And at some point you walk away from the lot and you think maybe this looked like a nice car, but I don't really want to buy from these people.

So I'm not sure there is much of a strategy there.

I noted this week the Greenland thing was on again in a big way.

And maybe it was incredibly incredible what was happening over there.

And then you think,

This is not really a strategy.

It's just, you know, the recurring moves, I'm not saying they don't harm Greenland or Canada or whatever, but it just makes you say these are not serious people, even if the stakes are really serious.

I'm not hearing that there's much talking.

So maybe Bruce's hearing is closer to that.

I didn't associate realism with this administration, so I figure this is an optimistic statement.

I already mentioned the blessings for the apps, so I'm not going to go there.

This was the week when the new government, well, the incoming government of Newfoundland and Labrador signaled that it wanted to renegotiate the agreement on...

Churchill Falls, an agreement with Quebec that is of, I believe, major importance to both governments.

And I think it was an encouraging week in the sense that all three parties, well, four, Hydro-Quebec, Hydro-Newfoundland, and both governments do want to talk.

But I also believe that this is something to watch.

Why?

Because Mark Carney, just a week and a half ago, set out a goal to...

to increase Canada's electrical output substantially.

And he can only do that if the provinces can get along to be more productive and better at planning the future on this.

And the first test of this, I believe, is the possibility of a final agreement between Newfoundland, Labrador and Quebec on this longstanding issue.
