I wonder if he'll say how unethical that would be, unlike when Harper did it (when he was an MP).
Also, he wrote an essay about the importance of personal freedom, and advocated for two term limits for members of Parliament (as well as pledging to only serve two terms if he was ever elected). So why are trans people not allowed to have personal freedom, and how many terms has he served?
Pic looks good. Probably the best option is to trim that cord a little past that break, remove the broken section, and insert the trimmed cord and reattach it to the trimmer. This will probably require soldering, and will definitely require opening the case. A picture of the trimmer with any visible screws shown will help to determine how feasible this is. You will require some solder, a soldering iron, and some flux. If you haven't done soldering before, this could be the most forgiving project to learn it on. Electrical soldering is pretty easy, electronics are fairly precise.
That's also very interesting. Funny how things have only gotten a little worse for the lowest quintile (which surprised me), somewhat more worse for the next 3 quintiles, and yet somehow the top quintile did markedly better. So clearly, businesses (especially big businesses) are struggling. /s
I absolutely agree. Making life uncomfortable for people as we move away from fossil fuels is one thing, completely disrupting their lives or crippling them financially is another. This all would have been easier if America and elsewhere had seriously started transitioning 50 years ago, but that isn't an option now.
They have both options in Canada, it's basically lease vs. loan. They really push the lease option these days, though.
While this is true, it is also true that fines that are small relative to your wealth essentially mean those activities come with a convenience fee for the wealthy. Having fines that scale with income or similar maintains the severity of the infraction for people of all incomes.
I thought the 5-year performance was rather interesting. Despite the relatively poor performance in the last year, our overall performance compared to prior to COVID was quite good. Were the economists right, and spending during the pandemic helped Canada?
There have never been lung issues caused by inhaling very small dust particles, right?
There are strong indications that natural gas isn't better than coal, particularly with respect to climate change. Methane, which is the primary component of natural gas, is 10 times more effective as a greenhouse gas than CO2 is. So it's better if we burn it, right? Well, not necessarily. There are a lot of leaks with natural gas distribution, and we have only recently started tracking them. Research papers about the amount of methane released through leaks, and satellites to accurately detect methane leaks from space really only started coming out this year, but the results don't look good.
The short answer is, if you believe in climate change, then there are no fossil fuels we can afford to keep using. Transitioning away from all of them as fast as possible is the only sensible approach.
