    Alberta government thread

    My understanding is they have the pipeline route approved here by the previous owners, but are still waiting on Canadian environmental/ carbon tax offset approval along with final land negotiations. Like the Transmountain Pipeline until it is in ground ready to pump oil anything can change. I...

    Replacing the Subs

    Is Irving still doing the work so many months then a lay off/ job contract change to avoid paying benefits to their trades people? I would be scared also if actual competition was going to open up shop in my neighborhood that did not need massive handouts every couple of years because we cant...

    Maybe look up Southbow, CNRL, and any large oilfield projects and where they sit for approvals. Your hatred for Alberta poltics and the Provincial Government clouds your ability to look past your opinions.

    What new proposed pipeline has been approved? CNRL It is pretty damming when a $8.2 Billion dollar project is shelved due to policies and uncertainty. This project has everything to do with this situation and discussion. I am not hand feeding you examples. They are in the news and pretty...

    Past project(s). Put it to you like this. Did we require Lockheed Martin to build Canada 20 F35 in anticipation of us signing the deal back in 2010? Did we have Irving shipyard invest their own money to order all the parts required to build the new CSC. Then start building the first ship...

    Except most times competition comes along the protected few eastern Canadian companies cry foul and somehow need more money and they get it. Yes and no. We make some pretty good high quality stuff also. We do not make all the high quality stuff at the levels required, it is not always possible...

    Bombardier is a tale of protectionism that has no bounds for using tax payer money and turning out dismall results. Even when they had a vast offering of not only aerospace but other transport. The other ones were sign of the times, where slow adaptation left them scrambling. There is more...

    More to do with the BC government playing the what's in it for me program along with a few of the native groups. Even if Alberta did pay for the pipeline BC and the federal government will not allow the pipeline to go in unless it is on their full terms which makes it to expensive and not...

    Canadian modular assault rifle project, a C7 replacement?

    When one has only a few rounds a year to qualify with no chance for more one made things work so we could focus on grenade throwing practice using rocks.

    Informing the Army’s Future Structure - CAMO Discussion

    The difference between a professional Military and a rag tag outfit I would think. Does it matter what rank I made it to or what level of training I had. Your words I am way out of my league. Wouldn't matter if I was a no hook private, Mcpl, Sgt or Colonel. Yes Saying that sure is nice to be...

    Your not going to be able to respond to the constant changing situation on the ground if you do not have dedicated resources tied to the group on the ground. having to ask two to three levels above for resources is a known slow process. If I need a tank to support my operations that just...

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    This is not just about buying two different jet platforms to replace a single platform. F35 allows us to be up to date with the latest tech right now. But not be directly involved in a direct partnership with on going tech. Gripen allows us a cheaper day to day operations aircraft that can...

    Informing the Army’s Future Structure - CAMO Discussion

    Honestly I like the Battle Group context we deployed with the Bosnia. Each 12-1500 group in theory had their own tanks, artillery Heli support, engineers, infantry, medical support comms, transport CSS etc. Have three to four battle groups per Brigade. Each one being self sufficient in the...
