East-West Grid Investment: $3B

⚠ This is a flightplan, not a commitment. Flightplans are hypothetical policy proposals modelled in the Ducklings causal simulation. They become projects only when voted into adoption through Consensus. Metrics shown reflect simulation model outputs, not real-world outcomes.

Impact figures are simulation model outputs from the Ducklings causal engine (BFS cascade, 3-hop depth, strength-weighted edges). They represent projected effects, not real-world outcomes.

Overview

Federal investment in interprovincial electricity transmission corridors: Manitoba-Ontario, Quebec-Atlantic, BC-Alberta. Chain: grid_interconnection_investment -> interprovincial_transmission_capacity (+0.50, d12) + infrastructure_spending (immediate) + budgetary_balance (-, immediate). The 12-epoch delay on transmission capacity reflects the reality of building high-voltage lines.

Ducklings Simulation

This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 39). The simulation models downstream effects using a BFS cascade engine with strength-weighted, time-delayed edges capped at 3-hop depth and ±25% per-hop limits. Cascade outputs are bounded by variable saturation thresholds.
