    Big Fires Around Halifax

    This is unusual.The winds yesterday were swirling or gusting up to 50 Kms PH. It will be interesting to see what the investigation concludes and I hope it was not a backyard gardening twig farmer that torched what little they had. Mayor Savage mentioned this morning that some of the firefighters...

    Canadian Surface Combatant RFQ

    A friend of mine worked the Halifax Postal sorting station on Almon street one Summer. He and the crew had just settled into an overnight shift when the union rep came in and shut things down. It so happened that a single bulb of a four bulb lighting fixture had burned out and in a football...

    Ukraine - Superthread

    There is a fascinating Hour long video on Youtube by a retired Finnish Colonel who spent 17 years in Russia. The English bot is a little grating but the subtitles get you through. He explains answers to most of your questions and goes back over a thousand years of Russian/Mongol History . It...

    Canadian Surface Combatant RFQ

    I can see Canada not only doing the Convoy escort task but I imagine our American Friends will ask us to get their Marines to where they have to go. After all we have done that in the Persian Gulf a couple of times under Task force 150 I believe. Do the Yanks have enough AB's or planned...
