I will give the RCN on this coast credit for trying very hard to get into the public's eye. Convincing voters that you are worthy of the taxes they pay is a necessity along with making the Services a worthy place for a career. Many of the recent immigrants have a very low view of military...

Likely he was involved in a equally fascinating discussion on military.photo's. Where veterans from both sides collaborated to fill in the blanks for a two sided look at the conflict. Sadly that disappeared when the site was shut down.

I was thinking more of a imitation thereof with Russian overtones in the background.

Black hand 2.0?

I spent about 20 years reviewing big projects so I do get the economic angle. However it's also a chicken and egg thing. Without infrastructure, there is no or little opportunity. In B.C. we had a number of premiers especially WAC Bennet who understood this and invested a lot in infrastructure...

I like that the KS-111 comes with a VLS system as standard.

The lack of interest in Ontario's North is utterly shocking. No other Province was better setup in the 1970-80's to push north, but they utterly failed to do so. I give credit to Quebec in having better Northern infrastructure than Ontario.

Are you assuming the Taliban did not have Subs?

Kitimat sort had that with Methenex. Prince Rupert now has bunkering service. The problem is that refined product has to come from Aberta, Prince George or Alaska. There is also limited shore space for tankage and very limited space to run yet another pipeline beside the Skeena. We do need a...

Thing about LNG, it's transported overland as Natural Gas in a pipeline. so pushing it to Churchill instead makes more sense. The NG can be turned into LNG by a floating facility and stored ashore in tanks. Interestingly enough LNG tanks are insulated and that is enough to keep the LNG stable...

What's the depth in the bay? no need for the terminal to be at Moosonee, but just nearby.

Major investments in Community centres, recreation activities, airports, communications, water, power and sewer. Plus roads and port facilities. During the Western Arctic exploration phase, they even had a floating drydock up there. That would be a goal worth aiming for at some existing port.

He did acknowledge that Canada currently has one of the larger fleets, but the reason for that larger fleet has less to do about the Arctic and more about ice affecting Eastern Canada's ports. If Canada was a parent and the arctic our child, likley the child would be seized by the ministry and...

Any protest that does not block traffic, directly intimidate peoples movement or block access I am ok with. If they want to move from one location to the next and need to block streets for a couple of minutes while they move, I can live with that. But if you purposely block traffic, not ok with...

A very good video by Perun on the state of the global icebreaking fleet.
