Shocking . . .

Here's an interesting little TorStar piece: Duncan has a national dream. Interesting on two fronts, I think:

1. If the electrical grid hasn't been addressed to create failsafes that would prevent a general crash of the system such as happened to Ontario, et al a couple summers ago, then it may be just a matter of time before all of Canada is cold and in the dark -- including Alberta (Oh, the irony is palpable).

2. What about the value of the grid for Internet connectivity. There has been activity, and suddenly the backbone is completely linked coast-to-coast-to-coast.
