Yes!!!! IUDs are Betamax! Made by gameboy/wii company.

No, that’s UFO. You’re thinking of the cult classic comedy from 1989 starring Weird Al Yankovic.

No that's UHF, are you thinking of the main analog TV signal frequency?

Holy hilarious nerve hitting, Batman. Superman is the American way/might that simplistically pretends to side with truth and justice.

at 2% leakage rates, NG is as impactful in GHGs as coal when scrubbed at moderate efficiency for SO2. Most (by small margin) coal generators use scrubbers.

US "upstream" (wells + pipelines) infrastructure leaks more than 1%, and combustion/valves/compressors, and just satellite measurements of upstream infrastructure measures at least 2% accross US.

LNG exports to Europe (less than Asia due to shorter distance) adds 40%+ to emissions just from liquefaction process, with more energy/leakage from defrosting and local pipelines, relative to domestic coal alternatives. Specialized ship building and LNG plant construction also means more emmissions in related infrastructure.

NG does make far less local air pollution, mostly because SO2 scrubbers suck, but NG is not green energy, and its emissions are not properly accounted for.

We all see and hear what goes on over there

First, the ROK unfiltered propaganda on DPRK is as believable as Ukrainian propaganda. We all know "the pure unvarnished truth" as the complete trust in that propaganda.

The US's unjustified war on Korea was to overthrow a democratic unification election in which the less corrupt North party won. Ever since, an oligarchist duopoly has been propped up by the US, and standard of living is determined by the isolationism imposed by US/ROK alliance.

DPRK is aligned with winning future alliance, and ROK is being canibalized, like other colonies, by its master. DPRK has always been the stronger military side, by necessity, and the future is likely better for them. In your example, "why not do something about the US for actual verified first hand threats to citizens not cheering enough for Trump"?

If we are moving to the higher and higher levels of defence spending because that’s necessary, then we will have to make considerations about what less the federal government can do in certain cases, and how…we’re going to pay for it.” And while Trump appears unappeasable—yet again threatening elevated tariffs on Canada this week—the weapons and corporate lobbies in this country are cheering.

1. the ONLY military threat to Canada is from the US. Every other suggestion is a treasonous thief stealing our prosperity for US colonial warmongering force amplification. Unacceptable evil, but unanimous party unanimity on the issue.

2. The "necessity" is following Trump orders to buy US weapons, at a self destructive pace. Canada's only response to US demands to jump has always been "I can go higher than this if you give us time to gaslight our slaves". This servitude has only increased after Trump's war declaration on Canada. The reward for servitude has been increasing levels of extortion placed on Canada.

3. Military servitude is 100% part of any overall trade relationship with US. It is fact, Canada's only real bargaining chip. The US does not defend Canada in any way whatsoever, because it is Canada's only threat. NORAD defends the US, and only defends Canada in the sense that Canada adopts the same demonic propaganda evil as the US to make enemies with who the US tells us to.

By far the most inept betrayal of Canada in trade negotiations is our rulership continuing to support US military policy, including Ukraine aid, and now, actively destroying Canada, AS A NECESSITY, to pay for absurd bankrupting US weapons purchases. Canada's alliances must include Asia and Europe, and MUST EXCLUDE the US. Instead, both Canada and EU are increasing military subservience to US, and getting abused harder for the favour.

The free version already told ya... first name Mecha

It would be colossally stupid to put out a press release that tells the other players what cards you’re holding

There are public commitments that indicate betrayal of Canadians, though:

• Defense pact with Philippines is direct support for US war on China.
• G7 statement on "Iran must not have nuclear weapons", while a platitude, is direct support for all Israel hasbara (weeks/months away since 1980s) and war on Iran. By extention, support for US and their strikes.
• Ukraine aid is simple continuation of US proxy war on Russia, even as US "forces" colonies to pay for it, including most recent proposal of NATO buying US patriot missiles to gift to Ukraine. Dividing EU from Russia is US policy. Gaslighting people that US is a better ally than Russia is US domination of NATO.
• Fortress Can Am and banning Chinese investment is further tying/subjugating Ontario/Canada to US without alternatives, and resulting in punishments instead of enthusiasm for the subservience.

When Trump negotiates publicly with lies and public punishment based on those lies, the private negotiations seem not just pointless, as something Trump won't listen/abide with, but more than likely a US trick to pacify us, while we get destroyed with full complicity.

Doug Ford is a US agent, gaslighting us into US subservience and destruction of Canadian auto sector. "Fortress Can Am" is treason, and has no "Am" partner/supporter.

Future is EVs. Ontario/Canada can either decide to support more USMCA compliant auto manufacturing or threaten nationalization of US subsidiaries that don't invest more, or cut investment.

Development of rare earths, lithium, other metals in Canada is possible through Chinese investment. Investment in processing plants where Canadian companies naturally get all of the supply they can sell more affordably than through US reliance. Modern auto plants use giga presses for outer body. Motor and battery manufacturing also highly automated. Chinese investment should include manufacturing of automation in Canada for Canadian and international markets.

Article talks about affordable EVs. These can be made in NA and Canada especially through Chinese technology and our cheap access to materials. Just the motors and batteries. GM equinox is a good value car. Could be made at same price in Canada as in MX, with cheaper access to materials/components.

When Do-FF(Fossil Fuel or Fat Fuck)-Fo supports increasing dependence on Alberta and FFs, he supports energy insecurity. Solar and EVs, reduce our refining demand. Another area to cooperate with Chinese investment.

Sun, afaiu, was part of a large committee on js without any particular leadership. They got the committee to agree to giving it trademark by complaining/threatening that the name was too close to java. Sun got trademark 4 years after Netscape started support for js. ECMAscript was mostly the same committee without SUN ownership/trademark.
