The Liberals always look for excuses to protect Laurentian industries or roll out stimulus packages, so a trade war conveniently becomes the problem to the already favored solution. The US will never implement tariffs long term as nothing draws the ire of Americans than getting in the way of...

The Executive only has the authority to implement tariffs in response to issues of national security, which is why Trump is conjuring drug and people trafficking. It also lacks the authority to pursue annexation. There are probably some legal avenues and appeals to Congress to nullify the false...

And to stop fentanyl and to stop illegal migrants etc. More "Art of the Deal" distraction. The only path forward is formal negotiation.

Yes. Under the Parliamentary system, the leader is chosen by caucus. Delegated selection is yet another Americanism that has creeped in to Canada

That is why formal negotiations are required....get all the issues on the table and agree to the path forward. Negotiating moving targets through social media won't solve anything. It probably is about items like digital services, supply management and protection of financial services. The...

A delay does little to alleviate uncertainty. What is needed is immediate reopening of CUSMA negotiations, which cannot occur with Canada's lame duck government. The Liberals need to acclaim Carney as leader and call back Parliament ASAP. The NDP needs to support non-confidnece as that an...

Sure but that means putting issues like Supply Management on the table. It has been a barrier to trade agreements in the past, but no party seems willing to 3ngage the Milk Mafia

Any activity on Phase II?

No institution likes ceding authority.

Congress will rein in Trump at some point. The best strategy is to reach out to American Congressman, Governors and business leaders, not only appealing to the economic impacts of tariffs, but also to Trump's over-reach of executive authority.

The Victoria Park bus barns will need lifecycle replacement at some point. Plus, they are subject to flooding. Best relocation would likely be to Burnsland or Manchester

Was in Calgary over the weekend and saw crane base in the excavation for deVille's fourth tower in Quarry Park

Eastbound takeaway is a different discussion. I can't see Enbridge or others looking at another west coast pipeline until uncertainty is resolved around -sale of TMX -how does new government change CER processes -what does new government do to the ban on loading heavy oil grades to tankers on...

Churchill isn't all weather and is in the wrong basin. The real export opportunities for oil continue to be to Asia. Even for LNG, the US Gulf Coast has the competitive advantage to export to Europe.

That could have been the case for employment. AB is different as it also earns huge revenue off royalties and land sales.

Probably not Orlando, Vegas or Austin

Should be sooner than that. Okotoks and Foothills are growing and much faster rates than local employment is growing.

Next year's estimates will be telling. I suspect Toronto and Vancouver will slow markedly with the immigration policy changes, and Ottawa by federal government austerity. Calgary, Edmonton and Montreal will slow, but not to the same extent.

Surprised this parcel has remained vacant for so long. TOD around Heritage Station won't take off until the City solves access problems at Horton Road. That will likely require building the Heritage-Macleod interchange.

We're going to build a glorious pipeline from the northern border and the Canadians are going to pay for it. Sleepy Joe and Laffin Kamala aren't around to stop the Patriot Energy Line XXL that will deliver 1.8M barrels per day to ensure that gas prices sag lower than Hillary's third chin. It...
