    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    People also forget that aircraft like the Voodoo and Starfighter were cutting edge technology for the day and were every bit as much of a struggle for the maintainers and planners of the day as the the modern era aircraft are for us.

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    From my understanding, it's not a level playing field and lot of TFW were brought in to drive trucks, bringing the price the haulage companies were willing to pay drivers way down. Forcing companies to hire people already here and properly trained will help solve that.
