Its been in process for awhile. This is now turning a much of the non-regulatory work into regulatory work. The bid was supposedly very good, like, the CIB/project office wondered if the bid sent the wrong version with the support required from government too low, or the specs too high...

The sector specific caps make the overall target harder to reach not easier. The massive oil sands decarbonization project was on the second phase list. I suspect that there will be a grand bargain — Pathways actioned by the oil companies; federal government strikes a few provisions that are...

What might seem like an opportunity for savings (only repaving once) likely misattributes way more costs to paving, and ignores costs for coordination (likely no net decrease in the number of days of disruption, plus potential for stretching timelines and costs by having crews on schedule and...

Unblocking and accelerating. And increase productivity--focusing efforts and investments in ways that should generate positive returns and spinoffs.

If elevated is off the table, its optimal imo. Becomes a bit of an optimization problem, trying to keep the distance down between the tunnel portal and the southern most edge of the station box, so that an emergency staircase and smoke extraction isn't needed in between. At 16th, station designs...

They have been for years - the feds started turning this ship around in early 2023, but the provinces resisted and even threatened to sue. After the largest intake of international students ever in fall 2023 after the provinces had pledged to better regulate their colleges, the feds stepped in...

The city also puts a lot of things on its list to make the problem seem larger than it is as part of the FCM national cry poor communications effort.

Yes.

National population growth has already frozen.

Formal estimates have been revised down after a few years of more robust projections. the High case is now 7.8 million for 2050, 6.8 million for medium case, 6 million for low case.

City proper: To guess, I imagine it is the population projection from previous years for the CMA. City proper projections from the province updated this year is significantly slower, at least for the medium case. Also, in the next decade can be 15 years, not 10.

Graduated into the world financial crisis and natural gas collapse—this is very much worse but will also turn faster as the excesses on the international student boom pass.

Compared to a decade ago, yes. Mixing stimulants and depressants to extend the high of the low while staying awake to try to protect themselves and their stuff. Plus increasingly synthetic and more effective versions of the above. And then totally different drugs too. Then you have even worse...

There is the MOU with the province, that has a provision that could be interpreted in two ways. Expires in 2027.

Depends on whether they're counting on belly cargo. HKG is over saturated in that market tbh. So a cargo light flight could work? AC runs 789s on some pretty long legs. Will be interesting to hear cabin layout. AC is adding more premium seats in their refreshes, and WestJet is premium light...

If they want to do a single super connecting bank including international, to USA, definitely not. But different strategies could work, especially if very complementary infrastructure is built, like the train to downtown and banff. running two banks (one optimized for east coast to asia, one...

More than zero in August is a bit of momentum.

The cost issue is daunting. Because it isn't just the current population, but the continual intake and need for continual care to varying degrees. So over time, a system that works becomes progressively more expensive, with repeat rehabs, higher caseload for monitored perscription treatments...

Believe its this:

Legislation to do stuff and budget are not the same thing, though they have been packaged together as a comms exercise in the recent past.
