with what? All the money went into bird abattoirs.

isn't that concept based on french law? curious

that second law is the one that will trigger the Transnistria takeover.😡

you think so, perhaps in science but certainly not in the news. Scientists didn't contradict the news either; they were too busy soliciting for grants. It was advertised as a truism to all of our children or grandchildren as they were growing up. Ask them. Britain was advocating for a 5...

not being a naval type, are there any potential bottlenecks where someone could choke off the route? I am assuming that they are going to go west and around Africa.

If a flat earther is one who believes in natural processes and that true science is based upon proving itself wrong I plead guilty and I thank you for the complement. That is why every statement out of science is prefaced with the word theory.

absolutely not. But that isn't rectified by storing CO2 underground. It would have been better buying scrubbers for coal plants and higher efficiency natural gas products and installing decent water systems in poorer areas. As for apocryphal scenarios Putin in Ukraine and Trump in the middle...

only in large quantities but koolaid drinkers will never be convinced so there is no point and incidentally, there is absolutely no such thing as settled science

The environment is important yes and we should and must do what we can to clean up harmful gases which, contrary to popular belief does not include CO2. By now everyone has read that the forecast devastating increase in carbon levels isn't going to happen so why are we still going ahead with...

Not to mention that the scheduling changed so the times were no longer convenient and frequency was reduced. VIA got rid of the Havelock run by moving the Budd times to longer suit commuters. Costs shrank the mainline runs to 3 coaches: adding a forth cost more than the seats could be sold...

Lets say you are posted in Trenton. If the HSR stops in both Oshawa and Kingston that gives you two choices for getting off. Both require an hour or more travel. But how about that infrastructure network I wrote about with hourly departures that would allow you to get off in Oshawa, wait a...

Sorry, but you don't get it. If you want a successful HSR you have to build the infrastructure and so far it is non-existent...

Did they give them a viable option or was it all or none?

Again no. They have local trains feeding in to the centres. They also have the real milk runs that stop every 3 or 10 km and faster ones that stop about every 30 miles so you get a choice. If you live in Oshawa you don't have to spend an hour getting to Toronto to travel 3 hours to Ottawa...

my 10 year old grandson could be a plank owner on the very first one (sigh)

Toronto has maybe a third of the GTA population. I proposed an infrastructure project that provides a service to the entire population and also serves the rest of Southern Ontario. How is that a hate fest. I have lived with a well-developed rail system and it doesn't start with a point to...

and Toronto is the only place that truly has the infrastructure. Montreal is second and no one else is a close third. The only time the middle class will be riding the HSR is if the boss is paying for it. The average person has no reason to go to any of the proposed stops except for either...

Sad but true. Amazing what effect having to show a profit has on the quality of the product even back then.

Can't you tell from our posts: we were on the trains. :ROFLMAO: It was the lack of priority that did them in, not the speed and many of the routes were cancelled because CN and CP were closing down the lines for freight as well, cutting back on all the low profit routes and divesting...

There was always CHCH in Hamilton, featuring Tiny Talent Time and the Randy Dandy show, for those who didn't watch the Friendly Giant and before that Howdy Doody.
