Should Stores Checking Receipts be Made Unlawful?
Aristides replied to a topic in Moral & Ethical Issues
A standard question when you cross a border is do you have more than 10K in cash or how much cash do you have? I never had more than 10K but I have taken as much as 4K when we used to winter down south and never had an issue. I always declared it even though it was less than 10K. Do you think people should be able to bring in suitcases full of cash, no questions asked? Racial profiling is another issue. -

You must declare cash when entering the country if it is over 10K. It's the law in Canada as well. -

Didn’t know how allergic you are to it. Must be really shitty not being able to reply to anything without personal insults and name calling. -

Haley resigned from the Trump administration over 2 years before Jan 6. Only Trump could make this stuff up and only his cult could swallow it. -

Good idea, Florida will be under water. -
Alberta is third in both wind and solar generating capacity. Where is this hydro generation supposed to come from? Who has electrical storage capacity? Only a tiny amount of electricity is generated from geo thermal in Canada. https://energyrates.ca/the-main-electricity-sources-in-canada-by-province/

Alberta has connections to external grids. How else did they get power from BC and Saskatchewan, by rail? Edmonton gets about 8 hours of daylight this time of year and the sun is very low on the horizon. Solar is pretty useless. Great in the long days of summer if you need air conditioning but not so much in winter. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/power-risk-winter-heat-overload-demand-1.7087499 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/alberta-electrical-grid-emergency-decarbonization-1.7083664

Not true. Texas failed because it isn't part of a state wide grid system, Alberta was saved because it is part of a province wide grid system and could draw from BC and Sask. BC imported 20% of its power last year due to low water levels in reservoirs. Solar and wind were useless to Alberta during the recent cold snap because the wind doesn't blow when those big arctic high pressures dominate and solar is next to useless because days are so short and the sun is so low on the horizon.
