true, but they no longer have a voice so they are becoming increasingly irrelevant. If they abstain they are simply continuing their history as closet liberals. If they vote no they are committing suicide and if they vote yet and it is not a good budget from an NDP perspective they are...

I can see sea-lift as being of benefit but only if the channels can be kept clear for ice capable hulls for most of the year, perhaps combined with short haul rail links along the south Arctic shore to lessen the number of ports required. Only guessing.

you need the oil, gas, rare earth minerals to pay for all the rest. Be careful that you don't kill the goose

no one goes to a federal prison unless they have been convicted and sentenced so all those folks out on bail need to be housed in a provincial facility so the money is needed there and not federally. It isn't Carney and co. job to build the jails, it is their job to mandate the judges through...

so Saab can buy Bombardier to obtain a reliable off-shore production facility. Gives them other products to work with as well.

Greece maintains a fleet of ferries as does B.C. for general travel. Air links are for those with money and for emergency services; not for transporting potatoes

true, but roads/rail gives those at the end of the line the wherewithal to access the market in the rest of Canada with the goods they produce. Shipping minerals by air isn't practical and, pardon the cliché but air freight on a pair of sealskin moccasins puts at least 20 dollars on the base...

bad idea. Can't have a mixed fleet. Pilots get confused when they see more than one type (see CF188 replacement thread)

helps to have an in with the editors

England is as are other NATO countries. I will buy the arguments for having a less maintenance intense aircraft available for things like providing aircover over Iceland or intercepting incoming in the Arctic. It makes sense but my greater concern is the numbers. 88 is simply not enough...

how about Edmonton Namao lots of room there oh sorry I forgot we don't need a logistics base in Alberta

many/most cannot be realistically classified as nations: they were extended family groups and independent separate villages

choose your favourite metaphor: close the barn door after the horse has escaped, the camel is in the tent. all apply and with the mindset of our current court system we are truly f***ed

As long as the CAF isn't ordering them why do you care? If SAAB wants to build an assembly line an ocean away from their parts plants we could certainly use the high tech jobs or am I missing something here?

you are grasping at straws. Belgium backed down on the ratification vote. The deal was actually signed by the harper clan. All she did was have a hissy fit and walk out of the meeting, As for free trade, Free trade with Japan is very similar to free trade with China in that it puts our...

Why the discussion? With Korea you have an active fleet in 10 years and complete delivery in 15. That is a full 20 years before the German offer can make a meaningful contribution to defense. I mean 1 boat for 3 coasts for 5 years before the second appears.

CETA was finalized in 2014. Trudeau signed the documents for Canada in Nov. 2016, right so no heavy lifting unless a BIC is considered heavy. TPP fell apart when the U.S. under Trump withdrew from the agreement. Its successor, CPTPP followed much of the same format but eliminated a lot of the...

The TPP fell apart, its successor harmed a lot of small businesses that mfg auto parts. CETA, if my memory serves, was initiated and approved by Stephen Harper long before Justin came on the scene. But I will give you CUSMA so 1 out of 3 isn't bad. But the comment made wasn't about deal...

Ukraine could help. If they fly another drone into the gate, the water wil go down all by itself and they won't need the cofferdam

there, I fixed that for you
