Nah, the real Arrow EV that should revolutionize the industry is this one: https://urbanarrow.com/en-na/

Yes, it always has been propaganda. Central and South America has suffered at the hands of American exceptionalism and propaganda for generations. The difference is that now the gaze of imperialism is pointing inwards and to the north as well, which is unusual.

I don't disagree that it makes people lose trust, I'm just saying that a practicable straight answer would also make people lose trust

I think he's right to deflect on Brookfield though. Governance of asset management is very complicated, so it's very easy to misrepresent an honest answer to an objective question. If the question is not relevant and has high potential of being used for misinformation, I think it's best to deflect. The only other option is to openly say "I could objectively answer this question with a 2 hour long explanation that you're probably not educated enough to understand" and that's not going to fly well either.

It doesn’t matter. If you look around, most authoritarian leaders have no more charisma than him. Personality just means a fabricated persona, marketing and propaganda.

In theory, nothing. In practice, half as much of what’s wrong with conservatism. But I was referring to “enlightened centrism” is more specific: the tendency to position oneself in the middle of two ‘extremes’ because it’s a comfortable position, to play a role of enlightened by always taking a both-sides stance. That’s what I’m referring to as a fantasy, because we know that in practice, for the core issues of politics, almost always there is a wrong side of history stance.

All the people that thought Poilievre would not continue as the opposition leader need a wake up call. You still don't understand what you're fighting against. Cult of personality is a major pillar of fascism, and loyalty (to the leader, not to the country) is the most valuable trait. Poilievre had a few humiliating defeats but he's still gaining grounds for the CPC, and the conservative wave is still on it sway, bolder and with lots of resentments piled up.

Take this seriously. The enemy doesn't have to be smart or competent, they just need to amass power. https://www.antihate.ca/40ways

I will shortly be declaring a National Emergency on Electricity within the threatened area. This will allow the U.S to quickly do what has to be done to alleviate this abusive threat from Canada.

This shit is ominous. This demon is ready to invade and take control of the Québec-Windsor corridor.

Cool story but that is what Americans chose, yes. It’s your representative. Americans might not hate Canadians, but Americans only love themselves and will eventually learn that this leads you to behave selfishly and be hated.

Decent article but senseless headline. Nobody ever positioned mandatory service as a method to make Canadians love their country...

The phaseout is now years ahead of schedule, in large part due to natural gas taking over much of the generation. Many coal plants were either replaced by gas plants or converted to burn natural gas instead. Electricity generated from natural gas puts out roughly half the amount of greenhouse gas emissions as compared with coal.

Ok, so fossil fuel is still the primary driver. But well, incremental improvements do matter. Zeroing out coal this year is a great milestone.

The share from renewables is growing too, even if a bit slowly.

Re: the title... Yeah no, owners of an expensive property are not only not in the "rich" class, they're likely working class as much as gig drivers and cashiers. Unless they liquidate this asset and actually go live somewhere LCOL where they can live off of the labour of others, they're still working class.
