Yeah, I’d just say that some of the provisions say X has to happen or we won’t do Y, and I didn’t see that language around interview. I’d also note that one thing that’s within Alberta’s control but gets no mention in there is backing off its renewables restrictions.

I appreciate the optimism, but I'm not sure how much closer we are to greater interties than previously. Ottawa always wants them, but provinces rarely get past the hurdles, and nothing here really compels them to do so unless I'm missing something.

I think this is actually a softening of federal plans, though, which to this point were a 75% methane reduction by 2030.

Careful adjustment might be a slight understatement if among other things they’re effectively scrapping the Clean Electricity Regulations, but we’ll see tomorrow.

(I suspect that is indeed what they're most worried about, but it can be hard for that to come through the pipeline-obsessed political narrative.)

(Not that the PM has been directly negotiating himself that much, to my understanding, but obviously he sets the direction and makes the decisions.)

I avoided it based on word of mouth. But Attack of the Clones is the only movie that’s ever caused me to fall asleep in the theatre.

This also seems like one of the easier political wins possible. Countless parents (among others) would applaud.

Legalizing sports gambling made sense, just as legalizing cannabis made sense. But the airwaves aren't flooded with cannabis ads. Why are gambling ads any better?

Relatedly, I stand by this column from last winter, which plays off an interview with the minister turfed by Carney shortly thereafter. (It's possible there were other good reasons to move him, but I don't think this perspective was among them.) www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

I mean, fed-prov relations are messy by nature. But I’m not sure it helps when PMs (he’s not the first) are guided largely by a desire to prove they can do it better than their predecessors, and are disinterested in learning from those predecessors’ experiences.
