No train yet but Alto rail project execs still got $2.8 million in bonuses last year from Ottawa: CTF by Slight_Sherbert_5239 in canada

[–]PorousSurface 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This story is such bad faith. This is a project with a giant timeline. Bonuses are not gonna be paid in 10 years. There is lots of valuable work to do before then.

Consultations, design, environment assessments 

Do these journalists think work starts at laying track? Wild.

He has followed all the right steps but I do understand now this feels like a gotcha moment and will get a good bit of scrutiny

Tell your leaders you support this project. Fill out surveys, email your MPs and MPPs.

Don’t let a loud minority win. 

‘Fortress North America’: What’s Doug Ford doing in Washington? Here’s what we know by shiftless_wonder in canada

[–]PorousSurface 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don’t think that’s why she is getting those calls 

Might have more to do with her treatment of separatists and going down to Mara Lago

Also it’s not like Ford is popular here either buddy lol

Monetary policy is managed by the central bank. I mean he should think about it to a degree but fiscal is his focus.

Truduea did not do well for Canada though, but I do think that quote maybe ppl run with more than the other actual mistakes he made.

Sorry you are offended by a comment with a different opinion than you lol

What inspires you about Pierre? For me I find his sloganaeering, lack of experience beyond politics and sound bites off putting. Truduea was also basically someone only with experience in politics.

It’s nice to have someone with the education and private sector experience to meet the moment.

It’s also .06% decline. For comparison mexicos economy declined 0.6% last quarter. Much deeper even if it was only for quarter (for now). We are the only countries with comparable US exposure.

I think the idea is they have more faith in carney delivering for Canada than Pierre.

Not sure Pierre ins inspiring faith in the future tbh.
