@erik_thorvalds I’ve seen calculations for not building Northern Gateway. Unpublished, so take this as a credible range.

Mark, your government has spent a decade depicting Canada as “a post modern state with no core identity” whose history, and present, is characterized by genocide and institutional racism, a state of questionable legitimacy resting on “stolen land.”
Your government has engaged in a never ending parade of apologies, abasement and self-recrimination, together with an erasure or marginalization of many central aspects of our history, including our founding Prime Minister.
You lowered our national flag for six months. That’s for a country that did not lower it for one day when 110,000 Canadians were dying on the battlefields of Europe.
Do you seriously mean to suggest that none of this “drove the mood of the country down,” but that the decline in patriotic sentiment is primarily the fault of an opposition leader arguing that government policies have diminished Canada’s prosperity, and created profound problems in housing, crime, immigration, etc?
I respect your intelligence, and your service to Canada, both in uniform and in Parliament.
And I readily grant that reasonable people can disagree about the causes and effects of government policy.
But I’m sorry, IMHO members of your government don’t get to skate away so easily from the damage done to national pride and attachment from a decade of denigrating Canadian history and identity.
Conservatives announce plan for “Canada First with Shovel-Ready Zones”—pre-approved areas to build mines, data centres, pipelines, LNG plants and more.
No uncertainty or years of delay. Just go!

Many have asked: why are my AB power bills so high?
So Dave Brown, Andrew Eckert and I decided to dig in to the answer. In forthcoming research, and highlighted by today's Policy Trends piece, we broke down the factors behind Alberta's recent run-up in power prices.
