A lot of the CentrePort initiative has relied on the province being a good export route from the US, though.

I don’t think it’s clear what he means, tbh. I don’t see how it could mean anything other than a permanent military presence there, which…isn’t currently on the table?

Sure, but I’m not about to absolve the spa of responsibility for what they put out into the world.

Can’t say I agree with that.

Alexandre Boileau, Groupe Nordik’s senior director of marketing in sales, said in an emailed statement to CBC News that the survey was “reviewed in advance” but admits the company “did not apply sufficient scrutiny” to the values-based questions CROP included.

Yeah, I don’t know if they’re focusing on more geographically spread-out areas, or what.

It sounds like the party is in the toilet, and the PQ is riding high in the polls…

Even a broken clock…

ohhhh now i get it

There are probably a lot of lessons that could be learned from Portage & Main.

For the vast majority of the city’s population, it was a place to pass through, not a place to exist, and it was absurd to have a city-wide referendum on it (I’m against referendums in general, but that’s another discussion). Regional polling consistently showed that the people who actually live in the area supported re-opening the intersection to pedestrians.

The fears surrounding re-opening the intersection were stoked by former mayor Sam Katz for years, in the interest of cheap political points.

Sprinkle in some NIMBY businesses in the concourse below the interesection, and you have a recipe for inaction. Things only changed when they received a $74 million estimate to maintain the underground concourse.

I think it was probably an accident (I believe Global has since pulled it?), but a happy one.

I’m not super comfortable with a lot of what he’s saying, but it would be pretty tough to make the case that “not enough action” isn’t an accurate statement.

According to new data released from Environment and Climate Change Canada, the country will fall well short of its 2030 climate goal — just halfway to its target of a 40 to 45 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions below 2005 levels.

I’m deeply skeptical that his approach is going to do any better, but I support the idea of boosting investment in clean(er) alternatives. And he did get Alberta to agree to increase their industrial carbon price.

Also, it looks like these jets will be for operations like medevac and disaster relief, with VIP transport continuing to be gravely by the Airbus CC-330.

This article muddies that a bit by delving into the past controversies with the use of the Challengers as VIP transport.

It looks like the Global 6500 is a new/in-development plane, but it’s a business jet, which is one of the few things Bombardier seems to do well. Hopefully they won’t make a mess of it.

I don’t think their F2P model is as good as it used to be - those Legendary bundles are awful - but it’s still pretty good.

Including vendor junk food items in the giveaway is certainly a choice, but from the picture it looks like there will eventually be things that people actually want…

I agree, but also this was a 2700 km trip, as the crow flies.

The boos came later when she asked if they were more comfortable in Canada than they were a few days ago.

And the pipeline deal is why she was asking, so what’s the difference, exactly?

What are the chances that Alberta just agreed to an increased industrial carbon tax in exchange for a pipeline that never gets built?

Well, euthanizing 1/3 of the population would certainly help alleviate the housing crisis…

Agreed - it’s pretty unlikely that you’d be able to prove something like that.

I suppose you could try to apply precedents surrounding HIV disclosure, but I think it’d be a tough sell.

Edit: And to be clear, even in that situation, we’re talking about disclosure, not actual treatment-related choices.
