I would block Alberta from separating if I was from the rest of Canada also. A significant amount of people from both Eastern and Western Canada make above average wages and take them home to spend in their local towns. A large portion of goods travel through Ab on the way east or west to get to...

That is an assumption made. I wonder what supporting documents and or research you have to back that up? Funny I was still in School then, I do not think I was driving much during that time frame. But I remember the big discussions about it. I remember some of the issues with the new fuel...

Some of the industries I have been part of have automated very well, displacing workers. Mainly due to skill level and experience to perform tasks. Where they laid off on the physical side they hired on the Tech side. It balances itself out sort of. The issue with Wind Turbines and even Solar...

I think Trump did one thing that hurt him and is going to hurt his economy the most. They (US) buy goods at a low rate, repackage, rebadge it maybe do a bit of assembly, then sell it at a much higher rate to their customers. Is not a bad way of keeping markets going and creating jobs. The...

In the town where I live they just built a high school and it offers welding• cosmetology• art,• mechanics,• and woodworking. Pretty decent offering if you ask me. Red Deer Polytech trains over 2000 various apprentices a year in various trades. Seems pretty good numbers and the demand is there...

Is Davie not building the ferries for delivery in 2027/2028 time frame. It seems there is more to the story then just Davie crapped the bed. With design changes and TC changing the plan and not signing off on the actual contract. It makes one wonder where the issues are. Honestly with all the...

For a multiple reasons, not just the threat of separation. A main one was how they insisted on products being labeled in both French and English. When consumer markets were English and or English Spanish. Along with some of the major corruption scandals that were beginning to evolve at the time.

What CSS and Engineer Units were amalgamated? Ultimately if the Military needs to stand down one unit and stand up another then so be it. I look at 15 Field Regiment and 5th BC Field Regiments. I know the 5th has gone from Regt to Bty back to Regt. I know the men and women serving had no...

The Regular Force should also then. That's a large problem for units on the West Coast or northern parts of the provinces. How about the we stand up a Air reserve with Helicopters and Hercs who can fly to local Airports, Pickup the units and deliver them to the training areas. You can male it...

They could install simulators in the Armories and base the actual K9s at the training centers. Hire the Techs to maintain them there. On a long stretch you could outsource most of the maintenance to local Civi companies. Ya someone is going to say they need security clearance and also know how...

AI posting is getting down right criminal. Needs to be addressed sooner then latter.

They have large large oil and gas reserves they are not developing. They are "profiting" off the backs of others in the country by not charging a proper price for their services. I think the latest figures are $60billion in debt. With an aging infrastructure. Crown corps are good but when they...

Alberta does sell lots of refined product to consumers. They also sell Heavy crude that has been upgraded to sell to market. The difference is one form of resource gets taxed heavily the other does not. Do not forget the cheap electricity Quebec buys from Newfoundland and sells for a nice...

How does it work for Quebec hydro then? The program seems similar to a tax shelter, but I guess a easy way would be for Alberta to add all oil and gas production under a crown corporation, then taxation would be different then it is now.

Does the The F35 not have the capability to transmit on Link 16, but they loose their stealth? There are solutions and workarounds. The question is do we want to integrate them into any Airborne Electronic aircraft? Does the US want to sell us platforms such as their Freedom 550 radio for...
