#CPPotD update and continuation!
Well! According to reporting from multiple sources this morning, the 68% of you who thought an election would be called this week or before the 28th were right!
Carney will call the election on Sunday!
That leaves one last question before then, so I will make this poll 3 days. Will the Election Date be April 28th or May 5.

@DavidM_yeg @chrisale Well said. This started with the Apple factory. Do I agree with how China has tried #CovidZero? Absolutely not.
This is a labour movement at its inception and at its core. God forbid the western world acknowledges that if anyone realized how much workers are exploited here too (recognizing not to the same extent). -

I just hit send on the Open Letter to the Speaker, Clerks of the House and Senate and the Chair of the House Procedures and House Affairs Committee. (and cc'ed to other relevant Ministers, MPs and Senator)
67 signatures included! Anyone can still add one on the web version.
Thanks 🙏 for helping to push this. There may be a third (and final!) push, but it will be Canada only.
THANK YOU!The #Fediverse will come to ParliamentI

Dear all Fediverse Citizens!
Please boost and sign (open to all! name and place pls) this open letter that will be sent to the Parliament of Canada. This is a followup to #e4769 petition now awaiting a formal response from Government.
This Open letter will be sent on Monday June 3rd to the Speaker of the House of Commons and other critical officers and Ministers to encourage a positive response to the petition.

This is a Canada parliament nerd question: I know the Speaker is ultimately in charge of all the goings on in Patliament to do with budget for the facilities, services, security, etc.
Question: Does this include the Senate? Or does the leader of the Senate have a similar purpose related to Senate infrastructure?
I ask so that I can properly address letters relating to petition #e4769 to the people in government who will respond and potentially make it happen. @stephanie

We're a month away from the end of the signing period for Petition #e4769! We have an excellent number of signatures but more is always better!
If you'd like to see more Fediverse servers and used by (Canadian) government in particular, this is the petition for you!
Thanks!

Just sent a truly epic email to the Freedom of Information office at the BC Ministry requesting that they release a bunch of information that they refused/redacted in my 2000 page Island Railway related information disclosure.
It was 1160 words with 11 attachments. 😂
Feeling my citizen-power rn
Though i don't envy the FOI analyst opening that up just before lunch on a Friday in June. 😇

This article (https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/electric-car-charging-network-canada-marketplace-1.7094656 )
mirrors my experience in 2022 #EVCrossCanada from VI to PEI (chronicled here: https://chrisalemany.ca/2022/08/15/saving-co2-on-a-cross-country-ev-journey/ )— in particular, some charging networks, like Petro Canada, are horrible. Some are much better. Flo is by far the most reliable across Canada that we found. BC Hydro and Hydro Quebec never let us down either. Electrify Canada and Ivy were pretty good but not perfect.
Imagine going to a gas pump and having a different price from day to day or station to station… not cents... like by 50-100% difference. Imagine if the gas pump just didn't work 10% of the time. Imagine if you had to phone customer support to fill your car?
These are all **WHOLLY AVOIDABLE** barriers that have been put up because Government has allowed the marketplace to figure out car charging on its own.
It will change out of necessity.

Alright, now we'll see how well linking back to my old Twitter archive will work. This time last year we were finally giving the Kona a bath after 16,000km of #EVCrossCanada. The one time I attempted to put the car through the carwash on the road was in Thunder Bay and I somehow managed to run up a curb. Then realized the carwash was closed. So it didn't get washed for the entire trip. This must have felt good.

This day last year was our final day on our 16,000km #EVCrossCanada trip. We proved you could reduce your CO2 on long trips by driving across Canada. We found out the different CO2 intensities for electricity in every province. I calculated 637kg of CO2. Most of that, 516kg, from charging in Alberta and Saskatchewan. A jet going the same distance would emit 103,000kg. It was appropriate I started this day charging the car while a coal train rumbled by. Full blog linked.

This day last year. 5 hours sleep and recovering from the blown tire the night before we bought two new ones for the trailer a few hours down the road in Sault Ste Marie. Also checked out the Big Nickel before leaving Sudbury. Pulled into a wonderful little motel at a reasonable hour of the evening just east of Terrace Bay above the shores of Lake Superior. We were now retracing our path.

July 16 2022 #EVCrossCanada. The day I had COVID! I started to cough on the 15th and felt slept the 16th. Eventually tested positive. It was a shame as Riding Mountain was beautiful. Thankfully it was easy to isolate and mask. I wish we stayed here longer than 2 nights but we had a set date in Toronto and a long way to go. The EV and trailer were doing amazing. The impact of the Prairies on CO2 was clear. Our CO2 emissions jumped from 2kg in BC to 274kg after AB and SK. https://chrisalemany.ca/2022/08/15/saving-co2-on-a-cross-country-ev-journey/

A year ago we were getting off the ferry to Vancouver at Horseshoe Bay on the first leg of #EVCrossCanada! I am going to try to post once or twice a day over the next few weeks reliving our journey in our Hyundai Kona EV pulling a small trailer and camping/motelling from #portalberni Vancouver Island to PEI and back! I tracked every charge for the EV and at the end wrote a blog about what it's like driving 16,000km. I hope you enjoy reliving the journey with me.
