Thank you. I'll examine it a bit more, even if it's a big one to take in I think I can do it.

Hmm, thanks. This gives me some things to think about. I'll research SK a bit more in light of this. Ive been considering Regina as well, but not as seriously as south 'berta.

How does 'berta overall compare to BC these days? There's a lot of hidden costs in B.C, and everywhere.

I was thinking of moving to Berta, but would be interested in knowing what their bs hidden costs are, since every place has their own weird brand of grift and weird shit.

A few for BC are:

  • Used car taxes
  • $10k property tax
  • High fuel tax
  • Higher housing costs

In berta my understanding is home energy (electricity and heating fuel/nat. Gas) would be more. The insurance being totally out of hand is new and unwelcome info to me. Info and opinions would be helpful.

While I'd like to see this shit canned, as another reply worded it, I would not take Phil at his word on this.

Plenty of times in the past companies have made denials when plans have leaked out, then just go ahead and do exactly what they denied (policy change, product launch, etc.).

We'll see what eventually happens.

This is what I thought when micro transactions in paid games started around 10 years ago. I was wrong.

Ubi will pull the classic pretwnt it was an accident, then in two years slowly roll it out. People will kick and scream, but still buy their shit. Then it'll become normalized and slowly get worse. Next gen of kids growing up used to this won't know what the big deal is when we complain.

Same cycle over and over with all kinds of stuff over the past 20 years.
