perhaps the CDC's to Ontario Shipyards. Whilst Toronto may not be impressed, Hamilton, Thunder Bay and the St. Catharines areas would be. PLus the steel mills. There are a lot of Ontario ridings that he could put a lock on by re-booting the industrial base here and the 3 companies involved in building do not really have the wherewithal to tackle another line ASAP. It is time that is the problem.

With Algoma Steel missing out on the TKMS (that could change) win be hitching their wagon to Hanwha, kick starting the CDC's and having Algoma be the source of their steel would be a good thing for SSM. Having the CDC's or some element built in Thunder Bay and Algoma involved would go an even longer way in NO.

Hardy asserted that Brookfield — the asset-management giant Carney chaired before entering politics — became co-owner in a deal with Concert Properties, a developer holding dozens of condo projects in the Burnaby glut zone, fifteen days before the bailout was announced.

Well yeah, obviously both consortiums offered industrial incentives that were completely contingent on being selected. Had we chosen Hanwha, a bunch of different industrial tie-ins would have gone away. Hanwha just had a better PR game on it.

Dont forget Algoma is also partnered with Rochel for ballistic steel, so picking the Senator for LUV will be a net win for them

Meanwhile, the flight of manufacturing continues...

Four in 10 Canadian manufacturers eye U.S. production move​

Nearly six in 10 manufacturers have delayed, reduced or cancelled capital investments amid trade uncertainty and competitiveness concerns.

One year after manufacturers warned that U.S. tariffs posed an existential threat to their businesses, a new KPMG surveyopens in a new tab finds four in 10 manufacturers have moved production to the U.S. or are considering doing so as they adapt to ongoing trade uncertainty and mounting competitive pressures.

The survey of 275 manufacturers finds that 57 per cent say they have paused, reduced or cancelled capital expenditure projects due to economic uncertainty and trade and tariff threats, while 42 per cent have scaled back or paused research and development spending. More than half (52 per cent) say they are currently operating in “endurance mode.”

The findings come as discussions surrounding the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) intensify. Government action on overall competitiveness, taxation, regulations and trade will play a critical role in determining whether future manufacturing investment stays in Canada, says Anamika Gadia, Partner and National Leader of Industrial Markets at KPMG Canada.

Does that mean that I am responsible for decisions made in the CAF in my former portfolios. even though I retired in 2020?

Most steel orders well important are drops in the bucket for income. Yes they will smile and say how important it all is, but the reality is it is peanuts for them.

Take the polar ice breaker project. Algoma is to supply (or has supplied) 600 tons of steel for it. That sounds like a lot but when you consider currently they have a 1.2-1.6 million ton production capacity, it works out to not even a days worth of production. They likely spent more time talking about the order to the press than it takes to manufacture it.

When the two arc furnaces get running in the next few years they will have 2.8-3.2 million tons production capacity yet likely won’t be able to sell half that amount of steel due to the tariffs and low coil market in Canada.

The structural mill would have been a lifeline for them to have a product which is needed in Canada, utilizing the likely lower quality steel they will be producing in the future (arc furnaces struggle to make anywhere near the quality of a blast furnace due to the lack of control over imputs) and providing jobs and security for them.

Not to say it won’t still happen in some other manner, just the path forward isn’t as clear for that company as it was over a few months ago.

He ain’t a Trudeau style Liberal, that’s for sure, and any continued attempts to try to tie him to Trudeau will just look increasingly silly and desperate.

Almost as silly as turning their guns inward.

Does that mean that I am responsible for decisions made in the CAF in my former portfolios. even though I retired in 2020?

Not at all. What I do think is that this raises legitimate questions about ongoing relationships and other connections that could reasonably create an actual or perceived conflict of interest between Brookfield and one of their former members, now even more connected, with financial ties to them.

Becoming co-owner 15 days before a secretive bailout deal that the government used a majority to stymie further attempts at transparency? That sounds like the luck Trump's family members have knowing when to buy and sell stock.

 

[PPCLI Guy]

Again, I am not responsible for any deals or procurement that DND may have made since I retired, even on files where I was the CAF lead. If CAF now buys drones from a company I work at, is that also proof of collusion and corruption?

I am not at all certain that Carney is in touch with his former employer - and neither is anyone else. This is nothing other than unfounded conjecture.

We didn't say you're responsible.

We said we're going to blame you.

No.

Evidence of corruption vs transparency and scrutiny.

If you helped shaped the CAF's drone requirements and policies then later joined a company that won the contracts for new drones would it be reasonable for people to ask whether safeguards were in place to prevent insider information? Even if no wrong doing occurred?

Everything about this condo business might be on the level. There's redflags surrounding the deal and the government squashed investigation into those.

I am not at all certain that Carney is in touch with his former employer - and neither is anyone else.

He might have cut ties with that world and it's denzeins. I don't know that world very well (I don't even have LinkedIn) but I have a feeling a lot of networking still goes on.

This is nothing other than unfounded conjecture.

100%, the LPC ensured it will stay that way too.
