    Freedom Convoy protests [Split from All things 2019-nCoV]

    Yes….that is what the crown is asking for….meanwhile the two parents of an infant that died from boiling water poured into his diaper were sentenced to 6 years less time served….our country is screwed.

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

    I asked my buddy in Indiana…a brand new cutting head costs US$100K+ but a good used one is about $45K. He has one each for soyabean and corn….he can switch them out in 2-3 minutes.

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    You’re offended, ok, be offended…doesn’t change the fact that nowhere did I advocate for increased gunlaws in the US. As for it being a crazy free-for-all down there….. In the US how many firefighters were just shot? How many school shootings have there been since January 1st, how many mass...

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    Nowhere in my comments did I advocate for more or stronger gunlaws in the US. In fact I thought I made it clear that I feel that Canadian gunlaws are overly restrictive and onerous…especially where long guns are concerned.

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    while there is something to be said for the fact of them being larger being a part of the problem….culture and the easy access to guns, especially handguns but also long guns as well as the myriad of various open, concealed carry laws all contribute to the problems of mass and school shootings...

    The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

    While I think our whole acquisition and licensing regime in Canada, especially for long-guns is overly and unnecessarily strict, restrictive and overblown I certainly don’t advocate for or want the crazy free-for-all that is the US.

    Replacing the Subs

    While I believe nuclear powered subs are ideal for Canada, especially as far as the Arctic is concerned I just don’t see it happening….especially due to cost, the various treaties and agreements notwithstanding. On top of all that the US certainly doesn’t want us having the potential ability to...

    Replacing the Subs

    The treaties I referenced aren’t that easy to find…requires some searching and reading…especially the 1959 one.

    Replacing the Subs

    Use the 1958 and 1959 dates and various search parameters and you can find other references on both treaties. Basically, without US agreement we aren’t getting nuke powered boats…..unless we want to try and get them from the Russians or China.

    Replacing the Subs

    No, there is another treaty that impacts the French nukes too. Plus a treaty directly between Canada and the US that denies us nukes.

    Replacing the Subs

    Unfortunately the only way we get SSNs if the US agrees to waive existing treaties that give the US a veto over Canada getting the required nuclear technology for subs. Reagan was sort of willing but at the end of the day Canada having SSNs is viewed negativly vis-a-vis the arctic and NW passage...

    Replacing the Subs

    I doubt the US would ever agree to that.

    Replacing the Subs

    There was an interesting article some months ago explaining some of the advantages of the new Spanish sub over the German subs…..my memory is a bit foggy but alot of them seemed to be about better power generation and crew environmental redundancy as well as longer cruise ability. I’ll have to...

    The low productivity of Canadian companies threatens our living standards

    It always comes back to the same things……over-regulation, excessive levels of red-tape and badly designed, overly-complex government to client U/I …….all of which negatively impacts business,finances and creativity.

    Wow…that surprises me..😂😂

    Chinese Military,Political and Social Superthread

    It’s quite disappointing to me how many westerners, ie: Americans,Canadians and Europeans actually love this level of technology. Here’s another one….in China, in the major urban centres at least, you can physically pay for products in shops using just a scan of your palm-print if you happen to...

    The Arctic

    The point is to encourage private investment to build out high quality infrastructure for their benefit…Canada ends up with the transport and built out urban area. The tax income comes later.

    The Arctic

    How about a complete tax-holiday from all provincial and federal income taxes for all companies and workers, including subs, during construction phase of all roads railways and port infrastructure as well as during the first 10 years of actual operation of the completed facilities.

    Thank you…that is the sort of answer and clarification I was looking for.
