Possible Or he could be the first to be turfed

lol - the Big Short

It reminds me very much of the situation explained in the movie ‘The Bug Short’ about the bubble in the US mortgage market and how those in ‘the know’ kept wondering month after month why the bubble was not bursting….until one day it did. I have a sense of déjà vu all over again. The music will...

But the Poles have bitch slapped the last ones who did.

The Austrians are looking at Hungary and Slovakia as being possible avenues from a fallen Ukraine (if that was to occur) directly to the borders of Austria and possibly into/through Austria to Italy/Germany.

Thinking back we did have to call a number when we ‘landed’ at the US marina or restaurant that we’d be going to and tell them. I had forgotten about that part as I never did the calling, my friend who owned the boat would do it. I was well before cell phones so he’d have to ask the restaurant...

Back when I lived in Windsor, we used to get an ‘I68’ form from US customs, like in the early to mid 90s, and that form would allow us as a CDN boater to go into US waters and in to a US marina or restaurant for dinner with no issues whatsoever. If US Border Patrol (which never happen in the...

Not really, it is weather dependent. The St. Lawrence Seaway is scheduled to close for the 2024 navigation season on January 5, 2024, for the Montreal-Lake Ontario section and January 10, 2024, for the Welland Canal section. This allows time for maintenance and to account for any disruptions...

Price in Europe has been even higher. And with the EU stating that they are committing themselves to be off Russian Nat Gas, that market is ours to lose.....

The largest ships able to transit the St. Lawrence Seaway are Seawaymax vessels. These ships have a maximum length of 225.5 meters (740 feet), a beam (width) of 23.8 meters (78 feet), and a draft (depth below the waterline) of 8.08 meters (26.5 feet). Here's a breakdown of common tanker sizes...

No, lol. But I live close to this facility - 43°22'23.8"N 79°42'54.1"W That refinery facility used to be owned by PetroCan. As you can see, large tanker farm and it’s surrounded by homes and industrial buildings. It only closed in 2005...

What might happen to Babcock's facilities on the WC and their current maintenance of the Vic's? I've read that they've teamed up the SK's for the Polish bid but I've not read anything about them teaming up here in Canada, though I could have missed it.

The port of Montreal is open 12 months of the year. So we'd be talking about ice breaking from that area up until the Port of Montreal where icebreaking must already be occuring. As for Quebec, what of it? No facilities would be built in the province. Only ships would be sailing down the St...

I think Enbridge would be more than willing to build the new pipeline across Ontario and into Sarnia via an all Canada route and no longer have to deal with Michigan on the Straits of Mackinac. I wonder how feasible it would be to run a new line to this area: 45°09'48.0"N 74°27'07.9"W And...

Safety for the crew should always come paramount in my humble non-military mind, especially in the times that we are not at war.

I'm in. Appreciate all that you do here! Same with all the other Mods. Thanks for the hard work and dedication.

When something like that occurs, the "significant deficiencies from an inspection found with various systems", that doesn't sound like 1 issue found with 1 ship and another issue found on another ship, it sounds like there was issues found across multiple ships occurring across the same...

Macron has come out and said France will recognize a Palestinian state by the fall. Wouldn’t be surprised if us, the Brits, Australians, Holland all follow suite.

True, I shouldn’t have said that, it really is a small, select bunch that is really driving the bus on this issue.
