And still no word on any plans to ensure houses are bought by people who don't already own a whole bunch of investment properties.

Until we address that issue, building more will continue to make the rich richer. But this is to be expected of the politicians whose lobbyists consist of real estate investors.

We need to prohibit the keeping of all cetaceans in general. Belugas, dolphins, orcas, etc.

By the time the "viable" option has a "track record" will be too late. We have to get off fossil fuels far sooner than that. But our Sask party government are the ones who aren't interested in pushing the timeline.

Then why not phrase it more like "SaskPower is currently performing an assessment on the suitability of the SMR, and will know more by xxxx"?

Though if they say No, what are we going to do? Continue to use our aging coal and natural gas infrastructure until the world burns? Oh wait... we're governed by the Sask party... That's exactly what will happen.

Ottawa is prepared to send us the money now but SaskPower won't even make a decision for 6 YEARS?! WTF SaskPower?! Why on Earth is it going to take you 6 years just to decide whether you want to or not? No wonder we can't be bothered to agree to Net Zero if it takes you 6 years for a yes or no question.

The problem is if it is too cold for too long, things break. When I've experienced long durations of extremely cold weather, things get bad.

Ice accumulates inside, vents freeze over, cars don't start, etc. It's not good.

I've not used it personally (I use Plex), but I have heard great things about Jellyfin. Does it maybe have the feature you need?

Ensuring they are affordable and not sold to someone who already owns property (likely turned into an AirBnB) is critical to getting them into the hands of people who NEED them.

As long as it's optional.

I am so sick of algorithmic crap it's not even funny. As long as I can turn it off, then by all means, develop away.

Welcome to the club. It's important to vote for the better option even if it feels like it makes no difference.

If everyone who thought it doesn't matter got out to vote, it WOULD change the outcome. Voter turnouts have been terrible.
