so never a harmonized system. Bad news and the leftover infrastructure from VIA doesn't extend beyond the corridor. I know that Altair and YTZ have high hopes for this thing but I fear they are leaving most of the market completely out of the picture.

and those poor bastards volunteered. I wonder how many will re-muster when their time is up

Too bad they ripped up the tracks. I think that Alberta is approach to this HSR business is a lot better than our national leaders. They appear to be mapping out a network of integrated routes on top of the chosen HS line which makes a lot of sense and has a better chance of success than...

oh but they are. Absolute discharge because of upbringing. Cases dismissed because of court priorities. Reporters don't cover or report on crimes with penalties under two years generally unless they should have been well over 3 but the judges let them go. Lots of reasons. The police...

The American navy seems to be a couple of hundred years behind. Shades of Spithead 1797?

the reason doesn't matter. With Trump there are no principals which is really sad.

having a range in the basement of the high school certainly helped create interest.

Do they really care or is it just a means of juicing the stock market? Trump seems to have caved to China almost as much as to Russia

Too true but who is going to go first?

we had them at one time. There is one here in Niagara still marked as a range but with the berms having been flattened. I doubt if that is the only one DND has sitting in the bushes.

sarcasm aside, there is a lot of truth in this statement. The USA stepped in to replace the British navy and it only took a few years for that service to be cut to the point of irrelevance. We had the what, 3rd largest navy in the world; how long did it take to tow them to the breakers. We...

but they are not lining up to buy U.S. equipment anymore if there is an option and that is beginning to hurt as contracts go to other firms.

maybe because many of them can't imagine wanting to go to Ottawa 😂 If there was the need, Porter would have added more flights.

Except their planned time on route for the HSR is 3 hours not 2 so start again. I used Casa Loma as a starting point and got 24 minutes for both Union and TZ. Since your primary target customer is going to already be downtown it really doesn't suck at all. The shuttle from the GO to the...

assuming that the grades you mentioned are on the upper end of the price scale for concrete I can't imagine it being the mix of choice for the lowest bidder trying for a housing contract with the federal government; either yours or ours

by the way, did you know that the Empire State Building is built on wooden piles? It's good stuff and with the new manufactured beams it is as durable as concrete and just as strong.

At least for Toronto/Ottawa your argument doesn't hold water. The Island is the ideal departure point: getting to the Island or Union Station are comparable and Uplands is connected to downtown Ottawa. People don't dash for the train anymore; they arrive at least 30 minutes or more in advance...

Porter was going to purchase A220 a/c back before Airbus bought it out with the proviso that they could land at the island. London City airport has a 1600 meter runway and is running A220 internationally from there so I think your corporate notion may have a lot of validity. The prime users...

I saw them in Moscow and East Berlin built by the lowest bidder. Really nice.
