This is a big deal. A partnership to build a southern BC route pipeline between Trans Mountain and Pembina. It is a win for Canada, a win for BC, and a win for Alberta.

NEW: Here is what the agreement between the Government of Canada and BC says about a new coastal pipeline from Alberta.

@Citizen004 The banks. Banks are good with an old fashioned round of bailout.

[Bobbi Menard 🇨🇦 @BobbiMenard]

The banks are deeply silent about their risk exposure pre-Carney condo bailout

I remember DCC increases in Kelowna - huge outcry on the baseline boost of the home plus paying tax on tax. Have wondered why initial charges &/ lifecycle maintenance aren’t a separate line item levy on the tax bill. Like a business improvement zone levy, but for new neighborhoods.

Munis can usually access bond market to cover the up front and charge it back via levy plus a bit extra to get ahead on future renewal.

Everyone lives on a used home - older neighborhoods would also have a local renewal levy.

It would even the playing field and help residents see their property tax going directly to their services.

*Not net-new money, just designated.

Canadians have built tech empires. But most didn't do it at home. ✈️

@Uber, @Cloudflare, @OpenAI, @AnthropicAI - all co-founded by 🇨🇦's who went on to build their businesses in the 🇺🇸.

Add on foreign nationals who attended Canadian universities, you get @Instacart, @Tesla, @moderna_tx, @NotionHQ. 🎓

Founders of all these companies slipped through our national grasp.

@Investor_NICK_ It's not brought up for STEM at all. Technical sales can be incredibly lucrative

@stephen_taylor There has never been more advertising revenue and higher interest in the news

It takes a massively misguided set of policy choices to wreck the news industry in the modern Information Age.

@VDToupin I’m reading from translation, but how do you believe that the federation’s political centre of gravity has shifted west?

Maybe having no issues is antithetical to entrepreneurial greatness.

Elon is not a perfect person and has many (serious) issues. But there’s no doubt he’s the greatest entrepreneur of the last 100 years.

@by__brittany Love to see bold confident growth conservatives

* Correct quote is “politically left” not socialist. Point stands. Entrepreneurs take potential and turn it into value that’s added to the global GDP. They capture a small amount of that value in the process which is a big part of the incentive. The rest goes to others, employees, shareholders, government, suppliers etc.

You can always criticize them. You can always criticize the redistribution efforts. But you should always remember that without them, there is very little new value enters society and that locks everyone in zero sum competition, sometimes war.

Entrepreneurs are load bearing for human thriving. It’s a glorious act to put yourself out there and build a company that provides good and services to everyone. And Elon is the best entrepreneur that ever was. You don’t have to like him, and sure he’s crazy, but otherwise he wouldn’t do crazy things. Same coin, two sides.
