And on that note , I'd like to jump over to more relevant conversation in regards the happenings in Canada over the last 24 - 48 hours.

So in regards to the 1st Day's outcomes from the Canadian Election Campaign - Things are looking good for Sayona in Canada and Quebec as the campaign has been kicked off in that Province.

Particularly with respects to the ' hiring credit ' being proposed by the Liberals might be something that Sayona will be able to participate in as well depending on the number of total ' new ' jobs being potentially created and / or how the combined operations of Authier / NAL / Tansim can be fast-tracked.

The Liberals promised to extend a hiring credit first unveiled in their recent budget through to the end of March 2022. They also pledged to provide extra help to the hardest hit sectors like tourism and live theatre that are facing a steeper climb back to pre-pandemic levels.

" For hard-hit businesses who get the workers they need, to workers who get the jobs they need to support their families, this is a win-win," Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau said in Longueuil, Que. Trudeau said the final bill would be dictated by how quickly the economy recovers and aid would no longer be needed.

Then there is also this bit coming from BOTH the Quebec Party Leader as well as the Green in regards the Environment :- ( Article courtesy of CBC news online )

Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet spent the morning criticizing the inability of the Trudeau government to produce vaccines in Canada, saying that it was necessary for Quebec to have provincial production capacity rather than relying on foreign companies.

He also talked about the environment, telling reporters in English that it was necessary for Alberta to ween itself off of oil and gas with federal help.

"Solutions exist and we are willing to help and to accept the fact that more money would go there," Blanchet said, "because we are all going to pay, the whole planet, if nothing is done."

Similarly, Green Leader Annamie Paul called for an end to the construction of new pipelines, fracking, and oil and gas exploration so Canada could reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reshape the economy.

"We are going to be talking a lot about our green future and the climate in this election," Paul said at an event in Toronto. "We are going to be talking concretely about how we get from here to there and how we can ensure a safe, sustainable future that ensures that Canada becomes a competitive, green, global economy."
