Canada in a nutshell. Living in the past. No clue about the reality of our current situation.
This guy should be fired @CTVNews.
This is EXACTLY why people don’t trust the media.
Maybe he can get a job at The Breakdown.
Every shred of evidence to the contrary!

Bots dominate X and drive division. This platform needs a solution.
Sick of watching people lose it over some intentionally insane statement from a bot that is only meant to create division.

@rorysutherland there is a massive opportunity for someone to rebrand electricity for electric cars from kWH to whatever that resonates (like your horse power analogy - maybe it’s litres of Juice?)
What should it be? Who lead the rebrand?

I remember when a very expensive orange juice and $90k in expenses the senate committee couldn’t clarify who owed basically took down a government.
The federal government recently revealed it will not recoup $34-million in funds spent on ineligible environmental technology projects, drawing criticism from the official opposition.

This is utterly insane
Outrage in France after Bally Bagayoko, the far-left mayor of the country’s most infamous no-go zone Saint-Denis joined student rioters who were attacking a high school in the area.
He could be seen laughing with them, giving high fives and jumping up and down.
Bagayoko is the mayor of 150 000 people, of which around 90% are immigrants, second-generation migrants and third-generation migrants.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know

Gov funded fake news. But it’s in service of their greater good so that’s okay.

I am torn on this one. Any private investors will want to maximize revenue. And flight costs (like online shipping costs) are not rational. Small flight price changes can kill thousand dollar holidays and work trips. But public run isn’t ideal. We shall see I guess.
Mark Carney: "We've had several decades of experience around the world, with the process not of privatizing the airports but moving towards an arrangement where private operators come in to manage the airports for a period of decades, the underlying assets, the underlying airport retained by the government."

If this is accurate then we have a natural gas industry ready to explode
🇨🇦Canada announces Productivity Mega Deduction.
It will make Canada one of the most attractive places to invest, from CapEx taxes point.
Here is what it means and the details:
The federal government is proposing to let businesses deduct the full cost of most new capital investments in the year they become available for use, on a permanent basis.
> About two-thirds of investment in capital assets would qualify, up from about 15% under Budget 2025's Productivity Super-Deduction.
> It would apply to most depreciable property acquired on or after September 15, 2026, and to Canadian development expenses incurred on or after that date.
> Excluded: Class 1 and 3 buildings, franchises, licences and goodwill, regulated natural gas distribution pipelines, certain vehicles, and some other specified property.
> Manufacturing and processing buildings keep the temporary immediate expensing from Budget 2025.
> Used assets qualify only if the buyer or a related party never owned them and they weren't transferred through a tax-deferred rollover.
> Estimated incremental cost: $36B over five years, starting in 2026-27.
> Canada's marginal effective tax rate on new investment would drop to 6.4%, compared with 16.9% in the U.S. and an OECD average of 19.0%.
Specific to LNG:
> Liquefaction equipment would get a 100% write-off, claimable only against income from liquefaction at that facility.
> It would apply to equipment acquired on or after November 4, 2025.
> LNG facilities would not need to meet the emissions-intensity requirement proposed in the Spring Economic Update 2026. Big one❗️
Excellent initiative.
It's a bet on attracting investment and it's growth will outweigh the cost.

He is setting an example but it might not be the one we want. Now you realize how much Trump needs to win this. Every deal will be compared to this so if he holds back he will get attacked from every angle. This is a dangerous game.

Mark Carney says Justin Trudeau’s climate policy was PERFECT for its time.
It was a complete DISASTER. Canada didn’t lower emissions at all and destroyed our economy.
That’s a DOUBLE catastrophe
