of course there is no evidence of malfeasance. I wouldn't expect there to be apparent evidence even if there was some skullduggery. Both Brookfield and Carney have been around far too long to get caught up in that kind of scandal. The fact that Brookfield has numerous lobbyists working Ottawa...

interesting how Carney's old company is coming up gangbusters with him as PM. First they bought into the Sask. mines when the market was going nowhere (good planning) and now they stand to earn half the profits less taxes on the sales to India and all without any help from Carney? Add that to...

Any freighter could have been employed as a mother ship or even one of those fancy yachts that inhabit San Moritz and other such exotic ports of call. Wouldn't take a lot to trailer a couple down or ship a complete set in a 40' can.

not as long as the agreement hardwires the oil companies into having to construct a carbon capture system at the same time and includes the carbon tax for corporations. There is no business case.

Unless there is a line in someone's budget to cover it, it will not get done and it requires someone fairly high up to get in into one of those lines. Those same people are far removed from the nuts and bolts of security and probably never hear of the deficiencies.

Perhaps by resurrecting North Bay as an active air base or maybe one of the many retired bases scattered around the prairie provinces. Probably wouldn't cost any more than trying to add the infrastructure to accommodate a second type at Cold Lake. Almost any of them would be a better choice...

ALL stitched together was an appropriate descriptor, or maybe duck-taped a la Red/Green

true but we don't have to allow them to buy "us". Our products certainly but not the resources behind them

and meanwhile the orchard on Guelph line has been cut down: not profitable

true but do the crews come with them or will the CAF operate them? In either case, the mandate would go with the a/c that were purchased for that task and not department.TC pilots did not sign on to fly for the military. Transport safety inspectors used to be responsible for FFBs in ATC. TC no...

and, although they will no longer have a fleet of a/c you still maintain that they will maintain the responsibility? I was hired by Transport Canada when one of the clauses in my contract suggested that, in the event of war, I would assume an air force rank. don't know when that stopped but I...

Since Transport Canada is transferring most of its Aircraft to DND in order to help meet their cost saving quotas the notion that they will mobilize or even can mobilize goes out the window. Managing their a/c will come out of the 5% budget. If the a/c are going it stands to reason that their...

Until there is another government south of the border there is no market for Korean cars made in Canada. We can't hope to absorb all the output. Be better to agree on an assembly line for tanks. Goodness knows there will be enough GM/Stellantis plants available the way Trump is going

perhaps they need to reconsider their gun laws if they really want to establish an effective militia. The Swiss and the Israelis are two that I know of that keep military weapons in the front closet and carry them on the bus (Israel). Kinda dumb to confiscate an effective weapon on one hand...

or that is Carney's 30 pieces of silver equivalent

Wouldn't transiting to the Gulf place them in a far more vulnerable position should Iran go for a pre-emptive first strike with a massive simultaneous launch? If the Iranians feel they are backed into a corner they just might commit and for the Ford, once they were in the Suez they would be a...

seems like treaties are the only deals that aren't permanent.

From what I have read it is a matter of who had it last. The English/eastern Canadians were only the latest in a parade of groups that took possession of various plots of land and they were probably the first that actually paid for it albeit for only a few hatchets and blankets in some cases...

Yes I have and both start to run out of gas around 500 nm and, at least for the Chinook they come with inflight refuel capability. Why limit yourself? The concept of using unmanned capabilities is great but I haven't heard of that being pursued by our forces yet and when/if we do how will that...

if the consideration is TacHel would it be wise to either a) maintain and re-build the C130H for refueling or purchase more J's equipped as tankers.
