Okay, but 2/3 of those items listed in the image above, and in the previous one that circulated aren't mentioned in any articles I've seen discussing the breakdown. For example, jurisdictional preemption on critical minerals hasn't been mentioned anywhere.

Additionally, the article you linked it vague as to the problems with the cancon streaming requirements and which were the sticking point, but the infographic above makes a bunch of claims about which ones they wanted dropped/changed without any sources providing that level of detail.

I do want to note none of those are actually talking about field stats of batteries and lifespans. Its all about fears and perceptions, which is largely a stupid thing to write an article about, IMO.

The data we've started to see from the older leafs and first gen from most other manufacturers show the batteries are holding life far longer than they anticipated, based on max range/original max range.

I've got some family in the military, and they've served in Europe both before and after Trump. They said there hasn't been any actual decrease in cooperation while overseas between the US and us, and everyone they talk to makes it clear how ridiculously an order would be taken to invade.

That being said, their last deployment was July last year, so things may have changed. Also he did note that none said they'd reject the order - just how ridiculous the whole situation was. Hoping we never have to find out.

No, it wouldn't. But is the US model one we want to emulate? I'd say no, so I think we need to look at alternative methods that allow us to get our fair share of the revenue from those companies, discourage those companies from leaving to start up elsewhere, and innovate.

Add in more funding and assistance for startups, using the DST and it should help move things along. Maybe low-interest loans to new businesses?

Lmfao this is hilarious.

Canada has complex separatist movements within the country, making it difficult to effectively restrict unilateral negotiations to the realm of state-to-state relations. Its provinces have a certain ability to bypass the federal government and engage in multilateral negotiations with the United States

Just what?? Sure, you're using your three-dollar words, but in no way can Canadian provinces reach out to the US directly for trade agreements. The one province that's historically had separatist movements has entirely shelved it until this is done, and Alberta's separatist movement is a foreign-funded mess that the RCMP are investigating for foreign interference.

I'm not surprised - we've made it quite easy to move between the two countries, comparatively speaking, and one country has an enormous social safety net compared to the other, including all the fees that go along with that. Since its easy to have a US company enter the Canadian market, why would they not base themselves out of the consumer base that's 10x the size with fewer labour laws, privacy laws, and environmental protections? Add onto that the number of rich people and VC present in the US vs Canada that can give startups a skyrocket to success?

That being said, I don't think the way to compete is to lower our standards or offer additional financial payouts/tax breaks. I think we should be enforcing more things like the dropped Netflix tax, forcing foreign companies who want a piece of the Canadian market to give back to the country they're draining money away from.

Man what a shit take. "One of the countries with the highest housing costs:income ratios in the OECD, and they're still only about 1/3 of their gross income including clothing AND groceries" presented as "look at how much the big bad government is ripping you off".

I don't doubt there's waste in the government and bureaucratic red tape, but I'll take waste on that side rather than the same amount going into lining some rich fuckers pockets.

Edit: lol skimmed past this in the first pass. Clearly it must be tax waste, and not thing like regulation of stuff like the building code, health code, additional servicing/maintenance costs with public infrastructure only installed in the 70s and later, higher living and service expectations from all branches of government, longer and longer lifespan meaning higher costs associated with old age care.

No, no, that'd be ridiculous.

Chaterpedia is a great resource for us - the section 10 discussion explicitly discusses the legal situation of impaired driving.

However, such a limit is justified under section 1 because of the importance of reducing the harm caused by impaired driving

To anyone reading this, I'd remind you that local politics are THE MOST important. You can far more easily get local politicians in who are extremely progressive, and begin movement from there. The lack of parties means its much simpler to run, and most people don't even bother voting. Plus those changes can have drastic impacts on what you see and do on a daily basis.

I mean I'm not even American and I know Miranda rights only need to be read to apply to interrogation AFTER being arrested. Typically by that point theyve already determined you're drunk driving based on questions during the detention period.

refusing to comply with breath tests during a vehicle stop is against the law - I'm not aware of it violating any US rights, though again I'm not american. That'd be like refusing to stop when they tell you to
