I agree, 20% is a lot. That’s why the issues raised by the separatist side need to be addressed, and not just dismissed. Justin Trudeau wouldn’t give Alberta the time of day. Hopefully, Carney will be better.

I agree with all that. I haven’t been paying too much attention. Has separatist feeling been increasing? My feeling (based on nothing) was that it was static around 20%.

I’m also the only one that actually bothered to include my source. There’s always multiple ways to compare. I would say both Canada and USA have a debt problem. Freeland resigned because the budget came in with a $50+BILLION dollar deficit, Carney’s last number was over $70B. (I didn’t look it up, the numbers may be a bit off)

If you lookup debt as a percentage of gdp

USA - 88.454%

Canada - 136%

If you compare debt by capita:

USA - $75.8K per person

Canada - $76.4K per person

I’m using numbers from here:

Which source is telling you USA debt is 30 times greater?

Why on earth would this stress you out?

You do realize Canada’s debt is higher than USA, right?

EDIT: Always worthwhile getting downvoted but no evidence to the contrary. Typical.

You admit you don’t understand extension development, but then present a conspiratorial hypothesis that has zero data to support it. How about the Researcher is wrong and no malware is being installed. Even the headline says ‘claims’ instead of ‘data proves’.

Okay, fair enough. But do you think something like this would convince someone not already committed to secession? I can see how it would be appealing to support a narrative someone already has, but do you think it actually convinces people to change their mind on the issue?

A bunch of YouTube channels that no one watches anyway. Nothing burger.

Now you’re just making stuff up.

It was my first ever Docker app, and it was brain dead easy.

Immich-frame has been on my todo list for a while. Need to get on that.

If you’re able to manage a Docker container, you could consider Immich. It works great, has client apps for iOS and Android. Open Source. I’ve been using it for a few years now.

This is our third one. I would look for one that can be serviced, is self emptying and has mapping technology.

Not cheap, but a robotic vacuum. It’s a life saver with a shedding dog.

True. Data Centres don’t need a lot of staff, but they still pay taxes which helps pay for infrastructure.

The AI data center industry contributed 4.7 million jobs to the U.S. economy in 2023 and is on track to reach 650,000 permanent data center positions by 2026, with 340,000 roles currently unfilled due to a massive skills shortage.

Data center engineers earn between $84,000 and $196,000, with senior roles reaching $240,000 or more, and power electronics specialists commanding $150,000 to $250,000 as companies compete for scarce talent.

Where I live, electricity companies are state owned, I’m guessing it’s not like that where you are. However, the taxes the company pays helps the area.

That’s on government. Set up laws so there must be a net benefit.

State laws. Talk to your representative.

Settle down Charlotte. The jobs to actually build the data center. It doesn’t build itself.

Why do you have to talk like that? Why not address the position instead? Do you think being profane makes you look more intelligent?

I think maybe you aren’t debating in good faith, you just want to shake your fist at the clouds. Which is an option, go for it.
