If you aren't prepared to do that, the preference would be to SHUT UP. The same as I said regarding Trump upstream. If you aren't prepared to support your words of encouragement with action than don't encourage people to fight against their government. You will only get them killed for no...

plus an unfavourable tax regime. Regardless of what you call it, carbon capture is a huge added expense that renders all this discussion for pipelines in Canada mute. Plus there is still a carbon tax.

that and a dollar will buy a coffee at McDonalds. Ottawa can sleep peacefully knowing that they have defended the rights of the Iranian citizens.:coffee:

One other thing: the public system arose out of the church of England schooling. Most community schools were attached to the predominant religion in the community which was generally but not always Anglican. The Methodists were quite predominant as well. Wasn't a problem because most of our...

It is better to have a choice. I have had children and grandchildren enrolled in all 3 systems: catholic, faith-based and public and I can guarantee that the quality of teacher and of product is far better in the first two than in the last. In Trenton, if you want french immersion, it is the...

except to be legal they need to be locked in the safe. Try for a quick draw with that restriction. Steel doors and window bars are a better choice

except for Port Dover on Friday the 13th.:D

maybe yes maybe no. Some of the leadership may be bailing out but the revolutionary guard is still there and they have nowhere to go unless they want to volunteer for service in Ukraine, I guess. Certainly Putin would take them in. But having nowhere to go means they have nothing to lose and...

the story I heard was he used to ride around downtown Montreal on his motorcycle wearing a nazi helmet. How true that was I don't know but it fit with his attitude towards the military

Trudeau senior hated the military and all it stood for. He cut where ever he could, and gathered people around him who thought the same, thus his successors in the liberal party followed suit. It isn't being honest imho to affix the blame to the average Canadian. They were bought off by...

So from the conversation, the simplest way to stop all of this is to park a six pack of F18's on the ramp along with every other NATO member or maybe tie a AOR to the wharf and just leave them to work out of there instead of home base.

According to Fox this morning the Russians have sent out a sub and other unspecified naval assets to escort the tanker into Russian waters so doesn't look like any news at 6 for the Americans on this one

perhaps develop a factory in Canada to turn out tanks and APCs for onward sale. They are a lower volume item and much in demand right now

for the same reason that pilots push limits on approach. More times then I care to remember we would advise the inbound that previous traffic called the braking action very poor or approaching nil yet they would still try it. Gotta get there syndrome has killed a lot of people on our roads and...

We have a lot of ports on both coasts.

been done in Europe. They have developed a system for side-loading trailers using a forklift much as they do cans. That allows freedom to load a train without having to sequence the drive-on. I think the standard trailer is shorter than our 53's but it shouldn't be hard to scale up if the...

I think and I hope that the dark days reflected in your comments will soon be only seen in the rear view mirror although there is nothing wrong with using a chalkboard as a teaching aid: just not by itself. From what I understand the budget for days in the field and days on the ranges and...

of course it is uneconomical and for the reason you stated: it sits in a yard for half a day or longer before eventually making it onto an eastbound train. If I log onto Amazon and order a box of batteries it is delivered the next day. Their computer system simply locates the order in the...

Would be better (maybe) to twin either or both the trans-Canada rail lines and encourage more intermodal traffic. Establish unidirectional traffic cross Canada with a transshipping point every 180 to 240 miles. Transport companies could switch to day runners rather than long haul and would if...

the U.S. isn't going to worry too much about the limited amount of product that we ship off-shore. We will still be negotiating a route for a single pipeline around the Ear-winged-Black-Forest-Swampland-Frog's (love it) breeding ground when the Venezuelan refineries are back up and running at...
