Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

[Good2Golf]

The wild card will be Ontario - what can Carney do to the hold the line in Ontario.........keep the auto sector 'as is' and throw in some SMR's, mining and expanded manufacturing for the CAF and he'll be golden.

Carney is closer to being a PC of pre-CPC days than he is a hard Red Grit. Time will tell where Ontario heads, but Carney has some *room to play closer or farther from Ford as need be to fine tune to positives, especially from the GTA.

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.

That's a lot of coin for Ontario if an Ontario based firm wins the contract.

Doubtful.

Go tell them to go work two jobs. Or cut grass.

Right?

People are aware that you need to start at the bottom and do shit jobs to get up the corporate ladder. But many cannot even get a foot in the door.

Nobody is asking to start at the top. People are asking to start. And once they start, they are asking to make enough to be able to save for things like a house, being financially secure enough to start a family and the like.

Armyrick said it beautifully. Nobody should need to work 70 hours a week to cover the bare essentials.

Some kids cannot even get these jobs.

Prove this utter bullshit why don't you?

The question is - does Carney start to eat any of PP's lunch in Alberta and Saskatchewan if shovels go into the ground for the new pipelines (oil and nat gas), new SMR's using uranium and more potash being developed/shipped. That's the real question.

An expanded naval footprint on the EC and the WC, along with a larger CAF presence in NB, will lock up the Maritimes for the Libs. Throw in Davie building CDC's and some sort of SAAB or GCAP footprint in QC and that might hold QC for them. The wild card will be Ontario - what can Carney do to the hold the line in Ontario.........keep the auto sector 'as is' and throw in some SMR's, mining and expanded manufacturing for the CAF and he'll be golden.

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.

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.

Almost as silly as turning their guns inward.

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.
