Lomborg doesn't source that number.

Quote the excerpt that supports your claim please.

Where did you get this?

Right. No one's disputing net Zero would be expensive. Unluckily, we're not going to get there. We're spending less than 1%

Well, besides that our whole structure isn't set up to do this. We house migrant farm workers in temporary facilities. We would have to house Canadians nearby in permanent housing. They'd have to get EI in the off-season, I suppose, since they can't earn at those times. We'd have to pay them more to attract the workers. Just a lot of questions here that need to be answered. But to the assumed point of the OP: yes, things change. We don't have manufacturers, miners, and manual labourers like we did. These people do other jobs now that aren't as physically demanding. They pay .... sometimes more, sometimes less. But nobody seems to be saying we're going to have unionized work groups making things like home appliances in Canada because said appliances would be at least double the cost (and I'm basing this on 1997 prices, which already had a lot of lower labour costs factored in) Fantasizing about unskilled labourers making what they made in the 1950s and 1960s is not productive.

Hm ? Devil in the details - it says Climate Change " based on current trends — will have a global cost equivalent to between 1.9 and 3.1 per cent of global GDP. " That's every year. What are we spending now ? Google says: "Canada: In 2023, the Canadian government spent about 0.5% of GDP on climate action. The Climate Action Network Canada estimates that the government will increase its spending to 0.7% of GDP over the next five years

1. Do you know what breaking stories are? They're not necessarily stories that won't come out, although Global and the Globe did break insider stories like Trudeau playing hooky on Truth and Reconciliation Day and SNC Lavalin. Your ambulance chaser press goes to demos and causes trouble then films the arrest. 2. You don't have to be right beside Trudeau to report on his government. What a strange idea.

We've debunked this Extended discussion on this topic leads to circular reasoning every time: the religion is supposedly bad because of the content of their Holy Book. Their Holy Book has odious passages, like the Christian one but their Holy book is bad because of the behaviour of the followers. The followers follow the bad religion, which is bad because of the Holy Book...and so on. Cultural factors can't be considered by the haters, presumably because that would mean that reasonable Muslims exist.

The Global and Mail? They broke the story of Trudeau's resignation. I guess The Rebel was still vetting their sources... 😂

Human-Caused climate change is new.

Agreed. Us old folks are Laden with old ideas. This is also why I have a tiny glimmer of hope that Poilievre will shed his negative politics and unveil something truly inspirational for the future.

If we go out, we go out. It will be a blustery horrible, dark nightmare, and the best team will emerge. And if that happens, I'm all in for Washington.

The populists reject the label of unserious. They view serious people as being part of the elite.

What an incredible game though. Individual playmaking on both sides was A treat for the eyes, and Daniels is the most incredible rookie I have ever seen. From his first game he played with unknowable confidence. A phenomenon. Goff "picked" the wrong time to throw picks. And the Detroit coach's penchant for cleverness din him in in, when a non-quarterback threw another interception when they were down. A game we'll be talking about for a long time. Poor Detroit.

These are the types of sites that attend events, and then agitate to the point where they provoke security response and report on being persecuted by the police.

If you think NOTHING was good, that may be a sign you're a partisan. All admins do some good.

Sorry ? Majority doesn't exist ? "Ideological drives can be imposed" ... sure they can as long as your other precepts aren't contravened. Right ? Minorities do not exist ? This view of wokism and fascism doesn't seem right. Wokism hasn't been successfully defined here. The closest we got is "extreme accommodation"...

I feel that they're under appreciated.

It's pretty sad though. I only ever heard the matter of a sub-region complaining about carrying the nation from Albertans some of whom were indeed separatist-minded. It's kind of like a couple, when they start talking like this about money.

Business is also an arts degree. So is architecture, psychology.. remember, Jordan Peterson was a psych professor. Arts degrees demand a general approach, research and so on. There's value there. The engineering programs I'm most familiar with consists of 4 years of solving puzzles in different areas. Same with computer science. I would say one of the ills of society is we don't have enough leaders who can see the big picture, and actually lead us. Anyway, don't quote culture, war fodder as evidence of social trends... It really undercuts your argument.

Why do you respond to me? Why do you presume to know where I'm going to vote? Continues to be strange thing for me to encounter.

Well ok. Clearly they need to make big changes whoever wins. I'm not fond of the lowest common denominator style of campaigning, nor do I like "good people vote for us"

I have prayed there. I'm not ashamed... Humanity lurches forward sometimes by, and sometimes in spite of religion. You will always find more people to agree on basic humanistic points than cultural dictates of any religion. And in my experience, most religious people are humanists and very tolerant.

I don't understand.
