The CBC just reported that Alberta is on the upswing and that it will be the force driving the Canadian economy.

Again.

Well I am happy for you guys.

Clearly the country is going in the right direction thanks to a staunchly conservative approach.

Yep, it sure does. It'll just encourage more automation leading to fewer jobs. And talk about such magnanimity. A 24% wage increase over two years. Gonna be fun seeing small business try and swallow that increase.
Funny how no Liberal policies actually involve the worker/taxpayer paying LESS in taxes and/or "fees" so they have more money in their own pocket. No, this wage increase is just an attempt to get more taxes going into the coffers and quite frankly, it's about damn time those shiftless minimum rage workers started contributing their fair share, dammit!

Only the people under 25 really are crazy about this.

Half my city is literally minimum wage employed, and business's are still refusing to pay overtime, even now. This will only guarantee more stress for people.

Your going to start seeing a trend of people being laid off and rehired just so that companies can skirt around the regulations.

Sudbury is on track to become the Detroit of Canada.

Nonsense, sir! Clearly Nunavut is poised to become the. . . umm. . . muscle. . . that pumps the Canadian economy for a century to come!

At some point, the various territorial, provincial and fed gvts will get moving on resource development in the north.... That will be the onset of a massive economic engine likely to dominate the nation for decades

I seem to remember mentalflogger saying many threads ago the economy doesn't matter. I guess that was before he found out the news about ontario.

Do engines onset?

I believe they do with respect to compression combustion types like diesel, the compression stroke could be characterized as onset of fuel ignition, in the case in question the fuel is obviously bullshjit, this may retard the onset of ignition and or retard full bank combustion, especially so in multicylinder engines of the Ontario type.
