People of more modest means can travel to Canada. I do think Mark Carney needs to consider bringing back the GST Visitor rebate as David Frum has suggested. It was abolished because no one was using it and it cost more to run than any benefits it provided but things are different now.

Interestingly I have been hearing that after this summer's heatwave, orders for new AC units are way up in Paris. So whatever the "left" might be saying people are voting with there wallets.

Agree with this and will also point that many people on the left perhaps even more on the left than the right have had at least the hidden desire to conquer Canada.

Did Brightline ever sell itself as commuter rail? Anyways the "public service" obligation of its corporate predecessor the Florida East RR was long ago extinguished during the infamous strike of the late 1960s.

More telling is Maura Healey refused to endorse Mamdani and even suggested Eric Adams might still win. Healey has all the power in Boston not Wu.

Running against Eric Adams is going to be a completely different type of campaign for Mamdani.

**Actually to be more specific Callaway in Missouri and Wolf Creek, Kansas were Sizewell B's reference design and the "newest" Westinghouse 4 Loops in the US>

BTW, Sizewell B was probably the most successful Westinghouse 4-Loop design build and took less than half the time Byron did 10 years earlier and was intended to be the start of a series of 4-Loop Westinghouse reactors in the UK.

This is a great video below of the construction of Sizewell B in the 90s which was a Byron/Braidwood/Diablo Canyon type design with 90s era control systems. youtu.be/FyRRBP1WqpQ?...

will work out all of the construction challenges of the EPR. (I acknowledge that the EPR is everyone least favorite reactor and I suspect the UK wishes it had gone AP1K)

There is a lot not to like about the EPR but the UK already has two under construction with the 2nd showing improvements over the first. I like the AP1K better myself but if the US doesn't get to number 3 and 4 it really won't matter in the end as eventually the UK and others by 5, 6, and 7 will

Also heard recently btw on some days you can see the steam plume of Hope Creek NJ in the other direction as well from the top of downtown skyscrapers in PHL as well.

Limerick in Pennsylvania outside of Philly is another plant you ride up very close to as well(owned by the same company as Byron, Constellation Energy). You can actually see the steam plume at Limerick from the top floors of some of the downtown buildings in PHL.

The compact construction site thing is key thing of note both at Korean nuclear and in Barakah.

One of the top figures involved in the construction at Byron was essentially head of construction for the UAE at Barakah and played a big role in Korean nuclear. You can see certain things in those old construction photos. Relatively compact footprint for example.

political strategists and consultants to have this type of power. Stephen Harper and Angela Merkel are known to have thrown there weight around multiple times after leaving office but the Hogg situation seems to be instigated by James Carville who never held political office.
