are they installing backup generation? That is a lot of expansion.

your comment implied that you were open to ensuring that the laws and processes would somehow keep our assets safe from outside interference, thus the statement and it was not a question except in the rhetorical sense. My position is that one is better keeping the enemy and yes I am referring...

and you wouldn't object to a nation with this kind of history of interference being granted financial access to our major potentially strategic assets? (referring to comments on privatization). Laws are only useful to help honest people stay honest and to identify when bad people do bad things

I wish there was a more applicable word than "hopefully". If Beijing makes an offer you can bet it will cost us dearly if history is any indication

and you can bet that Beijing will be right in there with the dollars. It is a very dangerous road to travel. What they are after is more money to spend

no Halifax, what he is saying that since we did it to (your) great grandfather it is quite ok to do it to your sons as well. The people arguing for HS are the same people on this site who were advocating virtual meetings which ironically would eliminate a lot of the necessity for getting to...

True but less land is needed for curves etc. if you drop the speeds below 120 and you don't need as many overpasses. Didn't those old steam trains run faster in some cases than the current VIA? I can certainly recall racing the dayliner to Owen Sound and having it pull ahead.

Yours is an elitist attitude. Peterborough/Toronto ran full until they stopped it. I caught the Budd out of Victoria and fit was half full of normal people taking advantage of a service that allowed them to leave their cars in the drive. Each GO train they put into service on previously...

In a lot of places i.e. Victoria to Nanaimo the right of way is already there. There is also a line from Halifax to Sydney, Parry Sound to Ottawa and just about any other city pair you want to choose. Alto is not proof of concept, that can be found in all of those wonderful European cities...

no argument. So do you build a half a dozen lines (VR Island, lower mainland, Calgary/Edmonton, Windsor/Toronto, Toronto/Quebec via Montreal and probably an argument for one through Nova Scotia as well, or do we spend all the money and time on a single line that accommodates only the principal...

For a real contrast go to Malmo, Sweden. They have one of the WW2 Uboats as part of the museum there. 15 minutes and you will have a whole new respect for the men who went to sea in them

absolutely, around 500 u.s. return for a 12 day voyage. Cheapest cruise on the market

Would be a great area in which to combine resources with our allies. Eurocontrol was set up to link their simulators in a number of countries to create a mosaiced picture; including linking for instance an Air France airbus sim. into the ATC simulation. Would certainly reduce hardware costs...

for at least the course offerings it seems to depend heavily upon the school board's focus on education. I don't believe that there is a standard, at least for Ontario. My school offered pretty much the same as yours but it no longer exists.

how long before they can get a ride out of there? I don't imagine that it is on any major transit route.

is that better?

Ah yes, death by U.S. air force policy. No the Otter is still alive and DE Havilland is still taking orders for new ones. It is still one of the very few STOL a/c available for those countries that don't have 10,000 ft. runways

not with the Chinese. Take a look at all those silk road investments or ask the Aussies

how could you forget the DHC6?

those are comparable a/c for a controller and a circuit operation. Take those same a/c and throw in two C150s on solo circuits including one on first solo and it gets complicated real quick. I had the joy of telling Transport 101 with Pierre on board to execute a missed approach because the...
