    Political impacts of Ukraine war

    I don't think so, according to the article the SK's have to pay a 'fee' to Westinghouse for using their technology in SK nuclear reactors, coupled with the 'requirement' for the US Gov't to sign off on the SK sale to foreign countries for using this technology and then finally that extra 'fee'...

    Political impacts of Ukraine war

    As part of Carney's trip to Ukraine/Poland/Germany/Latvia: Though not specifically called out as part of Carney's talks with Poland today, other than to say 'expand trade with Poland', I did find this 4 days old article out of Poland and nuclear energy and the mention of Canada interesting...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    WOW - talk about the Motherlode! I'm wondering if they'll have to go through any Indigenous consultations and such before they can develop this. Geologists reveal the world’s largest iron deposit: worth $6 trillion and set to impact the global economy. Geologists reveal the world's largest...

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    The removal of ‘de mininus’ in the US will crush tens of thousands of small businesses in the US. The USPS will lose even more money going forward. By the time ‘Black Friday’ comes along it will be a very different US.

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    The same thought process goes into those usual NDP voters who voted for PP in the last election and very well may switch back over to the NDP if their next leader is charismatic and says the right things.

    Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs)

    I hope Nanisivik gets scrapped and we build 2 facilities, west and east sides of the Arctic, in existing habitable settlements where the crews can go ashore for a few days of R&R before continuing on with their missions. A place where fresh produce and such can be air transported out to for the...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    lol, I question the ‘knowledge’ of all these ‘experts’. The Toronto Stock Exchange is outperforming ALL of the major US indexes - NYSE, NASDAQ and S&P 500. So they have ALL lost significant money by not keeping their investments in Canada or not moving their money into Canada.

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Majority of voters in Ontario still don’t like/want PP according to a poll that I saw yesterday. Until that changes its status quo. Also with only 68% of Conservatives currently approving of PP as leader that’s not a ringing endorsement for his future. Lastly, as long as Ford continues to...

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    No matter where we look for ‘replacing ‘ the US, no one or no combination of places, will be able to replace all of our trade with the US. Reduce as much as we can, but understand and accept that it will never go below 50-60 of all our trade - geography dictates this.

    An expanded role and capability at Churchill will only add to everything you say. It could be used as a staging area for crew rotations as well with its train and airfield capabilities.

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    10%, you're being optimistic. Only UK and Oz have gotten 10%, it could be 15% across the board, with oil/gas maybe, maybe at 0% or 10%. Putting oil/gas at 0% will stoke, for certain, Alberta (maybe Sask) vs Ontario and the rest of Canada tension, which will in turn create fodder for Trump to use.

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    Trump could easily say, 'You know what, we are going to only have USMA going forward, we don't want to deal with those nasty Canadians anymore', and where would that leave us?

    Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs)

    I'm sure that someone has a project plan laid out with the various dates (both 'known' and potential) on it when the 1st CSC needs to be crewed, when the 1st new sub needs to be crewed, the first 1st JSS, the 1st potential new Corvette, etc, etc and against that chart should be current vs future...

    The acronym should be flipped around to be OAPV's because to your points above, that is really the reality of their current life cycle.

    Maritime Coastal Defence Vessels (MCDVs)

    Question. With the 8 Kingston's now struck from active service. How much of a say do the crews have in being posted to a AOPS vs a Halifax vs a Vic or the new JSS that will be coming online in the future?
