    so does our citizenship standard. Now we can't get rid of him.

    2025 U.S. - Venezuela conflict

    possibly true but from my experience living there, they can't agree on anything and it takes unanimous agreement to accomplish anything: all Putin has to do is keep Hungary on his side and the EU is totally neutered. Effectively just like the veto issues in the U.N.

    2025 U.S. - Venezuela conflict

    and that is why he is letting Ukraine hang. Can't afford 2 wars and Venezuela is a much easier target.

    Pipelines, energy and natural resources

    In Australia the environmentalists are declaring war on the wind mill group over dead birds. In Germany they are fighting to preserve the last of their heavy industries because wind and solar power costs too much. Perhaps the output of a solar field is cheaper than an NG or coal fired...

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    Seems to me that Canadian english is nothing more than a hodge-podge of both British and American. We don't have any spellings that are unique to Canada but rather our spellings are totally dependent upon the age of our public school teachers. The older ones tended to British spellings whilst...

    Political impacts of Ukraine war

    except I think it was Chamberlain with his peace for our time statement and not Churchill. I wonder how Zelensky manages to maintain his primarily positive attitude towards the guy who keeps pulling the rug out from under him? The man is amazing.

    New Canadian Shipbuilding Strategy

    Just an observation from a great lakes recreational sailor. This notion is perhaps going to result in a ship that is good for nothing: it seems like it is neither fish nor fowl. You can build a ice-strengthened tanker or container ship but they are not ice breakers and they are not be able to...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    for you maybe but 12,000 jobs on the table (whether true or not, they said it); you got Trump for people to get ticked off at and shop elsewhere; the press pushing the cheaper notion again whether true or not, it is out there; all the arguments that the Saab placed second and will fulfill most...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    Going to be a hard offer to refuse. Between Trump's bullying tactics and tariffs and Saab ensuring that every Canadian hears about the sweet deal they are offering a mixed fleet looks more and more likely.

    2025 U.S. - Venezuela conflict

    can they even manufacture the gun barrels anymore? I had heard that the equipment and knowledge were gone

    Liberal Minority Government 2025 - ???

    and very few of them EVER vote against the party but in line with their constituents wishes. I would prefer more free votes and not whipped ones

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    If you want bilingualism copy the Swedes. They accepted the fact that English would be a dominant language and started teaching it in primary school. Every Swede under 40 is bilingual. Thus they don't have to make it a requirement or even consider competency in the second language. If...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    It will take a minimum of 5 years to identify the need, issue the necessary competition forms and select a builder and finally start building the facility. A certified welder requires approximately 3 years of OJT and classroom. I suggest you quit lollygagging and start training. There are any...

    Canada moves to 2% GDP end of FY25/26 - PMMC

    but consider the British. They were doing that yet one by one their industries are closing down. No more tanks, aircraft production on life support etc. It costs a lot of money to sustain production. The Swedes seem to be one of the few small countries still at it.
