    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    Would lend a new meaning to 'serving in her' vs 'serving on her'.

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    The batteries are recyclable, but it seems industry has caught up yet, probably because so few batteries are reaching EOL to make it a viable business. https://chargelab.co/blog/ev-battery-recycling IF EVs continue to become a sustainable business model, one can hope that the battery packs...

    Freeman on the Land?

    Saw this on Reddit as well. Buddhist extremism?

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    It seems the line between PMO and PCO can be 'fluid'. I recall Clerk Michael Wernick coming off as more PMO-ish than PCO-ish during the SNC Lavelin/Wilson-Raybold affair.

    Religion in Schools (split fm Islamic Terrorism)

    I'm not convinced that is universally true. A lot of boards are a hotbed of social justice activism (and in some cases I'm being kind), often with some bird liberal arts degrees. They drive the idealistic, eutopian, mollycoddling approach and fail to support teachers when they try to actually...

    Religious/Extremist Terrorism: Non-Muslim edition

    Perhaps a FN defamatory law suit in the offing for cultural appropriation?

    In naval service, the Trump-class frigate?

    Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

    Given a 1990 conviction and the fact that homicide investigations are typically lead by detectives with some seniority, I suspect the only sanction would be criminal (or civil by Rees himself). Intent might be tough to prove.

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    Ontario mostly consists of comparatively small dairy farms as opposed to massive 'factory' farms. Way back in the day when I was with our police service's planning unit, I was sent to a meeting on 'geo-mapping' (for some reason - I had no clue of the topic). This was long before public GPS nd...

    US SecWar: “Our chaplains are chaplains, not emotional support officers”

    Rabbis and Imams will no doubt be sidelined or told 'thanks for coming'.

    14 Dec 2025: Bondi Beach Australia Hanukkah Attack

    There's always the 'not here' or 'we're different' angle.

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    Assuming that most houses probably have some form of forced air heating, how do you suppose those "existing communities" be re-plumbed to take advantage of some manner of centralized district heating? Who should pay for it? Or are you suggesting that the heat from the data centres be somehow...

    14 Dec 2025: Bondi Beach Australia Hanukkah Attack

    Which, if recall correctly, was the whole point of developing Initial Rapid Deployment (or its various names). People were dying under a widely-held policy of 'hold, secure and wait for the cavalry' in active shooter situations.

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    I'm not so convinced. There is a lot of money in the shadows backing MAGA/Project 2025 movement. There may be a gap of a term only because openly courting and developing a protege in the face of Trump's ego and paranoia likely wouldn't go over well. Maybe to loss of Charlie Kirk was a setback.

    14 Dec 2025: Bondi Beach Australia Hanukkah Attack

    There are still people who can't reconcile that women aren't solely in the kitchen anymore. Interesting. I would suspect that the data might be different in urban vs rural environments. A large municipal department/detachment would be able to have at least elements of their...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    Interesting. I was thinking more along the lines of the infrastructure. Trying to modify a plant that produces a lot of relatively light things into one that produces really heavy things. Flooring loading for cranes, final product, etc. Re-tooling essentially means making a different version...

    14 Dec 2025: Bondi Beach Australia Hanukkah Attack

    Ya, I worked with a guy like. Every traffic stop of a little old lady with a burned out headlight turned into a high risk takedown. It was very tiresome. He went his entire career without having shot anyone and I am sure he left disappointed.

    I saw an ad on CTV this morning advertising the Hanwha KSS submarine for Canada.

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Unless it's a one-off, that type of employment in that type of industry generally means moving a lot. One of our former neighbours was the daughter of a mining engineer and grew up for a few years each in place from coast-to-coast. Depending on the job, the trick is to get out before the...

    14 Dec 2025: Bondi Beach Australia Hanukkah Attack

    It's pretty hard to be a "warrior" when most cops would only be called upon to be 'warrior-y' only a handful of times in their career, at best. It would be akin to train one week a year at [fill in military trade here] then go do something completely different and expecting that training to...
