Because the last time a Liberal PM built a pipeline it was too divisive and costly, this PM will checks notes do exactly the same thing again.

TMX 2: Electric Boogaloo!

Any bets on initial-final cost spread this time?

Through Build Canada Homes and BC Housing, the senior governments will "convert more than 2,200 vacant condo units in priority growth areas into affordable homes," the Prime Minister's Office said in a statement.

So, they are going to buy more than half of the current absorbed condo market in the Vancouver CMA?! Average cost of these unabsorbed condos is $2.2M. That's a 4.48 billion dollar bailout to developers, or double the cost of the new skytrain routes! All paid for with YOUR taxes. This is insane!

The risk that Canadian data collected by connected vehicles are accessed and exploited increases when these data are sent to — or transit through — foreign jurisdictions with more permissive data management frameworks

A valid concern! Why not consider the same thing for vehicles from other jurisdictions?

The Chinese government has shown their intention to try to use any technology that they can to advance their own goals... [and] that would include using Chinese EVs to collect data that they could be compelled back in China to use for whatever purposes they feel.

Terrible! But also very^1^, very^2^ familiar^3^.

In 2017, the Chinese government passed its National Intelligence Law, which requires any Chinese companies to comply with state orders to hand over any information.

So, just like the American CLOUD Act? And Bill C-22 right here in Canada?

Sounds like it isn't a problem with Chinese EVs, but instead it's a problem with Canada's approach to privacy.

Pull on the new flesh like borrowed gloves and burn your fingers once again.

It's almost like raising prices without improving the service causes people to cancel 🤔

Is the image proxy broken?

I get a small box saying "Print pretty" from the comment link in Connect, gif wont load in the comment itself.

When I open the link externally in Firefox I get:

• window: {"error":"unknown","message":"Record not found"}

Is anyone else experiencing this? Or am I doing something wrong? Thank you!

Lots of reasons to be looking at the framework Canada just published for consumer-driven (open) banking, but I thought this was a gem:

from "2.10 A Single Technical Standard"

...The Framework will significantly decrease the risks of personal data being compromised by bad actors and mitigate security, privacy, and liability risks for consumers and participants. This is achieved through the use of APIs, a type of software that acts as secure data “pipes” to enable different products and services to communicate in a consistent manner.

If an API is a pipe, is the Internet a series of tubes?
