I love the aesthetics too, but it’s getting frustrating that we only get them in exchange for the immeasurable environmental cost of wasted resources and energy consumption, not to mention the upfront cost of replacing perfectly good devices far before we need to.
But also it still looks cool.
comment in response to
post
Caleb. Many of us have perfectly good devices that are becoming forced into obsolescence by the computing requirements of theses cool little user interfaces.
Perhaps they could offer a choice between
- “cool and ground breaking “
Or
-“absolutely works fine the same way it did last year”.

Now. Have a lovely day, I’m sure nobody read a single one of our replies so I doubt anyone will miss your reply after I mute this entirely pointless discourse.

Kevin. If you believe I thought you were an actual raccoon you’re about as smart as the person who keeps reposting countless links to articles trying to endlessly argue some point that is irrelevant to the one I’m discussing.
comment in response to
post
The “labour force” you’re casually referring to is actually individual people who have built their careers in a global industry that will exist long after they retire.
I agree we need to build green industries for our future, but we have a duty to actuality build it before destroying livelihoods.
comment in response to
post
Kevin you’re a pretty smart guy for a raccoon, but this discussion is going nowhere.
Talk of industry transition is useless without a viable alternative to transition to, and talk about ending a vibrant successful industry is a great way to alienate fellow Canadians who already don’t agree with you
comment in response to

You keep quoting the 1.5 million new clean energy jobs, but that’s world wide for a growing industry. O&G also continued to grow during the same period, and you can’t expect our
Government to ignore growth in an industry we’re already heavily invested in with both infrastructure and labour force.
comment in response to
post
We absolutely should invest in renewables and as a nation we are. Where did you read that we aren’t.
comment in response to
post
We are both commenting a post about a meeting between the federal and provincial leaders about the national economy.
Nothing you have said explains how they can grow the economy together for all Canadians, but your ad hominem Insults are an interesting way to get me and others to listen.

You can’t force change. Horses became obsolete when cars became naturally preferable.
Most nyc brownstones have front doors 6feet above the street because that’s how deep the piles of horse shit occasionally were, and it still wasn’t enough to make people switch until cars became cheap and easy.
comment in response to
post
I get that. But the country elected the “economy guy” over the “axe the tax” guy after we tried and discarded the “environment first&foremost guy”
The post was about the pm and premiers.
We don’t elect people to fix the global environment, we elect people to run our country and provinces.

So, to summarize.
An important, exciting, emergent energy industry at the height of its growth added about 2 ½ as many jobs as an established energy industry that also grew.
Why not focusing on growing the good new stuff before we tear down establish industries.
comment in response to
post
That’s a great analogy, because there was never a successful public or political campaign to eliminate horses and replace them with cars, nor was it ever the goal.
Cars just became so popular and user friendly that the alternative (horses) became impractical to the point of mere novelty.
comment in response to
post
…an article from an environmental think tank, not peer reviewed research.
It’s aspirational at best and nowhere does it say that all that theoretical green industry growth requires the other industry to be destroyed first for it to be successful.
Stop asking others to sacrifice for your dream.
comment in response to
post
…and ultimately.
We’ll never grow a nation without compromise.
Please remember that next time you go to the polls and you find that the best candidate still isn’t good enough for your aspirational perfectionist politics.

Oil and gas provides jobs that feed those kids and grandchildren.
But apparently they aren’t your kids and grandchildren so I guess those kids can go Fuck themselves.
…cease all domestic o&g tomorrow, we’ll use exactly as much plastic, gasoline, natural gas and propane, it’ll just be imported.
comment in response to
post
Kevin we don’t grow a nation by removing 26% of one province’s gdp either.
Even if it’s just a province that you don’t like, or people you disagree with who’s jobs you want to eliminate.
comment in response to
post
Ok but how about $336billion-$88billion.
The world uses oil and gas, and they aren’t stopping tomorrow.
defaulting on existing contracts and plunging an industry’s worth of workers into unemployment isn’t how we grow a nation.

How does removing ourselves from the global energy economy stop forest fires in western Canada?

It’s almost like this has nothing to do with protecting kids and everything to do with punishing women who don’t adhere to their idealized standards for how women should look.

If you want more garbage posts you share garbage posts.
Stop it. Jr is having his best day in months over all this attention.
Also, and more importantly no humans are “garbage” that’s their narrative, once you concede that point, you have lost that argument entirely.
comment in response to
post
No. If you make as big a deal every time a petulant child does something bad as you do when they succeed they treat all attention as praise.
Jr is absolutely reveling in the attention he’s been gifted over this enormously successful post.
Keep it up, I’m sure he’s got plenty more

No. They shouldn’t.
News outlets need to stop covering every steamy shit that these people decide is worthy of smearing around in public. It only encourages them.

I think you could definitely say everyone had a teacher like this in the 80s, but to say 50%
Of teachers were this way is hyperbolic and disingenuous.

We have no Lowes in western Canada, but every Home Depot I’ve ever set foot in has the most diverse, inclusive, and helpful staff of any retail business I deal with.
Perhaps Home Depot in Canada has vastly different policies.

Perfect. Make more art less accessible to more audiences. Propaganda works better when there are fewer alternatives.

Sure, fine, but the result is more comparable with an 80s shopping mall hotel in the mid 90s.

…and though I appreciate “sweet summer child” I’m old enough to have been a homeowner for over a decade when this sack of self service first ran for city council in my local riding.
comment in response to
post
Diotte did little for his community the last time he was in federal office and is now days from eligibility on his federal pension.
He has ran for city council in the past & the current mayor is retiring this fall. (after diotte is eligible for pension)
…I doubt there was much arm twisting.
comment in response to
post
Blake is a constant figure in that community.
Diotte lives elsewhere and needs a few more days of “public service” to be eligible for a full pension.
Zero chance he resigns before that date.
Also Fuck that guy.
comment in response to
post
He needs a few more days for his pension to kick in. Make sure you factor that in to his “generous sacrifice”
comment in response to
post
Diotte isn’t being “manipulated”
He’s a month away from receiving a full pension, and was likely planning to bail out to try running for city council in the fall anyway.
comment in response to
post
He’s a slimy guy. They’re getting their money’s worth.
(He’s less than one month of “public service” away from a lifetime pension)
comment in response to
post
Blake is hands on with this community but the boundaries were recently redrawn to include less of the inner city that was a beneficiary of his community service.
But given the mediocre turnout for diotte compared to conservatives in other ridings, I doubt they’ll risk running him
Here.
comment in response to
post
Diotte has no interest in public service unless it serves him.
…But He’s about a month short of receiving a full pension and an election would take about a month so I assume that’s all the information you need.
comment in response to
post
This would be a fun turn but it’ll never happen.
But don’t doubt for a second that a self serving bag of dog waste like him would “offer up” his seat to the dear leader because:
-makes him
Look like a team player
-likely running for city council in the fall (he’s days shy of a federal pension)
