Sometimes {renv} just isnt enough to ensure your environment is controlled. Maybe {slushy} could be an option? https://gsk-biostatistics.github.io/slushy/index.html

title text of latest Existential Comics: "Remember, it is ALWAYS morally correct to bully utilitarians, so long as you derive joy from it."

So if intelligence will be like a utility will they have to lay intelligence pipes to your home?
What if the drain clogs?
Do I have to get the discarded intelligence septic pumped from time to time?
So many questions

In and of itself these bills are a good thing, but it seems bad that that we're essentially letting landlords off the hook and expecting tenants to make this investment in solar power. It should be treated like other appliances, such as ovens and refrigerators, that we expect landlords to provide. Furthermore, it's not apparent that this legislation forces landlords (or HOAs for that matter) to allow for these systems to be installed.

Canada adds only 57 MW of utility-scale solar in 2025
The Canadian Renewable Energy Association is forecasting Canada's cumulative solar capacity, which stands at 5.4 GW today, could surge to around 21 GW by 2035, driven by a healthy procurement pipeline across most provinces. Official deployment figures for behind the meter solar installations last year, which are driving Canada's solar market today, are yet to be finalized.

When the government offers to provide rebates or tax credits to low income Canadians, as recently announced by our Federal Government, most welcome the extra cash. But it doesn't address the key issue in affordable food, housing, or utilities. All of that extra government cash, provided by taxpayers BTW, gets sucked up by corporations that continue to rake in record profits. If you want to truly attack the #Affordability problem then implement laws that penalize excess profit taking by corporations. Take key necessities (food, transit, shelter, utilities, etc.) and create public options that are run as cooperatives and have controlled profit margins.
Marit Styles points out the difference between food prices at independent grocers versus the big chains. The policy position from @… on establishing a public grocery option makes sense, as long as we also protect the small independent vendors in our communities.
