Yea, I believe A&W Canada is an entierly seperate company, and Canadian owned

Came here to say the same as Charles, would love to self select for a long form… which means that people like you and I would be over-represented!

Quite a pickle.

yea, that’s the basic short form census, same i got.

I used to be a census take for the government in my teens, and helped people do the long form. The questions you are asking for are all there, while the short form is much more of a basic population count.

generating up to 100 megawatts of power heat.

quite possibly,

My EV came with a heatpump for heating and cooling, so i wonder how that will change things.

I definitely think if they were cost comprable, and they are headed in that direction, they will be the preferred option, but i agree that its happening a lot slower than I expected.

Thanks for the links!

My new EV has 520km range, which is higher than my ICE car had, so i think that the whole ‘EV’s have lesser range’ is just innacurate now.

Just bought my first EV, it was a bit steeper, but i expect to save $40,000 in maintenance and gas over the same 12 years i owned my previous car.

Cant imagine ever going back to ICE.

I’m curious where you are getting the sales drop, i see an increase: https://electricautonomy.ca/data-trackers/ev-sales-data/2026-03-13/zev-sales-in-canada-rise-to-11-2-per-cent-market-share-in-q4-2025-statscan/

New ZEV registrations across Canada hit 11.2 per cent market share in Q4 2025, according to the latest data from Statistics Canada.

While that is an increase over the 9.7 per cent market share of ZEVs from Q3 2025, it represents a drop in overall volume.

If i had to guess why, its due to the incentives starting to wind down (such as BC droping its sales tax rebate), the cost offset is reducing.

Really glad to see it. The fact that the war in Ukraine is still ongoing is an for the world embarrassment, and Canada needs to stand proud, and help.

ya, a ‘duel fuel’ system, got a quote to replace my aging furnace, but couldnt make it work at the time. still high on my list to do.

Honestly, I assume they all did…

But that doesn’t mean that I think they were meaningful crimes, much more likely boosting littering to a lifetime in jail

Yea, that would be ideal

Just seems that they often don’t declare their country of origin, instead saying they were imported by.

i swear by my Ego outdoor tools, and if i lived somwhere which had some (but not a ton) of snow, i’d get this https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/ego-power-56v-cordless-dedicated-snow-shovel-12-in-0600676p.html

Rails, pipelines, power lines, dams

I’m definitely always encouraging my family to eat more plant protein.

My wife is more of a carnivor than I am

Happy new year

I get gigabit, and that tests out to 700MBPS… and i can never saturate it. Not sure why i would need a bigger pipe for a long time.

I want to hate air Canada here, but I struggle to believe that a one day delay caused $2k of hardship, without being told something like “and her wedding was later the same day”

Just sent this to my MP:

Dear Patrick Weiler

I am writing to you today to stress my significant frustration regarding Bill C-15.

As an able-bodied Canadian, I find it deeply troubling that this legislation is effectively stripping Canadian organizations and individuals of the ability to send and receive essential materials, such as books, letters, used by people who are blind, without incurring postage costs.

We are judged by how we treat the worst off, not the best, and the impossibly minor savings this will grant are not worth how it will impact the differently abled. I’ve never used, know anyone who has used, or expect to use this saving, but to people that need it its a lifeline.

The long-standing policy of allowing these items to be mailed postage-free is crucial for accessibility and participation in society for the blind community. I urge you to reconsider the implications of Bill C-15 and support policies that maintain or enhance this vital service.

Thank you for considering my concerns regarding this important issue.
