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.

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...
