Partner has just done the calculations on our recent trip from Norwich, UK to County Donegal, Ireland by #EV.

We had to use a fair few rapid chargers along the way and all took our Octopus Electroverse card, which adds the cost of charging to our fuel bill at home.

We reckon the 1080 mile journey cost us an average of 11.7p per mile…it would have been at least 20p a mile on current diesel prices.

It’s no wonder more people are making the change to EVs…

We did it. We stopped the Gravy Plane!

On Friday, the prov. gov't announced the purchase of a $28.9 million taxpayer‑funded Bombardier jet for use by Premier Ford—which would required jet expansion approval to operate at Billy Bishop Airport - a potential conflict of interest.

NoJetsTO.com raised the alarm … & called it what it was: the “Gravy Plane.” The media picked it up …

Today, the gov't announced it will be sold.

… Together, when we raise our voice, we can win.

So another mass shooting in the USA (in Louisiana) and no doubt we'll hear a range of US politicians saying their hearts & prayers go out to the victims, but offering nothing in the way of a resolution for this problem.... because they claim no-one has found a way to limit gun use while not impeding political freedoms.... that is, apart from most other developed countries.

Gun violence in the USA is not a natural phenomenon, its the result of political choice(s)!
