I’m not sure why the embed isn’t working on this one, but it’s worth a watch.

That’s not what the article says, but it would certainly make more sense.

BUT the current standard toll is $8.00 CAD, while the Ambassador Bridge toll seems to be $14.00 CAD.

Like I said, it’s possible I’m misunderstanding something about the tolls, but that’s my interpretation.

The other piece of the “new deal” that seems to be new is the wording about the Americans having approval about changes to the tolls - Reuters says this means the US can veto any toll hike over 10% of the current value, which…I don’t know, it seems like such a hike would be in their best interests to approve should it be proposed, since it would lead to more of the net revenue they seem to care so deeply about.

I’m also unclear about whether the “regional investment” the new deal refers to is some kind of new money unrelated to tolls. It would be nice to get clarity there.

Assuming all the toll revenue goes toward the reimbursement of construction and operational costs, the net revenue should be zero for many years to come.

I could be wrong about any of this, because it’s based on news reports and noth the original documents, so grain of salt, but:

As near as I can tell, the original deal said Canada would charge tolls, which will be used to reimburse the Canadian government for the funds it spent to build the span, and Michigan would get half once that happened.

So the main new bit is the language around “net profits,” which doesn’t seem to change this original agreement.

Seems like this decision was made strongly based on this individual’s history and that everyone’s safety was considered.

Indeed - the judge’s own words deserve consideration.

“It is not without some reluctance that I thus dismiss this judicial review application, because it means leaving Ms. Cooper, a woman, in a male institution. These reasons and judgment should not be viewed, however, as any kind of blanket determination that a transgender or gender-diverse inmate who is designated as a [dangerous offender] cannot be transferred to an institution that aligns with their gender identity, and that may happen eventually for Ms. Cooper. Each such case will depend on their unique circumstances."

What even is time

Dang, that is a solid lineup.

Sure, I guess you got me.

My understanding is that pipelines are federal jurisdiction, so there’s very little the provinces can do if push comes to shove. I’m not super well-versed on the subject, though.

Without knowing exactly who was involved - and that seems to be the case, so far - you can’t say it was any of them, because you don’t know. This shouldn’t be hard to grasp.

If there were a bunch of people protesting a bunch of different things, it would be irresponsible to declare the supporters of any one particular issue to be the ones who did this.

However, throughout Houston’s speech, the crowd outside grew louder with an increasing number of people protesting about a variety of issues.

Canada has reached a deal to join the Global Combat Air Program as an “observer,” Canadian government sources said.

The U.K., Japan and Italy are all partners in the multibillion-dollar program to develop and build the sixth-generation fighter jet by 2035.

…

The official described getting observer status as a “first step” in the program that would open the door to classified talks about what Canada could bring to the table.

The Canadian government isn’t making any financial or policy commitments by becoming an observer, but considers it a key partnership to be able to upscale Canadian technology, the official said.

I wouldn’t want to be his lawyer right now…

I’m a little nervous based on how things turned out for Valour, but the management will hopefully be better this time around.

Frain played Sarek on Discovery - he was played by the late Ben Cross (who was also very good) in the Kelvin films.

Yeah, it seems he may have thought he was free to speak, and been very mistaken.

But here’s a screengrab!

Well, it’s a settlement - the judiciary has nothing to do with it.
