    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    Why not? You could build a large tank farm for storage. Ship during the open water season and low rate stockpile during ice up.

    The problem is many of these people were getting po boxes here and getting AHCIP cards. Then double and evem triple dipping in benifits.

    Alberta government thread

    you would think so, so many were using resources in Alberta then paying taxes elsewhere that the system needed some kind of a fix.

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

    but they should have reached the status of Journeyman/Woman/person. Which is the same ball park of a degree. Thats good money, nothing to laugh at. Hopefully will attract more to the Military.

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

    Wasn't that the evaluation that leaned a little further left towards the F35 then center. Hence why the other consortium withdrew from the competition? The fact that Saab continued with the bid shows a bit of long term thinking and planning on their part to provide an entire package of equipment...

    At least if you go to the front line you have a chance to surrender to Ukraine and get some good eats.

    That funny, manufacturer states they are going to do this by this time line. Realizes they cant even come close so ask the customers for their resources and input to make it work. Some catchy words in there, Tolerances are across the board, some tighter then others. All achievable by trained...

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    Seas Span is a large company that has multiple divisions. Again cheap dollar and limited yard space. Outside of the Canadian Military recently, how many ships (major and small) does Seaspan build in their BC yards? Yes they do lots of maintenance and dry dock work.

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

    I thought we were buying the Aussie Arctic Over-the-Horizon Radar system. This should in itself calm the US and their NORAD complaints. Couple that with the Remaining DEW site radars up north and add a few (lots of these) Interceptor missiles and we have a winner. They buy natural resources...

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    Cheap dollar and limited yard space does that for clients. How many major ships do they work on, how many Military ships outside of Canadian ones. Ask New Zealand how their upgrade went?(yes there was many factors involved, but the yard did not build a strong case for itself).

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

    Yet indications are the F16 will be in service with the US military until at least 2048 and longer if they can push the airframes past the 12000hr mark. We are looking at 20-25years from now. Which means it might not be a bad idea to buy a decent 4.5 gen aircraft.

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

    I don't think we will see many of the 4-4.5 Gens going anywhere soon. The F16, 15 etc will be around for another 15-20 years. I feel Saab has found a potential partner in Canada that has been looking at and wanting the 6th gen and even 7th gen platforms. Canada said a number of years ago the...

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

    The US is getting a bit desperate for support I think. They have failed to overall strongarm Europe into buy America.
