Pressure on Canada to Export Water Will Be Immense
  • Federal government needs to mandate Canadian water supplies are preserved for Canadians.

    Any province that doesn’t play along loses their federal transfer payments in 2-3x the amount of excess water exports they permit.

    I don’t have a problem selling excess we don’t need. Preferably above oil prices.

  • Ontario fast-tracks order to remove key Toronto bike lanes
  • Duggy panders to the low-brow uneducated vote. Closing bike lanes only has to do with sticking it to the bikers that the uneducated types hate flying past them while driving in gridlock.

    If bikers were to plan a bike protest blocking streets. I guarantee you’d see mandatory bike licensing within a year with unlicensed bikes being impounded, and the rednecks would vote for him again in a split second.

  • The MacBook Air gets a surprise upgrade to 16GB of RAM
  • Now work profits over time into that equation and you’re getting it.

    They make far more money selling entirely new computer hardware with integrated memory. They charge a fairly steep price for memory and I’m sure their fab costs are nowhere near that.

    Banging out a new CPU with different amounts of memory is relatively cheap, not like they’re redesigning from scratch to throw in a few more memory components. Memory is simple and predictable.

    If I was them I’d make a single chip with 32-64GB of RAM and just blow fuses to the necessary sizes to make it cheap, but although that makes sense for manufacturing it’s a PR issue down the road when someone finds out.

  • Should daylight saving time end? Ottawa expert shares health risks
  • It’s handy as a litmus test for those too delicate to survive.

    If a one hour change fractures your entire fragile life then I have nothing but contempt for you.

    I don’t really care about it other than for being useful to identify whiners.

    Oh my, the fragile came out in droves for this one. It’s awesome. Blocking every single one of you as useless to the modern world. 🤣

  • Trudeau hopes a 'silent majority' is still willing to listen
  • You can bet that when Kamala wins in the US the liberals will elect an indigenous female just because that’s what they do. As long as she’s competent no problem but if it’s a diversity hire, screw them.

    I’m centre in general and either slightly left or slightly right depending on the issue. Rampant political correctness and nanny government pisses me off something fierce though.

  • The MacBook Air gets a surprise upgrade to 16GB of RAM
  • These don’t use DDR5 memory. It’s all on the silicon with the CPU. The same pricing rules don’t apply.

    And Mac users tend to be less “price sensitive” than PC users. My M4 Mac mini will be here next week. 24GB should be just fine on it.

    Happily work is footing the entire bill for it, including a new monitor so it’s a pretty sweet upgrade for me.

  • No such thing as independents

    Just remember on election day, there’s no such thing as independents.

    They’re mostly former liberals that threw in the towel after years of being irrelevant due to the criminal mess they created. Then when confronted with that irrelevance, decided to tried and failed to join conservatives to save their own hides.

    Sellouts that can’t be trusted.
