And the exams in smaller classes are typically the more challenging ones to grade.

I agree. It is demoralizing to see Liberal MPs acting like robots in the face of moronic questioning by Conservatives.

I assume it has something to do with risk aversion, as well as the fact that the main actual use of QP Q&A's is in video clips for political ads. It is a bit sad that the parties place no value on intelligent public discussion of government policy.

Saying that companies trade Carbon credits like baseball cards either ignores or misunderstands that the feds and Alberta have agreed to backstop a minimum effective credit price of $130/tonne - i.e. more than the price of baseball cards. That type of misleading statement just muddies the discussion

Not only do you not have a plan. You also do not understand the government's plan which doesn't prevent you from criticizing it loudly. As the article explains, government officials have come up with an effective approach. Before you criticize it, the onus is on you to understand it.

If you think I'm a fool, then it's probably foolish to continue this discussion which is disappointing.

A very interesting article.

I read it through to the end. It's clear that the issues it describes are complex and that there are discussions ongoing between the government and the community. You may recall that one of Carney's first acts was a visit to Inuvik.

The issues of the Algoma plant upgrade and of food shortages in Nunavut are very different. I responded to the one that I know about, which is Algoma where things are playing out as expected except for the accelerated timeline due to tariffs. The article you posted about Nunavut is very interesting.

Everything about the layoffs and government loans was known a year ago, before Carney became PM. You can read about it in old news articles. The only thing that's changed is the timing, due to the US 50% tariff on steel.

I think that Carney's main objective is to have open discussions with all the parties - discussions tied to the facts of the situation which includes the reality of the threat of climate change. I don't believe that he's changed his views on the importance of mitigating damage to the environment.

Not sure what you mean. If you're referring to things the govt has said publicly, then BC and Alberta each know what has been said to the other. I would say that different questions may have been raised by each province and the answers to different questions may be different and still consistent.

A disappointing take. The reason why no companies will take on the pipeline is because, as you say, it's not 2014 and (unlike TMX) the project is not economically viable. What Carney has done is open up a discussion with Alberta and the industry which is likely to lead to projects that make sense.

Optics are in in the eye of the beholder.
