The Canadian aluminum smelters in Arvida and Kitimat were built at the same time as the hydro electric plants that power them. The hydro generation plants were built by the Aluminum Company of Canada (Alcan) and excess power goes into the electricity grid. Very difficult to compete with that.

The US oligarchs complaining they should get part of the tolls can avoid paying tolls by using the other bridge. If they want tolls from the Gordie Howe they can pay Canada for building it or shut up.

They were all looking at their phones.

He was answering a hypothetical question. If Iran attacks a NATO country we might join the operation if that country asks.

The irony is movies shown on TV with people being murdered and blood flying everywhere and bleeping out the swearing.

Some of us are listening.
I am slowly deleting all my reddit posts before I delete my account. This is my first comment on PieFed.

If some parts have to be ordered 15 years in advance you can not pin the purchase on a specific Prime Minister. We need to remove money from corporate donations from our political system, there should not be any influence permitted.

My goodness it seems that the President is off his medications again. The pressure shown to foreign child predators in the Epstein files is making him feel vulnerable.

I hope that the Orban loss is the start of reversing that pendulum swing.

Why don't they make a list of questions that they know he can't publicly answer? "Mr Prime Minister, do you think that Donald Trump is a Russian puppet?"

One party in Canada always has reduction of taxes as a major campaign promise. To be elected you can not inform voters that maintaining or increasing services will require higher taxes so we suffer with reduced services. The world needs to resume taxing businesses and the oligarchy.

Why is there no discussion on splitting the difference and changing time zones by half an hour? If Newfoundland can survive being half an hour off from its neighbors there shouldn't be any arguments against it.

Just don't tell him about the other bridges and land crossings.

Trudeau did not fail to bring in proportional representation. He campaigned with the intention of bringing in ranked balloting. Instead of forcing it through when he could, he sent it to committee where no consensus was reached. Instead of compromising with a small improvement the NDP flat out refused anything but proportional representation. With ranked balloting the NDP would consistently win more seats than they do now and we would have more minority governments where compromising would result in more progressive legislation.

Canadian's are not using euthanasia as an alternative to any treatment, that is either a lie or intentionally misleading. The recipient of MAID in Canada has to request the procedure and be approved by two physicians. The people pushing defunding healthcare are conservative provincial governments who want to enrich their corporate donors.

Committee stalemates in a minority government angers a significant number of voters because nothing ever gets done. There will always be a group opposed to whatever the current government does. One group seems to complain more often than the others. If the Conservatives were in power would you have the same complaint if they stacked committees?

They are also the same conservatives that made the FIPA deal with China!

Thanks, that video answered my question. Geological timelines are as intriguing as the speed of light.

Last comment, you posted the details for the days drive for Perseverance not Curiosity. Thanks, I do enjoy the posts.

The convoy idiots in Canada are a prime example of this.
