Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

Great idea, we should look for more ways to give money to our next real adversary.

Remember when Lada's and Yugo's were sold here in Canada over 40yrs ago?

While true, you what else is never good for Alberta? A federal LPC government.

I would love to be premier of Alberta.

Anything goes right? Alberta did that. Anything goes wrong? The Feds.

I don't know any other province that gets that cop out

Alphabetically; British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland & Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan.

It's how Confederation works, and you know it as well as every other Canadian. It's just that Alberta, like Quebec are the squeaky wheels that get the most attention.

@Halifax Tar I'm with you on that one and am in the same boat. Our local grid is already overloaded with all the developments they are packing in or building up on small footprints, so we already get brown outs, so only a very limited number of people could upgrade to 200A anyway as they don't have capacity.

I get the way the panel monitoring works, and how it automatically drops down to lower amps (or shuts if off) so that the panel amp stays within 100A, but can do 50A at night when load is minimal, but as a fire nerd also have seen how wrong things can go with the batteries when they do go off. I have zero interest in adding in a fire wall and changing out the windows so an EV car fire in the driveway wouldn't kill everyone in the house from just the toxic gases coming off it. Building code will eventually catch up on new builds, but that's a big gap in existing construction.

You sure about that?

I seem to remember when Quebec ran massive deficits, had a massive debt load and high unemployment they were called a socialist fiscal basket case.

Lots of details in what is a compressive plan.

EV pause and review.
EI changes for re-skilling
Buy Canada policy with changes to procurement
New business loan expansions
Relief for farmers

Lots to dig into

Hoping that this translates into a lot of CDN steel going into the River’s, 2nd JSS, the Polar CCG ships and the future CDC’s.

EV mandates, which are political, will be competing with AI demands, which are market-based, for whatever supply of electrical power is available, which takes long lead times to increase.

I predict an increase in the number of third-party auto parts manufacturers and reconditioners as people seek to keep older ICE vehicles roadworthy.

Like the LSVW on a country wide scale.

Not sure what age I first read Without Remorse, but I’m not sure I was a teenager yet, and that was about banging hookers and murdering pimps, so…

The unkillable Mr John Clark enters the chat.....

Like John Wick but tougher.

The Bloc Quebecois and PQ

Yeah, but when they do it nobody buys their BS.

Alberta seems to get a pass.

No, I was 6.

Bingo! And my municipal councilors blame the Province for just about everything.

Its the art of deflection.

Lol, I was 16 and I tried to get my parents to split the cost of buying one of them for my first car. For my ethnic Polish Mum buying a car from a Communist country in 1985/86 was a hard 'No'.

My guy!

We do have to clean up these recall issues. Ford could do with better QA.

They all could. My next door neighbour's Silverado 6.2 V8 just grenaded itself. He needs an new engine and thought it would be a fairly quick turnaround but they've got almost 3/4 million engines to deal with.

Not sure there are Canadian producers for some of the grades, so some of it may be just resellers vs actual Canadian production.

With the tariffs impacting exports, the remaining Canadian producers may start relooking at specialty steels again, but depending on the quantity required may not make financial sense.

 

[Navy_Pete]

I think there is too much ill will both sides for that to work, but it would be ideal.

I think PP has also staked his fundamental existence on being inherently anti LPC so there is no path for him to actually be a reasonable human being to get things done with collaboration.

So far Carney is lifting enough from their platforms with modifications that I think he may work with them where there is common ground, with some howls of dissaproval from a lot of the party.

I just with HoC would behave like adults for a change and get stuff done.

One of the biggest screw ups in their history, I believe...

Nearly 1 million GM small-block V8s investigated for failing

The popular powertrains, which you'll find in a range of pricey models, are the subject of an NHTSA probe that could lead to a recall

GM used slightly cheaper main bearings on the 6.2. Turns out there's a reason those were cheaper.
