    Continental Defence Corvette

    leaving out the subs for a minute, with even 12 each of the destroyers and corvettes we will need close to 400 crew members. That is a lot of 5 or 10 trainees per small ship to get through and we don't really have the ships for those larger patrol vessel assignments yet. Acquisition and...

    Continental Defence Corvette

    With the increase in personnel required wouldn't you be better off replacing the Orca with a training vessel? The air force has a training aircraft for every phase of flight training and every type of operational equipment would be nice if the navy could get something other than the Oriole

    Continental Defence Corvette

    Here is a clipping from their promo add that you attached. If they can't spell Machinery correctly I have no faith that they can get everything else right and do we really need a high speed boat capable of outrunning and outgunning smugglers or a ship that can fill in for the Destroyers on less...

    Canadian Foreign Interference (General)

    but I couldn't find it anywhere on CBC news. Both Global and CTV carried it a bit but not our national network

    if you are looking for historical tunnels how about Brockville?

    so now they have to actually state to what extent they are going to do just that. I will buy that but not a sometime in the future promise to do something. I have bought too many used cars on those types of promises to believe them

    High Speed Train Coming?-split from boosting Canada’s military spending"

    and gee whiz all those pesky peasants living there who might otherwise be able to take the train except having a stop midway would ruin the timing for a two hour run. Must keep it for the elites in the big cities (sarcasm)

    Well stated. A number of the chiefs of intelligence in Europe are forecasting war within this decade. China is anticipated to go after Taiwan within 5 years. Every planned delivery is for after the war? is underway. What can we start building next year for delivery in less than 5 years that...

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    and nothing in Quebec. Our 3rd member of the team that is accepting beaucoup de dollars doesn't seem to be giving us much in return. Granted it took the other two a couple of years to start producing but one would hope that by now there would be at least one block under construction in Sorel.

    High Speed Train Coming?-split from boosting Canada’s military spending"

    From your Google search: We’re building nearly 1,000 km of electrified rail spanning two provinces, and, importantly, ancestral territories and Treaty lands. Our trains will move at speeds of 300 km/h or more, providing environmentally sound, fast, and reliable service to millions of riders...

    I will certainly accept your knowledge on that but before anyone buys in they have to know that the barrier will be circumvented.

    every condition that you tack on provides another reason not to buy in. You are thinking like a Canadian. Yes but is our favourite expression

    but the pen hasn't flicked and most of them have been burnt by the feds too many times to want to risk capital unless it isn't a risk. I think some assurances from Carney that the consultation will be an information session and conditional on their approval would help but having the various...

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    ball is in Carney's court. There are two issues he has to reverse: the size of the tanker and the industrial carbon levy. Building parallel to Transmountain would add to the congestion in Vancouver harbour and that is the only route open with the constraints on tanker size in the north unless...

    and if more than one train a day or whatever were to stop there the cab company just might think that it was worthwhile to meet the train. "you have not because you ask not"

    and the government promised a balanced budget......And no I did not give the highways the benefit of the doubt. You really must have struggled in school with your comprehension deficiency. :ROFLMAO:

    the survey lines at least delineate the dividing line between landowners. If you can follow one of them the right of way will take 50 meters off adjacent lots without butchering a series of properties. Might be a number of houses to set back or replace but at least the majority of land is...

    not at all. With the cost of highways for example I see no reason why they don't primarily follow the lot lines rather than hacking off a chunk of land. Whereas highways may be necessary it should be possible to reduce the upheaval more than they do.

    High Speed Train Coming?-split from boosting Canada’s military spending"

    is that entirely true though? Consider that Alto wants 60 meters starting 20 meters beyond the barn. The family is out of business as it eliminates grandpa's entire farm from production. Farms are side by side so there will be no adjacent land that could be attached to the original homestead...
