How it integrates with a potential people mover, or in the interim, dedicated bus flyovers from airport rail, needs to getc close to functional planning. This government with such ambition, I think across files they're realizing that just doing stuff is pretty hard unless you have a budget to...

Haven’t been at the airport in a while. Either the scaffolding/tent is coming down on Concourse B, or just about enclosed for a winter of work (without context I’d bet on the later).

$10 million to get the project to a decision point would help a huge amount.

It is a relatively simple project that is still in scoping. The process includes the province putting forward the project. Absence doesn’t stop it from being added later. It’s very much the province needs to decide what to do. From the outside it looks like they are stuck in analysis paralysis...

At 3.5% of GDP spend, thinking about what capabilities we can gain is important. Right now everything can be accomodated in the 2% bucket -- the new submarines, fighter air craft, navy destroyers. What is useful to us and our likely allies, thats the next 1.5%. Admiral Topshee (head of the...

Here is the eligiblity for one of their rental projects: The provision model assumes that they are making back most if not all of their capital contribution over time, so they can finance the occupied development, and then move onto the next project.

The western gap is in a bomber fleet that is slightly less capable than the new B21 stealth bomber imo, but can handle the ultra long length standoff and medium length cruise missles on mass that the fast jets can only carry one per air frame. Something that can get within 1000 km without...

It isn't needlessly, thats the thing. It costs money to run simultaneous reviews instead of sequential, and resources from the feds to have enough capacity to run things simultaneously. Before, the goal was lowest risk, lowest dollar cost process. In exchange, it took longer. Now we're...

Ward level polls would be super hard to do with any form of accuracy ... I really doubt polls like this.

There have been plenty of projects on lists for the city that never made it through prioritization - perhaps they'll be able to go further down that list. I'd look there first. TBH the city should always have river pathway sections ready to go, in different size buckets. Then when other...

Alas, until the downtown tunnel is complete, the logical 'zone' system is paying for crossing into the free fare zone. Outside of somewhat wide peaks, the system could be super cheap. Trip cost for LRT only is $1 or so (can't confidently say what it is today, two decades ago the cost was...

Yeah, with capacity constraints at the bridges induced by the shared section downtown, extending the zone would likely have a counterintuitive effect of reducing LRT 'miles' by crowding out longer distance commuting by replacing walking trips with LRT trips.

Dubious value? The port / terminal leesee is paying for it. Getting on the list is not 'the feds are funding it with tax dollars'.

Nuclear is mostly regulated by the feds, and providing a better mandate for the different stage gates to look for solutions and avoid anything that looks like a regulatory induced schedule slip is a thing versus the prioritize risk above all else.

A bunch of non tariff barriers. Easiest example one would be we build cars to North American standards and don't allow imports of European standard cars without localization. 'We' could shift, and it might make more sense to send Canadian made Lexus's to Europe (it appears there is no current...

That project just needs money.

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...
