If hes following the century initiative he will cap money supply growth at 3% or so, which will drastically bring down home prices.

Carney also praised Trump as a great leader, did the CBC miss that part?

"Thank you for your hospitality, and above all for your leadership. You're a transformational president focused on the economy, with a relentless focus on the American worker. Securing your borders, ending the scourge of fentinal and other opioids, and securing the world."

I do think they know each other prior and that seems quite obvious, and that getting Carney elected was a part of a larger plan to get a pipeline to the east coast to defund Russia; using the Alberta separatism crisis to do so. Trump plays an idiot, but even the level of the tariffs were concocted to push this crisis, which was the true reason for Daniel Smith to go to Maralago.

Could AI allow you to write code in python, and then turn the python into a static language with static variables at least?

Whats weird is how bad reddit works in a basic web browser, which is where the app started.

Solar and wind definitely are cheap, until you include billions in lithium batteries to support the grid during the periods of the worst case energy production. Energy grids arent easy to restart if they go offline, blackstarts can take days and cost billions of dollars and lives.

What makes nuclear so expensive is the environmental movement through litigation, funded by oil and gas, so it makes it prohibitively expensive. I wouldnt be surprised if wind and solar are funded by oil and gas, since its perpetual vaporware, and storing that much energy for a 100% uptime grid is a massive fire hazard. France was able to build 60GW of nuclear 60 years ago before we even had computers, but I guess technology regressed and suddenly its too expensive to build.

Look at Germany shutting down its nuclear power, they ended up spending half a trillion dollars to keep the lights on due to their idiotic ideals; which would have funded the next 50 years of nuclear power. China meanwhile just pumps them out, and will replace Germany in the future, when their energy allows the cheapest production of goods and AI.

Canada had the second last per capita GDP growth in the OECD next to Luxembourg since 2015. We also missed an opportunity to displace coal burning by neglecting our energy production, which is how the US emissions have been falling.

Solar and wind aren't cheap, and require storage to deal with their variability, as Spain recently found out. So the costs are severely understated. People aren't suggesting nuclear unfortunately when they talk about green energy, they're talking about importing cheap solar panels produced in China by burning lignite.

Start with housing. No foreign ownership, no corporate ownership.

Thundermail is coming soon. By Mozilla.

Wikimedia is even using php still. Firefox created Rust I believe, in order to advance.

Sorry, why are they greedy?

I think that's more fair, rather than nationalizing only one provinces exports. I'd like housing be blocked for foreign and corporate investment too, as a first step, nationalize it so it can only be owned by citizens who live here at least 6 months of the year.

This has a nice prediction on Canada 1/3 down the page, where they will use this crisis to push an energy corridor east.

Obviously a 25% tariff on steel and manufacturing in Canada is a death knell for the east, and only a 10% tariff on oil puts Alberta in a favorable position. Which pit provinces against one another, ensuring Carney would win, and would be favorable to push a pipeline for LNG. To ultimately defund Russia.

Carney is in a meeting right now and they are praising each other like crazy. Its quite absurd actually given how Trudeau was treated.
