Sparky Frozen Expensive Cars

Keep in mind that Kansas is not nearly as cold as the Canadian prairies. These kinds of problems might go a long way to explaining why a farm near my home, despite being ecstatic about their Ford Lightning when they bought it this summer, have had to park it for the winter. For those Canadians considering an EV, they might want to factor in the cost of insulating and heating their garage, if they have one.

When they set off, Steavenson said, they could drive for at least 2 ½ hours before needing to charge the Tesla. “We ended up having to stop every one to 1 ½ hours to charge for an hour, then an hour and a half, then two hours,” he said.

“So beyond the lost time, it also got to the point it was between $25 and $30 to recharge,” Steavenson said. “Just in one day, we stopped six times to charge at that cost.”

Steavenson said Hertz said on its website that renting a Tesla was “always cheaper than gas” but added that he’d found the claim to be far from his experience.

Misinformation Watch: The Week In Review

On Parliament Hill, a Liberal government that claims to be terribly concerned about misinformation — and wants to regulate the internet to make it better — is either lying to fend off criticism of its latest gun-control push, or it has no idea what it’s doing. Even as it insists it is not going after hunting rifles and shotguns, it is clearly going after hunting rifles and shotguns.

Cold Alberta Hands

Countersignal: Alberta RCMP ordered to stand down during Trudeau’s firearms “buyback” program

Alberta’s Minister of Justice, Tyler Shandro announced today in a press conference that he will obstruct the gun grab by any means necessary. His office, in a coordinated response to Trudeau, issued orders to the K-Division expressly directing them to ignore federal orders on the matter.

Ignoring Federal Orders

“Alberta is not legally obligated and will not offer any provincial resources to the Federal Government as it seeks to confiscate lawfully acquired firearms,” Tyler Shandro shot back at the federal government today [emphasis in original].

“The decision to ban over 1,500 models of different firearms, simply because the “style” of the firearm was deemed to be aesthetically displeasing, is offensive and suggests to us that you are uninterested in meaningfully addressing gun crime,” the response reads.

“Further, I am concerned that federal officials have indicated that they will direct the RCMP to participate in the confiscation program. I am advising you that I am disputing such direction or intention to take such direction, as outlined in Article 23.0 of the Provincial Police Service Agreement.”

“Finally, preliminary estimates suggest that you will need to confiscate over 30,000 firearms in Alberta alone. We believe that Public Safety Canada does not have the capacity, wherewithal, or the resources to seriously attempt this effort. And, much like the long gun registry, we believe your efforts will fail in the face of opposition from the public.”

We have exhausted what funds were budgeted for fuel with several months to go before the budget reset,” Main’s post said, according to TV station WDIV. “I have instructed the deputies to attempt to manage whatever calls are acceptable over the phone,” including “non-life-threatening calls,” “non-in-progress calls,” and calls that don’t “require evidence collection or documentation.”

The Most Interesting Man In The World

NY Post;

Hunter Biden shows himself to be a real first son-of-a-gun in the latest embarrassing personal video leak for President Biden’s scandal-scarred offspring.

A naked Hunter casually waves around a handgun and even points it at the camera while cavorting with a nude hooker in a swank hotel room, according to video provided to The Post by the nonprofit Marco Polo research group.

The cavalier clip of Hunter Biden holding the apparently illegally obtained weapon emerged amid the rash of mass shootings — and random gun violence in major cities — that included 11 incidents on Saturday and Sunday alone that left at least 15 people dead and 61 injured across the U.S., data shows.

Justin Trudeau: Canadian Handgun Salesman Of The Year

CBC;

“You get a lot of people that as soon as they announce new gun control measures, everyone wants to go in and buy a gun,” said Dan Shemley, warehouse manager of Great North Precision Canada, which sells firearms in Kelowna, B.C. […]

He says the store had sold out of all the handguns it had by noon on Tuesday.

Daybreak South producers called three other stores that sell handguns in the Kelowna area this week and all of them said they were extremely busy.

On Tuesday, a line of customers had formed on the street outside Reliable Gun, a firearms store in Vancouver, B.C. Reliable Gun’s website now has a note posted saying the store is closed until further notice as staff “works relentlessly to get all the current orders processed.”

CBC News reached out to Reliable Gun but did not receive a response.
