    Snowbird Future

    The 'demo team' was one aircraft with an annual fancy paint job. My experience as an observer only was that airframe was 'down for maintenance' a lot and a number of scheduled appearances were supplanted by a regular grey crew brought in at the last minute. I suspect that, with the CF-35's...

    6 Jan 2020 U.S. Events (Split from A Deeply Fractured US)

    So t least some of the folks who breached the Capitol building and subsequently charged were just swept up in the moment? Your assessment sounds like it assumes the presidential pardons were righteous actions correcting legal miscarriage.s If the punishments meted out by the Courts were "so...

    Cuba next? (split from Iran, other threads)

    We're going to improve your lives whether you like it or not, dammit. We're going to replace your corrupt government-related monopolies with our corrupt government-related monopolies. The beatings will continue until morale improves.

    Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

    It seems questionable police leadership is getting called out - which is a good thing. (I know this one. Not surprised at all) https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/saint-john-police-chief-robert-bruce-conduct-opp-lawsuit-heather-harmer-jeffrey-suicide-9.7161491...

    Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    An interesting , and expensive, fantasy-type project, particularly given the comparatively small tonnage few Canadian ports vs the US (it's hard to find clear data - one site classifies the likes of Parry Sound and Midland as 'major' shipping ports, which is touch laughable). Maybe we could...

    Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    I'm not sure what you're proposing. Maybe in 10 years and a lot of money to build port facilities and grain elevators at the Soo. The small commercial port adjacent to the steel mill is above the rapids, so you would have to completely gut downtown SSM along the river to put in the necessary...

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    My first reaction was a 'laugh' emoji at the ridiculousness of your scenario, then I thought about it for a minute . . .

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    This Administration has an interesting concept of 'cooperation'. Alberta separatists should read that article.

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

    I imagine it would depend on the extent of the training. There are all sorts of stories about passengers landing aircraft after the pilot has become debilitated. I'll betcha they would be less successful if it was in a raging thunderstorm, are trying to evade someone shooting things at you.

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    What . . . did they weld two blocks together with the pointy end facing in and not notice?

    High Speed Train Coming?-split from boosting Canada’s military spending"

    Given that the project is supposed to advance in three phases (Ottawa-Montreal, Ottawa-Toronto then Montreal-Quebec City), if they get really generous on the first go-round, word will get out and it will get r-e-a-l-l-y pricey by phase three. BTW, the Sheriff would be the one escorting - cops...

    Iran Super Thread- Merged

    He had it, but the fake news folks took it away from him? Does that affect his stats on wars he has stopped, like a video review calling back a goal? Meh, he still has his peace award from FIFA, or Crackerjack, or who ever gave it to him.

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    It's well known that Trump isn't a fan of uppity states wanting to maintain their sovereignty, like Canada, Greenland, California . . .

    All Things AB Separatism (split fm Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???)

    In addition, they would have to pass a new law explicitly invoking Sec. 33, and since the SCOC has ruled that Sec. 33 cannot be used retroactively, it seems they would have to pass a new law to empower a new petition. I'm sure it's all explained in the separatists brochure, somewhere. Some...

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    And it's really cool what they've done with it. No engineer but in order to tunnel the narrows they would have to tunnel under the existing Thornton Tunnel then do a lot of re-arranging on the north shore to enable a suitable grade. It gets very busy with industrial trackage very quickly after...

    All Things AB Separatism (split fm Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???)

    Ok, but it is my understanding that the Alberta CKB is a 'superior' court and therefore a federal appointment. Eating one of your own to keep dominance over the herd.

    Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

    Again, only speaking about airports, I'm not sure how it would shake out operationally. The federal government still has a strong regulatory mandate over the industry. I am assuming this divestment, if it went through, would be attractive to institutional investors such as pension plans and...

    All Things AB Separatism (split fm Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???)

    I'm surprised she hasn't railed against a judgment from an Ottawa appointee who clearly "doesn't reflect the culture and values of Albertans".

    High Speed Train Coming?-split from boosting Canada’s military spending"

    Easier to do in the prairies and southwestern Ontario when the land is comparatively flat and survey lines actually mean something. If ALTO sticks to a route in their northern study area, much of it west of Peterborough is non-agricultural and survey lines are more lines on a map than...
