Buying debt is very different from buying the equity. That was then, this is now! What a different a little war in the Middle East makes.

It is really close. I hear the bond rating agencies want more certainty on BC's DRIPA problem before saying yes, which will then cascade to all the other 'yes'. I forget if it was ARC at Cedar or Woodfibre, who recently sold 20 years of off take.

Wowza. After seeming de-emphasis of Canada for Shell.

The Alberta government is slowly coming to the realization that this is the project. The feds are already there. The BC province is okay with it.

Yes. Was studied as part of the TMX project and rejected as it added more pipeline, and the capacity wasn't worth the for the incremental amount of export expected (none). The coal facility doesn't need as much land as it once did. Part of it has been repurposed as a potash facility in the mean...

So much being known about the southern route reduces risk by a lot. Sure there are tight points which will require lots of work to go around, but tunnels while more expensive up front are cheaper than trying to run directional drilling 3 times and failing or other misadventures south south of...

As said before, the outcome here is the rules, to help reset the equilibrium of the number of units the city will produce at given levels of demand. The effect of the rule change will be far less in Calgary than Vancouver or Toronto. So be careful what you wish for?

Tbh a combined field house and stadium (up to a certain size) has some economies of scale. Not a huge amount but some. Definitely some economies of imagination. Two projects that never seem to get across the line, mashed together, become successful. Something like Forsyth Barr in New Zealand...

They get an extra day of media cycle this way.

“Studies are underway to gauge private-sector interest and examine the use of icebreakers to extend the port's short shipping season.” The studies are likely to find that extending the season year round would be devastating to polar bears, and that given winds on the bay, would require far more...

The old library will be sold with it.

I wonder, it is pretty unconventional. An interchange where you split phases. Bottom, only the straight phases - people still have lights, but it just switches between the two phases. 5 metres above, a small intersection, only left turns. 1 lane in from each direction, 1 lane out to each...

HUGE drops. Pre Stoney (November 2022): Post Stoney (April 2024):

Japan does this not uncommonly, but typically it is due to evolutions of historical anachronisms, not proactive implementation of it as a solution. I think there are a few instances of tram trains and trams sharing urban segments in Germany as well.

I suspect the province's hope is that the recovery communities will break the cycle, and enable the DIC to live the mission where the 5% not diverted to housing no longer accumulates into a large persistently unhoused population.
