unless these 5 projects are considered to having already passed the expedited time office assessment then, at least for these projects, it has added another layer of bureaucracy. They have been on the old scale for years now, at least many of them have, so he has placed them in a category where...

Talking from a different viewpoint, sorry. I was considering taking common freighters in a wartime scenario and not thinking of the CCG in particular.

not really until you find out what the alternative requirements will be. So far, Carney has done nothing. His big 5 were projects that were already in the works. He just added another layer of complexity as they must now go through the expedited process on top of the reviews they have already...

Think back to the 1940's and the dockside problems with unions in the states. Who will you get to load them, who will you get to sail them, and how will you keep the brotherhood from telling your enemy what is onboard before the ship even drops its pilot?

but is a long way from the European market

I see that a pipeline didn't even make the second list. Would one of you liberal apologists please explain how we are going to become an energy superpower when our resources are landlocked. Although the port of Churchill is listed, there is no indication that the rail line is going to be...

nor can a corvette style ship provide sea control unless the opposition is either the same category at best or willfully permits itself to be controlled. It isn't likely that any nation that will challenge our sovereignty in the north will do so with a corvette. I accept your argument re: ice...

From the Ontario majority string, the proposed road development near Geraldton is in year 6 of discussion. :cautious:

Smith got it right. Until the carbon tax system is eliminated completely there will be no pipeline and without pipelines all that energy might as well stay in the ground. The liberals at least are consistent: they simply fake right first before breaking left.

It is interesting. But if foreign students taking part-time work away from Canadian residents is bad I would say that an offshore individual taking both the part time work and then later the full time career is much, much worse. My personal observation is that the quality is down somewhat but...

yeah I do. Our local clinic has 12 doctors: 7 are off-shore, 3 are old and 2 are mid-40's. As for the fluff courses, many of the sociology programmes go nowhere now. Archaeology is a come-on that eventually employs only a few of the graduates and they have to find a college to sponsor them...

why? Ships don't move very quickly and can be contained using airborne systems. Is the added cost of ice-strengthening really worth the result? We have ships already that can operate in the Arctic and no they are not warships but they are capable of dealing with most potential problems in the...

perhaps starting with eliminating the "basket-weaving" courses with the associated assistant profs and infra-structure would be a start. These courses do very little to facilitate future earning prospects but are primarily a way to put initials behind your name and contribute to the...

that is because they have become a business rather than an institute of learning. Getting in to med school used to require and honours mark i.e. 80% now it is plus 90. Do you want to bet the kid from Saudi that has your daughter's spot got over 90. But he does have 25 thousand or more for...

Totally agree with your first statement provided there is no provision to bring folks in from elsewhere to work i.e. TFW's. But it has to be coupled with no welfare unless you work provision. Did you know that there are no soft fruit canneries left in eastern Canada that I know of? Employees...

do you really believe that, in Africa, they pay any attention to our initiatives. Perhaps sending a dozen well drilling rigs and people to run them would have a greater effect and benefit those ladies a whole lot more. Having been in several of those countries and watched as they walked miles...

6 to 12 crew. Doesn't appear to me (a landlubber) to provide much flexibility to even visit the head and meals would be strictly MRE. Why not just build an armed tug as the mother ship and tow 3 or 4 LSTs. The crews of the LSTs could stay on board the mother ship until it was time to deploy...

True, they are not. But prioritizing appearance and public acceptance over job performance and professionalism borders on the criminal. All of the social engineering issues that I have noticed being implemented have been public relations exercises; they haven't benefited the armed forces and...

so call the provinces out on it instead of wasting time with unnecessary debate, if indeed the laws are in place to keep the bad guys in jail prior to trial.,
