Canada is pricing itself out of major infrastructure projects - Prince Albert Daily Herald
Dr. Joseph Fournier is a senior fellow at the Frontier Centre for Public Policy. An expert in economic analysis and structural policy, his research focuses on productivity, regional migration, and sustainable economic renewal in Canada. Joseph Fournier Canada has a nation-building problem that no new investment fund can fix: major infrastructure projects simply cost too much to build. The Trans Mountain expansion is a striking example. The cost of adding pipeline capacity ended up nearly five times higher than originally estimated. When infrastructure costs escalate that dramatically, investment returns disappear and private capital goes elsewhere. The Carney government believes a debt-financed Sovereign Wealth Fund can help attract foreign sovereign wealth funds, global investment giants like BlackRock and Brookfield, and major pension funds. But throwing more money at increasingly expensive projects does not solve the underlying problem. Capital costs matter the way wages matter: if you pay twice as much per hour for the same work, your business fails. If a country pays two to five times more per unit of infrastructure than its peers, its prosperity falters.

Imagine if we could dispense with Google and switch to a less commercial, easier to use and more privacy-respecting internet search engine. Which is to say, a service like the old Google, launched 26 years ago on the nascent internet’s founding principle that “Information wants to be free.”

New study detects silent atherosclerosis in healthy young adults - News-Medical
Atherosclerosis, the process underlying most cardiovascular diseases, begins long before the first symptoms appear. An international study led by Professor Henning Bundgaard, Professor of Cardiology at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Dr Borja Ibáñez, Scientific Director of the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III, CNIC, cardiologist at Hospital Universitario Fundación Jiménez Díaz and a group leader at CIBERCV, shows that the disease can already be detected in apparently healthy young adults and is much more common than previously thought. The results, presented today in a Hot Line session at ESC Congress 2026 and published simultaneously in The New England Journal of Medicine, show that 57.1% of the more than 16,000 participants included in the study had atherosclerotic plaques, despite having no symptoms or previous diagnosis of cardiovascular disease.
