If Canada is going to fast track anything it should be electricity transmission and clean generation. It will be our ace in the hole in terms of competitiveness until the Americans realize on their solar, which looks like it may take awhile.
If Americans thought eggs were expensive, wait until they open their electric bills.
Electricity Is the New Eggs in a Power-Hungry US
Utility bills jumped 4.5% in the past year, almost double the gains for the broader consumer price index.

Turns out today is ANOTHER good day for Pierre Poilievre to prove to Canadians that he’s actually capable of passing the standard & normal security check, & get the security clearance that he’s refused to get.
Until he does, I’m continuing to assume that it’s because he knows that he can’t pass it.

In my opinion, AMOC collapse has always been a red herring, like sea level rise before it. There are other far more immediate and existential consequences of climate change. Among them are heatwaves, fires, floods, storms, droughts, disease, ecosystem collapse and fascism.

What flexposts say: "We could use steel bollards but a bollard might scratch a car and that would be a tragedy. So, we're going to use these instead — things literally designed to be run over — because protecting even one car from a scratch is worth thousands of pedestrian deaths every year."
Because city agencies are typically reactive, not proactive; crews aren’t scouring the city for downed flexposts. But in a rare victory for municipal services, explains @johnsurico.bsky.social, if you tell them, they will come.
