thank you for that. So it boils down to whether or not it is worth the political risk by Carney of alienating the constituents of his 20 seats in B.C.

Can they get around the BC government?

put yourself in their position. You have x dollars to invest in future development. Would you risk a significant portion of it on trying to ram through a pipeline to the west coast knowing that the GOC has stated emphatically that both the indigenous and the B.C. government have to be on side...

If you can convince people without actually having it you would sure save a pile of money but someone in the know would get bought off so your advantage wouldn't last long. What is needed is to be able to convince people that you will use it. Jimmy Carter would never have done so regardless of...

I think the opposite. He has used the threat to keep all the rest of the world in line. To lapse into my childhood for a moment: "Open this door or I will huff and I will puff and I will blow your house up". Almost the perfect weapon.

It would seem that the U.S. is acting towards its nearest neighbours in the same manner as China has acted in the Philippines. They seem to be establishing the American Empire; not by military invasion but by isolation. Whose next?

Your second paragraph suggested that the navy wasn't specific enough with respect to operational requirements/platform performance. With no disrespect intended, I suggested that the navy wasn't really certain of what they could get/ask for because they have never been in a position to solicit a...

Not being sarcastic at all: does the navy even know? It has never had a modern fleet of submarines to work with and plan around. The Canadian Navy is entering into a whole new world of possibilities. This is good.

The author is ex-liberal with an axe to grind possibly but he is not cpc. although having his comments appear in the Sun one might think otherwise.

I hate to say it but returning the weapons is in keeping with our catch and release justice system.

I can't recall a mass shooting incident involving young people that did not have social media interaction as a root cause. Regardless of the risk of trampling on their "rights" perhaps a ban as Australia has done might be in order. Perhaps a better solution than trying to ban firearms.

don't forget sales to the U.S. With New York state trying to go completely green without sufficient backups there should be lots of scope for sales. It is a long way to the border though unless they put the cables on the lake bottom

In France the word STOP appears on Stop signs. Quebec uses ARRETE. As an english speaking VFR pilot you soon learnt that you were last in priority going into Quebec airports. ATC would ignore you or delay you. It was not a good experience.

Kevin, after the tanker development debacle I admire your faith. Nothing to do with electronic integration is a minor complication. Ask your mechanic about the complexity built into your car. Unless it is pre-wired adding a trailer hitch and harness to your basic Ford can cost you upwards of a...

and you don't suppose the funding provided by various governments for improvements in Quebec didn't help with the purchase of all these off-shore businesses? How are those improvements coming along by the way does anybody know? Will they be contributing to the NSS programme anytime soon...

Just noted that Davies has a contract with the U.S. government to build five ice breakers for the coast guard. Two from Finland and 3 domestically produced with the first delivered in 2028. I wonder if they will cut steel for any of ours in Quebec by then?

no argument except numbers. Will locating a portion of the fleet in Quebec encourage francophone enlistment to the point where it will substitute for the loss of anglophone crew members accepting transfers to La Belle Province? And which ships will it be: AOR's, the JSS as a stand alone, the...

A note of caution to all who think Carney is the cat's pJ's and believe business with China is a wonderful idea. The quote is from Terry Glavin but the information he states comes from outside sources. Forging ahead with Justin Trudeau’s ‘post-national state’ From the National Post today: A...

again, how would you make up the balance of the crew or will you be able to achieve an all-francophone crew from the increase in recruitment? Quebec has made it increasingly difficult for English only family members to attain employment or to send their kids to school

If this was done, would you base all of one east coast type there and if so which one would be best? And, if that were done, we would end up with a french navy in Quebec whilst still requiring a bilingual navy elsewhere. Dangerous ground to walk.
