Big supporter of renewables, but what's missing here is the make up of what's getting imported. The overnight baseline appears to still be majority imports from, I assume, non-renewables?

Canada has a quarterly “VAT” rebate (technically GST and PST, or HST depending on your province) scheme for lower incomes.

Make below X based on last year’s tax return? Here’s a quarterly cheque to offset the average individual’s sales tax.

In Canada we have something like this.. Flex Delivery. Let's you just enter the address of the nearest postal outlet to you. Boxes are left at that depot, you get a notification when it's ready for pickup.

Edit: since our gov't postal service is teamed up with a pharmacy/general store (Shoppers Drugmart), there's a tonne of convenient locations. Closest one to me is 4 blocks, on my drive home from work.

Quite different uploading your stuff to the platform distributing your app, rather than a "rando that is going to scan my app"

ITER is doing that, no? Large scale test of fusion energy output.

We solved this by issuing company owned and controlled laptops to our contractors.

Disk encryption, screen time outs, remote wipe etc. contractor machines with code and production access are treated as critical assets and are fully under IT control.

For good reason. When I get a plan stamped by an Engineer I want to make sure they're certified to make sure my thing doesn't fall over / collapse.

I am a Software Developer - I did not graduate from an Engineering college. I am not an Engineer. The stuff I do does not kill people when it fails.

99% of people that claim to be Engineers (at least in Software) are not.

$150k+ household income is not considered middle class in Canada.
