Nuclear fusion is the primary function of our sun. Unlike fission, which powers nuclear power plants, fusion has the advantage that it does not produce waste, but has the drawback that requires conditions that are difficult to reproduce outside our star: the confluence of deuterium and tritium nuclei, which “fuse” in helium nuclei, requires a temperature of at least 100 million degrees. Plasma is then formed, a state of matter whose density must be sufficient and permanent – so that other atomic nuclei continually meet and fuse. Theoretically, we then get an inexpensive and inexhaustible power supply. It is recognized…

Keeping inflation at reasonable levels is clearly an important goal, but this key rate increase came at a really bad timing. In fact, 62% of small and medium-sized businesses are still collapsing under the weight of their pandemic debt, which amounts to an average of $158 thousand. It is increasingly expensive to do business in Canada. High operating costs, high interest rates and labor shortages are putting SMEs in a difficult position,” warns Simon Goudreau, chief economist and vice president of research at CFIB. Nearly a third of small and medium-sized businesses (32%) plan to increase prices by 6% over…

It’s funny, guilty. It lands one day in our skies, and by the time we humans can see its tail, it disappears into the depths of the universe. Without leaving a return address or date.

When he was in the Parti Québécois, François Legault issued a warning: “If there is a slowdown or a recession, Quebec will bring Canadian federalism to its knees,” while the Sovereign promised him the opposite of better days.

Needless to say, the increased need for political stability in times of economic uncertainty also makes him argue that it is best to leave an experienced team “with both hands at the wheel”.…
