Exactly. Or we get something like this: https://www.independent.co.uk/asia/china/china-grandfather-house-motorway-b2686504.html

I fully expect a semiconductor shortage and subsequent recession later this year as the AI boom comes to a screeching halt because of this. Personally just hoping it's after Apple's BTS sale cause I need a new laptop this summer....

Aren't payouts governed by legislation?

There was a brief window of rationality. O'Toole had HFR in his platform. And genuinely seemed to understand the need to get national level projects like this moving again. Who know what the CPC will be like in 2030. Demographics are changing too. We have a population that is both aging and...

I would invert this. Currently, the Toronto-Ottawa portion is scheduled to start construction a year or two after Ottawa-Montreal. In the consultation they said, they wanted to leave room for experience to cascade down. The Montreal-Quebec City segment start 1-2 years after Toronto-Ottawa...

I get that they announce it to much. I agree. But I'm not sure the politicians doing stuff means the bureaucrats aren't executing. The winning consortium has a multi-billion dollar design contract and are executing. Land assembly on the Ottawa-Montreal portion may start this Fall. That's...

I attended the consultations. Honestly, it seems like a sop. The amount of work involved to get it downtown is tremendous. And would have downstream impacts on travel times. The required station box was supposedly 400 metres long. That won't fit at the old station. And we're talking about...

I'm curious now about the Financial Times reporting that ships are getting through. Reminder the Twitter/X post was citing FT. Hardly a fly by night source.

I think the question is whether the USN is willing to pursue into the sovereign waters of Pakistan and India. Or get that close to Iran's shores.

This is going to get entertaining.

The world changes. Setting aside the officer debate, I would argue that so much of what NCMs learn in just about any tech trade, especially those getting Spec pay is pretty damn close to college level. Look at all the electronics trade that did POET. How would those be different from the 1 yr...

I often wonder if there's more room for education for NCMs inside the CAF. I do think the system is a tad outdated in this regard. We now routinely send tech trades on sponsored education at the college level. I wish they would just build a CAF Community College or CEGEP and do year...

Sovereign launch capability coming. This has been on the 3 CSD wishlist for a while: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/space-launch-pad-nova-scotia-9.7130406

And look at the latest idea circulating at trade shows and recent service conferences.....

We know..... Believe me. You should get a NASCAR style jacket with all the companies you support. At least get paid for that shilling. Nobody is really pushing for this other than some kooky outliers. Looking at the opponents (at least from their webpages) there's two camps: 1) We don't...

A natural monopoly. Unless you want Blackwater (or whatever they are called these days)...... Kinda aside the point. I wouldn't argue for grocery store, airlines or telcos to be run like the CAF.

Yes. And?

So which telco do you work for (or own substantial stock in) that you're suddenly so worked up to defend? I looked at the way they ganged up to keep Verizon out. Tells me all I need to know about how competitive they are. Funny how Vodafone and T-Mobile and Orange can compete all over the...

Why not? They own the politicians. And they are all "Too big to fail". Big fish small pond syndrome runs deep in corporate Canada. But it's also why they never venture outside Canada (or the US) in most cases. They know the beating they'd get. Heck, they fight hard to keep the competition...

They aren't wrong. This is existential for the regime. And most of us hope they lose.
