13 year old small pickup with a 2L and 5-speed: best car I ever bought. No computers, can haul a half ton of stuff and only uses 7-8L/100KM when commuting.

If the energy source is coal
Comparing one fossil fuel to a worse one is not a valid argument. Electricity generation is being pushed towards nuclear and renewables for the foreseeable future.
You don’t have to know what the need is today. But knowing how ridiculously expensive it is to install later should be all the warning people need.
Humans don’t need any additional gasses to survive. The only reason we use methane is that it was once very cheap and we didn’t know how bad it was in the longterm. All of our other needs are met by electricity (energy), water, or a trip to a store, if for some reason the xXxBox9080 needs a compressed gas cylinder in 2030 you can go pick it up. Throwing resources in a literal hole in the ground today because we might find a use for it tomorrow is not good planning.
Also because we’re already stressing electric infrastructure with what we use now
This is propaganda.
On the hottest day last week Ontario hyrdo demand was ~24000MW, last night it went as low as 12000MW. There is room to almost double the baseload in Ontario, with actually smart appliances and controls (not SmartTM shit) a ton of fossil fuel heating loads could be replaced with electric without needing any grid level upgrades.
Methane has to be compressed for both transportation in pipes and storage in tanks, a very energy expensive process. Or it can be chilled down and condensed to a liquid for bulk transportation in ships, also a very energy expensive process. Every single joint and valve in the distribution network has the potential to leak, and many of them do, the same goes for storage tanks. Also pressure regulators (like the one on the side of your house) have to vent to bring down the pressure when the network house pressure is too high.
Natural gas distribution networks are extremely leaky.
Any time you say nuclear power most people think of Homer Simpson and Fukushima. Canada could be cranking out reactors and fuel for local and international use but it’s ‘too dangerous.’
Unless the round trip efficiency of synthesized methane (synthesis, transportation and re-capture) is better than solar/hydro/nuke electricity it doesn’t make sense build our own hydrocarbons. There are also the cumulative health effects of burning methane in your house and that it is serious greenhouse gas.
The boat salesman says you need a boat.
YOU pay for the infrastructure, YOU pay for the maintenance, YOU pay for the gas. Why would they stop now?
That’s what I get for using autocorrect.
There are NO parties in Canada that represent non-corporate interests.
When your government commits crimes against its country wholesale, there is nothing you can do that even compares. Abuse self-checkouts, cook your taxes, split your internet connection across 3 houses. You will never do a thousandth of the damage they do to you.
Betteridge’s law of headlines: No. No one wants to fight for a country that is actively fucking them. There was even some noise recently about how the Canadian Armed Forces doesn’t pay enough to cover the cost of living near base.
How about all those MPs who at the direction of a foreign entity increased the capacity of that foreign entity to harm Canada?
Betteridge’s law of headlines: No. Canada is not taking far-right extremism seriously.
Most people do not know how to find or use communication platforms that at not operated by “the wealthy.” The platforms they DO know are also geared to keeping users angry and scared to drive up engagement and keep people from leaving.
Short answer no, this country is run by banks, and oil. It will never do anything that is not in the interest of those two sectors.
Could take back the 18B of tax credits, interest free loans and grants given to the oil and gas sector last year?
We’re going to reform the voting process! Wait, we won? Never mind the process works great!
AI judges! As long as we are using “AI” to replace humans why not do it in a place where we are already short staffed?
Not to mention I think I could prompt my way out of at least a speeding ticket.
0-50f is cold enough to kill you by exposure, 75f is comfortable, 100f is uncomfortable, higher than 100f can kill you. Seems kinda arbitrary to me.
It’s almost like none of the parities in Canada actually represent the wants and needs of Canadians!
Derp, that IS right, will correct.
