They are pretending there is little to no expropriation. Let's be honest. Their goal isn't to present a real alternative. It's to stall Alto till they get a government willing to cancel it.

They don't have a society though. They have 50 societies. Which is exactly why things are broken down there. All of this crap today is basically the tail end of unfinished business come out of their Civil War. Including the Electoral College and all the politics that result from it.

Yep. Many employers, (most notably including the public service), encourage VIA 1 over even economy airfare. It's cheaper, especially when the meal expense is included in the calculation. Alto is all but sure to become the default mode for business travel in the TOM triangle if built.

This comes to mind: Flying in Canada sucks. The connections to/from the airport are power. The security hassle. And then 1 hr in the air, half of which you have seatbelt on for. We also have some of the highest airfares in the world. And many days of crap weather. Worse, for YTZ, they...

There was no need for some dedicated snitch line. People can just call the cops if they suspect a crime. It was nothing but pandering to racists.

Good. I think the double standard is ridiculous. Young people who live in new (often denser) neighbourhoods get the community mailbox. The wealthy upper class hoods get daily service to the door. Meanwhile, Canada Post costs $1.6B annually, mostly for junk mail that goes into the trash. I'm...

It would take a lot more than one photo (that some say is altered) to convince me. I know how logistics works in those situations. And there would have been an emergency declared long before it ever got to this. But then again, people are believing conspiracy theories about the US military...

Iranians calling out the American betrayal of Ukraine wasn't on my Bingo card.

It's crazy that they don't require 4 way barriers throughout, for a service that fast, in an area that dense.

I personally don't buy this one. We're talking about a military that flew in a mobile Burger King to Afghanistan and had barges going around the Pacific producing ice cream during WWII. This is more than likely a picture from a person getting an off-cycle meal (if real). On ships, if you're...

Quite convenient from the Eastern GTA. Especially by transit. That is probbably contingent on load and waivers. Regulators have been getting quite strict on runway end zones lately.

' It's enough to get a few big things done. But not much more. And I don't expect the LPC to be in government at the next election. Mostly because that would just be an unprecedented streak I think. Hoping he can just get moving on some key priorities. HSR for me.

I have explained this before. There's important nuances. The Lockheed Martin Canada that is building the ships is a substantially Canadian company with mostly Canadian employees and execs. They ship profit south. But the IP resides in Canada and they openly compete against products from...

Hardly. We've had these discussions at work long before they were public. And let's just say there's a lot of room between politics and reality. People seem to assume this means no companies with an HQ in the US. That would cut the list of Canadian defence contractors to something one could...

Somehow I think those who are complaining, would still be doing so if it was a conventional line.

That's not accurate. They have their own. And they can buddy tank to get over. It's not efficient and dramatically reduces payload. But they can and have done it. That said, i wholeheartedly agree that it's really hard to see how prolonging this benefits the US.

They could just accept the loss. Terrible for US image? Absolutely. Does Trump care about the image of the US? Probably not.

I was just telling someone. How long before the Israelis violate the ceasefire? I am skeptical this holds. I think the regime needs times to regroup, rearm and reset. I think the Americans and Israelis have mostly run out of targets and need some activity to establish a new pattern of life...

Of course. But how many other countries would write of $300M worth of kit to not have one of their troops paraded on enemy television? This is an important part of morale for the US Military and rubs off on NATO. The idea that no expense will be spared and no effort restrained to get every...

An incredible op to get the WSO out. Over 100 personnel involved. And they wrote off $300M in assets to do it: Whatever one thinks of this war, their commitment to leave no man behind is incredible. You won't see anybody else doing this to get one crewmember back.
