Carbon Tax

In Canada we have the advantage of a tax tied to a tangible commodity. The carbon tax no matter how pie in the sky it is, it’s still based on a tanagable.

Fraud not withstanding risk is better underwritten by this vehicle. So, the bubble of hard assets (oil reserves) that we are beginning to enjoy is timely for we all. Don’t waste this moment… Use it to transform ideas to near tangibles that will endure to our children’s children. 

Update

Debt

Average household consumer debt in Canada is just over $21,000. Typically about 5% of that would be from credit cards.

Leaked dates for lauinch of flight number 5 of this space Starship have been not accurate. Waiting on Federal. FAA, approval for a launch shouldn’t be….

Starship Test Number 5: A Delayed Launch
As of September 2024, Starship test number 5 has been delayed due to licensing issues with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The FAA has stated that SpaceX must meet all safety, environmental, and other licensing requirements before a launch can be authorized.
Key Points about Starship Test 5:
* Planned Launch Date: The original target was September 2024, but this has been pushed back to late November.
* Key Objective: The test aims to achieve orbital velocity and successfully return the Super Heavy booster to the launch site, attempting to catch it in mid-air using the Orbital Launch Mount tower.
* Challenges: The delay is primarily attributed to the FAA’s licensing process, which has been more stringent due to the unique booster catch attempt and environmental concerns.
For the latest updates and information on Starship test number 5, I recommend checking these reliable sources:
* SpaceX’s Official Website: https://www.spacex.com/
* Space News Outlets: Popular space news websites like Space.com, NASASpaceFlight.com, and Ars Technica often provide detailed coverage of SpaceX’s activities.
Would you like to know more about Starship or its previous test flights?

What we would consider failure SpaceX and NASA. I have considered success for the data they’ve obtained up till this point. Spaceship Starship number 5 is still a test. However, they are being made more complex and the data should start to serve as correction with each flight that is attempted.

Time for 32 hour work week.

A simple change to the employment standards act would change the obligation and  to pay overtime by increasing it 8 hours for those that would continue to work 40 hours per week. This would add more choice and more flexibility in hiring. Increase holding taxes, and make it more of incentive to use mechanisms such as rrsp to bring down taxes and increase savings.

There are other methods of doing it however this is a static solution that can be applied quickly with great effect. This includes hiring workers that are more of an entry level and would be interested in an opportunity for overtime. Without the dynamic of a second job.

Saturday SOP, Oil

We hope that the price of oil leaving the country reflects the carbon tax somehow. Export tax this side of the border… ? There needs to be action taken with the revenue to alternatives.

Responsible is what responsible does.

Oil and water don’t mix

Unless it’s fines for non-compliance with permits.

UN crazy the world

This discourse or podcast is interesting and timely as mankind once again is considering intervention with nature as a remedy for climate matters. The notation of interdependancy between Krill and Krill eating whales strikes home.

The interdependency between krill and krill-eating whales is a crucial ecological relationship. Krill serves as a primary food source for many whale species, forming the cornerstone of their diet. In turn, krill populations are regulated by the feeding habits of these whales, creating a delicate balance in the marine ecosystem. This relationship has drawn attention due to its significance in understanding the broader impacts of climate change and human intervention in natural systems. The video we shared delves into this topic, providing valuable insights into the complexities of ecological interdependence.

We all need to contribute as much as humus is possible. Forgive me for the humour and excuse the leap from soils to whales however nutrients are returned to our lands regularly by fauna and those system developed over time and when we use technology to ramp up production oten something is destroyed or replaced with an ecological ticking timer in it.

The catch phrase “for my grandchildren sake” is trite in application because its often empty of real accountability and like all catch overused and under done. If in other words of commitment you used “for my grandfathers sake” you may find yourself in a better field of actionable pramatics.

Once again good luck. have a whale of a time.KDG

Gas in time

Decades in making

LNG stands for Liquefied Natural Gas. It is natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state, which makes it easier and safer to store and transport. This process reduces its volume significantly, making it more cost-effective to ship over long distances. Once it reaches its destination, LNG is converted back into its gaseous state for various uses, such as heating, electricity generation, and as a fuel for vehicles.

Albert and Walter

Allen and Wright

The A&W franchise in Canada traces its roots back to the partnership of Roy Allen and Frank Wright, who joined forces in 1922 to create the A&W brand, with the initials standing for their last names. The first A&W root beer stand was opened that year in California, marking the beginning of the franchise’s journey. The Canadian expansion began in 1956, under the leadership of Canadian entrepreneur Jim Read, and the franchise has since grown to include numerous outlets across the country.

Second quarter 2024

the trans mountain oil pipeline company is expected to start to move oil at three times the pre-expansion line allowed starting in the second quarter of 2024. Look forward to some increased prosperity and leverage to flight inflation for all Canadians.
