Very recently I heard a commentary on the radio regarding the GPR employed. According to the guest commentator the system is one that is optimized to enable the location of buried piping and maps indicate that a septic system was located in the vicinity of the field. Suppose, just suppose that...

you are definitely a glass is half empty kind of guy. 87000 in any category is 87000 fewer people needing to visit the food banks for everything and helping to pay the rent. They may be entry level jobs but $17. or so per hour is better than sitting at home and watching the soaps or worse yet...

growth is good and the better part of that is they are full-time positions

Was it the budget edition of a fly past or are they limiting the hours on the Lanc and Mitchel?

The Canso or Catalina may fly again as a production aircraft. Someone has a dream....https://catalinaaircrafttrust.com/ngaa-home

The numbers that I quoted from Stats Canada don't match the numbers that you quote. Our unemployment rate is 6.9 with 18000 lost jobs in April or does unemployment and welfare count as part of the GDP? If the unemployment rate was less than 5 there would be a valid argument for bringing in...

They may have reduced the targets but they sure didn't reduce the numbers as quoted previously. Legalized drugs what a wonderful legacy. It gives MADD a whole new target audience and if that is the best we can come up with for a legacy we would have been much better off without him. Student...

Trudeau was never needed. But back to the main discussion point. In 2025 we accepted 482503 legal immigrants. We also accepted 393,750 temporary workers of which around 60,000 were for agriculture. So what group of people has left? There are many suggesting that it is the top of the food...

I guess I am a little thick but I thought that as a country we were growing just fine 10 years ago when there were about 10 million fewer of us. I fail to see where adding half a million more residents all queuing up for the same positions is going to add anything to the GDP. I always thought...

No one ever adds in the social costs do they? Courts, legal services, prison costs, social services, policing not to mention the costs of adding in a security system and the associated stress: it all adds up

they are investing 850 million in Canada of which we are supplying over half. Where did all this money come from? Us as well?

spoken like a certified member of the big place and I understand where you are coming from however there is always a "but". Just down the road from the family acreage in Saskatchewan (4 sections I think we were visiting family only) a chap had a single quarter that he planted in wheat. He...

remember it well and that could be one of the principal reasons that he lost.

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...

Sure hope they didn't come with Lucas ignition systems :D

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...

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...

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...
