  1. AI agrees with you about tariffs, be afraid, be very afraid.
  2. No not that Stephen King, Just the Carney court jester.

  5. Thanks for the complement.
  6. Yes but no but yes but no but yes but he's banker, all hail the banker.
  7. You sure?
  8. Let me know when the sky is falling so we can put all the models underneath and beat them into submission.
  9. When you can prove that has not happened. Then come back with a valid question. Anything that can happen will.
  10. The action was to destroy Iran's nuclear capability so as to prevent any further war like actions. But you knew that, so why make the statement. You sure?
  11. Anyone using Chatgtp should crawl back under the rock.
  12. No direct connection. Data is entered by guess who (not the doctor). Now go look up "nudging". Then explain why nefarious manipulation never, ever, never take place.
  13. sensors? what the hell you talkin about?
  14. The rainbows and unicorns crowd are still soaking in their ideological brain fog, so it's going to be still some time. When they realise that the thing sitting on the toadstool is not a toad,,,,,,maybe then.
  15. What????? They all made promises. Now pray tell what solutions has the Carney provided?.
  16. Ford was liked once, then he developed a smarmy condescending attitude to the Carney. He's now sliming his way in a vain attempt for Conservative leadership. Not one single Conservative I know would vote for him.
  17. What???? The code is not the problem , it's the erroneous input.
  18. Here's the list......... April 21: Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre promises a government led by him would build 2.3 million homes over the next five years. He also promises to “reward” cities that allow 15 per cent more homebuilding each year and to sell off federal land for building new homes. April 20: Poilievre says a government led by him would cut the amount of money it spends on consultants by $10 billion annually. April 19: Poilievre says he would give judges the ability to “mandate treatment” for people with addictions, and impose life sentences on people who traffic fentanyl. April 18: Poilievre pledges to reverse the ban on plastic straws and grocery bags, and to overturn the former Liberal government’s plan to phase out certain single-use plastic products by 2030. Poilievre says that will save Canadians money and help restaurants and grocers do business. He also says he would provide $22 billion in Russian assets to Ukraine to help fund its defence against Russia. April 17: Poilievre promises a “First Arctic Defence Plan” that would procure a fleet of aircraft to increase radar surveillance, build a 600 km road from Yellowknife to Gray’s Bay, and construct a new naval base at Churchill, Man. He also promises to double the size of the Canadian Rangers from 2,000 to 4,000, purchase two new icebreakers and build a permanent military base in Iqaluit. April 14: Poilievre promises to protect older voters from fraud by punishing banks and telecoms that don’t do enough to prevent it. The Conservative plan calls on banks and telecoms to implement real-time scam detection on seniors’ accounts. Poilievre promises to fine companies up to $5 million if they don’t implement the “latest technology to stop scams” and to impose mandatory penalties and jail time on those committing the crimes. April 14: Poilievre says he would use the notwithstanding clause, which allows the government to override some Charter rights for a limited time, to impose consecutive life sentences on multiple murders. He says a Conservative government would give judges the power to sentence people who’ve been convicted of multiple murders to consecutive life sentences. Under his plan, a court could impose periods of parole ineligibility of 50, 75 or even 100 years, instead of the current limit of 25 years. April 13: Poilievre promises to introduce new legislation that would tighten transparency rules for elected officials. He says that if his party forms government, he’ll ban what he calls “shadow lobbying.” Poilievre said he also would require that cabinet ministers “divest fully from tax havens” and disclose their assets. April 12: Poilievre promises to cut red tape and step up support for veterans. Poilievre says his party would ensure military veterans’ disability applications are automatically approved if they’re not processed within four months. Poilievre also says his party would give veterans control over their medical records, let military doctors assess injuries using a standardized system and ensure people are able to get service dogs for post-traumatic stress disorder. The party is pledging to make the educational and training benefit available to Armed Forces members as soon as they get their release date. April 12: Poilievre says if his party forms government it will keep Canada’s medical assistance in dying regime intact, but won’t expand it. Poilievre says a Conservative government would ensure Canadians have the right to choose a medically assisted death but will not expand the law to include advance directives. April 11: Poilievre promises that he would require that banks recognize all skilled trades and apprenticeship programs as eligible for Registered Education Savings Plans. April 10: Poilievre proposes a plan to reimburse cities for half of every dollar they cut in development charges. He says the Conservatives’ plan would make it easier to build housing and make those homes cheaper for would-be buyers. According to a party backgrounder document, the Conservatives promise to reimburse municipalities 50 per cent of the amount they cut from development fees, up to a maximum of $25,000 per home. The Conservatives claim that, combined with their plan to lift the GST from purchases of new homes under $1.3 million, the total benefit for homebuyers would be up to $115,000 per home. April 9: Poilievre promises to ban bail, parole and house arrest for repeat serious offenders. He says his “three-strikes” law wouldn’t run afoul of the Constitution, even though several justice experts have said some of his crime policies are likely to get struck down by the courts. He says a government led by him would make those convicted three times of “serious” offences ineligible for bail, probation, parole or house arrest. Those offenders would also be sentenced to a minimum prison term of 10 years and could get a life sentence. They could not “be released until they have proven that they are no longer a danger to society,” he says. April 8: The Conservatives say that if they form government, they will crack down on offshore tax loopholes by appointing a “bring it home tax task force.” In a press release, the party says the task force would make the rules simpler and more fair and ensure large companies can’t “stash their money in offshore tax havens.” The Conservatives say they would set up a website to name wealthy companies that are dodging taxes and instruct the Canada Revenue Agency to redirect its staff away from auditing small businesses and charities and toward cracking down on tax havens. They’re also calling for an expansion of the offshore tax informant program to offer whistleblowers up to one-fifth of the money recovered from illegal tax schemes. April 7: Poilievre promises a “one-and-done” approach to approving resource projects if he becomes prime minister. He says his plan is to create a one-stop shop that sees one application and one environmental review for each project. Poilievre says he’d work with the provinces to create a single office that would coordinate project approvals across all levels of government, and would also impose a one-year cap on wait times for approvals to give businesses the certainty they need to start building. Poilievre is also promising to rapidly approve 10 projects he says are stuck in limbo, including the second phase of a liquefied natural gas project in northern B.C. April 6: Poilievre announces a Conservative plan to fund recovery treatment for 50,000 people facing addiction. He says a Conservative government would provide treatment centres with a set amount of funding based on the number of months they keep their clients drug-free. Poilievre says more funding would be provided for more complex cases, such as those facing homelessness. The Conservatives estimated the cost of the addiction recovery program at $250 million per year for four years and said the party would fund the program by making cuts to the federal government’s existing safer supply programs and suing opioid manufacturers. April 5: Poilievre promises to cut bureaucratic red tape by 25 per cent in two years. The plan for what he calls a “two-for-one” law would mandate that two regulations be repealed for every new one that is brought in. It would also require that for every dollar in new administrative costs, two dollars must be cut elsewhere to ease the burden. April 4: Poilievre says he would create a new criminal offence for assaulting an intimate partner, and pass a law to require the strictest possible bail conditions for anyone accused of intimate partner violence. That would include GPS ankle bracelet monitoring for those who are allowed out on bail. The Conservatives are also promising that the murder of an intimate partner or a child would be treated as first-degree murder. April 3: Poilievre announces a plan to cut federal sales tax from Canadian-made vehicles to support an auto industry reeling from U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs. A list of eligible new vehicles provided to media by the Conservative party include the Toyota RAV4, the Honda Civic and CRV, the Chevrolet Silverado and others from automakers with plants in Ontario. The tax cut would be temporary and would last for as long as U.S. tariffs on vehicles are in place. Poilievre also pledged to set up a $3-billion fund to loan money to businesses hit by American tariffs to keep workers employed throughout the cross-border trade dispute. April 2: Poilievre rolls out his plan to address the trade war. Poilievre said that if he becomes prime minister, he will propose an early renegotiation of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement ahead of its planned revision in 2026. He said Canada would seek a pause on all tariffs during those negotiations. Poilievre said that if Trump moves forward with tariffs, he would support retaliatory tariffs targeting U.S. goods that Canada produces or can source elsewhere. The Conservatives are also promising a temporary loan program for businesses affected by tariffs to keep their employees working during the trade dispute. April 1: Poilievre announces he would eliminate automatic annual tax increases on alcohol. Conservatives say they will bring the tax rate back down to 2017 levels. April 1: Poilievre promises to enact a set of five demands from the country’s energy sector in the face of U.S. tariffs if his party forms government. They include streamlined regulation of projects, six-month deadlines for project approvals, an end to both the emissions cap and the industrial carbon price and the provision of Indigenous loan guarantees “at scale.” March 31: Poilievre promises to create a pre-approved national energy corridor to speed up infrastructure projects. He says that if his party forms government, it will fast-track approvals for projects such as transmission lines, railways, pipelines and other critical infrastructure. March 30: Poilievre pitches a new tax measure he says would act like “rocket fuel” for the Canadian economy -- a deferral of tax on capital gains. Poilievre says a government led by him would allow Canadians to defer capital gains tax if they reinvest those earnings in Canada. The promised tax deferral window would be open for 18 months beginning in July. The deferred tax would be recouped by the federal government once investors cash out or move the money outside of Canada. March 29: Poilievre promises to expand the tax writeoff that trade workers can declare for work travel. Trades workers can currently claim up to $4,000 in travel expenses for work tasks; Poilievre says he would expand that to include “the full cost of food, transportation and accommodation.” The change would apply to people required to travel more than 120 kilometres from their home for work -- instead of the current 150 kilometres -- and would no longer require an overnight stay. The Conservatives also say they would stop businesses from writing off luxury corporate jets; they say companies could instead write off the equivalent cost in commercial flights, unless work trips require charter transportation. March 28: Poilievre repeats an earlier promise to pass a law to impose mandatory life sentences on people found guilty of trafficking fentanyl on a large scale. He also says people who are convicted of five or more counts of human trafficking and exporting 10 or more illegal firearms would get the same life sentences to “ensure these monsters rot in jail forever.” March 27: Poilievre says a Tory government would allow Canadians to contribute another $5,000 -- for a total of $12,000 a year -- into tax-free savings accounts, provided they invest that extra money in Canadian companies. March 26: Poilievre says a Conservative government would keep the retirement age at 65. He says Conservatives would also allow working seniors to earn up to $34,000 tax-free, and allow seniors to keep their savings in an RRSP until age 73, up from 71. March 25: Poilievre promises a government led by him would maintain existing federal dental-care, pharmacare and child-care programs. March 25: Poilievre pledges to eliminate the GST on purchases of new homes for up to $1.3 million if he wins the federal election. The announcement expands on a plan the Conservatives proposed in October to eliminate the GST on new homes sold for under $1 million. The Tories also say they would help make it more attractive for municipalities to free up land, speed up permits and cut development charges to build more homes. March 24: Poilievre promises a 2.25 percentage point income tax cut that he says would save a dual-income family $1,800 per year. Poilievre says he would drop the lowest income tax bracket from 15 to 12.75 per cent and fund the cut by trimming federal government bureaucracy. March 21: Poilievre announces a plan to boost training and employment for workers in the skilled trades. Speaking at a news conference in Ottawa, Poilievre says his plan for “more boots, less suits” would expand training halls and provide direct grants and faster access to employment insurance for apprentices in licensed trades. March 20: Poilievre says he wants to create what he calls “shovel-ready zones” with pre-approved permits for major resource or energy projects. He says the goal is to get permits in place early for a mine, liquefied natural gas plant, pipeline or other major project. March 19: Poilievre says he’d “set a deadline” to approve all federal permits for mining in northwestern Ontario’s Ring of Fire region within six months. He says that a Conservative government would also commit $1 billion over three years to building a road network to link the mining sites to Ontario’s highway network and First Nations communities in the area. March 17: Poilievre says a Conservative government would repeal the entire carbon pricing law for consumers and big industry. To reduce emissions, Poilievre says his government would “expand eligibility” for the clean technology and clean manufacturing tax credits. He adds his government would “reward” businesses that make products with emissions lower than the world average.
  19. (HorizonLength^2 - MeasuredCurvature) / (ObserverHeight * DistanceToHorizon)=?? Lets say the was a computer model that used a sub-routine to calculate the above expressions. If you accidently input a zero for measured curvature the output would signify a flat earth. A simple mistake in inputting data can result in a wildly inaccurate outcome. Multiply that with trillions of processing cycles. Add to that constantly changing variables the accuracy you speak of is heavily suspect.
  20. Do you really think Trump loves you?
  21. Yet here you are making assertions about something which you have no knowledge. "best fit" does not make an absolute physical or fairy tale.
