    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    Can you not simply decide upon a standardized hull that will endure for several cycles with only minor changes thus eliminating at least some of the cost of re-tooling. I know that much of the expense is in filling the shell but if the shell was a constant it would simplify matters. You would...

    His competition had a lot to do with it as well. I have heard it said that Bob Stanfield was the best prime minister we never had and it may be true but I was too busy with getting a career to pay much attention but I do know that he came across with as much charisma as a pair of Stanfields...

    Public service employment has grown by 31 per cent

    The analysis that I read along with the report suggested that it had a lot to do with outside activities. A person who starts a new career at 50 is less attached to the plant and is more likely to pursue other activities that keep the mind alert and exploring other options. A person that stays...

    Public service employment has grown by 31 per cent

    Boeing did a review of all past employees who had retired from the company. I may not have the ages exactly right but I believe I am close. Those that retired with a full pension at age 65 were the most likely to be dead by 67 1/2. Those that retired at 50 or searched out another career at 50...

    speaking of evidence here is one. Consider for a moment the vast quantities of coal in the ground. All of it is the result of vast quantities of plant materiel being cataclysmically buried, probably the result of a flood in the area where the coal was discovered. That is the original example...

    as Furniture could probably attest, there is no such thing as homeostasis in climate: it is changing and it has always changed. There are periods of time when we have been hot and when we have been cold. It is the same with precipitation or the lack of it. oops, sorry I said I would stay out...

    Replacing the Subs

    Seemed like a great commercial for the future of Ontario Shipyards. I haven't heard any rumours around town regarding any upgrading going on at the moment and their assemby building in Port Weller is currently a cement plant.

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    Question for all you Carney supporters: what will Carney do? Will he back down and do the necessary, and allow the pipeline to go through? Will he go up against the first nations when he has stated that they and B.C. must be in agreement? Or does he shrug his shoulders and say he did his...

    Replacing the Subs

    If you are sharing resources the group you are sharing with has a say in what you do with it. For example the Swiss will not sell any weapons into an armed conflict. So we have a problem on the west coast with China and our interests there and Germany who has lots of dealings with China says...

    Replacing the Subs

    so what happens if we happen to have an issue that the other two want no part of, like possibly in the far east?

    Canada seeks to buy Long Range Precision Rockets (probably US MLRS or HIMARS)

    Didn't Bristol used to make what we want? Maybe the technology and skills are still out there in Winnipeg.

    Replacing the Subs

    It was initially but it was too expensive. We could have had the F14 but we didn't want to pay for it. We went for the low priced stuff

    honestly you don't attain those positions without knowing just a little bit about the topic. No.1 was head of research at the European Centre for medium range weather forecasts and then founded the department of theoretical climate modelling and participated in their development. So I suspect...

    Replacing the Subs

    Probably the F14 or F15. We have been paying a penalty in costs since we bought the CF18 due to the increased weight needed for its carrier strengthened frame.
