book took shook soup

So the meeting yesterday defined some criteria for projects, rather than specifying projects themselves. Each premier yesterday had to come with five projects that would be 'nation building'. At the end they all agreed on these criteria:

  • Strengthen Canada’s autonomy, resilience, and security.
  • Offer undeniable benefits to Canada and support economic growth.
  • Have a high likelihood of successful execution.
  • Are a high priority for Indigenous leaders.
  • Have clean growth potential, such as the use of clean technologies and sustainable practices.

So in addition to what I posted yesterday about projects that I would like to see, another one I would add is to have the Government of Canada along with First Nations place a standing order for SMRs such that every remote indigenous community can have an SMR to replace their diesel power source. I would ask the Canadian government's nuclear approval team work faster to approve the SMRs and then open them up to foreign markets. In this way sales to other countries can help the manufacturing of these to become more streamlined to lower their costs. If we can mass produce SMRs we can be a leading supplier of them globally.
