Sourcing and manufacturing the battery is terrible for the environment,but they would never use that as a metric because all of the car companies use those batteries for their electric vehicles, and the government is all-in with every car company that produces an electric car except Tesla. They wouldn't want to admit that their darling EVs are worse for the world than fossil fuel-powered ones.
Yes, I'm in Ontario and I had no problems at all registering about an hour ago.
I signed up - I'm in Ontario - but I use a VPN. Maybe try that?
My sister-in-law died of this in 2007. She was 42. She had fought it for about 4 years before she died. It is not a fun cancer to have - in her case she had to live with a facial deformity due to the tumour removal for 4 years before it spread to her lungs and killed her.
She never smoked or chewed tobacco or anything. I don't think she had any risk factors.
It could just be because of Spring. There are always a few weeks where everyone goes outside and enjoys the weather before it gets too hot.
Yeah, the UK reported yesterday that he quit after one day. The US press is implying that he was fired because of the investigation into his old company, but if you read the words it just says he left "amid" the probe, not that that's the cause of his leaving.
I read that in the sing song voice - "play-ay..."
And then the Toronto Police had the nerve to say it was a murder-suicide and they wouldn't investigate. So corrupt.
That's interesting. Before he left everyone was telling us how unfriendly the Japanese were and how they don't like Westerners, but his experience has been great. He already has a big group of Japanese friends. I don't think he's spent a single evening alone since he arrived in early April.
Oh haha, yes, I've posted before about it. It's been a major part of my family's life this past year as we waited for the borders to open to students, at least.
It's great that you're not out of your jobs. The closed borders are just terrible, I can't imagine how hard it is for many businesses and schools right now.
I just wish Canada were more like Japan in many respects because life sucks here right now. Our Prime Minister is advocating that people shun the unvaccinated, calling us misogynists, racists, and sexists, and asking if we should even be tolerated. We can't leave the country at all legally.
My son is having the time of his life at university in Osaka and it's such a relief to have him be in a country that doesn't call for his banishment from society. He barely left the house for the past 2 years and now he's out every single day, going for dinner, etc, with his friends and just living life normally. He never wants to come back to Canada.
True, but at least they don't have vaccine mandates and aren't punishing people for not getting vaccinated. They opened up the country to student and business visas in March and my son was able to get in to go to university despite not having the covid jabs. He had to stay in a hotel for quarantine for 3 days but was allowed to leave for food whenever he wanted, so he went to the supermarket, etc all the time.
His school hasn't mandated the vaccines for anyone. The government has issued warnings that businesses, etc. not discriminate against the unvaccinated. His school had technically mandated masks but no one there cares if you wear one or not, there is zero virtue signalling over it.
Compared to Canada where he came from, where he could not use public transportation or get on an airplane, even to leave for 4 years (we had to smuggle him out to the US to get him on a flight) and where all students have to be vaccinated to attend university, Japan is a breath of fresh air.
The border closures are terrible and I pray they open up soon to tourism, etc., but day-to-day living in Japan - my son hasn't experienced freedom and lack of judgement like that in 2 years. Canadians are particularly judgy and virtue-signally, though, so perhaps it's a low bar.
The guy who did the study is a terrible lefty. He's been known for years to suck at his job.
He had to resign from advising the ontario gov on lockdowns because he was getting paid by the teacher's union to recommend lockdowns.
That's okay, thank you.
Same situation except my brother is too far gone to ever leave her. It would definitely make things easier on the entire family if he did. Plus, my Dad pays for her degrees - he gives my brother money and my brother spends it all on her, much to my dad's consternation -but that doesn't make him stop giving!
Lots of emotional blackmail involved all around, unfortunately.
Seems to be, but he would never admit it if he wasn't. It's not a balanced relationship.
My Sister-in-law is one of those people - she has multiple Master's Degrees, it's like a hobby for her in her fifties to acquire them (she doesn't have a job, either, so it's for no real purpose but bragging rights), and she has told me in the past that she believes that when you acquire new knowledge your brain pushes something else you knew out of it to make room for the new stuff. Like, she thinks it's a 1-in-1-out thing.
So, yeah, not the most common sense lol.
This has been a big problem for years now. I have to vote on all of the shares the foundation I work for owns, which is a considerable amount, and one of the instructions from my boss is to vote "no" to the election of any board member who doesn't own a substantial number of shares. It's really important for a board member to have an investment in the company they help navigate.
Having done this for about a decade now I see that so many board appointees are simply people who know people, people who can grease palms, favours, and not people who have a vested interested in running a company responsibly.
Yes, that was stonetear who worked for CrowdStrike, wasn't it? He said it was for a major VIP, and everyone thought Hillary but then some people started speculating it was actually Obama.
Here's a short, old thread about it:

I don't know anything about this Elon Musk's mother but these poses say more about the photographer and/or the publication than about her. Models do what they are told, they pose how they are directed to pose. The publishers decide what they want and choose the cover/ad/editorial photos.
Didn't Elon spend many of his formative years on his grandparents' farm in rural Saskatchewan? I think that's probably a solid basis for some good core values.
Excellent article! Love Viva Frei and Keith Wilson. They are true freedom fighters in Canada, along with Brian Peckford.
WWF is very corrupt. They have ties to Soros and leftist groups like the Tides Foundation.
They also traffic in ivory and poaching in Africa while simultaneously "cleaning up" those same things. Their poachers have ties to the CCP.
They are also tied in with the Trudeau government Trudeau's best friend and closest advisor, Gerry Butts, used to work at the WWF and there was a scandal when it was discovered that they were still paying him $400k per year after he quit them and moved to Ottawa to work with Trudeau. Butts also charged hundreds of thousands of dollars in moving costs for his move from Toronto to Ottawa and the Canadian taxpayer paid for it.
Hey I suggested co-ordinating tweets and posts on Reddit and other platforms so we all flood them at once about a year ago and boy was I ever attacked for everything from even just using a social media platform to being accused of luring our people there to get their information stolen.
Just wanted to pat myself on the back lol.
