In Montreal, the current HSR ROW does not go to the central station, downtown, but rather on the North side of the mountain. They are talking about swinging South to the central station but that would require digging a new tunnel under the mountain. However, a station North of the mountain works...

Or cover it off with lime juice .... so USN sailors become the next generation of "limeys".

Hummm! We need a "Transport Supremo".

Just two small comments if I may, NS: The deck of ships (or carriers) should be mate, not glossy. Also, the "22" seems much larger in proportion than the one that was marked on Bonnie. But great work anyway.

Personally, I did something rather different the last election: I voted Bloc (yes, me, Mr. Progressive Conservative). I did so because the Bloc candidate, the incumbent Andreanne Larouche, has proven herself to be quite active and good for the riding. She is here in the riding quite a lot ( a...

I think that when it doesn't go higher than 8 pers. max., they are called cabins, not messes.

Stupid question here: Are we changing the PO1 / Warrant Officer / Major rank badges to the Canadian crown?

Not necessarily. But if you go for small ones, you have to have a larger number co-located within a reasonably small area working together in order to provide you with the same info as a larger one. Again, not necessarily, but if towed underwater, you have to have a communication system that...

Yep! Catherine Bach for the win.

Or, As John Denver would say: "Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eye."

Was that Jesus, or the Occulted Imam?

No. Let Seaspan get on with its Coast Guard contracts. Then, in about five or six years buy the long lead items for two more AORs. You then build them, incorporating in the design the lessons learned from the first two, so they hit the water about ten to twelve years after the first two. At...

Or, as was mentioned before by smarter than I, "Mankind has been reducing the number of gods they need to explain nature and the universe up to the point where they now only have one more to go."

The way they used to do: When standing for office, the future MP's explained which person (call him/her leader if you wish) and general ideology they approved of and then, you get the PM selected (yep. They are never elected as PM) by the GG to select his/her cabinet and then get a confidence...

Which is exactly where the system went wrong, and the political parties (which, I remind every one are not - repeat - not part of our political system, but private entities seeking power through elections) usurped the power of Parliament: All MP not otherwise in government (meaning members of...

What that chart doesn't tell people who don't know ships is just how tight that turn is when you are a VLCC drawing 85 to 90 feet and weighing more than half a million tons loaded. You are not repet not going through that turn at 25 knots. Between three and eight, with five on average is more...

Those are called porpoises and dolphins.

Only the unqualified members of the Trump regime (and I include the two top executives) would think negotiations to be a failure after spending on it the amount of time that usually only serves, in international diplomacy, to settle the shape of the table to be used for the actual negotiations...

I would make two points in reply to this: First, I would say that, in its service life, a frigate such as this, or the CDC, are likely to be employed in constabulary/asymmetrical warfare (small boats and drones) for 99% of their career and in a missile/torpedo environment for about 1% - so why...

I am not advocating for that hull form. Just pointing out that the overall concept of the ship and some of its developments, such as the asymmetric warfare ops room, are worthy of note for developing a defense corvette.
