    At these sort of festivals, allowing vehicles in at the beginning and nearing the end is normal routine. As participants are loading and unloading their booth/stalls

    2025 Federal Election - 28 Apr 25

    Having helped them when they rented our building and also as a party observer. I fully agree with you, they are all committed to a fair process for the benefit of Canadians.

    The War in Ukraine

    To be fair, had Obama placed a Division of troops into Ukraine in 2014, we would not have had this war. It was Obama's insipid response to the take over of Crimea that encouraged Putin to risk moving on the DNR and LPR.

    Pipelines

    Not actually side by side, but a corridor which could be 75km wide, where a lot of the preliminary, route survey, geophysics, land ownership studies and preliminary Indigenous consulting. It also puts everyone who buys and wants to build there on notice that said infrastructure might be in the...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    True, but they often have zero say in how that vison is implemented, or are unaware of how to intercede (or unable to). A big chunk of government day to day stuff is done by policy and that rarely gets into the public limelight. Regulation changes are published in the Gazette, but then how many...

    Depending on the inflow into the reservoir, this might be temporary. looking at the video, the reservoir looks to be almost already at high pool.

    Drones, the Air Littoral, and the Looming Irrelevance of the USAF

    The Houthis have shot down some 29 Predator type drones, a cheap decoy to suck up their missile stocks would be useful.

    Umm no Dismayed by the lack of marksmanship shown by their troops, Union veterans Col. William C. Church and Gen. George Wingate formed the National Rifle Association in 1871. The primary goal of the association would be to "promote and encourage rifle shooting on a scientific basis," according...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Most Canadians don't have a say in the making of those polices, while the option to use indigenous businesses is a nice to have, it's way over done. Thanks to non-thinking pencil pushers who demand that a box is checked. They won't make the effort to research and provide updated lists of said...

    Government hints at boosting Canada’s military spending

    Working with the USCG I noted they were all much younger than the CCG. I think there are advantages to trying to recruit young, which with good supervision will outweigh the disadvantages.

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

    One of the issues that might be resolved by a two type fleet is maintenance and flight costs per hour of flight. If we are involved in another Afghanistan, then it would make sense to have a bomb truck with good ordnance load, same level sensors and long endurance, which is much cheaper and...

    The guy at Cabellas in Boise tried to sell me a handgun. He seemed confused when I told him that it is illegal for me to have gun or gun parts in my possession as a non-resident Alien without the proper paperwork (Hunting licence and ATF Form 6NIA)

    Replacing the Subs

    or become the missile producer for other people. Also I suspect a missile production facility, can be easily adapted to make more than one type of missile. Have the facility make the missiles/rockets for our subs, RCD's and any MRLS we acquire. making sure we don't use any ITAR tech either.

    The War in Ukraine

    I suspect that neither country has an accurate handle on their population counts, I think China had a plan to slowly absorb the Russian hinterland near their borders, but might find they lack the people to carry out that plan and maintain their own countryside as well.

    The War in Ukraine

    Both China and Russia are going to be facing a demographic crisis in a decade, I don't think either will be in any shape to grab territory from each other.
