Carney will likely just slow roll this with studies.

If it is cheaper, the millions of people in the West GTA, Niagara, KW/Guelph, etc area could use that airport instead of BB to provide relief to Pearson passenger volumes.

Except Pearson isn't at capacity, and Hamilton makes a lot more sense as a relief valve airport than BB, which is inherently an un-scalable airport.

I see rumours that the banning of Telegram (in favour of Kremlin-monitored messaging apps) and the disabling of mobile internet near gov't sites in Moscow and St Petersburg is in preparation for unrest around the planned announcement of general mobilization/draft. Russia is having a hard time...

April 2030 is the absolute latest the election can be called. I doubt they would wait that long.

The scary thing is the US has some significant off-balance sheet liabilities like pension obligations. Some states are essentially insolvent once those are considered.

Of course he capitulated. No one believed that threat for a second. Thing is, Trump can't TACO out of this war. He's going to be forced to eat crow by Iran.

I think you mean far faster. Their deficit to GDP is off the charts.

Ford will soon be the least popular Premier in Canada after a few other impending defeats in other provinces.

I don't think Trump has a concept of how many people will celebrate his death.

If I have a hard schedule (can't flex in the event of delays) in the morning, I'd fly the night before. I have gone for 6:30/7 am flights before, this usually involves waking up at 3 am to be at the airport in time. I'd rather just fly the day before and not have completely disrupted sleep.

It's hard to guarantee you'll be at a 9am meeting even with flying. Flight delays are not that unusual.

I think the issue is that PP is not a compelling alternative. He was riding high because fatigue with Trudeau was so strong. Replacing Trudeau with Carney achieved what many Canadians wanted, and many are sighing with relief that they don't need to accept PP as the alternative.

VP bonuses, contract break fees, management consulting engagements (definitely no kickbacks involved).

Interesting how age dynamics are inverted federally. CPC + OLP have highest support among young people. LPC + OPC (incumbents) have highest support among older people.
