It’s common sense that anything electric drives works poorly in colder weather. Imagine driving anywhere outside of our area (west coast) in an EV during Canadian winter. It’s actually like trying to sail the Atlantic in an old fashioned wooden boat. It’s just too risky and beyond foolish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do those living in the lower mainland even know what a “block heater” is? Of course they don’t. That’s why EVs work good here. They are the best choice for this region. But for the rest of Canada a person would need to be a moran to buy one. EVs are craperolla in cold climates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because being incorporated means a small business is totally in the same metric as Walmart. Sobeys. Telus. Chevron. Etc.

Show me where those corporations have been separated from the small business in the last 9 years. It’s 500k annual income. It’s not 100,000,000. corporations never have, and never will fund government programs. They will employ people and their labour will be taxed to fund social programs. We are the consumer not the corporations. All these liberal governments across the world talk about how they’re going to “fight the power” hahah ok. 9 years later and everyone is being taken care of by the big corporations thanks to the liberal government.

Do let me know without calling friend Well I will start with the first post I quoted from you yesterday if you really want me to get technical. I don’t need to call a friend cause I’m a real estate expert unlike you… 23 hours ago, Warhippy said: I'd argue the single best thing they can do is restrict home ownership to private citizens not companies and corporations. Restrict strata councils who refuse to allow rentals and rule with iron fists and restrict REIT stocks towards commercial and industrial holdings only while also limiting the amount of homes a private citizen can in fact own or hold That alone would free up tens if not hundreds of thousands of units over night You obviously don’t have a clue how an actual strata council works. Since I’ve been a Strata President for several years on some of my buildings I can tell you as a matter of fact that the strata council does not control rentals of units. It’s voted on by ALL owners at an AGM. Council usually consists of only 5-7 owners out of maybe 200-300 owners of a building. So they have very little control over most items other than day to day activities. Also, rental restrictions were completely eliminated on January 1, 2024 other than for 55+ buildings so not sure why you even mentioned that. As for REITs, most REITs in Canada are invested in commercial and retail properties. Some also have apartment buildings. A building with more tham 4 units is considered commercial, so it falls under the commercial umbrella. This is what REITs mostly invest in. They don’t go around buying up individual strata units or detached homes as you are insinuating. That wouldn’t be a very efficient use of their capital and quite frankly the management costs would be through the roof to manage individual properties. As for the EV stuff, it seems LaBamba has that covered so I don’t need to add anything to that. Edited May 31 by Elias Pettersson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of both worlds. Only a moran would get sucjered into thinking an all EV is the way to go in Canada. That’s marketing and not common sense. The government should be providing incentives to those who buy hybrids, and not to EVs. We will all be paying for that mistake as dead EVs are all over.

Warhippy Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 There's no investment or development of oil and gas and only pierre can save us and. Oh Calgary-based AltaGas Ltd. and Netherlands-based joint venture partner Royal Vopak have approved a final investment decision for a large-scale liquefied petroleum gas and bulk liquids terminal project near Prince Rupert, B.C. The decision to go ahead with the Ridley Island Energy Export Facility, or REEF, comes after a five-year environmental preparation and review process. The companies say site clearing work is more than 95 per cent complete and the project is expected to come online near the end of 2026. The capital cost of the project is estimated at $1.35 billion. The first phase will include about 55,000 barrels per day of initial liquefied petroleum gas export capacity, including propane and butane, 600,000 barrels of LPG storage, a new jetty and extensive rail and logistics infrastructure. The facility will be built on a 0.77-square-kilometre site next to AltaGas and Vopak's existing Ridley Island propane export terminal. In a statement, the Prince Rupert Port Authority called the final investment decision a "milestone for the Port of Prince Rupert as it marks the largest investment in the Port's history," noting it will allow for the export of liquefied petroleum gas, methanol and other bulk liquids. Prince Rupert is already the third-busiest port in Canada, following Vancouver and Montreal. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
