It's fun to say the constitution gives the federal government jurisdiction over infrastructure that crosses provincial borders.
I imagine it's a bit harder to say that provinces have no say over infrastructure projects that run through their territory.

Desperate Donny posting this West Point plaque that completely undermines his own attacks on Dem leaders raises serious questions about whether Trump is aware of his surroundings and his own actions, has dementia, or is in any way fit to remain in office.

Former Environment Minister Jonathan Wilkinson on scrapping consumer carbon tax: "I think it's unfortunate because it was good public policy, but it was done because Mr. Poilievre had created such a toxic environment around it that it just wasn't worth that kind of a debate in the public sphere."

I agree with this take.

Alberta has a HUGE hill to climb to see this happen.

There is nothing in this agreement that doesn’t have major hoops for Smith to achieve to ever see this pipeline come to fruition.

“I thought there were Boy Scouts on top of the bridge until I passed underneath, and saw what it was,” said Vermue, who captured footage of the demonstration on his vehicle's dash camera. “I immediately thought of stormtroopers from Nazi Germany.”

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.
