@dyckron uhm...that's what they're saying today.

They also said they were committed to a 3rd shift at Oshawa (which by the way is where they would use that engine).

Never mind the point about EV's, which GM and Ford have proven they won't produce unless there are government subsidies in the US […]

@dyckron @politicalgadgets
For sure, they do good work.

I just found that the Government of Canada posts their contracts online. I'm wondering how hard it would be to do a contracts gadget for Canada....

@dyckron and don't forget they fund political parties and count their alumni in high places.

There's an amazing account called @politicalgadgets that actually visualizes the big contracts the consulting houses win in Australia (amongst other things). I would love having that visibility in […]

@dyckron I dunno, violating personal privacy feels more like an IT play, I'm thinking IBM or Tata or Accenture would fit the bill.

Now, deciding how to spin this so it sounds more MAGA, McKinsey for the win!

@dyckron When the expectation on employees is:

- get all the work done before you go
- be on call and respond to emails while you're gone, and join conference calls too
- catch up immediately
- with no backup support while you're gone

It's the employees fault that they don't feel relaxed after […]

@dyckron exactly...Canada was a little too keen to act on that one.

But it would have taken weeks to evacuate every Canadian from China. Not a practical strategy.

@dyckron Kovrig is an interesting choice as commentary. He was a China expert before his kidnapping and imprisonment, and now with his release and Canada's rapprochement on China, his voice carries a lot of heft.
