  • Specifically to answer your AC question: There’s no general law. There are local regulations that require some level of heating/temperature control. But for the most part new buildings have AC while older one’s you may need to install a window unit yourself.

    Being further north means that days are shorter so you have more opportunity to use night time lows to cool the house down. Houses are generally built to be more heat efficient in Canada. Roofs are more insulated and windows block UV light. All good for keeping the heat out during the day until you can open the windows at night.


  • Well first off the hottest area in Western Canada is the interior of BC, so between Vancouver & Calgary. The area is very mountainous so weather varies greatly across the region. Lows tend to be colder than on the coast. More snow due to higher elevation. Snow tends to melt between snowfalls. Daytime temps during winter can peak over 0 and drop back down to -10 to -15 at night. Summer highs are mid 35s.

    Vancouver: Lots of rain. Less snow due to elevation and often melts or doesn’t stick. Typically overcast. Winter lows average above -10.

    Calgary / Winnipeg: Colder winters with snow that tends to stay frozen. Winter lows can be much colder, and highs below 0. Summertime is mild compared to hotter areas.

    I’ve only visited the other cities briefly so I can’t really speak to their averages. I’ve seen it pour rain at 30C+ in Ontario. It’s much more humid than BC’s interior. But the province is also massive so weather will vary.


  • If you want to argue that I’m calling fraud laundering than fine youre correct. But I think you’re confusing the cup and ball game I’m describing for a washing machine.

    With trump, you pay him 100k dirty money, he gives you back 120k in clean money, and is happy because you said he was the best.

    No you build him 100k of work which he doesn’t pay you for. You pay your (illegal) workers dirty cash under the table. Insurance company pays you the 60% of the contract value.

    It’s a quid quo pro.




  • Just keep spinning up new shell corps with a different henchman owner on paper. That’s IF the rates get too high. The goal is to keep your goons paid so they can earn you money in other illegal ways.

    Would explain how trump keeps finding companies willing to get stiffed by him.

    Also who knows if he had an insurance broker in on it.



  • honestly trump has to be the best money launderer to ever live

    It just occurred to me that it might be possible to launder money through loses and insurance instead of generating clean profit.

    Like say he stiffs a contractors who’s both insured and in on it. They pay their workers dirty money under the table while the clean money comes from the insurance policy.








  • I love all my grandparents, but they spent their entire lives uncritically voting in conservative governments for purely religious affiliative reasons. It’s very interesting seeing the younger pair, who are still alive, coming to terms with what their end of life care is going to be.

    I have a friend who works in care homes and a lot of old people are wondering why none of their caretakers are native Canadians; those that are never stay long. Everywhere is understaffed. Nobody wants to pay close to living wage so only TFWs and immigrants can afford to work there.
