The issue is the rush to build driving acceptance of designs that are wasteful. Building for efficiency is the real solution, but that takes time none of the people putting money into this want to spend waiting for things to be done right. Same reason you won't see them being built in the far North; existing access to energy and data transmission infrastructure and available labour to get things done in a hurry are what wins out.

Without violating the NDA, are you able to gesture in the direction of where someone might go looking to find that info for themselves?

People want clarity on how things will play out 15 years into a deal made with Trump? He can't be counted on for a deal to last 15 days.

Nobody should be shocked by that at all, and yet we won't even criticize them. They can be targeting and killing UN peacekeepers, engaging in ethnic cleansing, seizing territory that doesn't belong to them, and participating in starting a war of aggression that now threatens the world economy, and we won't even name them as doing anything wrong. It is truly pathetic and despicable from our government. The entire world can see what Israel's doing, but apparently not our government.

I don't always agree with Gilmore, but I really respect and see value in the work she does on exposing white nationalist networks in Canada and raising awareness about the risks they pose, and she's especially brave doing it as an independent journalist.

Appeasement is not going to work with this guy. It's time for some allies, like Europe, to finally show some backbone and align against the US in a unified front to push back against this. If he can keep picking on one nation at a time while their allies all capitulate to avoid being targeted, everyone will suffer much worse in the end.

This was a profound speech. There was a lot to it. Declaring the death of the liberal international order with less than shining obit being one example. That was a very powerful statement. More than that though, he has been gradually laying down pieces of a framework for working back towards a world order we might want to see. Can we do it without the US smashing it all up first? Very uncertain. Still, can't fault Carney for taking the position he has. He's supposed to be a leader, it's a time when leadership is desperately needed, and he is stepping up as a leader.

The advert is literally just Reagan's voice from an address he gave against tariffs along with stock video of people and places. That's it.

Have people forgotten another wanted criminal getting 50+ standing ovations in Congress not long ago? On a scale of how America honours war criminals, a red carpet in Alaska seems relatively minor in comparison.

"Officials in the Donald Trump administration discussed loaning the oil-rich province of Alberta hundreds of millions of dollars to help it become independent from Canada, a prominent separatist is claiming."

Big if true.

What the surgeon did was obviously wrong, but a Nazi making homemade pipe bombs is still by far the bigger concern in this story.

Totally support that, and it's a great time for it as Canada's under threat and many Canadians are boycotting US media products.

Personally, since cutting off US media and switching to CBC, I've really enjoyed a lot of Canadian content and I've found myself more appreciative and interested in Canadian cultural products overall.
