The Canadian aluminum smelters in Arvida and Kitimat were built at the same time as the hydro electric plants that power them. The hydro generation plants were built by the Aluminum Company of Canada (Alcan) and excess power goes into the electricity grid. Very difficult to compete with that.

Trudeau did not fail to bring in proportional representation. He campaigned with the intention of bringing in ranked balloting. Instead of forcing it through when he could, he sent it to committee where no consensus was reached. Instead of compromising with a small improvement the NDP flat out refused anything but proportional representation. With ranked balloting the NDP would consistently win more seats than they do now and we would have more minority governments where compromising would result in more progressive legislation.

Last comment, you posted the details for the days drive for Perseverance not Curiosity. Thanks, I do enjoy the posts.

One party in Canada always has reduction of taxes as a major campaign promise. To be elected you can not inform voters that maintaining or increasing services will require higher taxes so we suffer with reduced services. The world needs to resume taxing businesses and the oligarchy.
