The section about electricity sounds a lot like ‘We want to build nuclear powerplants’ to me.

would love to see them streamline things and I’m glad they mentioned the IMF report, it is almost like the feds need to mediate / moderate the inter-provincial negotiations, or they just don’t happen, they just fall back into protectionist stances.
the streamlining of credentials and materials will also help

Seems like the Alberta MOU was a trial run for a broader slew of environmental policy changes aimed at making it easier to build other forms of electricity generation (e.g. gas-fired).
ThoughtsandThinkers on
In some trades and professions, there are some real differences in provincial standards and regulations. I wonder how they’ll harmonize that
For example, being an electrician or plumber or welder in jurisdictions where skyscrapers are rare versus common might impact what you have to know. Should they adopt the low standard so everyone can work? Should they adopt the high standard but create inefficient requirements for some? Putting in more rules (you can do X in setting Y if you have Z) carries its own costs

Any word on knocking down interprovincial barriers any time soon?

No talk of AI on this was nice. Given the AI bubbles outta pop “sometime soon” Carny talking about investing in it had me sweating a bit.
I should note I’m not against SOME investment in the tech but we should be careful, conservative and regulate its use where prudent.
