That's entirely up to you.

It was nice to see the author of the piece dive in to the fact that the various Paramount subsidiaries don't always share the same goals or agree with the decisions of the others.

It doesn't have to be "per day" - it needs to be often enough that they'll be deterred from getting an EV.

Look, I'm pro-EV, but I think it's important to acknowledge that in a country as big as this one, there are going to be people with justified "range anxiety."

Oh, they're absolutely outliers.

But I'm one of them, so it's in my mind. And there are still plenty of people in rural settings for whom it'll be a concern.

“Range has improved,” said Mark Marmer, the owner and founder of energy consultant Signature Electric. “Now most cars and trucks have at least about a 300- to 350-kilometre range, which is a reasonably comfortable thing.”

When on a longer trip, a charge to give an extra 150 kilometres or so will take about 15 to 20 minutes, but that also depends on the speed of the charger, according to Marmer.

Unfortunately, that's a pretty hard sell when your work day requires more mileage than that, and you want to get home asap.

I've got to say, the CBC seems to have a really strong news team in NS. I see a lot of good work coming from that bureau.

Hell, I support the carbon tax, but I couldn't tell you how much I've paid, how much I've received (well okay, I could look that up), or what the overall environmental impact has been.

It's a good season!

Until there's something official in place, this is more of a c/Quarks topic (and has been under active discussion there since the news broke yesterday).

I'm sure it varies across jurisdictions, but I copied and pasted it from the MB website.

That's what they're saying in my province, at any rate:

Beginning in the fall of 2023 for those previously vaccinated against COVID-19, individuals aged 6 months and older are recommended to receive one dose of the new XBB.1.5 formulation of COVID-19 vaccine if it has been at least 6 months from the previous COVID-19 vaccine dose or known SARS-CoV-2 infection (which ever is later).
