  • Affordability. I can’t purchase and install my own solar system (to code level, inspected, CSA/UL approved) but I can buy and use approved installers for 4-8 times the cost of doing it myself.

    I signed up to the GHG in order to find all this out, and it’s far less expensive, even with the rebates, to just source and pay for it all myself.

    Don’t even get me started on heat pumps, that’s another part of the scam. A heat pump is basically an air conditioner with an extra valve, but I was quoted almost $20,000 from an “approved” vendorto put in a pump of an “approved” make and model. I sourced the equivalent myself for $3000 and installed it in a weekend.









  • This is pretty much the case. I farm in an area that was homesteaded late for most of the prairies (early 1900s), and that was all done with horses. I have an uncle that just recently passed away that was part of the transition to mechanical power, and their first tractor was gas-powered one since it would start in the cold. That would have been about WW2 time since he was a teenager when it showed up and they got rid of the draft horses.

    If they don’t get device trees for the Pixel 10, it’s probably not going to happen. Get a 9 of some variety and see what happens in the next few years. I don’t think the 10 is enough of an upgrade to deal with Google’s Android that won’t allow sideloading in a few months.
