Definitely questions.  I'm in favour of more frames for a simple reason.  If you manage it right, 88 should give you 100% availability of the 48 active fighters on a day to day basis.  Used frames make a lot of sense as it simplifies it all.  It may not result in more aircraft overall in the...

At this point, with the further development of the F-35, I'm inclined to agree. On the other hand, I truly believe we need more aircraft than we have.  If we can get useable F-18s soon, it's a good option in the interim. 

Apparently, we're now looking at used F-18s, according to the Globe.

It happens...

The reality is, the world market, and the North American market in particular is integrated for products like this.  We also live in a world of just in time inventory management.  On top of that, you're dealing with a product that doesn't have a long shelf life.  Any disruption is going to cause...

It's not really all that strange, actually.  The stuff in the tank is far more important when you don't know how much new stuff is coming.

It's certainly not profiting at the gas station level.  At 88.9, margins were non existent (1-2C a litre).  At the current price, fuel is costing about 1.00 for the stations.

Thank's for the info - I was thinking about stuff like basic medical care and safe drinking water.  I guess I didn't think it through. HUSARs time has pretty much passed at this point.

Do you think maybe a GSAR team would actually be more helpful? Edit - I see what you're talking about now.  I thought it was going to be done better than ever before?

According to the story, we haven't yet been asked to assist with personnel.  This is an observation mission only.  This actually seems like exactly the kind of thing we have the DART and 5 HUSARS for.  I'm sure we've offered that help at this point.

Here's a story: http://globalnews.ca/news/3705701/vancouver-fire-rescue-texas-hurricane-harvey/

Canada has been asked for supplies, and has apparently responded in the affirmative. https://twitter.com/RalphGoodale/status/903364870686560258

I wasn't worried about the situation in North Korea until they shot the missile over Japan.  Now I'm not sure where this is going.

It was 31 at the beginning, I think.  It was less than that lately, due to some resignations and double duties.  Now, with INAC split in half, it's back to 11.

I don't think it ever counted Trudeau.  It always was 31 total (as far as I know, anyway - could be wrong.).  INAC was split in half, but the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons is also the Small Business and Tourism Minister - they were split before.

The current cabinet is Trudeau + 15 men and 15 women.  That's the same as before, isn't it?

I will be surprised.  If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

That certainly wouldn't be consistent with any of the messaging around the process from this government. 

Look, the legal community is also split on this: http://globalnews.ca/news/3299221/asylum-seekers-us-canada-border-laws/ It's not as clear cut as you're trying to make it out to be.

Just a suggestion (then I'll 'shut up') - this isn't a good place to get info on this subject.  It was a good place to discuss it, until today.
