Reading your usual biased nonsense and have to comment, and ask; Comment....Trudeau spent more on our military in both dollars and as a percentage of GDP than Harper did. Lose the world has ended BS because of the last 10 years will ya. Comment... You just complained about the lack of military pending and now you're complaining about spending. You should probably decide on one or the other, unless complaining about both is more fun. Ask... What social programs have been cut to fund military spending?

You're a minion Kiddo, and tiring after too long... Ciao

Nothing to bob and weave about. You digressed to something about binary thinking, which is par for the course when things fall flat. It seems to be a forum phenomenon that only conservatives know whats really going on, and the rest of us are just far too gullible because we all watch CBC and go to Pride Parades.

We went over it already. Can you even explain why you were babbling about “underground storage” on that thread?You can’t I posted an article about a new state of the art battery installation and then you dummies went off on a pointless tangent. I have responded in that thread where this discussion belongs.

Now you have switched from talking about generating electricity during peak hours to storage during “seasons” and from on site storage at plants to storage in “caverns”. Why? This has nothing to do with batteries or anything on this topic but you are floundering for a point. Here you have lost the point. Remember your original claim was that plants have underground storage so they can generate more electricity because not enough comes through thenoiep during peak times whinis a ridiculous statement. And then you went on this absurd straw man argument about pipes aren’t magical. To reiterate all the power generated at gas plants comes from the pipeline that feeds the plant. Storing has on site where thatbis even a thing doesn’t make the plant produce more power. That is what we are talking about here. How to supply more electricity during peak hours What I said is factual. Gas plants don’t run on LNG or whatever other word he flounders for. OBVIOUSLY Natural gas gets liquified its literally what LNG stands for and LNG gets stored but that is competing irrelevant to this discussion Gas plants don’t run on LNG and they don’t store it for extra peak power as an alternative to batteries. You and @CdnFox have failed to articulate how storage of “gasoline”/“LNG”/“petrochemicals”/“oil”/“petroleum products” (or whatever the hell else he hilariously tries to call it) is somehow an alternative to batteries whether in “barrels” or “underground storage” or “geological features” or “caverns” or whatever else. Batteries exist so your EXISTING GENERATORS can generate overnight and supply the next day for example - nothing to do with “seasons” or transporting energy to Europe or any of the other none you desperately flinging at the wall and hoping it sticks.

Maybe, but spending your life online shouting thousands and thousands of insults every year on an internet forum doesn't strike me as a happy and enjoyable experience...more like the street addict getting a fenty hit. 🤷‍♂️

NB absolutely gets equalization payments, so you benefit. I'm not sure why Quebec receives more, but will assume it has to do with the fact they have far more people than NB. I'm in BC which receives none. My life is still the same...but maybe now I can separate on my property because I haven't been treated fairly? Doing more harm than good is a matter of opinion. Some provinces in Canada don't have the ability to generate as much revenue as others. That said.... I've never put too much thought into it. You're talking about a West East pipeline. Quebecs the problem aren't they? Nothing pulled out of my áss with the AB stats. The stats I saw was ~27% for the smaller group of unhappy fools who wanted to separate because their choice of party didn't get elected federally. The large majority may be unhappy with past or current governments, but they're still Canadian and prefer to stay that way. Whatever, can't please everyone. But f you saw it on CBC, how do you know it's true?

Here you are bullshitting about “underground storage” at gas plants to provide some kind of peak electricity demand. Extra gas doesn’t make the gas plant put out more electricity. Of the plants that have on-site storage it’s just to bridge an unexpected brief disruption to the pipe not so the plant can go into turbo mode during peak hours.

No that’s you and especially User. So desperate to “nuh-uh” whatever was last said you’ll go down any rabbit hole no matter how far it takes you from having any point Not at all, and this just proves my point above. What happened was I posted an article about a new state of the art battery storage site and you replied to it with some nonsense about the money would have been better spent on storing “barrels of gasoline”. “Storing chemical energy” as you are now calling it has nothing to do with the topic. It doesn’t add electricity to the grid unless you also build new power plants to burn that stored “chemical energy” and the the plants are all fed by pipelines theres no “storage” problem or shortage of “chemical energy” for our gas plants that needs solving. You fundamentally don’t understand what you’re talking about and you are just shooting in the dark desperate to have some kind of point. LMAO THE GIBBERISH CONTINUES! So now cities have extra “generators” that run on “oil” and are just lying around unused and we can “put a hose into” the “oil” to power cities during peak hours? Stop. Just stop. You really are sounding so dumb I am embarrassed for you. Let me just clean up your gibberish into something intelligible since there are no gas plants just sitting around unused waiting for gas, what you are advocating for is building more gas plants. Building the plant is where the costs come from , not the cost of storing the gas that feeds the plant and doesn’t even require much storage. So as I attempted to get through your thick skull in that thread building multimillion dollar gas plants just to run them a for few hours a day when electricity is most expensive to produce makes that electricity very expensive 1) you are failing to include the cost of extract ling and converting that “barrel of oil” into an actual fuel (spoiler alert power plants don’t run on “oil”) and then to build the power plant that will burn that fuel, plus there is the cost of the fuel itself which you might have heard some incompetent and crooked republican president has recently made extremely expensive 2) you are comparing apples and oranges a battery doesn’t generate electricity it stores existing electricity for later, allowing you to convert your “barrel of oil” (or whatever generation source is most convenient or affordable) to electricity when its cheapest and then supply it to the grid later when its most expensive. The whole point of a battery is so you Don’t have to generate electricity on demand, you supply it on demand but you intentionally generate it when it’s not demanded, from any source you wish. 3) what is a “similarly sized battery” in your statement ? Like are you talking about a battery that is the same physical size as a “barrel of oil”? That seems like pretty ridiculous statement. Especially since as I pointed out no power plant burns “oil” and natural gas isn’t stored in “barrels”. 100 MW of gas powered electricity is the same as 100Mw of battery-supplied electricity is what you don’t seem to get. For peak hours electricity usage The cost of the battery storage is less than the cost of a new “peaker” plant AND the cost of generating the electricity with a battery is lower because it can be generated off peak from existing generation instead of during peak. So enough of your gibberish and bullshit

If you look at Carney's approval ratings, it appears that it's more than just liberals who have moved on. Do what you got to do though if complaining about Trudeau makes you feel better. I don't think I was 'complaining' about job losses and tariffs, but was definitely complaining about the guy most responsible for those job losses and tariffs. Huh... what does this mean? "job losses are the direct result of liberal inaction on the tariff file". Not following that...what liberal inaction leant itself to 25% - 50% tariffs? We've beat this one to death. You're of the opinion we should turtle and give Trump what he wants because 'we haven't carried our weight'. I'm in the camp that we don't agree to a deal unless it benefits us, regardless of how long it takes. We agree to disagree... I'm wondering though if you ever see or listen to Trump. Anyone with an ounce of common sense has figured out Carney is dealing with a petulant man child who has no idea what he wants, and generally influence by the last person he talks to. It is what it is... wait him out if that's what it takes. You say recruitment is not at a 30 year high but send me a link saying it is. What is the problem... the more recruitments you get the more will fail, and the more will pass. I'll assume it's always been that way. Why is recruits not being able to get through basic training a liberal problem? Seems to me that's more on the individual and parents rather than any political party. There's a few choices... lower the basic training standard, train the basic training applicants, or keep the same standards and better market the military as a top of mind choice for a younger persons career path.

65,000 kids called a hotline, asking for help. Only 1 person was assigned to answer the phone and follow up. If you voted for Biden, you did this.

Why the self portrait?

My AR 15 only has 14 attachments, should I send it back? Also the bottle opener broke trying to open a can of Guinness. They said it was one of these calibers but none fit.

Have you been in a coma the past year and a half? No social programs have been cut. 1) the whole point is to be LESS dependent on USA not even more dependent 2) That would be even more expensive than a mixes fleet Where do you get off claiming offsets only enrich liberal voters? Rhey are all political buys when you get down to it. Even in the US it is highly political: which prototypes get selected for production, how many are produced, where the components come from. USA is not the perfect meritocracy you think it is.

Sorry but the AR is still up deadly weapon, at least until you put the bottle opener on it as well. Unless it's got the shoulder thing that goes up

LOL, you are such a dishonest clown. So, you lie and run like a coward about underground storage... and instead of dealing with that, you want to go back and relitigate why it was even mentioned in the first place? OK, this is your argument to make, go dig up the conversation and make your case. Lets see it. You want to criticize my comments, go get them, lets see it. YOU were the one who brought this up in this discussion anyhow, all because I called out your stupidity on your Iran comments so you could run from that.

That was never the conversation. Your problem is you change the conversation so often trying desperately to get away from your own faulty logic but you can't even remember what the hell you were talking about Our conversation was about renewable energy replacing non-renewable. Specifically wind and solar. And I pointed out that until you can store electricity as effectively as you can store chemical energy and for the same price there's no chance of that happening The cost of a large oil storage tank is absolutely tiny compared to the cost of a similar battery bank holding the same potential energy. And yes when you run out of power it's super easy to put a little hose into the storage of oil and run it to a generator and produce as much electricity as you need for as long as the oil holds out. This is beyond simple but because it upset your echo chamber view of renewable energy you had a little freak out and try to defend the indefensible If you look at how much energy you can generate from a barrel of oil and how much energy you get out of a similarly sized and expense battery the oil produces vastly more electrical output and it can do it on demand Solar power will never be a replacement for regular power until the day comes where we can store it as cheaply and as effectively as we store chemical energy. That's a simple truth and I get that you don't like it and I get that you feel stupid forever arguing it but here we are

Why would you even have been talking about “underground storage” when that had nothing to do with the conversation which was about batteries supplying additional electricity during peak hours? To recap, what happened is you butted in to try and rescue Cdnfux from his gibberish about “barrels of gasoline” . So you started in with your own gibberish about plants having storage beneath them which is barely even a thing and then most recently you pivoted to the natural geological formations storage as a last desperate attempt But again I remind you that has absolutely nothing to do with the original conversation which was about battery storage, which charges from existing generation during low demand hours so it can add additional electricity to the grid alongside the generators during peak hours.

You created another worthless thread. No surprise.

For what? Which of them are judges?

Perfect. Trump and hid family would be in jail instantly. Nice. 👍😄

This is one of the 5 "tools" on Karmelo's "6-in-one multi-tool": Can you imagine being stranded in the middle of nowhere without one of those? Hapless Man: "I dropped my keys somewhere in that forest!" 'Melo-Man: "Don't worry! I have a flashlight on my multi-tool!" Hapless Man: "Melo-Man, can you cut this piece of rope with your 5" knife?" 'Melo-Man: "It's not a knife, it's a multi-tool, and the answer is no. But lucky for you it has this cord-cutter tool on it, for when you need to cut a piece of rope thin cord but you only have a stabbing weapon." "I can cut ropes up to 3/8" thick with this. I dunno how we're gonna cut that 1/2" polypropylene rope though. I don't have a tool for that." Hapless Man: "All I have are these lighters and matches, and this tiger torch, but I can't seem to light this log on fire. Please tell me that there's something on your multi-tool, Melo-Man..." 'Melo-Man: "I once used this to weld two train cars together. it should do the trick!" Hapless Man: "I bet that you can survive an apocalypse or build a house with that thing, Melo-Man. Have a nice day." *STAB STAB* Hapless Man: *coughs up blood* "Why, Melo-Man?" Melo-Man: "Where I come from, we say "Have a GREAT day"... Saying "Have a nice day" is not considered "nice", so I had to stand my ground. Hapless Man: "👻"

It doesn't matter how much it costs, where it was purchased, or your dishonest attempt to frame it as a "multi tool," as it was a deadly weapon, used as a deadly weapon, to stab another boy in the heart. It is laughable that you are trying to characterize its having a flashlight on it as a "mutli tool" Sure, many people have a flashlight on their AR-15's too! It is no longer a scary assault rifle... ROFL

???? wut? I can always tell when I've completely broken you emotionally when you lose the ability to speak basic English. It's a weird phenomenon. I always wonder if maybe I've upset you the point where you have to go and have a drink and you come back slightly loaded and can't type
