if this process was anything like the last one, the plates/reflective film are from 3M or some other similar company, the company provides free design services when you sign a big deal with them. These were very likely every proposal from the manufacturer, and to attempt to dampen controversy...

7th is at capacity at rush, you can't run more trains. Earlier technical analysis was that with 5 car trains, the surface crossing at heritage starts to fail in a major way. Let alone downtown (would have to get our some measurements to see which blocks can support a 5 car station)

They can, but you'd need to close roads, and I think the property owners would hate that even more. The station boxes would be hard enough. The ground under 2nd street is worse than most of Calgary's downtown pretty bad soil conditions. Wetter, not continuous layers. The Bankers Hall pit...

It was at capacity with 4 car trains before the pandemic.

This just isn't true. The isn't a program to fund it today, but everyone expects provincial and federal funds for the next decade long infrastructure program to flow from 2028-2040 or so (the end dates get fuzzy because projects get delayed, like the green line under the round that officially...

Even the UCP rejected that, and the option to skirt up between the library and city hall. The red line south is at capacity. The green line having its own access to downtown pushes the need for the red line tunnel decades into the future. Dumping green line users onto the red line south...

Without a point in time estimate for the tunnel, the problem is assuming tunnel costs from 2023 versus elevated costs from 2026.

It isn't nearly as strategic now that TMX has a much higher refined product ceiling. All of BC's needs can come down the pipe. Also ownership doesn't matter. If we value it, and it is acting contrary to our interests, we can expropriate it at any time. If we aren't willing to expropriate it...

Wanted to go faster, gain experience with modular.

In fairness the climate emergency thing was both in policy on Gondek’s website and mentioned at one of the big debates. The pride of timing it had following the election was a big misstep.

^BC does not want nor need Alberta gas for LNG. The benefit is less competition for capacity down alliance and the mainline, and head office jobs/profit attribution.

The ranks of all the polls align no? I wouldn’t call that all over the place.

Built and abandoned. Pretty unclear what would be salvaged. They’d have to do a detailed survey, after it has sat in the ground presumably unpressurized and without active corrosion protection. If somehow this came back, it would likely require special executive orders on both sides to turn...

Yeah, the city can buy it if they want to.

Pipelines can go fast. Especially if you ignore local jurisdiction.

It is a defence strategy. Clearly it is a Presidential Act, and the President new about it all, because it is all documented and public.

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.
