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...

Proposals were already made, they were denied a few years ago. Dontnforget The current PM was a consulting the former PM on these matters. Currently those denied proposals are being reevaluated to see the feasibility of them going forward under the current governments Rules and regulations...

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...

what 8 major/minor pipelines have been approved? What were their proposed dates and what are their expected finish dates. everyday pipelines are being built, maintained etc in Western Canada for various reasons. Often to tie in new wells and or stations. What your not understanding is the...

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...

At the time it was all allocation, Everything small stuff went to the Infantry for their training. We were to focus on the Guns.

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.

everyone passes with the .223 ball point pen...:LOL:

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...

If you equip the battle group (Combat Team) with a bit of everything then they have direct control of how to employ it within their AOR. Brigade Can utilize their own assets as required and draw upon each Battle group when needed. With the amount of potential intel being acquired, the required...

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...

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...

large erroneous calculations. This is something one does when they think they are the biggest baddest person on the block. They make bold moves without thinking things through., then blame others for the mistake. I think people in charge were pompous enough to choose and ignore that Iran was a...

I don't think SAAB has the factory space/capability to build a large order of Jets in a short time and keep up with other work. The Griphen has a pretty decent EW setup it can be equipped with. I think makes it an attractive platform overall.

But we were informed on here that P8 flying was more then just flying, that pilots would need specific training to fly the P8. How much of that training, operational experience, requirements would or could transfer over from the E7 to the P8. Besides flying the aircraft.

The US Bombardier G6000 E-11A were conducting comm relay services between US Aircraft on operations recently. Due to the F35 having the latest and greatest stealthy comms MADL. The others with out the capability across the board. (again open source information) The E-11A were being used as relay...

Problem is that we have contracts in place to supply X amount of oil for X amount of months/years to each buyer, Hedging. It is why even when oil prices dumped in late 2009/ 2010 and again in 2015 that many companies technically were still busy with their contract. For some they got busier...
