CDN-Economy & Related Factors

[pgs]

Provinces are talking about restarting the economy — but many Canadians are anxious about moving too fast

Well if I was staying at home collecting (apparently) free money , why would I not be in a hurry.

Not really crying for attention either . Not posting on every thread like some here , and my every post is not critical of a foreign government . So there is somewhat of a difference.

Oh okay. Wanna play a game? I'm in the mood for a game. Ready? This is a question game, and there is but one question, just one. Easy right? Okay, let's go, here's the question. You ready? Here it is:

Out of oh, a number off the top of my head... let's say ten. How many out of ten threads would a person have to post in, in say... one day, for you to classify them as someone who is crying for attention? Give me your number, how many out of ten threads?

I'm thinking it is a private project by a Quebec headquartered company that contracted to sell power to Saskpower
Other than that I don't know I was on a couple of Saskpower projects, we put up hundreds of windmills with only the windmill companies management team here to ensure QC on install.

Windmills?

So how how are the cancer treatments going?

No I do not want to play your games . Have a nice day .

That IS a good question! Though one wonders if there is not some sort of specialized training needed to erect a 260 tonne tower
with those HUGE wind blades in a notoriously WINDY place like Saskatchewan?
Can you imagine if they got the stupid thing half up and a wind gust knocked something HEAVY loose?

We've put up hundreds of them, even lost a crane to plow winds on one project, usually the engineers are here to make sure they are installed within their specs to warranty them.

What has that got to do with COVIDD-19?

And where did the engineers come from? Another province where head office was located?


And WHICH TYPE of engineers? Those who can follow orders to produce a suitable concrete foundation DO NOT


necessarily have the ability to deal with design issues related to wind towers?



And what of all the software and such - who installed that and where they local people and etc?


The foreign devils are sometimes in the details!



The original question was about workers from Quebec - thus the interest in why they were in Saskatchewan?


And did they bring special skills to the job that locals did not have?

Quit twisting in the noose, you are in Ontario I live in the province. We had Belgium and California engineers because we were using their products. The Belgium design was Onion base design to support it and the US was a 50'x 50" culvert filled with cement base design to support them. Both were being purchased directly by Saskpower and using a local workforce to erect them, with Saskpower personal manning them. I said that the new project is private from Ont. based Algonquin Power Co.’s utilizing a Quebec based contractor.

Although the article is wrong, what else can be expected from an Ontario based reporter, the project will be alongside 200+ windmills we already erected there in 2001. and there are other 100's of windmills in this province from Gull lake to Moosomin, some of which are privately owned and operated.

First large-scale wind power plant approved in Sask.

Noose? Me? I asked for clarification of how and why there were came to be Quebec workers dealing with a wind tower



in Saskatchewan and your answer talked about workers from other places like California and Belgium and did not mention why the



Quebec workers should be in the province - though your answer does suggest that workers from other place are sent in to deal with



specialized issues related to wind tower operations as I had guessed!


If that constitutes a "noose" then it aint very tight!


And the fact that it is the "FIRST large scale wind power plant to be approved in Sasktechewan" does suggest the Quebec



workers were on site to offer training to locals!

No I do not want to play your games . Have a nice day .

I thought you were the kind of guy who liked to play games. No matter, turns out it can be a one player game.

You stressed that someone who posts in every thread here was crying for attention. Your words, not mine. I'm going assume that you didn't mean literally EVERY thread, rather you meant the more popular, trending threads. So I asked you how many threads out of ten would someone have to post in in the span of one day for you to classify them as someone who was crying for attention. Would you say 8 out of 10? Would that indicate someone who's crying for attention? Because well, there's this from just yesterday:

Oh and thanks, I am having a great day. Getting some photo editing done and some laundry. Isn't it amazing how much laundry can pile up, even during a pandemic? I got all of my baking done yesterday so that was good, even made some bread for a neighbour. I hope you're having a good day as well.

While you were doing laundry and waiting for my response I was doing my responsibility to the Canadian Corona response and charging our government dearly . Sorry to keep you waiting . Sadly I still have no time for bandying words . I must rest up for more pillaging of the Canadian taxpayer . Ain’t capitalism grand .

Oh is that what I was doing, waiting for your response? Okay then, if you say so. I particularly like your little demeaning remark concerning doing laundry. A shot because I'm a woman, that was very clever. Yay you. Tell me, do you demean all women the same way or is your misogyny saved special for those of us here? Oh wait, that's right, you're the same guy who said you wouldn't have a problem if a man degraded women you know and care about because "that's what men do." My bad, carry on.

And good for you doing your responsibility to the Canadian Corona response (could you faintly hear Oh Canada playing in your head when you typed that?) But I wasn't aware that the Canadian government paid attention seekers to post on message boards, again, yay you.

Have no time for bandying words? Yet... here you are...

Hey , you brought up the laundry , go suck eggs then

Go suck eggs? Lmao I haven't heard that one in a long time. Thanks for the laugh.

Why would saskpower want to build a bunch of expensive and inefficient whirligigs?

They pledged 50% renewable energy to offset the Carbon tax, Climate Barbie rejected the proposal but Sask. stayed committed to increase renewable energy.

Over promising and backtracking going on now saying that it falls into Provincial jurisdictions.

PM under pressure to flesh out promise to top up pay for long-term care workers

Found this interesting in the article

Trudeau's government will also be under pressure today from the Conservatives to have in-person sittings of the House of Commons throughout the crisis.

Parliament has been adjourned since mid-March, except for two single-day sittings to pass emergency aid legislation. It is to resume business as usual on Monday, unless all four recognized parties in the Commons agree to a further suspension of business.
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer is insisting that a small group of MPs must sit up to four days each week in the Commons in order to hold the government to account for what he contends is a sloppy response to the health crisis.
Until the logistics for a virtual Parliament can be worked out, Trudeau's Liberals have offered to sit one day a week, with two or three hours devoted to what's called committee of the whole, which would allow for longer questions and more thorough answers than are allowed during the normal 45-minute daily question period.

Must be an essential service?

Still twisting obviously you know very little about construction, It is a private company "Algonquin" and they are sending their own workers to construct the windmills with little to no local help.

SAY THAT IS a good question!


I suspect that a GOOD ANSWER might be that Our idiot Boy and his loser LIE-berals have been out OFFERING SUBSIDIES


YET AGAIN and SaskPower could not resist it!


We have only to look at the experience City of Toronto has enjoyed with GREEN BUSES!



Toronto is now on its THIRD TRY / third contract for Green Buses - with the previous two efforts to buy Green machines


going BADLY WRONG as the previous deals DID NOT offer either the promised fuel economies NOR the mechanical reliability


that Toronto Transit Commission sought!


But Our idiot Boy and his loser LIE-berals KEEP ON OFFERING MAJOR SUBSIDIES for GREEN JUNK!


And Toronto KEEPS ON BUYING because the subsidies make playing with green toys CHEAP!


And without the Green Toys - Toronto would have to buy MORE CRAP from Bombardier - at full price - NO SUBSIDIES!



Toronto is prepared to indulge LIE-beral insanity just so long as there is gravy in it for them!

We've had windmills for decades, the last push is to supplement where the coal fired plants are shutting down, also the Carbon taxes are killing the NG electric production. More Hydro-power isn't feasible and we signed a contract with Man. to supply power from their new Hydro-power generator.

There were numerous wind turbines providing power to farms prior to rural electrification, however the first grid-connected wind turbine in the province was installed 37 years ago in 1977-78 at the Agriculture Canada Research Station just outside of Swift Current.
