In my opinion, VIA's biggest problem is it has no enabling legislation; it rises and falls solely on the good graces of Cabinet. If it existed under the authority of a statute, at least its CEO could argue to government that 'this is what we are mandated to do. and we require X funding to...

I just assumed it was AWD but you might right that the emergency brake was set. Either way, not good. The operator might have done that to get the car off private property quickly.

That's not explaining the issue. It's not a matter of 'fit'; the new Siemens equipment is simply replacing older stock. The basis of the lawsuit is technical. The new equipment is much lighter than the stuff being replaced and CN alleges that it has the potential to not trigger some crossing...

That's the main reason for giving kids more than one given name; so they know when they're in doo-doo.

As my former financial advisor once said: B.O.A.T. = Break Out Another Thousand.

Forgot his dollies?

So did that island only populated by Penguins, who are probably still wondering what they did to piss him off.

If he is seen with one or two 'caregivers' constantly in very close proximity, they have used Weekend at Bernie's as an instructional video.

If that's all AI image making has to offer it is doomed. Facebook is full of AI slop. In this one, he closed the trunk lid on one of the kid's hand, and probably broke both of their necks.

It seems the poster is still interested in the site. From the "Ham radio - PLAR for sig ops possible" thread, yesterday.

Federal transfers to the provinces are governed by legislation (Canada Health Act, Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements Act, etc.) as well as formal agreements between the parties. Unless the federal government wants to break it own laws and agreements, or recall Parliament to try and amend...

So long as it has no connection to a military/paramilitary role, there is nothing to stop any province from doing that - and paying for it - right now, with or without inter-provincial or federal-provincial agreements. Without some kind of agreement or federal funding condition, giving the...

Didn't somebody from the Administration say, not that long ago, that the concessions we had made up until that point gained them no love in Washington? Are any more going to be any better? I'm waiting for the 'give' from the US side.

I'll take your word for it. StatsCan doesn't get any more granular than regional level, and the Halton Regional PS don't report it in their annual report.

Don't feel so comfortable. I realize there are lies, damned lies and statistics, but according to StatsCan, 'total drug violations' incident rate across Canada was 143.5/100K population in 2025. For Halton Region it was 4581.7. Just because they aren't visibly lolling around Ye Olde Town...

That I don't know. Track speeds are determined not only by alignment but also by limitations in the signalling system. Also, active tilting suspension impacts the forces experienced by the passengers, it does not change the dynamic forces between the wheels and rail. More recently, the LRC...

Quite the ghillie suit. Would that be the long branch of the law?

"Swarthy" perhaps. It's a good thing he isn't in an orchard, then it might be classed as a 'drive-by fruiting' (sorry - I can't claim that - it's from Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire).

And a large percentage of the guys behind the counter were vets. I don't know if it is on Doug Ford's to-do list, but it would certainly help. A province-wide realignment would work better than their ham-fisted earlier attempt at a pilot project involving three locations with high indigenous...

It would still involve a large land grab, simply by virtue of both carriers wanting lots of tracks to themselves. What it would not be, in comparison the ALTO, is as much of a physical barrier, since the speeds would be slower and more level crossings would be possible. Your proposal is closer...
