Is your proposal one similar to the US, where each state has 2 Senators, regardless of its population? This would only continue to benefit those provinces, such as PEI, that already is 'over-represented' in the H of C. Others, NB, NS and NL possibly could be in similar situations. If the...

Its good but its not where TKMS will be with 8+ boats being worked on at 2 locations. IF TKMS is able to get Wismar at the same level of rate of production as Kiel, they will deliver to us 12 boats before we have 12 Rivers commissioned. That is something that they should be proud of, if they...

What's interesting is that the unemployment rate seems to 'halve' when moving from one age sub-bracket to the next. Age 15-16 - 30.6% unemployment Age 17-19 - 16.5% unemployment Age 22-24 - 8.2% unemployment

https://www.ctvnews.ca/business/article/unemployment-rate-falls-to-65-in-june-as-youth-add-33000-jobs-statcan/ StatCan said youth aged 15 to 24 added 33,000 jobs in June, mostly in part-time work. Workers aged 25 to 54 saw similar gains while older members of the labour market faced losses...

I'm old enough to remember the 'good old days' on Parliament Hill around 1990-92 when I used to be able to walk right in the front door of Centre Block and on through to the 2nd floor where I had friends working for various MP's during the summer months. I would be asked by one of the 'guards'...

LOL, maybe something post the invention of the internal combustible engine......

Convince me in less than 6-8 sentences as to why Canada should continue to have an upper governmental body? Go!

I hope you're right. Because from a CAF angle, Carney is doing everything, and more, that my pro-CAF mind can think of. I want to see 15 Rivers in the water, I want 16-20 CDC's in the water, I want 12 Type 212CD's, 4 JSS. I want to see 88+ F35's in the air and a greater role in a GCAP/or...

Since we are speculating about the future...... What if they are ousted by a CPC party that scraps the majority of the CAF initiatives that Carney is pushing forward? For the RCN, 15 Rivers becomes 3-4, 16-20 CDC's become 10-12, up to 12 Type 212CD's becomes 4-6, stick with the Cyclone and...

I understand that argument. Now apply that to the age of the 6 AOPS by the time the last 2 Rivers come off the production line? What will the ange of HDW be? Are we not right back where we started from in continuing to run ships past the natural lifespan?

I’m partial to a HMCS Narwhal

He’s treating this as an experienced business leader. Know when you can make a difference and when it’s a waste of time. Because time is money.

I stand by my guesstimate that it’s signed by the end of this year.

That’s a long time

As well TKMS will have 2 production facilities- able to work on 8+ boats at a time. How many Rivers concurrently will Irving have the ability to work on?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the contract is signed before this year ends. The longer that it goes further on, the more uncertainty that it creates within the Norwegian and German navies - 'Are we or are we not giving them a boat and we should be training a crew for X date or...

The same can be said about the Type 26 - unproven ship vs the FREMM.

Wife to Husband: "Honey, we're pregnant! I'm about 12 weeks along!" Husband to Wife: "Ok, that's great, thanks for the announcement. Can we not just have the baby next week and not have to wait around for the next 6 months doing nothing?"

Well if we are to be the 'beta' testers on these boats, then I'd like to hope that the initial batch is priced accordingly......

ALOT hinges on their new facility in Wismar and its ability to get up and running quickly.
