    Canada has a fraction of the population and manufacturing of China, so I'm not sure how that's a relevant comparison. Canada has already largely removed coal from their electricity generation. So here we're talking about transportation.

    I'm not sure using China as an example why we shouldn't move to Green solutions will hole water for very long. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/03/08/energy-chinas-renewables-progress-comes-alongside-a-coal-power-boom.html#:~:text=In 2020%2C China's Xi announced,for carbon neutrality by 2060.

    Isn't that what Carbon Taxes do? There's a tax rebate for it. Also, the Federal Rebate on EVs serves a similar purposes. The divide happens when people claim that the gumint is trying to rip your precious ICE away from you! Much of the developed world has made moving away from Fossil fuels a priority (even China). This is a goal they've all set. We'll see if it's attainable. I'm seeing more and more EVs on the road an in parking lots every day.

    Again what type of negotiated peace does this look like? This sounds like something a Putin Apologist would say. Negotiating with Putin only enables him. He's leading the world's #1 pariah state right now. LOL, Alright Comrade.

    What type of deal are we thinking? Allowing Russia to annex yet more of a nation's land? To unite Ethnic people within that land? It's the exact same playbook Hitler played from.

    We already have EVs that can get several hundred kms on a charge. But they're prohibitively expensive for most people. We're in the stage of early adopters. Like people paying $1,000 for a DVD player. It's a TV, it's an EV. An EV is already a pretty cool car. We're just talking about the Battery being more scalable, cheaper and less reliant on rare earth metals. It's an improvement to the tech. Perhaps using the term transitional was incorrect.
  7. Boges
    Sure, but like with all tech, we'll need bridge technology. Not everyone with a car needs it to go 700 kms on a single charge. Sodium Ion Batteries are a good solution to bringing the price down and reducing the demand on Lithium.

    Neither are into the EV game right now. Honda just released their first EV recently and Toyota still doesn't have a full EV in their line-up. Both, Toyota and Honda, already have assembly plant in Ontario. Don't want to play the game, Go home. Scores of US towns are more than willing to subsidize Stellantis and VW to build Batteries.
  9. Boges
    There's also a VW plant proposed. But Chrysler is one of the Big 3. What are the automakers you're looking for investment from?

    People are charging overnight. My EV uses comparable Hydro to my AC during peak periods of the year. This is fear mongering.
  11. Boges
    If you have an electric Dryer you can have a Stage 2 charger. I got one set up in my Townhouse. It'll cost a few hundred dollars to set one up with an electrician. But it's a valuable home improvement feature as you can now accommodate an EV, which will only get more popular in the coming years. I bought my charger off of Amazon, it's a pretty simple device. It's just conjecture to assume that more than a few people charging their EVs at night will crash the grid.

    Pride has been happening for like 30 years now. It's only now that people think it's become toxic. Which speaks to my point that homophobia is seeing a resurgence. If you feel "your" child should not be exposed to such things, don't bring your child to a Gay Pride parade. I still fail to see how lewd acts are being promoting by accepting the Pride movement at a school though.
  13. Boges
    Heterosexuals can also be perverse too. If you're religious, do you feel you have to vocally speak out against priests or pastors who commit sexual crime? If you're heterosexual, do you feel you need to apologize for a man exposing himself to young girls? We can believe those things are vile and wrong, but we don't feel we need to answer for their crimes. I don't think the Pride movement needs to apologize for those that are also sexually perverse.
  14. Boges
    I actually don't think the Pride Parade is something children, because people do party and "let loose". But that doesn't mean Pride iconography should be banned.
  15. Boges
    Look I can concede that the focus on Trans right and the idea that Gender norms are meaningless is somewhat irksome. But they aren't a monolith group. But from a White Straight "Sis" perspective it's pretty funny to suggest they have shouldn't be celebrating their "identity". They just won the right to marry in this century. Last century it was illegal to be gay in many places. What bugs me is the idea that homosexuality = perverse. And you see that sentiment in this thread. Are there very sexual things associated with the LGBT movement? Sure. Its defined by Sexual preference and identity. But it doesn't mean they're perverse.
  16. Boges
    What schools are making Pride activities field trips. And if there is anything pride related in a school, please provide evidence that it involves explicit sexuality?
  17. Boges
    And you don't have to attend a Pride Parade or consume anything related to Pride.
  18. Boges
    Have you seen that movie Up in the Air? Don't be so sure leaders would look to find way to not deal with such things. Let's also put this into perspective. Gas prices were $1.30/litre in 2008. Gas Price increase we see now are, more or less, what you'd see with inflation over the past 15 years. The Carbon Tax was soundly defeated in 2008. Since 2015 a party that has run on a Carbon taxes has won. So the appetite of Canadians seem to support it. That's mostly covered by people get.

    So not a reflection on Hetrosexuals as a whole? Why are instances of perversion amongst Homosexuals used to define them as a group? I'm sure you wouldn't say the scores of religious leaders that took part in sexual crime and pedophilia is emblematic of religious people.
  20. Boges
    Pride is a complex movement. Which is why, associating it solely with the elements you disagree with, is wrong. Flying a flag doesn't automatically equate to support for gender affirming therapies or public displays of hardcore sexuality.
  21. Boges
    So that means, that is emblematic of all of Pride? Is this emblematic of heterosexuality?
  22. Boges
    If you think that represents the majority, or even a fraction of homosexuals, you're the problem.
  23. Boges
    So the fact that Canada accounts for 2% of emissions while making up only a fraction of a percent of Global population isn't relevant?
  24. Boges
    I guess how serious is subjective, which is why there can't be a consensus on what to do. The point about comparing to industrialization is that developing nations are finally being able to use methods that rich nations have used for decades to build their wealth. It's a tough ask to tell them to stay in poverty for the sake of the environment. Therefore it's the rich nations that need to take the lead on pivoting to Green Energy. I don't see a lot of rushing. Carbon taxes are incremental. The war in Ukraine is raising the cost of living more than any Carbon Tax. No one is being told their furnaces or ICE vehicles are being seized, we are still in early stages of development on this. Lots of progress has already been made.
  25. Boges
    You don't think Industrialization vastly improved the lives of the people, in the countries that were able to do it first? Just like pivoting to Green Tech will improve the lives of people in Developed countries. Less pollution, less reliance on volatile resources in the hands of despots, the ability to desalinize sea water without polluting more. The list is long.
