Absolutely Tim. I did write an incorrect statement that both temperature extreme related deaths have been in decline for decades. I did not intend to make things better than they are or conflate things and apologize. In fact, deaths related to heat has gone up while deaths related to cold...

Here is what I know and I’m sure there will be some to dismiss my opinion because it doesn’t align with what they believe or know for themselves. I do change my mind because I don’t have the answers. I’m open to other points of view to explore and when they are well reasoned and supported with...

Bold quote related to my statement, there is not a scientific or scholarly consensus to the negative impacts, predictions or conclusions. No I can’t. If you could provide me with your sources beyond naming a search browser that has a scientific or scholarly consensus of the negative impacts of...

In terms of a global POV, Dr. Bjorn Lomborg has an interesting perspective.

Ok. I want to make this clear. I am not a climate denier. I support progress to better solutions and improvement. I do not support half baked political policies in the name of saving the planet. I care about the environment but, I don’t agree with the carbon tax policies will lead to...

OK. However, there is not a scientific or scholarly consensus as to the negative impacts, predictions or conclusions this is having to the earth. It can be argued there are positive effects of having more CO2 in the atmosphere. It can also be argued and debated the climate is not a delicate...

For one, have a better understanding of the issues that are impacting all of us. From my experience, the best and the smartest people are not necessarily the same people making the decisions that affect our lives. And those making those decisions, are selective of these expert opinions to...

I don’t agree with the statement that you can only question things that you are qualified to question.

Brian, Understand your reasons for skipping through. If you suffer through, I believe Scott Tinker shows a perspective of global energy demands and reasoning. And doing so while reframing energy definitions that I find interesting. IMO, during his opening remarks, “science is a process...

I enjoy the posts and debate regarding EVs, climate, politics etc. I griped about Canada’s carbon tax and there was posts regarding, what are the alternatives. It’s a good question. We can critique what government is doing and disagree with how they approach issues such as climate change...

Think of it as a two wheel quad. Great trail bike with light clutch. Very easy to ride. Easy to maintain. It was one of my first bikes and loved it. Floated on sand and loose stuff well. It was essentially the mule of any trail riding we did.

He’s checking the temperature. NDP can’t ride the Liberal train to the end of the term and let Trudeau call an election. It’s the only power move the NDP has. Will it translate to more seats with an election for the NDP? I doubt it. Everyone knows that access to dental care and...

Can’t remember the last time I became a site supporter. Sent an e-transfer and email. Use the funds to keep this place going or take it or a portion for ride for sight. up to you. If I remember correctly, there was a site supporter link. Didn’t see it on my tablet view? Maybe have annual...

I wouldn’t change from the Volks to any of the remaining choices. VW over the Mazda for sure. Other than EV petro savings, don’t see the benefit of switching the VW to Korean. None really provide more versatility/utility over what you have. Thats just me. It’s Monday. Just returned to...

Our Forester gets about 7.5 to 8 L per 100km in mixed driving. Just under 9 L per 100 km in winter. 10 to 11 L per 100 km when towing the pop up and loaded for bear. Kayaks, bikes, water tank, fire wood and propane tanks full along with gear. Decent power and pretty bulletproof. It’s our...

If I don’t get a good vibe from a prospective buyer I’m selling to, I don’t engage them. They are not my friend or family. I owe them nothing other than my ability to post the facts of what I’m selling and price it accordingly etc. Selling a vehicle of any kind, there is more to just an...

There was a time not too long ago, if you wanted to drive your petro powered vehicle from London Ont. to Toronto or Windsor, you kept your tools in the trunk and your navigator brought extra panty hose just in case that piston powered machine blew a fan belt or needed a road side fix for...

I’d be interested in comparing this vs a Kawi 400RR. The Kawi would need a flash to bump output to euro standards and void the warranty. I’m sure the trumpet has it out gunned in either stock or flashed config but, I’d miss the sound of the previous Gen Daytona triple.

No one has petro stations at their home. However, with EVs, home charging is a viable option for many. Many EVs serve their purpose well with home charging, running around and return home.

My kid has a Subie Crosstrek and I have a Forester. The Forester gets better fuel economy. I put a class 3 hitch on and it tows our pop up and kayaks on the roof rails without issue. Well out of warranty being 2018 and 165k. Wife loves how it drives and visibility etc. No mechanical...
