So if I understand Lumber and dimsum correctly anyone who doesn't have a university degree is an uneducated rube that won't vote properly( at least according to them) and is very easily led. As someone who doesn't have a degree but has a Red Seal trade ticket and generally gets paid enough in...

Shell is getting out of hydrogen in a big way. I don't blame them, the stuff sucks when you have to work with it. Our H2 piping at work is all welded construction because the H2 will inevitably find its way out of gasketed flanges. Packing leaks on valve stems are normal no matter what you do...

I would think even a coffee maker would be treated with suspicion at this point.

That's a nice glass but it needs some whiskey or Navy rum. :)

Considering that AB & SK have set up a licensing system for anyone planning to 'buy back' firearms I find it unlikely that there would be anyone licensed in those provinces by the next election. They have no reason to cooperate with the federal government.

Don't forget the cost of the backup generators and their maintenance. When the City of Edmonton built the new north side bus barn to house their fleet of now mostly inoperative electric buses one of first things they installed was 2 massive diesel generators out front. Hard to charge your fleet...

Not exactly correct. Trucking companies pay 10s of thousands of dollars per vehicle in road taxes and vehicle licensing fees. What may not be commonly known is that every month the mileage in each jurisdiction a commercial vehicle drives is totaled up and the road taxes have to be corrected for...

Let's hope it continues.

So many people think that TFW are the greatest thing that ever happened to business but in my experience they are far from it. Back circa 2010 2 of my friends had businesses that had TFW and in both cases after a year or so they both sent them all home because they were far more trouble than...

Yes as well as Holland & Holland double rifles where each round of ammo is worth more than what the store has in the register.

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing, Any landing where you can reuse the plane is a great landing. I would say this falls between those 2 metrics. :)

That was my thoughts too.

I would say this is very accurate. My wife and I have been going to Jasper every summer for the last 10 years and anyone that was paying attention could see there was a problem. The forests were full of dead trees and the problem just kept getting worse until we ended up with this disaster...

My wife and I were staying in one of the log cabins at Miette hotsprings last week until we were told to leave because of the Utopia Pass fire. QV is correct about the dead trees. I was looking at the mountainsides surrounding the hot springs and to my eye there were at least 2 dead trees for...

Classy lady
