    Technically, yes. The bike path in the South along the C-train, nowhere near the vehicular roads remains unfinished. Not sure why, they are literally the cheapest things to put in as they do not have to support truck type weight, and the land around it has already settled because of the freight and commercial rail that goes by that area.

    I would 100% get the scooter if they simply finished off that section and let me get to the Superstore (glad they finished off the overpass) without having to use a vehicular road. Some say the pedestrian overpass was over-engineered, but I see it as a boon for scooter takeover. They actually made the pedestrian footsteps too narrow, but maybe they were just forward thinking in making gigantic ramps.

    Unfortunately I know that Superstore will never have full ramp access to their stores, because that would encourage shopping cart theft.

    I dont think its about predicting the next cycle - its about trend observation.

    Solar cycles/minimums have been correlated with global temperatures for about 500 years - yet here we are getting mass media horseshit up our noses about the earth warming up 1000 degrees and all of us dying off, while the solar cycle indicates that we are headed towards a global cooling event.
    The climate hysterics have never really cared much about science. It isn't good for their narrative.

    Worse, its often of a case for misleading or disproved science with regards to CO2.

    The Inconvenient Truth hurts - but because thats not the mainstream narrative, and people are too stupid to realize they are being emotionally manipulated, the drama continues and nothing benefits the average middle income earner in any way. Just more 'carbon' tax, disguised as another general revenue source.

    What should be common sense is the solar sunspot number correlation to long term (decadal) cold/warm weather events.

    But, but, but, you just said in your previous post that Amazon is cheaper - why are you going to Superstore then?

    And btw, every Superstore has great handicapped ramp access but you wouldn't know that because of all of your Amazon shopping.
    Will fuck off, again.

    The ramps on the C-train stops are impressive. The pedestrian and bike/scooter access to Superstore is terrible. I guess I could call up Galen Weston Jr. and see if anything could be done about it without risking cart theft. I can imagine placing a $2 GPS running off a CR 2032 might be doable as effective deterrent.

    I would also suggest to all food chainstores around the world, that putting an IOT electronic tracking device on all shopping carts would be advantageous and inexpensive given the cost of electronics nowadays. Of all things, I'm stupefied as to why no one has done a "smart shopping cart" or shopping cart with a cheap tablet strapped to it.

    "Hey billionaire Weston guy" need more ramps, heh.

    Public infrastructure issues are not Superstore's problem and every one of their stores has great handicapped access. Post pictures, if you wish, to prove me wrong but I've been to every Superstore in the city and a person in a wheelchair can easily get into a Superstore from their parking lots or sidewalks.

    There are more savings to be had in eliminating ICE vehicles than refrigerant management. All modern cooling systems have pretty much mitigated their contributions to global warming in developed countries, whereas eliminating ICEs is in its infancy, globally. 3rd world countries don’t give two shits about the use of CFC and HCFC refrigerants, but I’m sure that will change long before the countries adapt to electric vehicles. For those not in the industry, many refrigerants cause more global warming than CO2 in the atmosphere by several thousand times, pound vs pound. The new mandated refrigerants do not.

    For those who actually believe our idiot federal governments can tax us into "helping".

    Before some self-loathing "lifetime oil and gas guy" comes in with his pigeon-holed rhetoric driven insults again, I don't think ANYONE says don't be better. Some people just think you can make changes the right way, instead of the fashionable way, and hurt the Country AND world less along the road to change and overall improvement. Change is inevitable, some of the pains along the way don't have to be if people had some common sense.

    I loved watching The House Oversight Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties grill the Exxon scientists who in the 70s and 80's predicted this accurately, but now it turns out coal industry scientists from the 60's did the same!!

    Very excited for the liability lawsuits to start shutting these guys down. Wont get much traction now, until the supreme courts catch up to today's ethics and morality, but as public tides are massively shifting, it's eventually going to be a well deserved slaughter.

    The liability thing is fascinating, particularly in Canada where technically the oil companies produce the resources on behalf of the government, who owns the resources, and technically, pays the oil companies to develop them.

    Is the government liable?

    Perhaps we should have let Trudeau senior run with the NEP all along. When we get sued, his kid could have just raised our taxes more to pay the fines!

    I always wondered how difficult it would be to sue NASA.

    I doubt it they didn't technically work for the government . Royalties and taxes were a pitance compared to profit . Cigarette companies were sued, but taxes on tobacco were extortion. More than profit and governments weren't sued

    They should be though, because governments enable the promote the polluting.

    First thing that needs to happen is some sort of negative consequence for anyone to even be liable for. So far nothing.

    Probably not but your chances of success are most likely minimal.
