Well, it's interesting because just to pull on this thread a little bit more, I know we like to shit on all levels of government, but the Carney government was out recently saying, listen, Canada wants to double its electricity generation by 2050, obviously, because demand is exploding through EVs, AI data centers, electrification of buildings, etc.,

So the realization that there's going to be massive upgrades to your electrical infrastructure.

And one of the ones that they've sort of highlighted in their in their announcement recently is actually that Canada is going to have to use natural gas to power those grids, which is kind of diverting away from the Trudeau era.

on their clean electricity regulations, where they basically were targeting a net zero electricity grid by 2030.

So they were targeting a net zero electricity grid by 2035.

It seems like they basically are pulling a complete 180 from that.

No, you're right.

Well, I mean, I think it's encouraging that, you know, at least some things are hopefully shifting in the right direction as much as we like to belabor them.
