The 2018 steel tariffs just called to remind you that steel is produced by a tiny sliver of the economy, but used as an input by a much broader swathe of manufacturers.

Any politician who says a main policy platform is to decrease our primary journalism has lost the plot, if you ask me. We need to protect this institution, for it plays an essential role in our Canadian identity, society and democracy.

Love this thinking. We have manufacturers already considering moving to the states over fear of tariffs. Why not get a reverse brain drain going in response.

If I were Canadian PM I would immediately:
1. Create a new $15B science fund
2. Offer any credentialed US scientist funding for lab startup and replacement of NIH grants if they move to Canada
3. Immediate permanent residency
4. Citizenship after 2 years
Overnight a science superpower

The Alberta UCP government has made several changes to the province’s coal policy since taking office.
Some seem abrupt, but records show communication between industry and government departments has been continuous, extensive and influential.
