False equivalency. Uber drivers are like Cesna island hoppers. Ever hop around Hawaii? Flights are $50-100. Ever wonder why? Its evaluation of risk ratio. We regulate to the level of risk we are comfortable in taking.

Not when they try to speak for more themself.....or those then try to project those decisions to others.

Or those who claim to be "the true believers"......

The dollar parity did most of the hard work.....drove exporters away.....even made our power importers (New York/Michigan) look elsewhere for cheaper power. I'm told that it had nothing to do with $100 /barrel oil.......what do those Dutch and their diseases know anyway. Am I right?

That was a result of inaction after the Rae-Darlington construction fiasco and the knee jerk Harris-Hydro dereg. The McGuinty Coal mothballing surely didn't help. Just like the hole left in the workforce due to the boom/bust cycle of baby boomers the same can be said for power. There is a gaping hole after Darlington construction with nothing......things age and need refit/replace. NIMBY was alive and politicians were more than happy to oblige. Inaction kills just as much as action.

This would douse alot of the flames.....those states don't want that.....they need US fighting the battle.

They aren't. Do you see the whole breakdown on mix of costs and profits in any bill you get? In fact I find transparent than most. Analysis is out there for breakdowns if you look. Not as simple as that with Pickering Nuclear shuttering it's doors ...currently... in 2020. Thats 3000 MW baseload gone at the same time the first unit is down at Bruce (800 MW) and the last unit (maybe....but likely not) at Darlington (800 MW). That's alot of imported power.

Wasn`t that the focus of this thread before all your rants? The mismanagement of the FIT program, etal. that produces this inflated cost. The gov't thought if they overpaid (for a period) they'd suck in the big players (manufacturers/producers) to sustain the market after they pulled out. Well I look around and the big guns aren't here and we are still propping it up. When do we get the eraser out?Look at the deal Bruce Power just got to delay refurbs until 2020. This will hurt. As for your percentage breakdown, that was a reflection of the energy mix not AUP. Now that coal is gone, hydro/renewables have gone up and nuclear has had a dip the prices would be different. Could you delineate the AUP from those 2 datapoints? Maybe, but your data reflects nil to your point.

Thank-you for the clarification......I was confused by your commentary in Middle East topics......but now it's clear.

How very true but I think your grasp of grammar meant to imply a different meaning.

Quran: The prophet (like our mormon friend Mr. Smith) wrote down verbatim what God said.....writerxs cramp and allBible: Disciples slept on it and took their time to summarize what God said to them......then passed it around to their editor to punch up the boring chapters

1) It's not a real issue. It's not fraud. It's not deceit. It's not grift. It's not even slightly immoral. It's hypocrisy.....the lifeblood of Ottawa. You can't throw a dead cat and not hit that.2) A real issue is what are the logistical risks we have right now accepting refugees, how are we going to navigate out of this Navy ship fiasco we're stuck in, or what are we going to do when the US Fed raises rates this or next month.......those are valid issues.......this is 24hr news cycle fluff.

You're right.....this waste is all theirs.....this is not a result of Eve's deregulation fiasco. That's still there but this is sickening. Although this is true, she doesn't understand what she's talking about and she likes to grandstand without knowledge just like Marin, it doesn't make some of the things she audited any less disgusting.All I will say with respect to the Green Energy crap.....they told us they were going to do it......charge high in the beginning to "attract" the big players to bring innovation jobs. We shouldn't be surprised by this just asking where those jobs went.

Yeah.......and when I say I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.......I'm not calling you a rube, many a person has fallen victim to the scam.

So high brow debaters use "crackpot" cites?

All of the above.So you are saying that if parishioners say "Praise Jesus" when cooking people in ovens it's religious genocide but if an imam puts a bullet in the back of infidels without making a sermon he's just an a-hole? Interesting.

No....could care less if slavic clerics were killing in the name of Jesus or not.....I just enjoyed your statement as it is apropos today even though you tried to use it solely for historical events.

Things that make you go......hmmmm.

The point is not to take advantage of but simply to have the equal footing....not that I agree with this. If you can inject your stomach with insulin at the table you somehow discount thei medical condition if they cannot have the opportunity to do the same. Maybe they can go to the john and smoke a bud next to the guy emptying his colostomy bag.

I think this is illogical non-sense but I think this goes along with a pattern for this gov't......avoid going to court at all costs. Harper wanted "liberals" to challenge his legislation for donations from his base. I believe Wynne is afraid court battles will lose donations.They're afraid the "Medical MJ" lobby was going to constitutionally challenge them ("You don't make insulin injectors go outside......you're discriminating.") so they thought they'd prempt it and sneak this along. They tried this with the teacher union payouts and blew up in their face......v2.0 here.

Yes they invoke the word to define a large group......sorry my bias got in the way.

Why is "horde" OK? It implies they are rabid savages, a mindless army raping and pillaging as they expand as opposed to an individual who is sexually liberal.

My gut instinct? Nope. I just question this gov't for the realistic screw-ups they habitually perform, not the extrapolated chicken little scenarios that people on both sides of this forum tend towards.

Saw her on Question Period......seems she is lobbying for a McKay comeback. [dramatized] "If there's anyone out there not part of the party/caucus (hint hintl and they feel they can run this party....come on down." "Peter's speech the other night was amazing."

I can't find it explicitly....hinted at alot though....my source is a friend secondary teacher. It was bone headed not to attach traceability to it but when you are sweeping the shitpile under the rug you don't spend much time counting the turds.The problem with letting the lawsuit go is it would sour any future negotiations as everyone would see how they bungled the legislation. I'm guessing they thought it better to look like they were charitable to the union than a sneaky, duplicetous union busting legislator.
