And that's equally (or more) moronic.

If it was any other country, I'd agree with you. But their own government, institutions and media are putting out reports about how bad Brexit has turned out. Also, they had a decade of austerity before Brexit. So if conservatives want to argue that Carney should have opposed austerity let...

It's not the time. It's the events and level of control he had that determine culpability. How exactly is a BoE Governor whose advice was refused, responsible for consequences of the government not following that advice?

That's kinda how climate change works. Every year now is "among the hottest years".

They do call him "the nation builder" in China because he's great for them. Imagine having an overcapacity crisis in renewables and EVs and then Trump starts a war increasing those exports 50-70% YoY.

The famines will be spectacular.

How relevant are numbers from before 28 February 2026? Source: Canada ZEV sales surge 47% after federal $5,000 rebate returns I expect the March and April numbers to be even more spectacular.

Dude was honest as a public servant. Government ignored his advice and did it anyway. Then chose to blame the public servant who has zero control over policy. There are legit things to criticize Carney on. Especially in his time as PM here. But it's a real reach when people push talking...

You're misunderstanding what the point of the institution is and the role of the PM. Having the bank in Canada will absolutely boost investment in our defence sector. It's only natural because those bankers will rub shoulders with our industry execs. It's not Carney's job to run the bank...

You act like the defence industrial base isn't important. Who do you think is going to fund and manage the development of all that? And we have history on this.....

They are. More interesting to see are all the policies in the developing world outright forcing adoption of EVs. See Ethiopia's ban on gas car imports. If a country isn't manufacturing cars and doesn't have oil, it makes no sense to import gas cars and then further pressure your balance of...

The twin energy shocks of the 70s and the low oil prices that follow say otherwise. And back then there were no real alternatives. Now there are. And whatever you or I think sitting comfortably in Canada isn't relevant. Oil demand growth for at least a decade has been driven by China and the...

There's something worse that high prices. Absolute shortage. And no country experiencing this shock the way Asia is right will no go back to status quo ante on importing lots of oil.

If there's an upside here. All that fretting about how the world can't cut oil demand and transition to alternatives. The Hormuz crisis is ripping off the band-aid and forcing a 10 mpbd cut. Wouldn't be the way I would suggest transitioning. But now it's going to happen...

The 8% fuel savings is less relevant to air forces who aren't operating these aircraft at cruise altitudes for 15-20 hrs per day. Operationally, that's not enough to make a difference in TTPs. The only value in doing this is so that the escorts can get gas. Mostly seems like a poor idea...

Companies don't just layoff when in trouble. The CEO does what the board wants to maintain the returns they want. A company can be profitable and still not profitable enough for the shareholders, who in this case are used to outsized returns.

MRTT not certified on 339. It's a different wing. So certification is not minor. We could just buy used 332s and convert.

Again. They may have higher expenses. But their profits more than make up for it. That's my point. Average TTM margin among 200 telcos: 15.55% Rogers: 35.12% Bell: 31.44% https://companiesmarketcap.com/cad/telecommunication/telecommunication-companies-ranked-by-operating-margin/ I...

Nah. It's just greed. Gulf style. Mixed in with egos. It's kinda embarrassing to the Saudis, land of the twin holy cities, largest Arab population in the Gulf to be economically backwards to the UAE. MBS wants to be the Gulf and Arab alpha. The UAE wants to keep their position.

Sure. But they still only cover settled areas, where there are people (who are paying customers). Many of their proponents would have you believe they cover the majority of our geography when they cite how big Canada is. At the end of the day, Rogers and Bell being top 10 on operating margin...
