perhaps because it makes them the aggressor at a time when they dare not upset any more applecarts then they absolutely have too. Russia would have a public relations field day on that and who knows how Trump would respond.

An observation: air lines in Canada have a preponderance of short haul aircraft. Should this change in destinations persist it could totally screw up their fleet management plans. A320s and B737 aren't the aircraft of choice for long haul and their interior configurations are definitely not...

sounds great, free geritol for life and batteries for my scooter as well. Is there room in a tank for me to store my cane? Sarcasm aside, war is a young person's game, us old folks just can't duck in time or move fast enough to get out of the way. But I understand where you are coming from...

I would say they have learnt a lot. They are focused on law and order with both private members' bills and PP urging the government to both institute a 3 strikes and you are locked up policy for repeat offenders and to tackle the catch and release issue. These are major concerns for everyone...

there are at least 90 phantom tankers to go after

wow! Someone at some time has really done you some damage.

there is no re-building in isolation. Canada needs partners. Partners in trade, partners in ideas, partners in belief. with the U.S. proving itself to be less than reliable, Canada needs to expand into other areas with countries that share our goals and to a great extent our history as well...

Carney probably wouldn't say no to an election now either. An early election precipitated by the conservatives would probably guarantee them a majority

I read a few weeks back that they are partnering with another yard in Korea so they would effectively have two lines going. As well, the above article seems to intimate that construction for the Polish version would be shared between the two countries. There is no indication though as to how...

according to the delivery figures going SK even with Poland alongside would still give you 4 boats by 2036 instead of Germany's one boat maybe

The FN has come out with a little bit of blackmail. They stated today that if they don't receive an increase in payments or at the very least maintain the status quo they will refuse cooperation on the major projects front. They are worried that they will be included in the budget cuts

why should it when they have done nothing in Ukraine where arguably as many or more have been affected, murdered, tortured and evicted?

it is a fine balance for the opposition though. Carney is doing a wonderful job of taking the conservative viewpoints and r-clothing them as liberal initiatives and when an election comes, especially with the current press, they will itemize all the conservative things they have done as their...

The devil is in the details. By any one's math the 4000 homes are, at a guess, 25% of the 13B, indicating that there are one hell of a lot of associated costs. we have 8 billion that isn't accounted for except through implication. Since every penny has to be borrowed, I for one would like to...

True but the statement is a 13Billion initial investment to construct 4000 homes. Whilst there may be others down the line and there should be he is initiating another bottomless undertaking. Sure they are talking of homeless shelters and all the other needed social necessities but they don't...

at 3,250,000 per unit that must be some house considering they aren't paying for the land. Even 325000 would be high without land value. But assuming that the lower figure is the cost per building that is some bureaucratic boondoggle. It is either that or my calculator is way off.

an attempt at sarcasm that failed but seriously, do you really think that this government could undertake any major development project without the aforementioned cost overruns and delays and without building trying to make it environmentally friendly at the same time as in the electric...

would cost twice as much, take twice as long and last half its life expectancy. All equipment would have to be battery operated which would require massive power infrastructure the entire length of the pipeline to be completed before starting installation of the pipe. That power would come...

oh ye of little faith. They WILL make it.

we weren't allowed calculators at all in science. Trig tables and slide rules were the only aids.
