With the NATO job not changing over until 2027, we're a bit premature in calling out person X or Y as the next CDS.

You two have never been more wrong about anything.

There are a lot of burned bridges behind me.

Not to mention that I am the only CAF officer having spent 3 years on Class B in Ottawa who didn't turn in his uniform for a consulting job. I revel in sleeping in and spouting nonsense when the mood strikes me.

Only because contracting for legal advice / legal support is even more convoluted than every other form of contracting

I must admit in all honesty that when I retired we went to live in a house by the lake and my only thoughts were about doing construction on it and taking off to Florida four months of the year. Working more was the last thing on my mind.

Since getting back into this writing and the gunner community - half of whom seem to be contractors - I have momentary thoughts. But even though I'm staying away from Florida I still like sleeping in and building the railroad.

An interesting , and expensive, fantasy-type project, particularly given the comparatively small tonnage few Canadian ports vs the US (it's hard to find clear data - one site classifies the likes of Parry Sound and Midland as 'major' shipping ports, which is touch laughable). Maybe we could enlarge the Canadian lock at SSM.

We should as it is clear the reason for the initial building of those locks still exists.

We created the Canadian side locks because the Americans denied us transit of our ships with troops on them to go fight the Northwest Rebellion so they had to completely disembark with all the stores and equipment, portage the equipment above the rapids, and re-embark after the locks.

Nation building is expensive, but maintaining sovereignty comes with a cost.

I am tired of Canada being insistant on being someones puppet state. Our country is the most gifted on the planet in terms of location, resources, and population. Yet somehow we squander that.

At any given point in time I have a fair bit of karma to balance out, so I won’t reply to the retired lawyer with a crack about ‘depends’.

Bang on.

Bang on.

The only thing to fear, is the fear of success!

I'm very confused.

Spending billions to build infrastructure that doesnt currently exist but would get a fair bit of use is too expensive for some (HSR), but spending billions to build infrastructure that is redundant and will likely not be used except in the most extreme of circumstances is nation building?
