Nunavut Premier P.J. Akeeagok and his Quebec counterpart François Legault are expected to attend this month’s conference of provincial and territorial government leaders.
Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston will host the 2024 summer meeting of Canada’s premiers, that starts in Halifax on July 15 and lasts three days.
While the Quebec premier’s office did not confirm Legault’s attendance when asked, the Council of the Federation secretariat said it anticipates all the leaders of Canada’s provincial and territorial governments will attend.
Topics for this summer’s gathering are to be released next week, but the improvement of affordability and quality of life for Canadians was at the forefront of the Council of the Federation’s joint statement in April on the federal budget.
This meeting is taking place two months after the Northern Premiers’ Forum in Pond Inlet, where Akeeagok along with the premiers of Northwest Territories and Yukon discussed increased federal investment in infrastructure for a secure North.
Our affordability and quality of life would greatly improve if politicians not spend the money on unnecessary meetings that can be done on zoom. Covid has certainly proved it is possible. This is so wasteful as they are probably staying in the best hotels and eating at some of the best restaurants.
You thinks , our beloved leader , Justin is going to forgo a photo op somewhere .
I am thinking to run as an MLA on the next run up and hopefully be voted as a Premier for Nunavut!
I like the trips that PJ goes on.
Me jealous , of our leaders and their jet set life style.
Provincial and territorial premiers must demand the end of the increasing chem-trailing over Nunavut and Canada. It’s time to care for the land, waters, animals and humans for their safety and health.
This means the Premiers must drop the non stop illusion of climate change disasters. Using climate change as the stick to wrap harsh, strict government controls on the people. Intentionally taking us back into a land of hardship… Flintstone’s living.
As airlines around the world raise fares to cover the cost of the new environmental rules and expensive eco fuels from food.
While the fuel which comes from the ground is left to dry up in storage because of government controls not to explore, pump or market its use. Even made it illegal to talk positively about the stuff.
The Nunavut Premier must give his head a hard shake then put Micro Modular Reactor (MMR) for power generation as the top priority and in place across Nunavut… as of yesterday.
If not, expect a mass migration out of Nunavut. Leaving 3000 plus vacant bone cold frozen homes behind. Or is this is the Nunavut climate change goal, the emptying of Nunavut?
Thanks, MF; in one respect it’s difficult to understand how a large chunk of the population has become so easily duped by the nonsense of human-made climate.
Alternately, it’s obvious that such gullibility is inevitable given the abundance of evidence for folks to have been coerced into blind support for supernatural religious dogma over the centuries.
How can you claim MMRs are a reasonable solution for Nunavut’s power generation? This is Canada’s desperate attempts to get some value out of its Candu program. Funded by the same wacckos supporting the climate conspiracy you’re talking about.
Just saying they are going to make nuclear plans modular is not going to magically make them cost effective for the north. Power plants are a series of modules systems (boilers, controls, etc.). Scaling down something from 1000 of megawatts to 10s of megawatts is not going to be cost effective. It’s economies of scale issue. The capital, operation and regulatory costs are going to be astronomical. Even if they can get social license to build.
The end result is that the government isn’t going to fund needed diesel plants replacements in hopes that the magic boxes (MMRs) become a viable technology. The region is going to stagnate for 20 years waiting and then will be told to wait for the next saving grace which coming around the corner.
