Your parents are also able to contact the school directly if they really needed to get a hold of you, the reverse is often true as well.

To be fair, I’ve met some absent parents that genuinely don’t care if they see their kids again, and unfortnately it is possible for someone like that to be capable of being an astronaut.

service ontario should be an essential service and not seen as a profitable business.

Does the province have staff and a plan to check on the stores? Will there be government employess sent to test the stores alcohol sales hours? Will we be ensuring underage sales are not occuring? Do law enforcement agencies have a plan to measure the impact this may have on impaired driving?

Do we not remember when futurama tried this and accidently lasered a convention?

On a more serious note, how is it fair if say a neighbouring business orders this service and now what, your whole neighbourhood just doesn’t get night time anymore? The local climate just gets a few degrees hotter, no biggie?

Tacklkng the affordability and climate crisis by making cheap EVs more expensive to import

They also claim that all sour diesel strains are top shelf without considering the quality of the growing process at all.

Release an “update” with a “bug” that can only be fixxed with a raise.

I’m not sure you age but from what I understand, many people between 20-40 have been having issues finding genuine relationships and “situationships” are on the rise. I know several people that claim to be happy having 2-3 half commited partners (whom often also have other partners), but i don’t believe they are that happy, especially compared to a genuine relationship.

As others had said try to just stick to your own personallity and focus on your own happiness, changing yourself or your standards just to get laid often doesn’t work. When i was going through a phase of depression i started seeing a partner whom couldn’t commit to me the way i desired, but i stuck around anyway because it was a nice distraction from my life. A few months later we called it offand there was a fair amount of emotional pain. The relationship was kinda of toxic as well and I’ll probably carry scars from it into my next one. Even just the memories, good or bad, are constant distraction some times. My overall point is don’t commit to it if its not what you genuinely want, good relationships have been on the decline for a while so its not always your fault if you can’t establish one.

I agree with your points here but i think access to social media is exposing youth to that standard and the aceess to the products at an earlier age. This effect could also bleed into men in the sense of their standards for beauty become more unrealslistic as the top models are all they want on their screens.

With a disarmed police force, who responds to weapons compliants and violent crimes?

Ive watched a few videos of trucks transporting the blades. Really helped me understand the scale of them.

Im all for trains, but i don’t see a train stopping to drop off 3 parcels. Unfortunately we atill need road based deliveries unless we want to completely rethink our economy. There is also the factor that quality of life was a lot lower in most rural areas before these services

I don’t think it would be detrimental, but try convincing the business owners that, try convincing the parts delivery owners that, try convincing the guy waiting on his furnace parts that 3 weeks an acceptable wait time, have fun firing the delivery driver.

We need a slower solution to transition. Get all those suburban commuters into an EV and let delivery vehicles use gas while we get better battery technology or heavily invest into rail again.

Canada used to harvest ice blocks from the lakes and ship them to tropical climates for ice boxs and whiskey on the rocks. People died on the ice, on the boats and everywhere in between. We have always been a ridiculous society that throws away a lot to cater to a few.

And it is the job of our politicians and leaders to create policies, rules and innovations to allow canadians to make better choices without them being fully educated on those choices, without making financial sacarafices in the short term, or without significant quality of life changes.

It is hard for climate change denier to use electricifed transit over their car if the transit takes 3x as long, however they are far more likely to use that transit if it is both free and faster than commuting by car. Those are the kinds of feedbacks we need, where people can make the green decision but still personally benefit by saving time, money, or convenience.

I also thought smoke stacks from factories looked cool as kid, not that i didagree with your point here.

There are regional parts suppliers that have daily/weekly routes that are several hundred kms long. They provide stuff from auto parts, plumbing fittings, and everything in between, often allowing local businesses to get parts quickly without needing to invest in massive warehouses to store larger deliveries or pay extreme delivery fees. These delivery services can be essential to small towns or rural living.

I agree with your points about ridiculous commutes and such, and large cities should defintely be investing in transit and density. Car centric planning is bleeding our cities and our cities are where we should focus improvement.

This is a huge factor. It isn’t just the initial costs. A smaller EV is lighter, a simple EV is lighter, this lets it use less energy overall which ultimately means you pay less in electricity.

Smaller vehicles tend to have smaller tires, which are cheaper. Cheaper vehicles are also cheaper to insure than more expensive ones.

All these factors combined can easily be the difference between affording a new EV or having to stick in the used ICE market.

So what is stopping canada from subsidizing our own cheap EVs?

Yet we call ourselves a g7 nation
