The issue is the rush to build driving acceptance of designs that are wasteful. Building for efficiency is the real solution, but that takes time none of the people putting money into this want to spend waiting for things to be done right. Same reason you won't see them being built in the far North; existing access to energy and data transmission infrastructure and available labour to get things done in a hurry are what wins out.

Without violating the NDA, are you able to gesture in the direction of where someone might go looking to find that info for themselves?

People want clarity on how things will play out 15 years into a deal made with Trump? He can't be counted on for a deal to last 15 days.

Most Canadians basically have their net worth in their homes and many treat their homes as their retirement plan. An economy with a solved housing crisis is an economy with a much lower competitive demand for housing, which naturally means lower housing prices, which means most voters in the country seeing their net worth go down and their retirement expectations negatively affected. So, there's a petty strong incentive to pay lip service to solving the crisis, but a very strong disincentive for actually solving it.

You seem really disappointed at not having more low-cost Chinese EVs in Canada sooner. Me too. Many are.

Won't be an issue 10 years in and global brand value is more important, especially when entering a market to compete on price rather than on prestige.

I'd guess people will get used to the brand names. Hyundai was like that too. Most people will eventually settle on some bastardized pronunciation of the name, like this guy.

The only thing I might disagree with is this being a consequence of Carney. Carney is a big part of it, but this move to the right is not just a Carney thing, or even just a Liberal Party thing. There are also Conservatives who feel betrayed by their party for moving too far to the right. It's a substantial move to the right across over 90% of our elected representatives. The shift is bigger and worse than just being a Carney thing.

The curse of being so busy building a legacy worth passing on that you never took time to have someone to pass it on to?

BC produces excellent wines. The Okanagan Valley is a hidden gem in the world of wine and produces very diverse wines. Lots of smaller wineries and smaller vineyards, some big ones.

Carney's not that rich now. He has a long way to go before joining the 9-figure club. Assuming Brookfield’s BGTF I does well, he will be much richer when the fund matures in the 2030's. Who knows, maybe he'll join that club then. The fact that we don't have any idea how much richer he could be made by that fund is kind of nuts to me, but for now he's still a long, long way off of nine figures and is only around 1% of the way to being a billionaire.

"The project is still in its infancy and there is no estimated price tag or timeline for the project."

Wonder how this will play out...
