@IM_EROS_@prestonstew_ our history is littered with instances where we have helped aside from traditional war conflicts…during 911 grounded all flights going to US in the air in Canada, the Iran hostage situation, helped US military after Katrina just to name a few…
@Pagmenzies@doubleblue2 But I will say as an Electrical engineer that electricity is critical for AI and security and having aging incompatible transmission infrastructure between provinces it does make sense that you develop a national strategy. Not that it needs to be controlled federally.
@Watchdog_MP@CreekInCAN@MarcNixon24 Canada has Investment Canada Act that can force the sale of any foreign asset for national security and has already been used multiple times… as for the auto industry it will be interesting to see what happens there since a majority of those cars being bought in are Tesla
@weebittystar75@jmhamiltonblog@CTVNews He was also very careful with his wording in the article… and I quote “Should we be further integrating our energy markets with the United States at a time they view that as, quote, ‘leverage’?”… he is walking a fine line between what eastern and western canada wants…
@davidjohns37245@junonewscom Yes and why neither party will go against them. And this is the reason why Newfoundland voted liberal in 2015; when our conservative premier got in the dust up with Harper over Muskrat he vowed Newfoundland would never vote conservative federally again. The curse.
@davidjohns37245@junonewscom Under Trudeau they moved environmental assessments from provincial to federal like Alberta so our exploration well approval went from 1-2 month approvals to over year. Hard to survive under that bureaucracy and our oil has the best carbon print in the world.
@paddleonthesea@Pylon54@implausibleblog Sorry your wrong. Efficiency of the system delivering the heat plays a big part.
Required output = Heat Loss (BTU/hr)/System efficiency (as a decimal). Heat pumps have been proven to be 240-540% efficient furnaces are 90-98%.
@AceFrehley66@kinsellawarren Equalization payments is a whole other kettle of fish. Because somehow hydro profits are not included in the calculation…which benefits Quebec and Manitoba the most…but bs all the same…
@AceFrehley66@kinsellawarren So you do know that both Ontario and Quebec supply electricity to northern eastern US with capacity for more. And Labrador supplies 15% of Quebec’s hydro power. Again with undeveloped projects. AI needs data centers and data centers need massive power. End of TED talk.
@bajaboy2009@jensstoltenberg@melaniejoly Bahahaha. So not a boomer. I’m center right, work in Oil/gas. And if you spent anytime other then rage texting on ‘X’ you would know that the Conservative Party also has same foreign policy when in comes to energy and security with Europe. PP was in Europe to increase profile.
@bajaboy2009@jensstoltenberg@melaniejoly Norway is not in the EU. I’m embarrassed for you. And Melanie Joly is an elected official and a lawyer maybe sit this one out. Or at least have an intelligent argument.
@brianlilley There other locations that are much closer to achieving the goal; the Newfoundland Spaceport that has also received funding. https://t.co/tWFi1yQ7gX
@DaphneSheaves As a female engineer who graduated from Memorial University, this policy sets diversification and acceptance back in the workplace. Because no matter who is hired that person will forever be questioned on if they were the best for the job and rightly so.
@boates02 I’m in favour of independent review but having a referendum is wrong. We elected officials for a reason. This is a non-partisan issue. The province is going to be bankrupt. NL (w/ QC) hasn’t even signed on for the Fed inter-provincial unified electric grid -last 2 hold outs.
