did 2 years ago, so it's very likely their expenses are higher than it was before.

    It's also possible that their profits are way up, but the data you showed doesn't prove that at all.

  • US grid adds batteries at 10x the rate of natural gas in first half of 2024
  • What? You're the one claiming that various metals aren't infinitely recyclable.

    It's true that not all metals are, but many of them are (iron, aluminum, lithium to name a few) infinitely recyclable.

    Current recycling technology doesn't really matter as it can and will improve with time as the brand new industry scales up.

    I'm just here pointing out that your statements are false. That doesn't need to be meaningful to you if you have no interest in learning, but it's useful for other people who are reading this thread wondering why you're being downvoted.

  • US grid adds batteries at 10x the rate of natural gas in first half of 2024
  • Funny because I never said gas was recyclable. You should learn to read before you try to make snide comments.

    I can't get over this. We're talking about energy and hydrocarbons, and you bring up that said hydrocarbon is recyclable. I assume that you're talking about the use of said hydrocarbon in the energy sense (which means burning it to make energy) because given the context that's what makes sense.

    Instead you were talking about a completely different and irrelevant use of the hydrocarbon and then think that's it's my fault for not following your nonsensical argument.

  • US grid adds batteries at 10x the rate of natural gas in first half of 2024
  • Like I thought, you're misunderstanding what you're reading.

    Yes current recycling processes can lose 4% of the material. But that's not because they aren't recoverable, that's because it's not currently financially feasible to recover it all.

    And that's just the recycling part. For someone suggesting that I should read better you sure aren't great at reading either. So I'll ask it again.

    What part of the metal atoms degrade as part of them being used in batteries?

  • US grid adds batteries at 10x the rate of natural gas in first half of 2024
  • Yes. Things can be infinitely recyclable. But since you're such an expert. Tell me, what part of a lithium atom degrades during its life as a battery? I'm not expecting a good answer from you though since you think that burning a compound (to release the energy in its bonds) is then recyclable.

  • Every American's Social Security number, address may have been stolen in hack
  • Isn't it the address being leaked with it that makes this notable?

    You can't add a number to a SSN and also add a number to the street address to then narrow down which full names are associated with that SSN to then possibly be able to use it.

    I didn't think the number had any use on its own

  • The current carbon tax debate is important-it's just not serious

    The arguments being made by opponents only make sense if you ignore some awkward facts

    Household impact of Canada axing the carbon tax

    If Canada axed its carbon tax– and rebates- this is how different households would gain or lose.

    High-income households would tend to be the biggest winners, lower-income households hurt the most
