It is well known that BC buys cheap power from AB, but I didn't know the extent of the restrictions to sell power back to them.

I guess competition is scary and in their mind hampers further investment? And the bout of banning wind/solar farms still defies any explanation.

It's a bad attempt at copying Nate Silver's work, but lacks any statistical quality or funding. It's something to read but in my opinion, total BS.

Nursing is also one of the few professions where they still have to pay for their own internship (going further into debt).

A doctor in training is paid while a nurse in training is not only working for free, but paying a fee to be there. Not sure if this is consistent in every province though.

I highly recommend a physiotherapist if you haven't already.

I had an issue years ago where my doctor couldn't figure out my knee pain/clicking but physio got it. He taught me how to correct for my extremely tight IT band that was pulling everything out of alignment and causing damage. Fortunately that meant a foam roller and stretching rather than surgery.

i hope this looks nothing like the sr&ed tax credit

nominal capital gains that are purely due to inflation seem like dubious tax targets (you didn't earn anything, the canadian dollar was simply worth less)... pairing this with the end of the capital gains exemption for principal residences could be interesting

honestly, real capital gains should be taxed a lot higher but inflation wrecks the math (i'd wager the 50% exemption was an attempt to account for this)

I'm disappointed that even a credit union wouldn't lend to them. Lenders can have mountains of collateral and still chicken out -- it's bizarre they won't take any actual risk.

  • spending half your day commuting
  • pretending living at home and having your own apartment are comparable
  • taking a very light course load

It would be fun to throw something random in there like term limits. I'd appreciate barring anyone who has been an MP for 20 years from running again.
