It will be far simpler on electric trucks (although it will probably hurt frunk capacity). On ICE trucks with a huge engine, rad and ground clearance, it's difficult to package for pedestrian safety.

Back to stupid government regulations. Call things a truck and everything changes. Emissions change, pedestrian safety changes, etc. That's BS. If regulations are to ensure pedestrian safety, you should have to prove why you need an exemption. Just because is not a suitable excuse...

If you put aside the fear of riding in traffic (which is real and justified), you don't need much fitness to ride downtown. Often speeds are low and you get frequent breaks at lights. Ime, it is less effort than walking a similar route. Obviously, in some locations there are hill climbs that are...

By the time you bring in enough staff to cover 10 days for each employee, that is a huge payroll bump. Big win for the union. Big loss for CP. Sadly, it needs a grenade at this point. Losing close to 1B a year before this and headed south quickly. VIA also needs a grenade as their recent losses...

They are also socially acceptable for a wide range of incomes/jobs. A real estate agent can't drive a Kia but people are happy with them if they drive a truck. Lots of the big money crowd that used to have fleets of range rovers have replaced some with trucks as they are more reliable. And we...

Sadly that is a polar opposite to union ethos. While maybe helpful in theory, they all seem to quickly degrade to least possible effort for most possible money with largest payroll the union can leech off.

The author wanted a wholesale change in operation. No more door-to-door delivery within CP as a start. With changes like that you can burn a ton of jobs. Whether that goal is helpful (yet alone politically palatable), I don't know.

You need to be working and income under 150k to get a cheque. I don't get a t4 so I suspect I don't qualify.

It doesn't sound like I will get it. Thousands more in interest payments on my mortgage (when compounded over time), zero cheque. Idiot.

Ouch. This author recommends CP go from 55k employees to 15k. I don't know how that could happen with a union. Probably simpler to let CP stay on strike forever and spin up Canada Delivery as a new company with the same mandate but no legacy costs. Transfer properties into CD and move on...

Decent article on the cesspool and future. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/canada-post-went-on-strike-and-no-one-cared

My friend that likes yachts has had a 285ssx for a few years. It's OK. Longest he's owned a boat. Single engine but exceeds.55mph, handles reasonably well and is trailerable. I don't like it but I didn't like his floating condos either and they couldnt be trailered without paying for help...

Not anymore :/

As it should. Cheques in hands make more people vote poorly than a credit on a future return. Like the marshmallow test, I'd rather we had a choice. Log in to your cra account and choose whether to get a $250 cheque soon or $300 refundable credit on 2024 tax return. I'd take the credit as would...

I would hope we aren't paying for them. I know on some other certification programs manufacturers need to provide reports, a few sample products and a fee to get into the system. I expect vehicles would follow a similar path but have zero faith in any government program being efficient with...

As for the other thread. Not a done deal no matter how the libs try to sell it. Sounds like Singh may pervert justice once again to burn more money though. "Singh said the NDP will work with the Liberals to temporarily lift the logjam in Parliament to get the bill through in a single day before...

There you go with an idea that may actually help again. Every idea must be virtue signaling only with the smallest possible chance of actually benefitting the average citizen (and bonus points if it helps no citizens).

A bike is far faster than a car in Toronto without bike lanes and obeying all laws. Bike lanes and ignoring some laws makes them way faster. In Toronto proper (not the old burbs like Scarberia), cars and TTC average close to walking speed. I agree with you, I still think bike lanes on secondary...

You expect a single thing he does to make sense?

Still messes up the bookkeeping. You collected GST when you weren't supposed to. I guess if you remit to government they won't care but you're dealing with idiots. I wouldn't want CRA all in my business seeing what other shortcuts I took in my accounting.
