After VW was caught spoofing their GDI engine emissions, we should have collectively stopped allowing anyone who makes a dime from the automotive industry be within 10 miles of emissions tests... never mind let them do their own fucking tests.

Automotive execs deserve the Nuremburg treatment for all the damage they've caused.

Look up how they fought and lied to keep lead in gasoline despite the severe public health risk. Absolute cretins.

Edmonton yea. Calgary is right in line with what I'm talking about tho. Winnipeg is even further south. Honestly would have been more appropriate as a separate comment than a disagreement with mine IMO.

Yay? Now can we stop selling those pieces of shit weapons to commit war crimes with?

some have interpreted that to mean cats see us as really strange kittens,

Not just the meowing. Bringing dead animals is also thought to be related to maternal instinct or some other social behaviour.

I do agree though that people are running with this stuff further than the science has verified.

Bruh you asked me if I'd read the definition of treason under my own comment copy and pasting the defintion of treason.

Like if you wanted to dispute allegations of treason you shouldn't have lead with a washed up reddit dunk.

ty. I was unaware of his political career prior to his presidency.

What did Nixon do? (That pertains to this lmao)

Yes but not where OP is inquiring. I'm comparing day lengths 200km +/- the 49th parallel. Which is relevant to cooling your house down at night using the ambient temperature.

It can be the difference between 1 or 4 hours of below 20C temps at night. Which is huge if you're trying to use less AC.

Specifically to answer your AC question: There's no general law. There are local regulations that require some level of heating/temperature control. But for the most part new buildings have AC while older one's you may need to install a window unit yourself.

Being further north means that days are shorter so you have more opportunity to use night time lows to cool the house down. Houses are generally built to be more heat efficient in Canada. Roofs are more insulated and windows block UV light. All good for keeping the heat out during the day until you can open the windows at night.

Well first off the hottest area in Western Canada is the interior of BC, so between Vancouver & Calgary. The area is very mountainous so weather varies greatly across the region. Lows tend to be colder than on the coast. More snow due to higher elevation. Snow tends to melt between snowfalls. Daytime temps during winter can peak over 0 and drop back down to -10 to -15 at night. Summer highs are mid 35s.

Vancouver: Lots of rain. Less snow due to elevation and often melts or doesn't stick. Typically overcast. Winter lows average above -10.

Calgary / Winnipeg: Colder winters with snow that tends to stay frozen. Winter lows can be much colder, and highs below 0. Summertime is mild compared to hotter areas.

I've only visited the other cities briefly so I can't really speak to their averages. I've seen it pour rain at 30C+ in Ontario. It's much more humid than BC's interior. But the province is also massive so weather will vary.

If you want to argue that I'm calling fraud laundering than fine youre correct. But I think you're confusing the cup and ball game I'm describing for a washing machine.

With trump, you pay him 100k dirty money, he gives you back 120k in clean money, and is happy because you said he was the best.

No you build him 100k of work which he doesn't pay you for. You pay your (illegal) workers dirty cash under the table. Insurance company pays you the 60% of the contract value.

It's a quid quo pro.

So many people call out Trump to his face on their shows.

It's been verified that in the past he had people collecting all print media about him for his review. I imagine some poor intern has to compile and present these clips to him daily. (I kind of want that job?)
