And yet even with their very optimistic assumptions about the behavioral response, the on going revenues aren't even enough to close half the budget deficit

Be a government that has been in power long enough to get tired of it, be in a tough reelection bid and turn to LNG development as an economic booster shot. Pic unrelated

Seattle makes sense for most a like city having grown up just north of the border from there, but Montana wasn't what I was expecting.

I would have more time for the NDP's criticism if they would actually support giving the CAF the resources it needs, instead of whining that the organization they want to defund isn't doing everything they want it too. www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

It needed it. This is the kind of slop that I see all the time on LinkedIn. And this is one of the least worst examples. Like who is this supposed to appeal to? LinkedIn is a site for professional networking. Any professional will immediately clock it for the slop it is.

There is a real chance we go into the next election with both the Conservatives and NDP are Operation Rolling Thundering the bridges to the provincial parties. Meanwhile Carney is out smiling and shaking hands with everyone from Eby to Moe. torontosun.com/opinion/colu...

Looking at a couple videos, two of the columns show rupture at the mid column. That suggests to me that they were subjected to significant flexural stresses well beyond the point of yielding. Either due to the eccentricity from the buckling or due to a moment transfered through the joints

Me trying to explain the history of all the times the MLAs elected as BC Cons got kicked out of caucus, quit, formed new parties, splintered those parties, had to sit as independents while awaiting trial and crossed the floor. And that all in the last 18 months!

So many of these arguments again enforcing social norms and etiquette, supposedly in defense of poor people, are far more parternalistic and classist towards poor people than the people they are supposedly defending the poor from. www.cbc.ca/news/enterta...

From one of the CBC stories on this. It's just if we're going to do a design competition lets actually make it an architecturally significant building not just keep the same uninspiring if serviceable outside

Long Manhattan definitely. A little disapointingly there aren't many candidates for such projects in Canada

Looks like we were both a little off on that. Looks like it goes through the mountains connecting the ends of the fjords. Which is an interesting choice and not the easiest by any means.

Best I can figure it would look something like this. Following sea to sky out of Vancouver then up along the east side of the coast mountains, probably with a bunch of branches to the coastal communities. But there is just nothing up through there to anchor any of it.

From Rabble's sponsor list on their about page. I wonder how blue collar steel workers feel about their union dues going to sponsoring articles that argue against a project that would create jobs for them.

I miss when, despite the many, many flaws in their ideology, you could at least count on socialists to be good on trains.

MAiD solely for mental illness is an interesting test of whether there is in fact a limiting principle to MAiD in Canada. A Parliamentary committee says MAiD should not be expanded to include people who's sole condition is mental illness www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

This is why I take the public statements about private property being secure with a grain of salt. Talk is cheap, but when presented with actual legal offramps to exclude private property they aren't taken.

Extending military equipment service way past its design life to save some money because they were technically not a safety hazard, it's part of our heritage.

I went to Ueno Park which was nice, it was a good park. Caught a parade or some kind. It was a cool morning. And there was a rooftop park with a little lawnmower robot. I liked them, just didn't find them in a class above Canada.

Canada's main strategic challenges are downstream of it's population & economy being only 1/10 the size of its neighbour & primary trading partner. The gov's strategic imperative ought to have been doing everything to close the gap instead of spending decades distracted by petty domestic squabbles.

The Competition Bureau looked at this a few years back as part of their report on the industry. Geography, population density, labeling laws and the failure of Target's expansion all were given as reasons competition-bureau.canada.ca/en/how-we-fo...

If you were looking to start a sovereign wealth fund with something other than resource revenue or a government surplus, you could do worse than transferring your own assets with around half a billion in revenue a year to the fund. canadasairports.ca/advocacy/ind...

Scott @sdlb.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

The federal government already collects several hundred million dollars a year in revenue from leasing airport land to airport authorities. Shifting from general revenue to the fund isn't a massive change to how they are managed canadasairports.ca/advocacy/ind...
