pardon me, but with what? With the forces we are maintaining in Latvia I don't see a lot of extras that could be tasked with Ukraine and I don't see very many vehicles in the parking lot that could be deployed. We do have the F18s but they are not exactly top of the line

Isn't Carney one of their disciples?

There are a whole lot of people who are betting on war within 5 years; 10 at the most. We should have started planning, training, and buying at least 5 years ago. I will defer to the air force as to what a/c they need to take into battle but 88 only meets our peacetime requirements where...

would they want NFLD back? After all they rejected Malta's application

So the long and the short of it is; the air force is in actuality, an AIR FARCE. Not belittling the serving members at all but there are probably larger civilian flying clubs that have more active pilots than we have in the air force. 88 aircraft do not replace 300 which is the number of 104s...

You keep them proficient by letting them fly which means access to a simulator for much of it and enough hours in the air to solidify the lessons from the sim. Where do you get them? Offer a Porter captain the chance to fly an F18 today with someone else footing the bill and he will jump at...

and you don't think that just maybe the government's profligate spending had maybe just a little bit to do with inflation? Just maybe

from what I have read, Ukraine is getting one ready as we speak with a range of 5 km or so. The Napoleonic navies used to spread nettings to keep the rigging from striking the crews working below. Would a modernized version work to snare the size of explosives carried by drones or even to snag...

no but we do have homeless camps, people dying in the streets from cold, entire neighbourhoods where small businesses are going bust due to petty theft, vandalism, and break ins such as parts of Victoria, Edmonton, Toronto of course, Winnipeg. Are you sure that society has really evolved for...

add in the Black Donnellys

Who does "the court" answer to? It seems that they keep moving the goal posts every decade or so. At first it was the death penalty was cruel, now it is life in prison in cruel and unusual and whilst they are doing that the medical profession is advocating for a humane system for ending life...

having someone declared a dangerous offender doesn't seem the way to do it though. Consider Paul Bernardo. Every 5 years the parents of the victims get dragged into a hearing and have to dig up their daughters all over again. Now that is cruel and unusual punishment. There has to be a better way

Until you can remove the word may nothing will change. Our current judges are locked in for decades. Perhaps putting the onus on the defense to prove why life shouldn't mean life might help such as in such cases the judge shall rule for the maximum sentence unless serious extenuating...

would be more humane than permanent incarceration but there would always be the individual who worries that a potentially innocent person might be executed. Repeating the words of Elliot Trudeau: Life means life. We have MAID now so perhaps we give them the choice.

then they shouldn't be standing for office.

perhaps if they took their oaths of office in a veteran's cemetery or in a legion hall they might catch on to the importance of spending wisely

if it walks like a duck....

doesn't matter what we think in my mind my only question is "how many people follow his column"

contrary to public opinion electric vehicle sales are not really going all that well. Ingersoll makes electric delivery vans. I have yet to see one here although I am sure there must be some. What we will have is some battery plants that will need re-purposing if this carries on. Should do...
