The Doomers already shifted their story, saying there will be an ice age by 2030 - Sigh..: https://blog.sciandnature.com/..., https://www.msn.com/en-us/scie..., https://www.popularmechanics.c...

>"Switching from Microsoft to Google is like switching from Hitler to Mussolini. Move to Libre Office or the like."

Yeah, really.

But 20 million cells? That seems ridiculous. Why aren't they using a database for something that huge?

Anyway, I had to check... LibreOffice Calc supports more than 1 billion cells from 16,384 columns by 1,048,576 rows. Hope the machine has a lot of RAM if trying to push that :)

Ach, get real. There was kilometers of ice on top of Canada just a few thousand years ago, but the melting was not caused by Indians burning oil and coal in their caves. Ice ages are caused by tiny oscillations in the earth orbit and solar activity and it will all happen again unfortunately. All our coal and oil burning may postpone it a little, if we are lucky.

Oil cartel? It was the Research Council who figured out how to separate the oil and sand economically. The oil sand mines are the world's largest environmental cleanup operation. They take dirty sand, clean it, put it back down and send the dirt to the USA and China.

My son complained about the snow in Calgary last week. So Alberta can do with some more climate change

Yup, the historical level of 60c is the Liberal gov level. The Conservative gov 1.10 level is the exception. Carney is a conservative PM of a Liberal gov - so one can only hope that the economy and exchange rate will improve a bit.

Canada is a relatively small country, similar to Italy, Spain or Poland, so there is not too much money lying around there. However, if there is a large Asian client who wants oil badly enough, then it will be funded. The Trans mountain pipeline has expanded by 3x with private money since it was built a few years ago with public money - Not a bad investment.

Sanity always prevails in the end, but it can take a while. One thing the climate doomers ignore is petrochemia - we need lubricants, waxes, adhesives, coatings and polymers which almost exclusively come from oil. Burning oil is kinda stupid, since there are better uses for it, so it is a problem that will eventually solve itself.

Some Albertans have voted with their feet - I left Canada in 2009 and the CAD exchange rate just keeps getting worse, so I am not wealthy or dumb enough to go back.

Real geological climate change and the climate change scammers who made an industry out of ripping people off with their doom and gloom stories and ass backwards regulations, is not the same thing.

Dunno mate, the average Aussie is prolly more literate than the average Sloshdatter.

So what is the problem then? They should just out a link to the old site on the new site and let people vote with their mouse clicks

Some people have still not gotten the message that the climate scam is over, but maybe they should listen up. Technology changes for the better over time. Energy equals growth and prosperity and we will generate it one way or another, without the need for doomers and scammers.

>"It can very well be true, though, that one government entity is not allowed to share personal data with another government entity."

It could be. But it also seems ridiculous and incompetent in this case. Both entities already know me, my address. And both know my vehicle, VIN, etc. One just knows an annual odometer reading that the other does not. Not like this is sensitive data or could be abused at that resolution.

I shouldn't assume the worst, but it APPEARS like they want to force people to try and be tracked.

I thought the UK uses kilometers
