    Just forecasting here... 

    It's going to be Carney's Liberals vs. Jagmeet's NDP vs. Pierre's Conservatives. 

    In general, what do we think is going to happen? 

    If I absolutely had to put money on it right now... I would say Conservative minority.

    I think a con majority is PP’s to lose at this point. There is simply so much liberal/JT fatigue out there, the liberal attempt to paint him as Trump Light has largely failed as far as I can tell. I think people want a government that can get shit done, and might be willing to put all their chips in on this one. 

    He’s confident, he’s a good speaker, he’s good looking (yes, I’m sorry, that has an affect). Not to mention people likely see him as someone who csn foster a decent relationship with Trump, stroking his ego just enough for him to give us what we want/need. 

    I could see the NDP gaining support from liberals moving away from the party, but not willing to vote con. I don’t know public sentiment of Jagmeet enough though to know.

    I was wondering if we could just up our energy prices to the US in response to the tariffs and it looks like Doug Ford is also throwing our critical minerals on the table, too. What about water? Can we hold that over their heads?


    I guess we are throwing that on the table as much as Alberta wants their money... How about that water? 




    Americans view Canada as a kind of “51st State” for mineral supply purposes https://aheadoftheherd.com/water-the-next-us-canada-trade-irritant/



    It looks like electricity, oil, and critical minerals are on the table thus far.
