I personally went with Ecobee because they’re the most Canadian option I could find. Head office and I’m sure majority of product development is done here in Canada. The smart cameras were made in Malaysia rather than China too, which is a plus

Haha good ol interface confusion. I use ‘Arctic’ on iOS, looks a tonne like the Reddit style

And them cornering the market is exactly what we do not want. Because they take over the market then they have all sorts of leverage politically, it supports all the knowledge in batteries over there, and with competition reduced they could increase prices via not subsidizing down the road.

We want Korean, Japanese, European, etc because it supports our allies industry and we’d like some of them to produce parts or finish vehicles here in Canada so it also aids our own economy. Heck, wouldn’t it be great for some domestic option to show up again.

I was replying to someone who suggested removing Chinese EV tariffs.

The enemy of our enemy is not necessarily our friend. This applies to China, they want to annex Taiwan for example and should be economically avoided

Good to know, Polar shall be my Garmin replacement I recommend going forward. I was otherwise also recommending Suunto

Yup, I was not impressed at all reading the headline on CBC, but this seems to be an olive branch considering the invitation to discuss on Thursday. So reasonable moves here

Absolute bozo move to not go for this in retrospect. They need to give this a look again asap

This is a great way to make your vehicles unsellable outside the US, smart thinking

Folks need banking, if people stopped using these US based banks they would use Canadian ones (or those from other countries? No idea who else has banks here). There would then be pressure on the other non-US banks to have more branches to service the additional people using their services. So theoretically same number of employed people employed, just under non-US banks.

Most of the continents on the fringes of the map, so far far away. What a wonderful place to be with all the drama happening round the world

Asking the US to do anything for us doesn’t sound like a good plan, they’re no longer reliable.

Hopefully the extra enforcement around ‘fentanyl crossing south’ in practice is used to prevent unwanted incursions in both directions, namely guns north.

Thanks!
