    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    The ROW is there to Banff and Lake Louise ((townsite) - that's the CPKC mainline. I assume the proposal plans to utilize or widen CPKC property. If the Rocky Mountaineer is any indication, it will come at a price; Class 1 railways covet the use of their own property closely and will secure...

    2025 U.S. - Venezuela conflict

    The fact that other presidents have done somewhat similar acts doesn't make it better, more moral or more legal. 'Because Johnny did it' usually doesn't work outside of the playground. That repeated congresses have either failed to reign in, or legislatively deferred certain authorities to...

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    So . . . cooperation and burden-sharing, along with dominance, all in the same document. The neighbourhood bully wants to be friends with everybody but still be the neighbourhood bully.

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Cutting a new ROW through two national parks simply for tourism would be quite the engineering, financial and environmental feat. If they follow the Parkway, they could slow down so passengers could get a distant glimpse of where a glacier used to be.

    That might even make DJT blush - just a little bit.

    High Ranking Police Folk Allegedly Behaving Badly

    An offshore 'influence' that turned an offer he couldn't refuse into one he couldn't live with? Choices have consequences.

    2025 U.S. - Venezuela conflict

    As far as I'm concerned, somebody committed a crime WRT the subsequent strike; the White House, the Admiral, or a sailor. The WH has declared war, but it doesn't have the authority to do that, it's that simple.

    Navy to potentially create training ships on great lakes

    If younger CG members are eager to operate like a branch of the military (aka USCG), one wonders why they didn't join the military in the first place. Which part is the "epic waste of taxpayer dollars"; having staffed lighthouses or having the CCG supply them?

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Under the gossamer veil of 'nation building', you would think Alberta would have chosen a Calgary-Edmonton HSR/HFR project rather than a tourist train to a destination that is already horribly overcrowded.

    Nope. Sorry. I meant to reference the post above mine. The last couple of days have seen a 10 week old pup between my fingers an the laptop and it doesn't always go as planned.

    2025 U.S. - Venezuela conflict

    Fair. I was thinking of ones with kinetic intent and the same healthy respect for the 'laws of armed conflict' or rules of law when they encounter folks in border areas.

    Already being worked on. The 'Cobalt Camp' near, of course, Cobalt Ontario, was a fairly rich silver mining area up until the 1930s and cobalt was a known waste product since there was no marketable use for it back than. Now, some start-ups are seeking to work the tailings. I've also heard of...

    2025 U.S. - Venezuela conflict

    It seems some news sites are reporting that it was a military decision. Let the deflection and finger-pointing begin. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0r95q9kv1go Those who feel the first hit was ok should be okay with the second. I wonder if we will see blackhawks and drones on our side...
