I wouldn’t call it Carney’s ban, he never made it, just inherited it. Somewhat of a poor gift choice from Turkey though. Most western nations leaders would be unable to actually accept the gift.

Number one thing holding people back currently is inability to get a apprenticeship. Lots of people want to do the training, actually getting to that point is hard. The amount of people I have met willing to do a apprenticeship is much greater than those who actually end up doing one.

It’s called training, if you can’t find what you need naturally you make it. Infantry doesn’t naturally exist in the civilian world yet we somehow make them too. Techs can be the same way, the only issue is it takes longer to make a tech than a infanteer. 4+ years working on...

And the cleaner that record is the more suspicious I find it. Sometimes more people being charged doesn’t mean more crime is being committed, rather there are more officers doing their job and laying the charges they should.

No but they also aren’t looking for efficiency in training and parts supply for said vehicles being blown up in usage. Different places get by on different things. Trying to look at things from how civilian company/government organization may do things isn’t necessarily the best perspective...

You can keep a vehicle older than 10 years old. You just have to have reasonable warstock of parts available. If we ever get below that point the vehicle should be up for replacement immediately (whether the vehicle is 3 years old or 25 years old).

Most steel orders well important are drops in the bucket for income. Yes they will smile and say how important it all is, but the reality is it is peanuts for them. Take the polar ice breaker project. Algoma is to supply (or has supplied) 600 tons of steel for it. That sounds like a lot but...

Thats my ‘million dollar idea’. A fair trade version of Amazon/walmart/whatever which lists the countries of origin and makes sure the products sold are at a set standard (i.e. environmental protections used in manufacturing, no slave labour, reasonably paid workforce, etc.). Unfortunately it...

One other thing I will add is I am 6’2” tall, that has a effect on what I consider a tight space.

I had the opportunity to go in a Victoria class sub once (was interested in doing sub service and wanted to see what it was like). After going in one, I immediately lost all interest. Tight isn’t a good descriptor for how small it is. I have tons of respect for those who do it. My main concern...

They were ‘non-partisan’ in name only. At least now they aren’t pretending anymore.

Both of which I see as Canadian problems not inherently caused by the system/class or British. Don’t forget the part where the Brits didn’t longterm store them either because they were lead on to believe it would be a quick sale instead of the drawn out himing and hawing it was. Making it even...

To be fair to the Victoria/Upholder class much of that was our own fault. If we had just ran the subs as designed instead of trying to ‘Canadianize’ it we would have gotten much more out of them.

They can’t force them but they can make it in their interest (ex. start buying their booze again or we shall suspend payments to your province, etc.). If the irritant that caused the reaction was removed I am sure the individual provinces would have no issue either way. America is weird with...

Drop the 50% tariffs on certain Canadian goods and maybe we will talk. They seem to be big on us dropping the retaliatory actions, yet light on them removing the actions which we retaliated to. Very much a have their cake and eat it too attitude.

I bet you could take those charts remove Republicans and Democrats and replace it with Rural and Urban for the same result. Seeing as more Republican voters are rural and rural usually means lower cost of living/need for workhands it makes sense. Making it a economic chart than a political...

Believe it or not Putin is actually a moderate in terms of keeping the war going. It isn’t something he can just call off in terms of his survival. He is locked in, the question is can he turn it around (and it is looking less and less likely). It’s his invasion of Russia moment, there is no...

You can make mistakes and still be intelligent. Russia has won most the wars he brought them into. This is the exemption so far. If he had done this in 2014 before NATO helped Ukraine it likely would have just been a couple of weeks.

So what your admitting is it is much harder for them to get ahead. Youth employment rates are down, those jobs they do find pay peanuts well requiring very expensive educations to get in the door. They are drowning in student debt which is basically a car payment you can’t default on (unlike...

Ahh yes the main thing you need to survive has gone up dramatically but I am going to discount that because it doesn’t suit my narrative. The apartment I rented in 2014 was 860$ a month. That same apartment today is 2k a month. Wages haven’t doubled. Cars are more expensive, food is more...
