This is going to be a gong show. I hear full on separatists (not just whatever the current crop are) are organizing to take over the party board.

making big investments in rail capacity is really hard, since they can be really lumpy. Finding the capacity for four more trains over the rockies a day is hard, if adding the capacity for them adds the capacity for 30 new trains a day. Who takes the risk between nutrients that only wants to pay...

Yes!

Alberta had run out of oil both in quantity and price decline, and was searching for the next big thing. The government was chasing all sorts of opportunities. Heck. all the provincial land in the deep NW was purchased / consolidated into a tech manufacturing park to try to win the huge Intel...

those greenhouses also used a pure CO2 stream to try to improve the economics even further. Alas.

They are also much poorer and have administrative structures straight out of the 70s - hard to disaggregate what makes them worse, or whether it is a combination of all three.

If it was in the same term yes. New term, goes down to majority.

Of the list in the article, one needs a full stem to stern regulatory review, which hasn't started (too early to be included). Of the rest, only one needs a provincial permit, and is a phase of an already approved project (doesn't need to be included). It is weird, people criticize it for...

What is that? The province of Alberta is very clear: oil sands are Alberta regulated projects. Much like BC's assertion for LNG (minus the marine aspects).

Rent control would mean rents would have to increase by inflation (or another cost index, every year). And never go down (or have the ability to catch up if they did). It is such a significant change from what has enabled Calgary's rental market to be so dynamic.

It was, but it was also vibes. and once the vibes were off, anyone could be part of the in crowd by parroting the same line. The oil patch, especially small explorers ands producers, are so deep into the vibes are off feeling, that there doesn't seem to be a way to recover.

One way to do its work is before a project could access money from 5 pots, it had to navigate 5 pots, now the office can help pathfinder for which pots are best. And yeah, one reason projects took so long is regulatory processes cost money, and are industry funded, and investors chose (whether...

optionality and risk.

He forgot to move a motion in the house the other day, literally the only job of the opposition leader in the budget process, so the Bloc got to lead the entire debate. He has been in this his entire life, and he misses what is supposed to be his core skill set? He is tired.

Oh, Defining Canada’s Downtown Neighbourhoods: 2016 Boundaries

That was studied but is not in the announced scope.

They're buying the building and the lease revenue, not occupying it.

Oh. So I missed that Ukraine needs financing. Building in Canada means that Export Development Canada/Canada Commercial Corporation can lend it all and the government can then subsidize the interest rate, and defer payments as ‘aid’. It would be a huge win for very little cost.

Throwing maps in for folks’ easy reference. Reading the article it isn’t hard to guess that in some cities boundaries were shrunk on consultation (Vancouver, Calgary) and in others not so (Edmonton, Ottawa). Vancouver’s and Montreal’s boundaries should have the most shift by 2050 to reflect...

That data doesn't exist. The parties can do a bit better estimating, since they know who voted in the advance polls, but it is a lot of squeeze for very little juice. I suspect they just topped up the polls with a share of the advance vote. It would be close enough.
