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

    save money and buy the single otter. No doubt DE Havilland still has the blueprints and they have upgraded them in the past with a PT6. The reserves in Downsview used to operate a squadron of them. They would show up at many of the civilian fly-ins and could often be found anchored in a...

    then throw in the neighbourhood incinerator for additional heat. There are any number of industries that could easily be net contributors to an urban heat system: just takes imagination.

    Canadian River Class Destroyer Megathread

    All very well and good but, considering Ukrainian developments where is the space and power for the kinetic weapons? By the time the first river class is commissioned lasers should be coming into their own for close in defense.

    the 20% was just an example by the way. As for the provinces, if their taxes are based on the federal then their take should be a portion of the 20%.

    simply put: everyone pays 20% (as a for instance) of their household gross salary. There are no deductions and no credits except for the number of family members . Lets assume you need 20,000 after taxes as a single person to get by reasonably well; no excessive toys but you are able the rent...

    I will vote for a flat percentage tax starting at a pre-defined value and no subsidies for sure. Would eliminate thousands of accountancy positions, thousands of civil servants and innumerous complaint processes with the CRA>

    Replacing the Subs

    Why would they limit themselves to renovating an existing site? There are any number of harbours (Argentia for one) that would offer the acreage needed to construct the necessary infrastructure in support of a sub. base. To my mind it would actually make sense to co-locate it with a naval yard...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    The ramp in Saudi sort of reminded me of photos I have seen of Hickam in December 1941. Same open parking concept.

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    so how does the rest of the world clear the strait without supporting the U.S. actions? And it is becoming increasingly clear that other nations are going to have to do something as their economies can't survive without fuel.

    so is he a Chinese pawn, and if so, were they instrumental in encouraging his crossing the floor to give them another voice in government? In any case it would appear that the conservatives are well rid of him

    This started with a statement that importation fees were a major cause of food price inflation. Those crops are already harvested by off-shore part-timers. The point is there are food stuffs that don't require importing and lots of land to grow them on. We need the facilities to handle them...

    Two pilots flying Air Canada jet killed in crash at LaGuardia Airport - 22 Mar 2026

    They actually try not to brake hard as it costs a lot of money to replace brakes and tires. Unless ATC requests an expeditious exit they will generally let it roll. The same in reverse on departure. They calculate the thrust required to depart on a balanced field length. No max. thrust...

    you don't know much about agriculture do you? Our growing season in Niagara is plenty long enough for peaches. There was a very successful Canary in St. David's up until the owners decided that peaches canned in China were a better deal. Your price in the grocery didn't go down by the way...

    We can eliminate a number of those importation fees. There are currently no soft fruit canneries in Canada. Build one. There are any number of unused or underused greenhouses. Encourage hydroponic veggie growth instead of using them for pot. Stop importing asparagus and other veggies when...

    My very first unit chief gave me hell one day because I was sitting in the high chair whilst working the tower position. His reasoning was founded on the notion that when you were relaxing in a chair you weren't focused on looking out the windows where the traffic and potential conflicts...
