One of Doug Ford’s first acts as premier of Ontario, just days after taking office in 2018, was cancelling more than 750 renewable energy projects, including a large wind farm that was already partially built.
Fast forward to today, and Ford’s Progressive Conservative government is poised to oversee the biggest expansion of green energy that the province has seen in nearly a decade.
I wonder how much money has been wasted compared to just going letting the original projects go ahead as planned.
Which camps are you talking about? Is it these?
It keeps promising to, then goes off into more ChatGPT-style rambling. It’s a bad article. This one is more informative:

It’s the professional software that keeps people off Linux. Particularly software for art, video and music. Not enough of it has Linux versions or Windows versions that run well enough in Linux. And a lot of people are forced to use Windows for work because that’s their company’s standard and they use all kinds of Windows-specific software.
Mentioning AI in marketing signals:
Most of those changes to mice make very little difference to regular users. And the low-priced mice most people use aren’t so different from the old ones. Wireless is a mixed blessing because it comes with having to recharge a battery which is often not replaceable. Polling rate and DPI is only of interest to niche users. Most people probably never tilt the wheel. So for many an old wired mouse will still do fine.
Anyway, Logitech’s “forever mouse”, if it’s really forever, doesn’t really fit with the idea that mouse technology evolves enough that you need to replace the mouse every few years. That said, it’s probably the subscription that’s forever, not the mouse.
In watches, smart watches are new and still developing, and some of them already have “premium” subscription services.
“Perhaps $1,000, $10,000, $100,000? But in this case, $146,000-plus, and it’s just processed on somebody’s account, where their typical billing was $118 per billing period? I’m just surprised at the lack of oversight.” City still charging NSF fee
Martin submitted a new meter reading to the City of Winnipeg, and is waiting for a new bill, but said the city is still going to charge his mother an NSF fee because she didn’t have enough money in her account for the $146,000 payment to clear.
“The first thing that they said to me was, 'Oh, you’re going to have to pay a 30-some-dollar NSF fee for this bill not going through,” said Martin.
“And I said, ‘In what sort of reasonable world would you have expected that a pre-authorized debit for $146,000 to somebody’s personal account would not go NSF?’”
What an incompetent bunch of petty bureaucrats.
“Let me just say one thing first,” Trump began. “So, I had a meeting with them. First, I had a meeting with Congress, Republican Congress. It was like a lovefest. Then, I met with them and the US Senate, which was all Republicans, 49. And it was also a lovefest, but my best meeting of the three (sic) was with the executives. And Biden’s misinformation — people put out a thing: Oh, he went on, he rambled. There was no rambling. This, you could say, this is rambling, but in order to get to the point, you have to, you know, this is a very complex subject, that a lot of people, most people don’t understand. But I just wanted to say, that that was the best meeting. They loved it. They were happy with.”
How can anyone can listen to him and not think, “This is just a torrent of nonsense”?
When Justin Trudeau was elected in 2015, he touted his government’s climate credentials on the world stage. “Canada is back, my friends,” he told delegates at the Paris climate summit. “We’re here to help.” His government rolled out a nationwide carbon tax (or as the then environment minister Catherine McKenna called it, a “price on pollution”).
But in the years since, Canada remains the only G7 nation to emit greenhouse gases far above its 1990 levels – while now also planning to extract and export record volumes of oil.
We’ll fix the contradiction by electing a government that doesn’t even promise to help.
Google takeout is there so they are technically compliant with rules that say you must be able to download your personal data, but they make it so inconvenient to use that practically it’s almost impossible to download it. Google photos isn’t a backup service so much as a way for Google to hold your photos hostage until you start paying for higher amounts of storage. And by the time you need that storage, Google takeout download has become impractical.
it’s looking increasingly difficult for the Democrats. Biden’s not impressing people, the business with Israel is putting off some of his supporters, and they’ve left it very late to not have a Plan B. You’d think that any party running an 81-year-old candidate would have a fallback plan ready from the outset, or might anticipate difficulties and run a younger candidate in the first place, but apparently the Democratic Party doesn’t look that far ahead.
Ah, Conservatives. They never tire of doing the wrong thing in their quest to hurt the right people.
