I must have missed the part where there was definitive evidence that anyone was compromised. I thought this was still an investigation.

If this has progressed to the stage that the evidence is strong enough than sure the names should be released, but I didn't think the investigation was at that point.

The alternative is the list of names is released and then it later comes out that a few names were actually innocent but it's too late to take it back because that incorrect news being public will have ruined their chances or reelection.

I would love to see the math behind that. Typically it's a case where someone is effectively paying 25% of their income to taxes, but because they are too lazy to actually understand how taxes work they are easily convinced it's well over 50%

If gamers weren't so against it, honestly NFTs could actually be that thing.

When I was carless I depended on my reusable bags. Plastic bags were so annoying to walk or bus with.

Of course it will. The low rates are only in some ways part of what caused the problem.

The problem on a whole is going to continue until either municipalities start to allow higher density construction or the provinces step in and force municipalities to stop putting up red tape.

Any one who assumes that another party is going to blanket support a non-confidence vote doesn't understand how minority governments work.

These are times when other parties have the leverage to influence what bills are being passed.

If things got bad enough that no other parties agreed with direction then ya we would be heading to vote, but realistically things aren't that bad right now, they could always be better, but it's not bad enough to just throw away leverage.

I looked it up and it seems like the survival rate of new businesses is about 78% in the US.

https://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2024/1-year-survival-rates-for-new-business-establishments-by-year-and-location.htm

The first year seems to be the hardest and each year after that survival rates get better and better.

This data suggests that after 10 years nearly 35% of business are still in business.

How many new business fail?

I think that just shows you don't understand how to read statistics.

We don't need to even do the math ourselves. It's already be done countless times and the results are always the same.

BEVs over their lifespan in the worst case scenario produce less than half as much CO2 emissions than a similar sized ICE vehicle.

I'm surprised you struggled with this, with so many creditable sources available this was a really easy thing to look up.

What? You're the one claiming that various metals aren't infinitely recyclable.

It's true that not all metals are, but many of them are (iron, aluminum, lithium to name a few) infinitely recyclable.

Current recycling technology doesn't really matter as it can and will improve with time as the brand new industry scales up.

I'm just here pointing out that your statements are false. That doesn't need to be meaningful to you if you have no interest in learning, but it's useful for other people who are reading this thread wondering why you're being downvoted.
