But by setting it apart he provides an excuse for the government to do nothing about it now. So we will have another summer of vandalized synagogues and burnt catholic churches while they study it.

it isn't only the land value. Local governments consider new construction as a cash cow. Development fees from what I have read are in the hundreds of thousands of dollars in most of the major cities. It appears to be convenient to blame the developer but those houses that are mostly torn...

one item: it is 60% of people 18 to 29 and not of all Canadians. And I would expect no less. These are the young adults who were brought up with Greta and heard that "the sky is falling" for their entire lives. they have never been taught the principles of scientific research but are...

what does that mean for the support with the Australian purchase?

and it makes it much easier to land on a grid road. No pesky wires to interfere. Love flying out there. Both SK and AB have miles and miles of beautifully maintained runways leading to the cousins/friends.:D

first delivery 2050 after England, Australia, and U.S. as opposed to an 85% solution delivered in just a couple of years with complete delivery by 2035

not trying for blame. We are entrenched in the idea that somehow, because we reach consensus, we come up with a good solution. I spent 10 years working with a consensus organization (Eurocontrol) and I guarantee that it is the best way to ensure that nothing of consequence will ever be...

Really? my experience (32 years) is that bureaucrats and senior management are in a permanent CYA mode. Decisions are entirely based upon how it will look and not what is best.

thank you

I don't think Aluminum is all that great for long distance lines. If it gets bent back and forth it tends to fracture, overheat and cause fires. I suspect that the winds that are required to power windmills would be more than sufficient to provide sufficient movement in the lines. You could...

Do you really think that any of those sites could be re-opened any time soon. At the very least there would be months of tunneling and tons of concrete to pour before they even reached the working chambers and that would all be under the watchful eye of Mosad. No, my bet is they have another...

won't happen. Quebec would not vote for having their parliamentary power diluted in any way. Has anyone explained where all the copper to build these power lines to replace oil/gas is going to come from? Last I heard it was up over 10000 a tonne and getting increasingly hard to find as the...

One of the groups being consulted has a total population of less than 3000 yet they are the make or break barrier to much of the territory mining development and transportation network. I don't recall the same consideration being given to the people of Pickering or around Mirabel and there are...

it isn't cheap labour anymore. Minimum wage laws apply to the immigrants as well. Your statement shows how far we have fallen: it is no longer a kid working towards his education but someone breaking the law and soliciting cash under the table. SAD. You are correct. Clerks can still work...

what isn't happening is parents encouraging kids to get out with a lawn mower and look for work as mentioned a bunch of entries ago. Costs 50 or 60 bucks to have your lawn cut yet pickups with tractors and trailers are all over the neighbourhood. The average lawn takes less than an hour to cut...

Your son wanting to work and willing to get his hands dirty would make him an exception. Employers don't even consider students anymore, not because they would rather hire off-shore but because they can't even get applications let alone students who will actually put in a days work. Neighbour...

Certainly if they were on mobile launchers the drivers have got the peddle to the metal and the rear view mirrors looking skyward for little black dots

any road to the north will cost a bundle and require major environmental work-arounds. But with the coast guard under military guidance the purchase and construction of the heavy ice breakers could possibly be written off on that budget. Fun with numbers and all that.

too true. The west's record of facilitating regime change from dictator to democracy isn't really very good. i.e. Libya, Afghanistan

So I guess that provides the final answer to the questions surrounding the "peaceful" nature of Iran's nuclear programme and also suggests that Russia has been aiding and abetting all along
