Hmmm, gonna need some support or sources for that chief if you want me to take it seriously. Here, I'll get you started.
> Edward Lucas, a former reporter for The Economist, remembers Freeland as faster and defter than any of his colleagues. “I always felt that she was laps ahead of me,” he says. “On at least two occasions, I would be interviewing someone, having worked hard to find them. Mid-conversation, their phone would go off. They’d pick up and say, ‘Ah, Chrystia. Zdarova!’” Freeland’s early success rankled established male colleagues, says Lucas.
Feel free to comment, rebut, or add your own thoughts to this. Let me just say this though: you come across as someone who doesn't read about things, but rather listens for someone else to tell them what to say. You don't seem interested in learning about details, nuance, or process. You seem more interested in determining winners and losers, like some child pageant mother or a drunk sports fan at a bar.
Feel free to prove me wrong, but given your current responses I'll just say this: you can feel free to hold any opinion as strongly as you like, but unless you can prove that understand why it was made beyond just "good decision/bad decision" and without sources don't expect anyone else to take it seriously.
Can buy yourself a kill-o-watt meter and check things. Amazon has a pretty good one, https://www.amazon.ca/P3-P3IP4400-Electricity-Usage-Monitor/dp/B00009MDBU
I went through the battle of wrangling my power bill awhile ago. What I found out was:
- Major appliances didn't use much (they do, but they aren't on 24/7 to make a difference, just an hour at most a day).
- Dryer is pretty major. Every load is a few dollars, easily.
- Washer is surprisingly nearly insignificant. Hardly uses any power in comparison to the dryer.
- TV can be a fair bit, couple hundred watts not including a sound system.
- My computer room is massive, idle my monitor + PC + everything else thats plugged in the room draws 200W minimum idle... thats ~$21 per month just sitting there, when in use can speak to near 800W. Its responsible for almost a good $40-$60 a month on my bill.
- Central Air is BY FAR the largest single use of electricity in the whole house. The thing is ~5000 watts (same as the dryer...). About half my summer power bill, or more, is solely based on that thing running. Keep in mind when it runs, the 500W furnace blower fan also has to run...
- In the winter, the furnace being on so much more still racks up the power bill. If my gaming habits (2-6hrs a day usually) get me $60 a month of my bill, the furnace blower is probably close to the same at times.
In short, its your furnace blower, AC and computer / entertainment systems. Check them with a kill-o-watt (120V at least, the 240V things just get a clip on tester for the circuit breaker).
Its hard to optimize the HVAC. If you got a programmable thermostat, have it scheduled. It is absolutely an energy drain to have the home a constant temperature even if you aren't there. Let it go hotter when you are at work in the summer before the AC kicks in, and cooler when you are at work in the summer before the heat kicks in. Saves a fair bit (~20% or more ballpark).
For what its worth, my power bill is typically around ~$90-$110 in the winter and $100-$140 in the summer (mostly thanks to the AC). Newer home, built in 2015, 2-storey, ~1300sqft.

I have had the petsafe dog doors before and I had to replace the flaps often. The dogs ate the insulation and it didn't really work. Moved and had to install another and it must have got worse, it was junk and actually fell off the door, leaving the metal all exposed. I had it installed by a professional so pretty sure it's the door. I had one dog and a puppy then. This time I moved I put in this door. Ihttps://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0019F3ZY8/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_49zFDbFRZG2VE I picked it up in edmonton. I have seen it here but I don't recall where. I think it was Critters. I now have 4 pretty big dogs (german shephard mix, bernese, bernese/pyreneese and a newfoundland) and it connects the garage to their yard, so they fly in and out of it over and over all day long. In the 2 years I have had it, it's dirty but not worn at all. It's rubber instead of plastic so it seals better, especially when it is super cold out. All of them have sucked the heat out of the house but this one lets in less breeze. It's metal and rubber and it's built to last. We installed this one ourselves and we are wimps with power tools so it can't be that bad. I did use duct tape to cover between the inside and outside metal to protect the insulation in the door. That's the only improvement I would make on it, just something to put between the door and the dog door frame.
Out in Warman we have Sasktel but don’t get great speeds. Our plan is 10 Mbps down and 1 up. The Sasktel router has very poor signal throughout the house and they gave us an access point but it doesn’t cover the whole house.
Would using something like the dir-859 be a better solution than the Sasktel access point?
dir-859
I use one of those alarm clocks that slowly lights up in the morning so it mimics a sunrise. That helps quite a bit. The one I got was a bit on the pricey side I felt, but I do feel like it was worth it:
https://www.amazon.ca/Philips-HF3500-60-Wake-Up-Light/dp/B00F0W1RIW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1541437582&sr=8-4&keywords=light+up+alarm+clock
Also, like everyone else says, take your vitamin D
Having worked at the airport ground handling aircraft at an FBO where a lot of private jets parked we saw Gene Simmons a few times and he always seemed pretty nice. They would give us the catering they didn't use which was often really good. A lot of the celebrities would.
I guess another weird story from those times is when Steven Tyler came through and took a strange photo in the ladies restroom there that appeared in his 'Does the Noise in My Head Bother You' book. It is the top left photo on page 624 and can be seen on amazon books by scrolling through here. That is here in Saskatoon.
EDIT - you have to scroll about 90% of the way down. I'm not sure if it's page 623 or 624. The only way to tell what page range you're close to is once in a while amazon removes pages from the preview and tells you with a little yellow bar 'page 622-623 is not available in preview'. The page right before the one in question has a picture of Steven drinking from a huge glass. In the picture itself he is not wearing a shirt or pants, just so you know what you're looking for...possibly NSFW (there's underwear...and other stuff).
Perhaps purchasing a mic to use in your laptop/phone is the best solution. Something like this
I have a verilux that helps make a dent, especially when combined with vitamin D (I'm doing about 2000 IU and it's definitely helping more than the 1000 was last year).
This is the model I have: http://www.verilux.com/light-therapy-lamps/happylight-6000/ and it looks like they also sell via amazon: http://www.amazon.ca/Verilux-HappyLight-5000-Energy-Lamp/dp/B002Q2H2JC/ref=sr_1_5?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1417366658&sr=1-5
My parents bought it for me but I'm fairly certain they shopped either online or via catalogue, didn't pick up live and in person at a store
Here is the link It is nice and sleek, not too noticeable in the vehicle. Great Quality!!!
Edited* You can also purchase a hard wiring kit, I wired mine into my mirror.
Buy one of these https://www.amazon.ca/Ubiquiti-Networks-802-11ac-Dual-Radio-Access/dp/B015PRO512
Put it in a central location and any device that supports 802.11ac should be able to max out a 150mbps connection.
It only needs one network cable run to it (the power goes over the network cable too) so it's pretty easy to run. Maybe you can run the cable through a cold air return from your mech room.
It's enterprise hardware so it'll likely out perform any $500 consumer grade router out there. I run one of the lower models and it's the best upgrade I've ever made for my home wifi. No drops, rock solid, only had to reboot it once in three years.
Probably won't find it local. Amazon is your best friend. Seriously. If you don't buy things off Amazon regularly you're missing out.

This is the case I have:
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B07GJKQC4R?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image
Very happy with it. It’s durable and the kickstand feature is handy. I have dropped phone several times on tile flooring and asphalt, no issues at all. I used to always spend $70+ on an Otterbox, so very impressed that I got a great case at a fraction of the price.
We got this PetSafe one that is intended for use in cold climates. It has the standard two thick plastic flaps on each side but also a yellow insulation piece in the middle. Very happy with it. Each flap can be replaced individually in case of wear. It comes in a few sizes, you just need to measure to your dog's shoulder I believe.
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B004UORHXK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_mwoFDb25DHJ20
This one is what I bought for a balance of security and cost. You also want a cable to tie your wheels to the u-lock, especially if you have quick-release wheels. We swapped our quick-release for security bolts.
Nothing will work if they really want it and have the tools to take it, but I try to be less attractive than the next one over.
If you have WiFi you can get an extender..Basically it's a little box you can plug in to an electrical outlet and it will transmit WiFi to the box..And it will have a Cat5 port that you can connect your ethernet cable to your device..
