I do wish it had a self hosted docker though. I could see Proton mail and thunder mail adopting it that way, which would be neat.

Well Alberta doesn't even pay a PST, I can't see how that can be the case.
China makes a hybrid for 14k. I'm guessing we will have those retaliatory tariffs from China in perpetuity to protect this, and protect ourselves from lower prices.

Heres a document from the BoC that outlines how QE causes wealth inequality in the short term, as asset prices rise. In the long term unemployment falls, and wages rise from greater wage pressure. So according to this study the created wage pressure reverses the wealth inequality caused by QE.
We did 4% population growth via mass immigration and allowed students to work 40 hours a week to forcefully decrease wage pressure, reversing the temporary labor shortage that existed before the Bank of Canada hiked rates, entrenching the short term asset inequality. Though as the Bank of Canada raised rates to cool the economy, and to bring down inflated asset values, we obviously now have a surplus of labor.
I still think DOGE is just feeding all that information to Palantir, and everything else is a pretext to that goal. They want an AI embedded directly into the government, making a large dependency on it, and bypassing checks and balances quickly has allowed that to happen.
What tech are we talking about here, theres a billion different pieces of software out there all doing drastically different things.
“Here’s how the play is likely to unfold in the weeks and months ahead: Carney will be elected Prime Minister on April 28 by a comfortable margin; [Alberta Premier Danielle] Smith will trigger a constitutional crisis, providing cover for Carney to strike a grand bargain that finally resolves longstanding tensions between the provinces and Ottawa; and large infrastructure permitting reform will fall into place. Protests against these developments will be surprisingly muted, and those who do take to the streets will be largely ignored by the media. The entire effort will be wrapped in a thicket of patriotism, with Trump portrayed as a threat even greater than climate change itself. References to carbon emissions will slowly fade…
In parallel, we expect Trump and Carney to swiftly strike a favorable deal on tariffs, padding the latter’s bona fides just as his political capital will be most needed.”
Heres one theory. A separation crisis allows us to displace Russian oil globally and drop energy prices, which is why Trump gave manufacturing a 250% greater tariff than oil and gas, which caused other provinces to vote for Carney en mass since they thought Pierre would side with Alberta and not do reciprocal tariffs to protect manufacturing.
Alberta takes a large hit on its energy exports to the US since it is land locked. Opening up LNG from BC and Alberta to the coast allows it to derive revenue on the global market, which should help when oil prices fall globally due to Trumps actions. The Canadian dollar tracks crude oil prices, so if we dont open up alternative export markets we will be taking a series of hefty haircut, as the US also devalues their dollar to increase domestic production.
As far as safety, deaths are laughably low from Nuclear. Hydro has had significantly more casualty, thousands of times more.

Its also called Capital shallowing.
Capital shallowing refers to a situation where the amount of capital per worker decreases, often due to falling wages that allow firms to substitute people for capital. This phenomenon can lead to a decline in productivity, as seen in the UK where falling wages allowed firms to substitute labor for capital, leading to capital shallowing.
Here's what I found.
