Yup. I'm Bo7a.
You said 'your liberal party' as if I would ever vote liberal. Swing and a miss there. Liberal is basically an insult to me.
And then you claimed that I would somehow be uncomfortable with what you consider to be the truth. If that isn't plainly passive aggressive tone then I am a wombat in need of a martini.
All I was asking was if you thought of run-of-the-mill canucks as right-wingers, or if you meant the govt. From that you assumed my position and blithely attacked it.
You are cute though, I'll give you that.
You know damn well that 60+% of that 45% have no idea what you are talking about if you say the words "51st state".
I am all for shitting on conservatives and liberals alike. But let's at least be honest with ourselves before smugly wiping.
I love how everyone answering this question is taking an aggressive posture like I was defending or attacking something.
Fun stuff. Thanks for answering anyway.
So, when you generalize canada in your mind right-wingers is what comes to mind? Or just the govt?
Yeah, sorry I was a bit harsh there. Sincerely. Pre-coffee commenting is never smart for me.
That person is just wrong. Language is not only fluid, but geographically distinct sometimes.
I broke up with my wife. The divorce was the legal proceeding that followed.
Oh, sweet. I have been waiting to try some of that old-timey swill milk my whole life!
Is the left wing media in the room with you right now? No? Do you know why?
Because there is no left-wing media in the US. There are varying degrees of capitalist media corps and their apologists with a smattering of actual journalists trying to get their stories out in between but mainly being drowned out.
Cut it out.
Obviously.
What is wrong with the twenty threeth?
Now I'm gonna play video games extra hard today. Fuck you, Mike.
Also - I generate more value while taking a shit than this leech has created in his entire life.
Contrary to what my wife says - My gut is not the problem!
/s
I have to wonder if you wiped after you pulled this completely incorrect factoid out of your ass. Cut it out.
You should not only read, but also comprehend, before insulting others.

Why do you think anybody owes you anything in a lemmy comment? This is seriously weird.
No red flags in demanding to know the companies I have called at all. Nope. You don't come off as insane here at all.
The closest I'm going to get to telling you where I live is to say that I have contacted a dozen companies in the outaouais region since May 2024. And the list of applicable models is available here --> https://www.hydroquebec.com/residential/energy-wise/financial-assistance/logisvert/archive-lists-heat-pumps.html
Fill your boots, weirdo.
And I already explained 'gathering data' was me calling an installer, asking about the model and writing down their estimate on a notepad. Then a day or a week later trying another. What more do you think someone would do in this case? Should I stand up a key:value store with an auto-scaling back-end and some APIs?
I am sincerely jealous.
Calling it data gathering is probably a bit of a stretch - It was mainly scribbled notes from calling a 'certified vendor' and asking them if they have any of the models on the list.
Invariably the price for the approved model, and installed by the approved installer, was at least 2x the price of getting a similar model installed by a local company.
We have booked a local guy at $2500 for an installed system that meets our needs. Where even after the rebate from QC the cheapest 'program applicable' solution we found would have been $5600 + travel for the installer.
1 in 4 Albertans believe the earth is flat, trump is a deity, and aliens are taking their field jobs.
1 in 4 Albertans should shut the fuck up.
The scummy part of the same program here in QC is that they have a specific list of models that qualify, and a list of installers. Any deviation means no rebate
I have been gathering data from both lists for almost a year and have yet to find a combo of model/installer that comes out to any less than double or triple what a properly sized system would cost to have installed outside of that program.

Anybody familiar with optician work able to tell me if this optician was lying?
Location: Canada
Background: When I first started wearing glasses the optometrist would just give me a piece of paper that I could take to any shop to get my lenses made. Then they started refusing that paper and insisting I either leave my frames with them for two weeks, or that I buy new frames.
And now it seems like even asking for the script, or the measurements, is 'against policy'.
I recently went in for an eye exam and some new glasses, and the optician said something I have never been told before.
I had asked if they could give me the prescription for my sunglass lenses since they don't deal with the brand that I prefer, and he said that I would have to schedule another appointment at a shop that deals with that brand, because the prescription was not enough, and I would also need the measurements he took.
I asked if I could have those measurements and he said it was against policy.
Is he lying to try to get me to buy new frames from his shop? Or is there someth
