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.

from the "maybe yes, maybe no files": The history that I have heard says that there were others such as Belgium that wanted the F105 but the U.S. put the brakes on the sale by refusing an export license for the nav. and fire control components and our industries didn't have the systems...

the fact that the only western country to become involved in a peer to peer war is opting for these choices should be cause enough to critically evaluate their choices and their rationale.

that was designed to be that way.

is it possible to agree and disagree at the same time? Here is my dilemma. It is a given that we need new coast guard vessels and that those vessels should be properly equipped. The gear mentioned by the minister will go a long way towards establishing our presence and control in the north...

if you can get it through Quebec and provided it doesn't run into first nation blockages through the north.

glad you added that last line. The cliche if you can't do the time don't do the crime is very true. The threat of a long sentence has probably deterred very few. If it had there wouldn't be many criminals in the states with 3 strikes on them knowing it means a long time in prison. What it...
