If they keep improving at the rate from this one to the triangle site, they’ll be pretty nice soon.

The context I've heard about is the americans want certainty on regulatory matters around minerals and mining, so it comes up as a counter point. The americans want an american process for american owned mines in Canada, and canada points out if the reciprocal was true, Keystone XL would have...

They're illegally deploying the national guard in Oregon to stop 'terrorist attacks' on ICE, another step in regularizing federal direct control in defiance of law.

If it ‘buys’ the pathways project to reduce ghgs and insurance against the USA deciding not to buy oil anymore it can make sense.

With what the USA is doing, it is pretty important to both keep the country together, and ensure we have the resources to stay independent. Carney in his book wrote that Chretien had three goals, keep Quebec in, keep the Americans out, and never have domestic decisions dictated by the IMF and...

And so did Trudeau. And yet... The full quote says more: “We will not impose a project on a province. We need consensus behind these projects and we need the participation of Indigenous peoples. What’s encouraging from the First Ministers’ meeting in Saskatchewan is that many provinces came...

I don't think this is true. It wasn't true for Trudeau, and it certainly isn't true for Carney.

Economic activity is economic activity. Natural gas consumption is natural gas consumption. This facility upgrades dry natural gas into AI services that are exported. Other facilities upgrade dry natural gas into nitrogen fertilizer that is exported. I see no material difference to Alberta...

It depends if the data centres have colocated or associated generation assets with them. This project has associated generation. Most of them do, it is way cheaper, no need to pay for transmission or distribution. Heck, this project even plans to opt out of the NGTL system for its natural gas...

For information, the complex is currently a single title and last switched hands in 2016 for $417 million bucks.

Post secondary would be 100% dependent on the provincial government funding it. Healthcare, thats a hard one-the retrofit could be as much as building new. With the huge parkade, it could be a fit for something like the HQ of the new provincial police much like Westwinds for the Calgary Police...

Gondek not being able to navigate council to produce prioritizations is a big failure. Late in her Council term, she blew up the transit prioritization. It is too bad she isn't very good at finding those consensus compromises that are needed to help plan. Instead, When the federal program...

Canada does a lot of this. Prince Rupert dispatches trains that don't stop at a Canadian terminal. Roberts' Bank ships out american coal. American oil goes to New Brunswick and then the gasoline goes down the eastern seaboard. It gives us scale that reduces costs for moving our stuff, and...

Found an interesting article from a few years back on factors that inform decisions on which to go forward with. There is no best option, all have their own issues. Graphic from the article: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/pressure-scale-new-dynamic-canadian-east-coast-ports-rodrigue/

Projected loss of property value is not a revenue loss to government. Also likely wrong.

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...
