The reactor is reportedly designed to sustainably generate 2 megawatts of thermal power.

Anyone know how the power density compares to a conventional uranium PWR? In other words, are these machines substantially smaller or larger than a PWR for the same output?

It’s got no legal standing, but as many things in life, when you want to advocate for something and you want to say that something is important to people, the arguments are a lot easier to make when you have “evidence.” A bunch of signatures can serve this purpose. Could be something they could use in a legal argument. This petition could even be just a first step, to be followed by others methods or actions.

Another function it could serve is getting people engaged and aware of the issue, spreading further awareness.

Another function is getting the contact information of people willing to do something about this issue. They could later leverage that to ask for other actions that are more meaningful.

That’s not necessarily the point. Organizing political action has many components and if the IA want these signatures, perhaps they need them. This is not necessarily the same as a random person making a random petition on change.org.

Capitalism very much has large internal problems that require unending relentless work to keep from undermining it. So it’s very much a problem itself. Then the problems you highlight add to the challenge. 😂

To add to this, as result of these differences, Carney might be able to extend the shelf life of the established capitalist system. PP on the other hand is going to accelerate its decline towards more inequality, poverty and instability. So from the perspective of preserving the system itself, Carney is the guy.

Is this the sound of the ⏏️ button being pressed?

Probably related to this.

Charlie isn’t running again. 😢

It’s how I read it too. Now there’s still a question of what Brookfield would make from this and whether that’s the best way to invest this capital in Canada but that question stands with any investment scheme. There’s no way to know that since it seems all this is ideation at this point.

Doesn’t seem to be about handing over our pensions to Brookfield. It’s about some scheme to create a fund that pension plans can invest some of their money in, which directs money into the Canadian economy. Whether it’ll materialize or not, it woulds unclear. It seems like Steven Poloz initiated the idea. Probably that’s why they’re not talk to about it, doesn’t sound like much of a heavy hitter.

If you spit in the air, it may land in your face.

I’m joking. I thought you’re joking when you said it’s gov’t propaganda so I continued in the same vein. :D

I’m an absolute supporter or “a friend of CBC” and I’m doing everything I can to stop Poilievre from killing it. We desperately need a Canadian gov’t funded news media in the current media climate.

They wanted to end all wars but you see, they also support Israel no matter what. Israel just needs help so what could they possibly do… No other way.

Yeah but the orange thumb isn’t known for rationality so joke aside, I wouldn’t put it past him to escalate.

Tariffs incoming in 3, 2…

Excellent at that! ☺️

I think this post might be missing a link.

The briefings suggest that the US is willing to consider a trade deal with the EU on these terms – but it would also want the EU to limit or discontinue non-tariff barriers to trade, potentially including stringent EU product standards, including some food standards.

At present neither US beef nor chicken can gain entry to the EU market because of strict EU rules – something which has repeatedly been complained of by the Trump administration.

Let’s see, on one hand there’s chlorine chicken … on the other cheap solar, wind and maybe EVs (perhaps made in the EU) … 🤔
