    Some of the bought & paid for media

    You get what you pay for and those who sow to the wind reap the whirlwind. Old fashioned sayings maybe but most apropos. The government allowed the CBC to become more and more radicalized and has encouraged the fiction that the RCMP is rife with bigots and our nation is made up of racists...

    The Arctic

    Wasn't the intent of the change in access infrastructure to provide for a longer shipping season? Hard for a mine to be profitable if its access route is shut down for 5 or more months a year. On a side note, with 14 Liberal MPs signing a letter criticizing Carney's position on the Alberta...

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    OK in relation to the UN document but didn't Eby commit BC to adhering to it through their own legislation?

    Russia in the 21st Century [Superthread]

    to do what? They aren't going to light up the SU27 for fear of triggering a lethal response. All it will do is add another potential collision unless the Russians are told in advance that the escorting a/c will open fire should the episode be repeated and then mean it and I can't see that...

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    Our government of the last 10 years has put us between a rock and a hard place. They have loaded the courts with left leaning judges who as far as I can see have no compunction about interpreting a law in ways that were never intended. And many of them appear to have environmental activist in...

    Exploiting/Radicalizing Youth (merged thread)

    should include cell phones in that or develop one that is voice only. Every kid I see is emulating his parents by having his nose buried in the screen while his thumbs are typing a mile a minute. Interaction with other people directly is rapidly approaching zero. Cadets, Boy Scouts should be...

    The Arctic

    1/90th of the HSR good for the economy of Nunavit but doesn't pass the indigenous test. Can see both sides of this sort of but I can also envision the same outcome for any developments involving first nations/Eby with the BC bunch. So tell me again why the pipeline people are going to jump at...

    Snowbird Future

    I question their sincerity. If the Snowbirds are such an advantage for public relations, why take 5 years to find a new airframe? The government spends more than this on crappy commercials. Is our pilot shortage so bad that we need everyone we can keep? 19 a/c is not a huge order, is Pilatus...

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    Except he is adamant re: large tankers servicing a northern pipeline. Without the normal rant, is there a feasible way to circumvent the constraints for a northern route or does it appear that he is backing a duplication of the Transmountain

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    I would emphasize the employment and training. The money is useless if all you can do is sit on the front porch and drink the beer it provides. Nothing better for the self-esteem than coming home at 6:00 completely bushed from your own efforts

    Snowbird Future

    Contact the Canadian Harvard Association. If they got the funding they might be able to put the team back together

    Cuba next? (split from Iran, other threads)

    Are those the same promises that they made to the dead people in Tehran last January?

    Political impacts of Ukraine war

    Just read that Russia is now using depleted Uranium in their drones. Adds another complication to cleaning up after an attack

    Political impacts of Ukraine war

    Interesting since we have a province full of potash that could be shipped out to fill the gaps.

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    Your comments are noted. We are worrying too much, perhaps, on keeping our current members of the NSS occupied. As things stand, that really shouldn't be a problem nor does it require bringing another shipyard into the group although we do need that other yard. Consider, if we tell Irving to...

    Are they talking in the liquified state? Every thing I read has output in the cubic meters not in barrels> That would seem to be about one large tanker per day. Does Keyera own that level of delivery at the harbour or does this mean another loading facility will be built somewhere?

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    If we wanted to show we were serious we would have ordered them months ago. The navy knows which one is best-suited for our needs but Ottawa has demonstrated that they are more interested in the best deal than the best sub although we could end up with both. We need at least 2 more support...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    Have you ever set a dried out Christmas tree on fire? Flares up real fast, burns hot for about two minutes and then fades to nothing. Well meet the government of Canada. The only reason we bought tanks was to keep our seat at the table. The only reason we are at 2% is because the pressure...
