AI Grows on Rail
With the adoption of analytical AI and gen, Canada could help unlock the business potential that these new technologies can bring. Railway companies have already begun to implement various AI technologies for around 20 key use cases. Greater adoption could unlock an estimated $13 billion to $22 billion in impact a year, globally. In Canada, these efforts save thousands of wildlife incidents every year. Perhaps its time for communalities to create attraction strategies to entice related companies to cluster manufacturing efforts here in Canada?
COVID-19 Residue
The pandemic and corresponding national responses appear to be honing and accelerating several trends that were already underway before the outbreak. COVID-19 brought global health and healthcare issues into sharp relief, exposed and in some cases widened social fissures, underscored vast disparities in healthcare access and infrastructure, and interrupted efforts to combat other diseases. The pandemic also highlighted weaknesses in the international coordination on health crises and the mismatch between existing institutions, funding levels, and future health challenges. What’s going on in behind the scenes planning?
Compressed Air Energy Storage
(CAES) Opportunities
Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) systems convert excess electricity into potential energy by compressing air, storing it, and then using it to generate electricity when needed. These systems offer a promising solution for balancing electricity supply and demand, particularly with fluctuating renewable energy sources, and can provide long-duration energy storage. The opportunities are endless and cost effective for firming up the grid.
Smartmeters into the Future
Did you ever wonder what all of that effort went into the Smartmeter conversion? We take a dive into the real strategies connected to Smartmeters as they carve off your household electrical circuit to charges your electric car. You need to know this.
Why is the CBC

The Spread of Dead Shopping Malls
Dramatic trade issues will effect every community in Canada. A significant number of shopping malls were already experiencing closure due to factors like the rise of e-commerce, changing consumer preferences, and the economic impact of the pandemic. Studies and research indicate that a substantial portion of malls are projected to close in the coming years, with some projections suggesting up to 87% of large shopping malls may close within 10 years. Imagine your community with large shopping malls being mothballed. What happens to the tax base and the retail supply landscape? What will happen to the buildings and infrastructure? There have been people on this problem.
How the public healthcare model could suddenly become very exciting?
We take a look at the potential of Auryvedic Healthcare Clinics in Canada as being part of complimentary wellness strategy that could reduce the pressure on public healthcare – while still being public healthcare.
Potash: Canada’s Buried Treasure
A front and centre risk for the US is not having potash. The United States imports over 90% of its potash from Canada, and the total amount imported is close to 91%. The US produces very little potash, accounting for less than 10% of its needs. Potash is very hard to find on global markets and without Canada, Trump will have to use a Russian area code. Potash is a vital plant nutrient that is used in fertilizers. Industrial agriculture in the US is completely dependent on it.
