Emergency was probably the wrong word. But a very good strong reason to do so would be better termed. Again this would only open up the discussion over Regular Force Staffing levels if they had to Activate a Reserve Unit(s) to full fill a UN mission. Again they would have to require a reason to...

I am not understanding how 31(1) would apply to the Reserves? Unless it was an Emergency. Which case I would assume the EA would be enacted and then they have all kinds of irregular powers. Unless a member was already attached to a Regular Force Unit on Class C at the time. The word "MAY" is a...

I 100% agree Countries stock pile product on both shipping and receiving end. As long as one can store then ship product in mass during the short season the Port of Churchill can and would work. The money investment has not been there due to the price of what they are shipping. If your adding...

The Feds need to get behind De Havilland Canada ASAP to become the worlds leader in firefighting aircraft along with the future of Military and heavy industry transport. Commit a few bucks to secure future Transport aviation in Canada.

I am in the wrong business with rates like what you guys are all saying. Time to look at different business lines.

Davie is buying market share to compete in the larger world market. Great strategy on their part. Hope they can pull it off.

I meant to say reduced manufacturing

But the US took manufacturing away from the Canadian plant years ago.

GDLSC needs to either market their platform overseas and get more orders. They need to redesign/design a platform with tracks, artillery turrets and maybe a 50 ton tank.

That road was a mess, last time I was up there in 2013 it wasn't much better. Having to preposition equipment and fly crews in and out made things interesting. The scope of the drilling project up there was enormous. Made the BC government alot of money off the process. If they play their...

They would store it in Storage tanks/ underground Caverns as required. build that stock up then ship non stop over the Ice free/ navigable waters. It is already done elsewhere with lots of success.

This would be for the European Market as primary. The Asian market could be added. Depending on who's paying. CFB Cold Lake was isolated not that many years ago with a seasonal road. Tuktoyaktuk is futher north and equal issues with building a road and they did it. The only reason the road has...

It would need to kept to temp to keep it flowing. Which is difficult. They often dilute it with Condensate to help its flow characteristics. The condi is as valuable or more depending. Or they use steam to heat the rail cars at destination to flow the Bitumen to the tankers and or storage...

Wrong.... pipelines ship unrefined, upgraded and refined products all the time. According to who? . Tankers are not economical to ship product. But in many cases they are the only way to ship that product Yet they ship NGL products via trains all the time east. Eastern refineries killed...

Possible but why would oil be shipped to the East Coast, juts keep it moving to Europe. Are you asking if they ship it to Churchill via pipelines, then load it on tankers to James Bay, then pipeline it to Refineries on the East Coast? I would build a Refinery in Churchill, ship the oil there...

I think we should be looking at the South African 105mm systems in my opinion for replacement of our 105 systems not 120mm mortar. We could order 300 of these gun systems. 200 Towed and 100 turreted. Mount the turrets on a LAV chassis. Integrate them into the LAV battalions. It is a...

What percentage of fires are caused by ATV's and or their operators? Break that down even more into how many because of lack of spark arrestors? I am curious what the data shows here in Canada.

What makes one IFV /APC more survivable then another? Base armor structure is similar or the same across the board. Aluminum/composite for the main structure. Some are made with a steel base. Next we have various armor plates of steel and or composites added. Some spaced some not to increase its...

Keep calling. What BC company was that? Actually curious I cant find the contract for that one. LOL, like Almiq Contracting/ Laval Fortin Group, SM Construction Group, Stantech. Are those the companies your talking about? but true. Thats what makes it so tiresome. The original plan and...

Companies figure out a way to make money and be profitable. The government finds a way to pay a company (s) in Central Canada to pretend to do work and make research projects to line their pockets. Then deliver a inferior product with little to any consequences. :rolleyes:
