Calgary & Alberta Economy

Only the cabinet, but staying in caucus. Seems inline with his career, symbolism vs action. Stay and have input in cabinet, or sit as a back bencher that can’t do anything.

We can't expect him to get a real job now...

Yeah early 2030s. Current projection is the first 9 ships all entering service by 2040, and the remaining 6 by 2050. Hopefully by then we’ll have a helicopter carrier program so that we can have a semblance of force projection and an effective means of coastal disaster relief.

Pretty sure those could be built in the Saint John yard, were it brought back to life. The Aussies have a pair they half built, the Ottomans licensed and built their own as a drone carrier. A trio of those would go a long way to leveling up the RCN, and would be a huge employment boost for the region.

The amount of discussion in the media about how "Ottawa paid for an Alberta pipeline" is ridiculous. Or somehow the MOU is Ottawa giving in to Alberta, someone on CBC even said "if this is what Carney is giving to Alberta, what is he giving to Trump". We are still in the same country, CBC.

A year ago, a liberal prime minister getting a standing ovation at the Calgary Chamber of Commerce was impossible. Today, it is pretty easy to understand. I'll give Carney credit, he sees the long game here, the Trudeau liberal base doesn't really get it, but symbolism stopped mattering in November '24. Carney cannot change things overnight, let alone in a mandate of a government but I appreciate that his focus is where it needs to be.

We seem to do well electing prime ministers to suit the times. Say what you want about Harper and Trudeau but they were well suited to their era, now we're in a new era. Oh Canada.
