Well, there was a few different factors at play. This is one of them: 😉 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada-class_submarine

In a major shift, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will now weigh whether to call a public inquiry into foreign elections interference after former governor general David Johnston stunned the government Friday, resigning as outside adviser after weeks of controversy over his appointment and the...

The siblings, aged 13, nine, four and a one-year-old baby came out after 40 days. That’s wild!

The appointment of a special rapporteur has nothing to do with inquiring into foreign interference in Canadian elections. Over the past four years, parliamentary committees have studied foreign interference extensively, issuing five reports and making over 30 recommendations. There is no...

So if Irving Oil bugs out, there’s no contingency plan needed then? That’s the question I was unclearly asking. I was under the impression they were a bigger player in your neighbourhood than they are. If they won’t be missed other than a few jobs then I guess it’s not a big issue.

Canada with its climate, and the sheer length of its coast lines not having them is…not cool.

If the Regulatory & Political climate in Canada has become inhospitable, and Natural Gas is “Green” in Europe…& they want it (!)….Irving could mothball production in Canada and set up shop elsewhere without selling the Canadian facilities to anyone. I guess American refineries can feed Maritime...

Or they switch to Natural Gas production, where it’s wanted, in Europe. Anything can happen, and if they bail out who would want it as far as a “new owner” if the political climate and regulations made the previous want to leave?? The NB Government maybe?

Yeah but…what if? What does NB do?

“Witnesses told the officers that a group of four to five suspects wearing balaclavas and other face coverings entered the facility and began to discharge a can of bear spray,” the police release said. The radio is saying cans (plural) of bear spray by 4-5 individuals with balaclavas. This was...

The mood at the new Wascana Pool in Regina changed in a flash Thursday afternoon. Smiles were replaced by solemn faces and tears, with onlookers saying there was an incident involving an irritant. Police later confirmed it was bear spray...

Ours has gone from under $600 to almost $900 so it’s manageable but noticeable, but we’ve got three kids (& their spouses, and their kids) who are still in rental situations & those costs are jumping along with the interest rates the last few years, making even our inflated mortgage costs look...

Floating mortgage. Not locked in at a specific rate this time. In June 2020, the Bank of Canada’s interest rate was 0.25% but this week, after the ninth interest rate hike it sits at 4.75% with a possible hike to 5% in July. It’s real, and we’re in an affordable/manageable position even with...

“It’s just something they don’t do.” That’s what New Brunswick’s former chief economist, David Campbell, said about Irving Oil’s public announcement of a strategic review, including a possible full or partial sale. The company is mulling existential questions. So why are the Irvings —...

Over the last few months, Moe has put a focus on the province’s future in energy, deciding to go against the federal mandate of net-zero emissions by 2035. “We will not sacrifice the reliability and affordability of Saskatchewan’s power grid to meet some notional target that isn’t achievable,”...

The House of Commons passed the Liberal government's budget bill today, which seeks to roll out vast new incentives for clean energy and expending dental care subsidies — despite a Conservative attempt to hold it up. (Ironically the day after the Bank of Canada hiked the interest rate again?)...

Not that strange at this point though. Sad but true. Canada doesn’t do nuclear subs, as it just buys the obsolete British diesel electric jobbies & then calls for roadside assistance when they break down before reaching Halifax. The boats were originally named the Upholderclass, after the most...

Under a different government, I assumed that Canada would’ve been the first to set up an arrangement like that with Britain, being directly across the Atlantic from each other, and members of the commonwealth, and so on and so forth… Oh well. Good on America for having their ducks in a row.

Good times.

The office of David Johnston, Canada’s special rapporteur on foreign interference, said it will no longer retain the services of Navigator, a firm known for work in crisis communications. Spokesperson Valérie Gervais informed The Globe and Mail Thursday. She was responding to questions from The...
