Long past are the days that a working class kid can make it. The cost has turned hockey into a neppo factory.

I so don`t care about pro sports anymore. I`ll watch the Winnipeg Jets and most of the CFL games I can, but the rest? From whiny NHL players complaining about the cold and taxes; to gambling ads 24/7/365, to the two Cdn sports networks talking Leafs and Blow Jays all frickin day. I'm done with...

JFC, they made a stupid decision, coupled with an incredible lack of knowledge of the coastal sea lanes by our politicians. None of them seem to have the capability to interpret a nautical chart.

If the terminal is to be at Robert’s Bank, then that mean a f-ton urban infrastructure to pass through. I still maintain that PR is by far the safest and cheapest option.

All great until the plebes storm the gates and the guards say fuck it, I’ll take your helicopter and your passwords and GTFO.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but have we even had an inquiry into our Covid response? Or how our governments (municipal, provincial, federal) failed to control/stop a small group of protestors.

I've read Turtledove. I used to really like his work but then he got pretty repetitive (IMO).

I have more: It'll be a 3 day military operation; We bombed the hell out of them and they're crying to talk to us; We'll be home by Christmas; etc, etc

Cough - "A mere matter of marching" - cough

Work on the icebreakers

Ok. this is not fair to our folks. The PLA, PLAN, and PLAAF have ceremonial marching contingents. THAT IS ALL THEY DO!!!!!

I remember those days. But the entire government fleet was approaching rust out at the turn of the century and we could have kept the expertise that we had spent billions (for the 3rd time) developing gainfully employed while the design for the AORs was finalized. Instead we said “that’s it!”...

We should have had a replacement for PRO and PRE in ready to start being constructed once Ottawa left the Saint John yard in 97.
