God why does the next election have to be nearly a whole four years away

Because many people already have a Discord account, and adding a sign-up on the site is a barrier to entry.

Why Discord instead of just a forum on the website?

Harris was worse than McGuinty and Wynne combined.

Why was Wynne worse than McGuinty, exactly?

Everest College definitely existed before McGuinty was in office. It doesn't get more diploma mill than that.

People need to fight against this gov. At the same time, commenting on these registry postings does fuck all. The comments against the bike lane removal bill were massive and persuasive. The Ford gov still gets away claiming people want this

As a resident in this place, it won't happen. Not because it's a bad idea, and not because it's dangerous.... Grid tie solar like this is only really interesting (aka, something you want to do) to offset your electrical costs, so it's only really interesting for lower or middle classed people....

All the people with lobbying power, who would never benefit from this.... You know, the ones who long since bought and paid for the various branches of the government, and have the MPs on speed dial..... They don't want this because it will "look ugly". They'll use all their power and clout to stop this before it becomes a thing, just so they don't have to look at it when they look down on us.

Grid tie inverters won't deliver power unless they can detect and sync to the grid. If the grid stops working (power outage) and there's no grid AC to sync with, then no power is delivered. It shuts off for safety.

You're not at all. For some reason the federal petition takes you to e-mailing you MP and (in my case) goes on to message about changing Ontario legislation.

When you feed into the grid, your power has to match the frequency and phase of what on the grid.

If the grid is down, your solar system has nothing to match to and will not send power into the grid.

It's a progression. Wynne was worse than McGuinty, Ford's worse than Wynne, the next one will be worse than Ford. And someone will come along and say the same thing about them that you're saying about Ford, which is the same thing that was said about Wynne, McGuinty, Harris, etc.

Same headline, worded differently. Better?

I would say that setting the stage is objectively less corrupt than taking to the stage and acting on it.

Honestly, I don't know how I feel about solar backfeeding into the grid. There's a lot of safety regulations to get right, and I wonder how it works in a mains power outage? Are all the lines partially electrified with everyone's solar?

What people can do right now, is install solar with a battery, and instead of making the extra energy the power company's problem, you just draw less power from the wall instead.

With a battery alone you can also take advantage of time-of-use billing if you charge it up at night when there's excess grid capacity.

Nothing more dangerous than an intellectually challenged narcissist. I'm never laughing at an idiot again, they're horrifying.

While I agree with you, Canada's history isn't exactly full of times that modern Canadians rebelled against injustice by their government (except for the indigenous people) and extracted wins.

It was more often than not a peaceful protest, the government cracked down hard, and that's about it.

this goes back to people talking about fleeing the country. the folks doing this stuff is global and you are going to have to fight it no matter where you are.

He was the first to allow diploma mills?

I hope they always keep their love and support for all the letters. They could do it a little better tbh. That poor gay indigenous kid out there should have someone in power giving a fuck about him. God knows Conservatives never will.

They also gotta remember all the other issues as well. They need to highlight the issues of the workers instead of letting christian nationalists pull them into culture wars.

This country even elected an evangelical christian prime minister who was forced to swear never to touch abortion and marriage equality. Is there room for improvement? Sure. Majority of the country is overall better than it used to be. For now, cost of living and housing has to be their focus otherwise they are not winning and forming government any time soon.

Authoritarian shit.

FYI: In the US, there is a federal push for this, too.

Doh! I’m an idiot. Thanks!!

If he had kept license validation we would have:

1. More insured and licensed drivers

2. Fewer hit and runs

3. $8B less debt.

But hey, we're all stupid, the Therme spa will generate BILLIONS.

That would be an improvement IMHO.

@MisterD I'm all for plugin solar, but I can't sign 3rd party petitions that harvest personal details. I would sign the federal one if/when it reaches the parliamentary petitions site.
