My heat pump equipment is 2 years old now. I'm in Ottawa, Canada, and have had no issues for either heating or cooling. My utility bills are lower now than when I was using natural gas equipment (by about $1K/year). The federal gov't provided a rebate and loan, making it even more attractive.

Some thoughts on an MP’s role, and why reasonable disagreement within our parties is both good politics and policy so long as it’s focused on ideas.

Honesty and authenticity remain essential and we can’t shy away from sharing ideas simply because they might be taken out of context by bad faith political attacks. But we can avoid making it personal...

Spa could take 9 years.
Of course, it may never get built
5 years after signing the contract, Therme still does not have an investor to build the spa at Ontario Place
Not surprising, they lied about their financing to get the 95 year-lease on our parkland.

Also, maybe they should also institute that functionality to see where an account is posting from.

So, to recap, Ukraine and Europe understand that America has effectively endorsed a 28-point plan to force Kyiv to capitulate, set a Thursday deadline to accept it, and threatened to cut off all aid.
Now Marco Rubio says it's all wrong, that's not the plan, there's no deadline and no threat.
