Why I Changed Banks For The Planet
Banks are integral to our daily lives. We rely on them to receive our salaries, make transactions, pay bills, and secure loans or mortgages. However, behind each of these transactions lies a financial system that subtly influences not just our economy but also, albeit less obviously, our planet. The practices

LŠ, je suis tout Š fait d’accord avec M. Ganzer: «Ce que je constate, ce sont des manquements. Et des manquements ne doivent pas arriver dans un pays tel que le nôtre.»

"Liberal commentators are very eager to accuse the left of obsessing — and falling out — over things which, in reality, don't seem to the liberals to matter very much. They have a phrase for this: 'the narcissism of small differences.' Well, OK, we on the left do fall out over things which, seen from outside our spectrum, may seem trivial...

So this is percolating and the results so far are not surprising.
I'd vote NO, for the following reasons:
- oil demand continues to decline and risk is high we'll end up with an expensive underutilized pipeline. Therefore high risk we'll end up subsidizing any private entity that builds this thing.
- why would we invest public dollars to support infrastructure for a product where 75% of the profit leaves Canada? There has to be a net benefit, beyond steel sales and jobs, for this project to be considered.

- the B.C. government must also have a final vote as they have to give up land and provide support.
- we don't need additional oil tankers on our west coast.
- and most importantly, with this MOU, Canada pretty much declared we aren't serious about protecting the environment or fighting climate change. We're oil whores. Harsh but....

The Curated Self as the New Delusion
There is a specific, modern anxiety that is difficult to name. It is not the dread of a specific event, but a low-grade, constant hum of disconnection. It’s the feeling of living in a world that is eerily frictionless, a world that reflects your own thoughts back at you with placid, unwavering agreement. It is the anxiety of a consensus of one; the quiet, digital loneliness of being the only person in your own universe.

It's one thing to build something like this following a tutorial. It's a whole other thing to try to understand how it works. Time to dig into some data sheets and Arduino library code.
