Using a link with a clear bias is good as it counteracts all the CBC et al free advertising. Having said that, your link is good and appreciated, thanks

Tanks! Nothing wrong with another tool.
We agree there. I've had CBC blocked on my TV for some years now.

… according to what PP said he heard/felt in a closed meeting
He’s too smart to lie, but I’m going to apply a grain of salt the same way as hearing PMMC summarizing someone else’s thoughts/words that we haven’t heard. Especially when he asked the Germans about perceived ability to build infrastructure. Optimists’ll say it’s a fair question, pessimists’ll say he’s looking for attack ammo. Looking forward to hearing more.

And who can blame them...
That's well said.
So far, I don't trust him either...but I'm not committed to disliking or distrusting him, he just hasn't given me a reason to really trust him yet.
I am absolutely supportive of him pursuing the plans he claims to have for the country tho.
If actions replace words & all of these free trade agreements pan out, and our economy starts to feel even somewhat like it did prior to Trudeau - I'll be more of a believer
But the results of some of his decisions in the UK have left that country basically broke, and so far I seem him executing the exact same strategy here. (Crazy high spending + deficits = someone else can be the austerity bad guy & fix it once he's gone)
PROBLEM: Every single one of our allies are calling out for our resources and there is no way to satisfy their requests. We can sign all the agreements, shake all the hands we want on the tarmac, and say hello in 12 different languages but until there is a project on the books, with funding, to provide transportation of those resources to our friends we are no better than the chap who leans out his car window beside a homeless beggar and wishes him success as he holds out his cup and then drives off delighted with himself for showing such compassion and understanding. Carney has had a year and so far all he has done is wear out the tires on the Airbus. I am desperately hoping that I see either pipes or track being laid linking the oil with the coast before the end of the summer.

Germany doesnt seem the trust anyone for that except trying to get cheap gas from russia again. Id be as bold to say germany deliberately doesnt want out gas, not because of cost, market, security etc but simply because to many are in russians bank rollGermany doesn’t trust PM Carney and Canada’s ability to supply oil and NG: Foreign Minister Wadephul.

I work with startups, as an investor and as an advisor. This is a common problem - the sequencing of developing both sales and production. In other words, having the supply to meet the demand. That means that you need to advance both simultaneously, but not necessarily symmetrically.
Finding the balance of whether to spend limited resources (mostly leadership time, and money) on building production or building sales, and in what proportion, is one of the key problem in going from scaleup to startup. Investors and stakeholders have opinions on the right approach in business, much as the Opposition, media, voters, and pundits do with the business of the country.
The demand signal is being built right now, and that is well overdue. That will require an increase in production capacity - and in this case the greatest need is the development of transportation networks to move the product to meet the increased demand.
The federal government will require significant support from stakeholders in the development of those transport networks. That means that provinces, first nations, municipalities, special interest groups, and voters all need to be convinced of the imperative. This is not a long-term, take it slow, no risk, make everyone happy and ensuring everyone gets a win type of thing. It is an immediate and close to existential need.
So now is the time to switch the preponderance of leadership time - along with a significant investment of funds - from sales to production. It is also time to make it clear to the country that this a Whole of Nation project.
That is the narrative that is needed to drive the behavioural change such that all stakeholders look beyond their own narrow self-interest.
So bring on the transcontinental railway of this generation - and sell it as such.

This is a bit of a tangent, but, I'm looking at the PM's trip to India, Japan and Australia and, as much as I am not a Liberal supporter, I have to admit that Carney and Anand are definitely doing foreign relation right - and our name, I think, has gotten a lot better in diplomatic circles from their respective predecessors.

There was a time it was possible for the country to switch parties/PMs without too many people losing their nut. Trudeau, Mulroney, Chretien (and the short-termers in between) right through to Martin. Then Harper, and the left lost it. Then Trudeau Jr, and the right lost it.
Carney at least presents the hope of re-establishing moderation. Poilievre unfortunately does not; even if he demonstrates a sharp change, it will not be believed by detractors (reasonably, because it seems to be a fundamental part of his character).
If a period of moderation is re-established, I expect it to be short-lived. Progressives want to move leftward faster than conservatives, and the larger the gap grows the more heated emotions will be because the doctrines of the former increasingly require submission which is antithetical to the doctrines of the latter.

I did, once, for a few seconds. I was channel surfing and had to pause for a phone call. Thankfully, it was a telemarketer and I was able to keep surfing.

Warning - complete tangent:
Who watches broadcast TV period?
My morning website warmup round includes CBC for local and issue specific news, G&M for national / international with a Canadian lens, The Guardian for its analysis, The Washington Post for opinions, and insight into the way things are evolving down there (I have been a daily reader of the WAPO for over 10 years, and it is changing), The Daily Telegraph for a different UK perspective, Poltico for deeper US political analysis, Daily Beast for shits and giggles, The Line for best independent journalism in Canada. Daily but not first blush I check in on The Hub, Good talk. A few times a quick I hit up The Atlantic, The Walrus, Rational National, and some commentariat, mostly substack based.
I do not have cable - in fact no TV other one than in the mancave for sports. I watch sports and entertainment via subscription. I turned off the radio on my car on my return from Iraq in 2017 to force myself to spend time with myself, and have not turned it on since - my head is the best radio station ever.
So, who watches broadcast TV?

Haven't had cable since 2018.
I save time and just scan twitter, which through a good following list aggregates items of note, and its all free. Add to that some substack and podcasts, and you can get what you need for $0.
