There are 18000, sorry to belabour that figure, jobs on the Canadian market that have vanished. Think about the number of businesses that have downsized or gone under to generate that figure. The full time job market has shrunk and more positions have opened part time. That is not good

how be you all forget about all your GDPs and so forth and look at employment. Whilst our population may have shrunk there is one figure that is up: unemployment. There is a loss of 18000 jobs, youth unemployment is up, core population unemployment is up. That means all those people have no...

not sure how good they would be in the ice though. The concept is good and I am sure that any of the companies operating in the north would be delighted with having the government buy them new ships but I have never read about an ice certified LST

got my son-in-law in, so there is one documented success and I know of one other who actually ended up as a flying officer on F18s, sorry I don't have any documents.

the one quoted can't be too outdated. It covers to the end of 2022 and I can just about guarantee that our economy hasn't improved any since then

That is just new construction. There was a plan at one time to decommission some of the older ones but a lot of that has been scrapped

or put in docks in the first place. There are a number of villages up there where everything from the ships is lightered ashore and beached. Watching supplies being delivered is like watching a video from the beaches of Normandy

94.5 GW of peakers on top of the hundreds of coal stations already in service many of which are old and very few of them are slated for removal. That is one hell of a peaker

absolutely. Totally agree. But then why has China actually increased their construction of coal-fired facilities? Perhaps because you can use it when the wind doesn't blow. China is unique in that they control the market on rare earth minerals and they have very low mining costs with their...

When you take into consideration total system costs, including feed-in tariffs wind and solar become far more expensive. If you could count on them 24/7 your arguments would be correct but you can't. The system is required to provide constant power. That means for at least 12 hours a day...

and 100% predictable.

a little thing: with the purchase of the airbuses we now have the capability of actually getting them from here to there before the war is over.

to summarize the whole problem: "expert" I think they are deathly afraid that we will discover that there is really nothing special about them. It is the people ones that you remember and they are never the ones carrying the signs

From previous comments and from what others have done, I would be worried that they would go commercial rather than military standard for those hidden features that the bean counters may not think are important

In Ontario you could actually graduate from grade 12 and enter a two year programme to get your teaching certificate. The one year programme was for grade 13 grads. The department of Education ran their own teacher's colleges scattered throughout the province and provided a standardized...

and speaks french for sure

slight side-track but perhaps germane to the discussion. The certification exam taken by an RPN is for all intents a duplicate of the one taken by an RN in Ontario. Perhaps going to a 3 year programme is another way of trying to justify universities instead of colleges without gaining any real...

if they are willing to spend the money, this is true however, how many years will it take to build up a force capable of standing up against Russia. Only Poland and to a certain extent France maintained any kind of a reasonable military capability; relying upon the stars and stripes just as we...

never happen. The EU would never tolerate all those potential pollution sources. The ghost ships travel through EU waters a lot.

Is there a 'finder's fee' that goes to the vets. if they have a contract?
