    The first cell networks in North America didn’t start appearing until late 80’ s . I remember being in SAN Francisco with my brother-in-law (Nortel Engineer) and he practically had a hardon when he spotted a cell tower (Nortel made cell tower gear) there. He had to explain to me that it wasn’t...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    What happens in the White House is extremely important to Canadians because it has a major impact on our jobs, economy and well being. Trump has openly stated he wants to destroy our economy to force us to become 51st state. Any PM (or wannabe) that doesn’t acknowledge and act on it is a fool.

    You’re not giving seniors enough credit. Look if my 90 year old father managed with a stroke, tapping away with one finger on the pop up keyboard then I think most seniors can get by just fine. Most tablets are available with add on keyboards. Modern tablets and phones have voice and facial...

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    As you said, ICBM’s are hypersonic in the Mach 20 to 24 region plus the speed of an interceptor ; it’s difficult to comprehend that in the blink of eye the missile has travelled from one side of lovely Scarborough to the other side. Now Trump wants his “Golden” dome because gold is so much nicer...

    They need family members to step up, tell them the modern world no longer needs the poste and help them setup direct deposit. They also need to get a tablet computer so they check their bank account and the flyers (which are mostly online); make sure grandpa is blocked from porn sites. Otherwise...

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    The subs are going to require as much water under the keel as River class. More than 25 feet. I see a few problems here. I doubt Y has the electric or plumbing services to accommodate larger vessels, you’re now picking a ship to fit the space, there is little space on the jetty to place...

    Canada Post needs to slash management as well. Found this on Reddit from a year ago, not sure how accurate it is. I question why so many managers, directors, and why does the CEO of an insolvent business make $450k.

    We did have Saturday delivery; when it was taken away there were complaints but we quickly accepted it. Letter delivery took hits in 2 forms: 1st self inflicted with constant strikes (or threats of) and drop in prompt service 2nd and great consequence ; the invention of email, then smart phones...

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    Still i don’t understand why we didn’t go with C27J that shared some elements (props,engines, glass cockpit) with our C130J’s and has greater speed, range over Kingfisher. Was it cost or PWC engines?

    The question I have is; are the new tugs suitable for handling submarines given the different hull profiles?

    6 AOPS . Up to 12 subs. I would even say the announcement of 15 River class is subject to change.

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    Am I correct in understanding that A Jetty design is being reviewed by the navy for lessons learned from B and also original spec was based upon 2 Halifax class @ 134m vs 2 River class @151m ?

    The Georgian Bay looks sharp with the small windshield. Too bad about the ladies deciding on a boat for you. But honestly the pontoon boat is probably the safer bet for your mother.

    That certainly looks interesting. I’m debating whether to build one or buy. I just need an excuse to go for drive to Powassan.
