Adam Pankratz: Like it or not, Canada’s economy is tied to the U.S.

I’d sure like to. However, even if you support Canadian economic diversification and believe in Canada’s potential (as I very strongly do) our track record for rapid, decisive delivery of large-scale infrastructure in the last 20 years is at best poor and, more realistically, pathetically embarrassing. The Northern Gateway, Energy East are long consigned to the graveyard of “should have been built” and mining projects like Rook I has been stuck in federal permitting hell for six years despite provincial project approval, indigenous consent and full project financing being completed, with no further hearings scheduled until November.
