Just so I understand, this sell off of NS occurred over 30yrs ago, in 1992, correct? It was done in order to lower the debt of NS and was sold for what seems to be the incredibly tiny amount of of 192$ million, which even going back to 1992 seems small.

Not aware of the ins and outs of what happened in NS with electricity but the issue could have been poorly structured terms done by the Provincial Gov't. Could they have have been 'incompetent' in the ability to negotiate a good deal?

@HavokFour laid out in the posting directly after mine the best examples on why this is positive issue for large scale investment purposes.

So if Harper says that we were right to walk away from the recent US deal will have be good enough for those doubting Carney on here? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/livestory/carney-investment-summit-tariffs-trillion-protests-9.7344307...

This report is as of 29 June, so all information is 2.5 months out of date - which means, all information/data is ‘lower’ than what the current information would be. With that being said: “Iranian strikes have damaged and destroyed ‘hundreds of buildings and structures’ at US bases in the...

Or a 90s PC.

Yes, its 20XX. LOL :)

LOL Let's see, all of Russians bank have been cut from SWIFT since the invasion of Ukraine.

There are already 12 of these open around the world, 2 in the US, one in NYC and one in Washington.

Shame its an inter-connected market place and that diesel (a commodity) will be priced at what the market will bear. Maybe if Trump figured out how to end the war that he and Bibi started that diesel/oil/nat gas/helium/etc can all start flowing again and supply will start to match demand and...

LOL Read a report that the oil gains in selling to the US has more than offset the losses of our other exports. Overall the trade deficit with them will most likely increase in 2026 as a result.

US 10yr bond at 5% this morning. CAD is falling against USD as a result of the implied US 1/4 rate increase that may occur on Wednesday. This will make CDN exports cheaper to the US and US exports to Canada (and around the world) more expensive, driving up the US trade deficits...
