Even if this environment, we can't stop the US takeover of some strategically important assets. Their refinery supplies 1/3 of fuels in Western Canada (or maybe just BC, unclear from the article). Basically all Journie stations (Chevron, FasGas, Ultramar), all the Essos with an On the Run convenience store.

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, our interests must not be substantial.

The idea of capital flowing to the steady return and that being Canadian Oil Sands is not a bad thing. Regardless of the flag that flies outside the office of the capital.

The quote: "De Havilland in Calgary is building fantastic water bombers. You know, these Canadian water bombers that we saw in LA, Calgary manufactured. So, we can make sure that we build the water bombers here."

My bet for the budget, funding for a big order, and funding to grow the production line to deliver those orders on a reasonable time scale.
It was supposed to be in a budget a year ago, but things get delayed with turbulent politics at home and abroad.

Kind of an odd quote, technically, the ones that were used in LA were built in Ontario. I get that she means the new ones will now be built in Calgary, though.

Is the De Havilland facility underway at all yet?

I read that they were staging everything cause they had to wait for the canola harvest. Construction starts in the spring
