What in the hell is happening? It’s like the more we progress socially the more the religious zealots get to go fucking crazy.

This makes much more sense.

The company Silk makes an excellent none dairy milk called “next milk”. It’s only 80cal per 250ml. It might be an option to explore. I’ve tried just about every non dairy milk and this one is by far the best.

Sweet. Fine them for 70 years of knowingly contributing to air pollution and climate damage.

Tax the wealthy. If we want to fix this problem money has to come from somewhere. The middle class any poor have nothing left to give. I don’t know why it’s so difficult for our government to have the spine to do it.

You get to offset gas for your car with less expensive electricity. We save about $100 or more a month in gas. Electric baseboard heating would definitely be expensive. Our oil bill was getting crazy bad, and with the recent inflation it would have been that much worse. Our heat pump keeps things comfortable at home in the winter and summer. If it gets too chilly we can use a space heater as we need. Overall per year we are still saving hundreds going electric.

We love getting the refund. After making a concerted effort to install a heat pump myself and purchase an affordable EV it helps pay for about a month’s worth of electricity each time we get it. We don’t consume any carbon based fuels at our home any longer. So it’s a big bonus for us. Next up is solar panels I think.

So how will NATO respond to Putin? Bad boy, don’t do it again!

Those kids should pull themselves up by the bootstraps. /s

It makes absolutely no sense that the richest country can’t have the best universal health care in the world. Build something that the rest of the world looks up to and not down on.

Can't say I blame her. Most of the world hate their jobs.

 

In my area we have had excellent and consistent service from NS power up until last years hurricane. Yet here we are a year later with winds far less than last year and power is out. But this has been consistent for months. Small storms and bang power gone. How does ns power keep justifying price increases when then apparently have no intention of actually fixing things and making them better? Maybe Mr. CEO and other managers shouldn’t be getting any bonuses and investors should not be getting payouts. Privatization is such a scam.

 

This is an excellent interview with Elliot. Soft spot in my heart for him since his time on trailer park boys as a kid and all through his career. He’s a fellow Nova Scotian and it makes me so proud that he has such strength.

 

We have a new rental house across the road. The neighbours have decided to put up a no trespassing sign and an F*CK Trudeau flag. Our neighbourhood has always been a mix of different political backgrounds but everyone is lovely and respectful. Seems as though someone close by called the police about the flag. It wasn’t us although we have the same feelings about it. The flag is offensive but we decided to educate our child about why the display of signs like this are hateful rather than uplifting and supportive. Since the police showed up we heard them loudly exclaim “someone has too much time in their hands”. I’m guessing it was directed at us as we have a pride flag in our front window. Shortly after that the Trudeau flag showed up. How can one approach this? We’re all for free speech. But why act like a trash human to get your opinion across?

Rant over.
