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

    but, and I have said it before, all of those successful routes are networked with short line commuters: at least all that I have seen. There is no feeding system to Peterborough, none to Kingston as you can't count VIA it doesn't have the frequency. There is non to Quebec and probably none to...

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

    true however building a separated VIA would use the same steel. I too enjoy the train, its comforts and being able to watch the country go by at my leisure. When I travelled to Ottawa from Toronto having the time to unwind and prepare for the meetings ahead was priceless. I know from...

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

    Wouldn't you be financially better off buying now. If that first leg goes in and is successful and the succeeding government still wishes to go ahead with it (not guaranteed) the land will cost more than waterfront in Muskoka.

    except you need to do a Pickering and buy all the land now and that will cost.

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

    especially with the demise of indexed pension plans. The time to rent is well after retirement when that 50,000 (early 70's) has become close to or over one million. Invested wisely it will provide nicely and possibly even help the kids out.

    Directives to military chaplains urge expunging God, religion from Remembrance Day, public ceremonies

    Divine right implies that he can do whatever he so wishes. That was Louis of France position. The meaning of "By the Grace of God" is totally different. Charles rules only so far and for only as long as God permits it would be a far more accurate definition.

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

    but we didn't accept it so stop beating the public please. We elected a minority albeit a strong minority government. The largest elected group promptly went out and bribed a few opportunists or simply vulnerable individuals to achieve majority status. That is not the fault of the voting...

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

    and give the press 3 years to tear apart another pc leader. Better to wait another 2 years and let them expend their bile where it can't hurt.

    ours could have done that too with Justin. Too busy cashing their cheques and guarding their pensions to be concerned.

    British Military Current Events

    It seems that the camera system being used by the British Special Services were transmitting to an IP address in China at least according to the Daily Mail. Royal Navy surveillance drones used by Britain's elite special forces were fitted with cameras containing Chinese-made components that...

    Hamas invaded Israel 2023 Megathread

    Everyone seems to forget that Iran started this mess in the first place. Would you accept it given that Iran paid for the October disaster and trained the people who did it? They have a port on the Red Sea that would become useless with the Houthi at the end as well.

    Political impacts of Ukraine war

    First Germany, now Bulgaria. This is getting too close for comfort to an Article 5. Russia will deny it though so they have an out.

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

    I wonder. Your first 4 paragraphs are logical and are a good response to the proposition put forward. Your last sentence is both caustic and unnecessary and my reply is still valid. If folks planning things thought of everything WestJet wouldn't be replacing seats; again! People present an...

    2026 Wildfire Season

    At least there is a civil version certified in Canada that perhaps they can fall back on: the L329 and there are, or were, a couple operating in the Arctic. Might even be dated back to the first of the H model, don't know. I know they have been around for a long, long time

    FWSAR (CC130H, Buffalo, C27J, V22): Status & Possibilities

    sounds like those are the ones Australia bought. Did you listen to the video. The airplanes are OK but they are not reliable because all parts have to be bought through the U.S. as Alenia doesn't do business with a country unless they sold them the airplane I guess.

    2026 Wildfire Season

    Coulson's original hercs were ex-New Zealand and possibly RAF and are attached to their American operations. I can't find where they have been certified for CDN ops. The information on the conversions stipulates that it was done under FAA supervision
