  • No, you still don’t because having stock in Brookfield is something many people do, like Pierre Polievre. You’re making something from nothing and it’s funny because it just shows how little you know. If Pierre was Prime Minister, you wouldn’t care about him owning several houses and profiting by making policy that benefits him. You Conservatives are just bigly mad because the Liberals have someone well versed in finance and your leader is a career politician that has no policy and always resorts to name calling. Big please, keep telling us what a fiscal master you are.



  • lol… yet it is. You fiscal Conservatives don’t know shit.

    Definition of a Blind Trust A blind trust is a legal arrangement where the trustor (the person who creates the trust) transfers control of their assets to a trustee (the person managing the trust) without retaining knowledge of how those assets are managed. This setup is designed to prevent conflicts of interest, particularly for individuals in sensitive positions, such as politicians or corporate executives.

    How a Blind Trust Works Key Roles Trustor: The individual who establishes the trust and places assets into it. Trustee: An independent party who manages the trust assets without input from the trustor. Beneficiary: The person or entity that benefits from the trust, often the trustor themselves. Asset Management Once the trust is established, the trustee has full discretion over the assets. The trustor does not know what investments are held or how they are managed. This separation helps ensure that the trustor’s decisions in their professional role remain unbiased.






  • With Supervised FSD, there’s no need to touch the steering wheel. Only with Autosteer Beta do you need to keep a hand on the steering wheel, and that’s free.

    It’s also either lifetime or a monthly fee which you can cancel anytime. For my Model S it’s $11K Canadian for lifetime or $100CAD/mo for monthly which means it’d take me over 8 years to break even between the two.

    I like Supervised FSD but I wouldn’t pay for lifetime and I only really use it when I’m doing long road trips. It’s awesome for that but I don’t rely on it for daily driving. I do think it drives better than 95% of drivers out there which is impressive.

    It’s actually difficult. You can set a budget so AWS will alert you when you hit it.

    They have a price calculator that’ll calculate costs before you do anything.

    Inbound Internet is free. Only outboard costs you anything.

    Network transfers between VPC’s using private links are free.

    AWS accounts are free.

    Lambda functions are ultra cheap as you only pay for the time you use it.

    S3 is object storage with 11 9’s of uptime and it’s cheaper than any enterprise NAS.

    Basically you’d have to setup something wrong and ignore it for weeks to incur a large bill.



  • 2024 Tesla Model S Long Range. Love the 600km range in summer. Love the Supercharger network and how the computer in the car knows where they are and includes it in my trip planner. Superchargers themselves don’t ask for payment, you just plug in and everything works. Love the power and how silent it is. Love how cheap it is to maintain and operate. I honestly don’t mind the touchscreen. It’s super fast (Ryzen CPU) and once you get used to it, you barely need to use it while driving. Charging at home is super easy and cheap. I only ever visit a gas station for car washes and it’s a great feeling to never have to worry about fueling up.

    The only downside is the up-front cost for the car and for a home charger. Yes, Elon is another downside but I’ve heard that Tesla is looking for a new CEO and he only owns 12% of Tesla stock so much less important than people give him credit for.

    If not going with Tesla, I would have chosen a Polestar or a Rivian but I’ve not driven either because there are no local service centers here which affected my decision.
