Carney yes...Freeland...no. People can't stand her speaking. Plus she is always bouncing her head around my wife hates it.

Here is nightmare for Russia. Ukraine takes back the Crimea and maybe not even the Donbas, and the Kaliningrad Freedom movement gains power and secedes from the RF. The Kremlin (no matter who's charge) would feel they have to go for broke. Add an Azerbaijan push into Armenia as they see...

Is the job really that great? Or is the dirt that bad? I always thought there should be a stand on your Principles Foundation for Pols.....You lose you job (any party) here is a job and pension. But in the end that would get corrupted too.

The university bubble is about to break. Universities here and elsewhere have been living in an economic, social and political bubble that is not even close to sustainable. In Canada they have been propped up by foreign student money.

In the short term no. But here is the one situation that would chance everything. If by some chance the Free Kaliningrad movement succeeded that would trigger Russia into a response that invading the baltics would almost be forgone conclusion.

Huh? That is totality of the whole thing in a nutshell. Really nothing more.....Trudeau was made to look bad and the bouncy castles was the straw the broke the back. You can argue about this and that police should have done this, or the premier should have done that, or the mayor. In the end...

The last 3 years has shown that the conspiracy theories have just been spoiler alerts. I just think back to high school history and civics (sorry social studies the name change started the fall) class and think we just had a real life test. The grade is F. Horns and bouncy castles = war...

Windsor is too low it should at the level of Rome. Needs to go up a few pixels. :) But fun that is about at Constantinople (Istanbul) Windsor could use some culture and old buildings, plus walls may come in handy in the future.

I don't understand people defending the use of EA. It is the breakglass in case of piece of law. To be used never. only in cases like "Mr Prime Minister the landing boats are about to hit Halifax" or The missiles are in bound. We have lost contact with London. or 11 divisions have crossed...

Before the dark times, before the Trudeaupia, The PM and King's Ministers would have resigned over this and asked the GG for an election. But we have no shame or take responsibility for actions.

Me too. I got it from bankers too. The contingency banking plan would have gotten even the people who didn't support the truckers on the street. Freezing of foreign money transfers, and cash withdrawals. Negative interest rates, transfer caps, stock market trading curbs and halting. IMF...

And was the real reason that the PM and Freeland pulled back. They received a tap on the back from the Canadian Banker Assoc. the banks were seeing largest outflows of money in the history of the country. It was topping at billions an hours at one point. The banks got very very scared. If...

I hope KevinB with back me up here. The thing I dislike about this award is that it is the Euro Daimler Truck. Even with the GD program management and Canadian bolt-on's its a Euro truck with the support supply chain that entails. German support is not looking the best right now. Cough...

Hmmm...The Merc truck purchased though GD. That can't be expensive at all. I guess everyone will just be happy something is moving forward.

China is one of the most disappointing parts on my business and global outlooks in my life. Years ago I jumped on the bandwagon and bought into the idea that you don't go to war with people you trade with and prosperity from some freedom with lead to even more freedom. I have travelled to...

And the other issue that Canada and CAF really don't even have the ability to do much by ourselves at that scale and even less if the situation becomes more kinetic. It's back to calling Washington. Sure we can rent commercial plans and ships at huge expense but after that it's call big...

But it theirs.. lol. I am sure there's deep meaning in it. If I had the magic wand I would up the CAF and Canada's game as one of the first things I would do. The 3rd Infantry Regiment pays for itself in recruitment PR before you even get to any other important points and values.

Couple of points about modern Automotive and manufacturing industries. Those plants you see with Ford, GM, Toyota on them nothing is made in them as in raw material in finished good out. That ended decades ago. Today's plants the closes thing is the body shop that welds sheet metal stamped...

Thread highjack.... It's all Military theater, I personally like it. I have seen the changing of the guard in Athens. More partial to the Commonwealth traditions but I'm old school. I know many here find it a waste of very scare resources. But I would bet more value is created than the...

More like China says sure Russia we will help in the Arctic...couple of years later....News Flash....Historical researchers in Beijing have uncovered old maps and documents clearly showing Siberia to be a part of the greater Middle Kingdom. New Poling of the Chinese population showing a 100%...
