The business case, in a nutshell.
A new oil pipeline to the coast could be declared in the national interest today. Fed & prov govt could then sort out how to make it feasible over the summer. Construction cld start Labour Day. That would be building at speeds not seen in a generation.
You put your finger on the best argument that the separatists have - that absent a reconfiguration of the institutions of power in Canada, we keep getting policy aimed at Alberta.
@PrueBrattyChild@ABDanielleSmith To that end the feds, in their current predicament also have an incentive to reform the formula. I would suggest by recognizing a broader definition of tax capacity, pushing receiving provinces to do more internally
@PrueBrattyChild@ABDanielleSmith Let's just be clear about equalization. Even if all payments to receiving provinces were stopped tomorrow nothing changes in the contributing provinces. What it would mean is the fed level keeps it all at their discretion to reduce deficit, spend differently or reduce taxes.
Troops of the 9th Canadian Infantry Brigade (Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry Highlanders) going ashore from LCI (L) 299 [Landing Craft Infantry], Berniรจres-sur-mer, Normandy, France, 6 June 1944.
On 6 June 1944, the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders landed at Berniรจres-sur-Mer as part of the 9th Canadian Infantry Brigade, the reserve brigade of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division. Unlike the assault battalions that went ashore in the morning in Landing Craft Assault (LCA) to storm the beaches under fire, the SD&G Highlanders landed later in the afternoon once a foothold had been established.
Because they were not part of the first wave, they were carried in the larger Landing Craft Infantry (Large) [LCI(L)], which could transport up to 200 troops at a time. These vessels were slower and less manoeuvrable than the smaller assault craft, but they were ideal for bringing in reserve formations once the immediate danger of beach obstacles and heavy fire had been reduced. The use of LCIs also reflected the need to land reserve battalions in strength, ready to exploit inland or reinforce as needed.
@GoldsmithB@murphymike After 2000 Florida leapfrogged everyone and became the gold standard. No need to reinvent, just adopt everything Florida did.
Delay invites suspicion.
@acoyne@ChantalHbert I always thought you liked definitions. The numbers meet the definition. That being said there are all kinds of modifiers, small, miniscule, tiny etc to describe it, but the reason for the definition was to try to deploiticize defining it.

Can anyone imagine Joe Biden doing this?
@OverDrive1050 Stop. Find a way to get Larkin while keeping real assets like Knies, Matthews, Nylander, Cowan.
Everyone wants Knies, and if the Leafs trade him they'll be looking for a player just like him
