Personally I’d rather see that 16 billion invested in a national high speed rail network. It would also create jobs, and such a network would help to keep Canada connected into the future where the emissions from plane travel will become steadily less defensible.
It seems like the government is saying the plant will create 3000 jobs and add $200 billion to the economy (well covering $16 billion).
But, if I’m reading it right the Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) says it will be 1400 jobs and add a “small” amount to the economy, though the amount will cover the costs. There was also something about the PBO not necessarily having all the info.
I wish they’d just lay it out with what the two sides are saying instead of just scattered through the article.
I honestly can’t tell what your opinion is. Who is Hair Guy? And which course is clear? Assume I’m ignorant and don’t know who the players are or what people think of them…
You don’t need to know whom the players are. Just focus on the ideas and decide on a champion if they can potentially execute a plan for their work area that is better for everyone and best manages the consolidated resources we’ve asked them to use for that goal.
Since Evil Milhouse and his crew still exist, I can see we’re not doing that yet.

The article is really confusing.

The spin is real.
The great take-away news? Even worst-case scenario says
Given the screeching simian response if Hair Guy blinks or balks at it, the course is clear.
