Thank-you for the correction! All these years- I read Calgary and infantryman in the news at the time and just assume Patricia.

To be completely accurate, armoured car robbery…

More than likely the other way around, given how old Joe is.

Also know as the “Buffalo Joe” trick. Showing up at air tanker bid evaluation day (where bidders were supposed to bring a working air tanker to the ramp and their detailed cost estimates) with a picture of an airplane that you did not even own yet and your numbers scribbled on the back of an...

I have to say, I am very impressed with the quality of the posts in this thread. Very valid points have been made in a very adult manner. I am learning lots!

There are various air services models- each tailored for the jurisdiction. The BC model of contracting air services seems to work for them, but other provinces make the Crown owned air service work, too. There is no one right model.

But you and I both know from hard experience, that is not how it would play out in reality.

I am not in favour of the Federal Government blundering into another area of provincial responsibility. It would be a certainty that if the feds created a national wildfire force, it would be more than offset by each province cutting their forces, each thinking they could cheat and just call in...

Where was the alligator?

He taught me to fall out of airplanes…very diplomatically and tactfully…

I would bet, dollars to donuts, that the vast majority of the “disturbing comments” are from bot farms in Iran or Russia, looking at amping the incident. We have seen this in the past in the west.

Hey, the Patricias are happy it ain’t them, after a bad run in the 1990s. Bank robbers, etc….

That goes to show just how valuable the VCR process is. In addition to getting your personnel clear to access a facility, you will know well ahead of time whether they will be admissible to the US. CBP doesn’t care about the VCR itself, however. They have their own admissibility criteria. PM...

If Trump finds a “path to peace” that dismembers Ukraine and rewards Putin and his cronies, I can about guarantee that the overall impact to international stability will not be positive.

I gotta say- Roshel has come along way in the past few years and is beginning to make a pretty big splash on the Canadian Defence scene. Having a domestic producer of ballistic steel again will be huge for us.

The result is about what I expected and the margin of victory is close to where I thought it would be. I also don’t know what (credible) media thought he was going to lose.
