I don’t think you understood a single word of what I said.
A minister of AI makes sense, you can’t just ignore it.
A stable economic environment allows for us to make investments today that pay off in the future, but in a war like environment you need to mobilize the infrastructure you have and build support around it. Whether we like it or not we have a number of valuable resources in the ground and we need to start moving those resources elsewhere so we can invest in a renewable future.
There’s a lot of stuff I disagree with Carney on, but what I appreciate about him is that he is a pragmatist. He understands that at times you have to put your personal values aside and take the action that makes the most sense.
Winston Churchill was a racist, but he had the balls to take on Germany and not bend. Lincoln hindered post war reconstruction and his authoritarian overreach was unprecedented but he was the only person willing to tear a nation apart to rebuild it.
Leaders need to be able to put themselves aside to make decisions that produce the most utility for those they lead. This means occasionally getting pie on your face or going against your own heart. A snake acts dishonestly with malice, that’s not what’s going on here. Our current circumstances demand pragmatism we can’t crucify the only person in the room willing to act like one in the face of that.

They split their donations 50/50 between the liberals and the CPC…
8·11 days agoThat’s Iran’s nuke. If they lose that they lose their sovereignty. I hate that I am forced to defend an Iranian regime that I hate… dumb ass war
Ya man this is a bad faith discussion. I can understand why you got banned.
whataboutism is just marginally better than personal insults and arguablY more counter productive.
1·28 days agoTo answer your question they can’t really do that. Certain industries are deemed important to national interest. Google MDA and their purchase by Maxar and what ensued. MDA is still a Canadian company today.
It takes two seconds to google PW and realize this is nonsense. Sounds like a bunch of people talk about things they don’t understand rather than deferring to an expert.
you have no defence beyond, I’m just asking questions
This article is an opinion piece posing as legitimate news. The criticism is short sighted and problematic. The article serves no purpose beyond pushing a false narrative. Its 100% Anti-Canadian to do the minimum research to blast PW when they have been a Canadian and Québécois institution for the last century.
Pratt & Whitney is genuinely and substantially Canadian in every way except ultimate ownership. PW does its own research, development, marketing, and manufacturing of its engines. They aren’t taking American designs and building them on Canadian soil, own owns its own product lines outright.
The PT6 turboprop is a workhorse engine and wholly Canadian. The Longueuil facility employs 4500 workers, it’s deeply woven into Quebec’s history. They recently invested $275 million into facility and have long supported Canadian aviation.
It’s shocking how many of the leftists that hate fake news and sensationalism are falling for it readily when they want their own narrative to be true. This is not news, it’s not a grift, it’s not a lie, it’s not a conspiracy. It is fake news and bullshit to push an Anti-Canadian agenda.
5·1 month agoI thought this was a stupid idea, so I punched myself in the tummy with a sucker.
can confirm that it hurts like a motherfucker
you’re 100% wrong. We’re splitting net profits which is calculated after the payment of interest and debt.
Grow up and educate yourself
The frustrating part is the misinformation. If you hate him, go ahead and hate him. We can’t be so blinded by hate that we can’t acknowledge a decent idea.
I hate Trump. These newborn savings accounts are a good idea. Trump still sucks dick.
What about the payment of debt you dunce.
At best you’re willfully ignorant and have poor reading comprehension.
At worst you’re trolling and spreading misinformation.
you can choose your preferred source.
You’re wrong, stop posting misinformation
I think we all have to be very careful of hyperbole and misinformation. I’ve found even in this community some posts will be littered with misinformation. Looks like scary times are here.
No the US gets half the Net Profits which is calculated after the construction costs and debt are paid. For the first few years the net profits will be essentially nothing.
We’re still allowed to set the toll prices but and toll change of 10%+ requires US approval.
The new deal is fine
Ok so here’s the problem. In the politest way possible, you don’t understand the new deal.
Canada owns the 6.4B in costs to construct the bridge. This includes the debt and interest.
Canada WILL RECOUP ALL COSTS TO CONSTRUCT THE BRIDGE. DEBT WILL BE PAID OUT. YOU HAVE TO PAY THE DEBT AND INTEREST IN ORDER TO GET NET PROFITS.
After the debt is paid you get net profits. These net profits will now be split 50/50. Previously, Canada was to receive all of the net profits in an effort for Canada to recoup the costs of construction faster. Then the split would be 50/50.
I would argue increasing investment in Canada at a time when we’re economically distressed is a pertinent move that would produce a net positive for Canada when you consider the alternative.
I would happily condemn such behaviour in more fruitful times when we had the capacity to place greater value on higher level needs. However, in our current circumstance we have to make difficult choices.
Stealing bread to feed your family is still stealing, but it’s most definitely in the grey area or morality.
