I just imagine the dumbest thing someone can do in a situation and model for that.
Icy roads? Well, the logical thing to do is make sudden moves at the last possible second without leaving a buffer. Stand on the throttle at every intersection, and start braking when you normally would in the middle of summer, of course.
Honestly, you learn to predict unpredictability. Slight movements will tell you when someone is going to change lanes without a shoulder check or cross three lanes of traffic to make an exit that they could just have easily gone on to the next interchange without endangering themselves and others. Hell, I watch peoples eyes in their side mirrors look at me as they incorrectly judge how much space they have to insert themselves in front of me, when there's a kilometer of space behind me they could use instead.
I wouldn't replace existing, non-leaking copper. It should be fine for a long, long time. But I wouldn't spend a lot of time trying to stay in copper for new stuff. Use a copper-to-pex sweat fitting where you need new stuff, and go pex from there. The supposed benefits of copper (which I don't really buy) aren't worth the hassle of dealing with copper fittings and the extra work for routing.
It goes from the refineries in Edmonton to where ever it's going. Even if you had a refinery onsite, you need to get the crude to another province either by truck, train or pipeline. Moving it thousands of km isn't free, despite whatever passes for your economic knowledge. That's why gas is almost $4/L in New Zealand, to use an obvious outlier to illustrate the point.
Yes, BC has higher fuel taxes. But your supposition was that "If gas taxes have no impact, the price of gas would be the same in BC and Alberta." Which is utter and complete nonsense.
I was. Livesuit wasn't long. Maybe that should have just been an interstitial novella? I see it listed on the wikipedia page as a "novella" not a full-blown book.
Actually, it isn't even most of them. I live in rural AB, there's a lot of anger over the separatists shitting on the legacy of our grandparents that fought and died for Canada.
Daniel McKay started CopperheadOS and then moved to GrapheneOS when the deadbeats he partnered with screwed him over. He is the sole founder of both, and the other asshat has been grifting around ever since.
This is like Musk saying he was a Tesla founder. Utter bullshit except for some agreements that rewrite the true history of the company because he paid to be called a founder after the fact.
An abstraction layer that reverse-engineers the Windows GPU and kernel syscalls and runs on a completely different operating system does better than the native platform after a decade or so of volunteer labor, and a few years of a couple paid devs.
How embarassed would you be if this happened to something you spent 40 years building?
I want at least 15% sow twat in my polish dog.
