EvilJoven posted:Ya, hosed up weather patterns fluctuating wildly like this might be the new normal, but it's certainly not good news. We had like no snow last year until Christmas, that's when the entire city had to conveniently shut down for a day because the plows weren't doing much more than just main routes. This year is supposed to be recording breaking, but more spread out so should be easier for plowing technically PT6A posted:* In an extremely Trump voice * Trump hates the TPP though??

TheKingofSprings posted:Don't some provinces not get the same level of snow and ice? Yes, but they all get cold, and the compound in all-season tires is often unable to provide proper traction near the freezing point, let alone below it. Besides, most laws only even require M&S-qualified all seasons, not even proper, dedicated snow tires.

With MPI letting you put tires on through their program people have no reason to not get em. I did it on a 1 year term for $130/month and it's the best. https://www.mpi.mb.ca/en/Rd-Safety/Winter-Tires/Pages/winter-tire-program-overview.aspx Do other provinces have this?

Decreasing barriers to trade will help provide new markets for Canadian products, and likely lower the cost of imported goods for Canadians, while helping grow emerging economies in other TPP countries. Also namaste faggots posted:But why? It would have hosed the working class's and rurals

That's like a whole extra car payment for a lot of people. Let's not pretend it's not expensive. I mean, if you choose to own and operate a car, it should be your responsibility to maintain and equip it for the conditions you're operating it in, but until driving stops being seen as a right, that ain't gonna happen.

And all it'll cost is us control over how our patent and copyright laws work (gotta protect steamboat mickey forever), let foreign corporations dictate to us what fair dealing means, gently caress over anyone who was hoping that generic drugs might become available soon, and a bunch of other bullshit that was such a good idea that they had to negotiate it in secret and hide it in a trade agreement to remove the need to be accountable. But it also lets you save ten cents on a pound of loving cheese, so sure why not full steam ahead

Serioulsy, PT6A. You are the most selfish person in this entire thread. When people fawn over you for suddenly 'becoming more progressive' I laugh my loving head off because Jesus Christ, it's like watching that episode of The Simpsons where Mister Burns becomes an environmentalist and ends up with him dredging the sea to turn the entirety of the ocean biomass into an industrial paste he can sell. You are completely incapable of considering anything other than your own selfish interest. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that you're a loving solipsist.

All TPP does is let the already incredibly wealthy amass more wealth at the low low cost of even more misery for a large number of people. But at least you'll get cheap loving cheese, right PT6A?

You can choose up to 4 years or less depending on your budget. It's a great system IMO. And I don't think most people will be going for Nokians - again, why this program is so great. You can get drastically less expensive tires and pay way less than I did.

Yeah I got a set of Nokians spread over 3 years, it's $34/month I think? They aren't studded though I think Manitoba was planning to make snow tires compulsory in the winter after 5 years of the Winter Tire Loan program

Most of the people in this thread are just as self-interested and short-sighted as I am, if not more so. After all, what does it matter if the expansion of trade has ushered in one of the greatest reductions in extreme poverty in all of human history? Some Quebec farmer might lose a job, and you might have to pay for copyrighted things a bit longer! The horror!
