    Statscan numbers

    Its all a bit murky due to permanent versus non-permanent residents, and how arrivals (and conversions of long term NPRs) will change over the next decade. I don't think we can accurately predict or account for how this happened or will undo itself.

    The name of the old building.

    Rumours & Speculation

    Looking at the renderings, I expect some convention facilities, and a food/market hall

    That would be about $1.5 billion a year for 8 tails, $2.2 billion a year for 24 according to a rough estimate based on past contracts and volumes. I'll illustrate a different example as have little idea how much it would cost to keep them in 30 day ready to fly condition. That could instead...

    Rumours & Speculation

    They were looking for $23 million capital and a $10 million a year operating subsidy in 2015. This site claims it is fully funded - paid in full. I doubt it. The site allocated was also mostly used for the event centre.

    They'll claim to. It can also be, buying Korean equipment, made in Poland. With buying tanks, selecting the industrial offset far more strategically should be the name of the game. Ammo manufacturing makes sense. We have more money than manpower, and loading a warehouse for ourselves and for...

    Both of them are. For youth, it is about not being able to easily discern ages, so revenue leakage plus the UK 'hoody' problem-teenagers doing teenager stuff that is seen as disruptive.

    A fee isn’t how I would characterize it — it’s capitalizing a bank. We could do the same thing directly via EDC & CCC but for partner projects why not make it easier and have only one financing mechanism? The UK is in a bad financial situation. I’m not sure it is Canada in the early 90s but...

    A place to start is energy intensive, feedstock intensive processes. Like this: https://canadiandefencereview.com/eurenco-and-nalagx-agree-to-exclusive-negotiations-for-manufacturing-energetic-materials-in-canada/

    To go further off track, usually routes I look at have too many turns, but this one would be fun! MRU to a new 50th Ave station. Could likely do the trip in 20-25 minutes.

    This looks to avoid a quarry that was then a landfill of some sort. It is zoned "Special Purpose - City and Regional Infrastructure". A sanitary main built in 2021 goes around it instead of across, adding distance to its run. I have to think there is a good reason.

    I don't think the south bit has changed much if at all, has it? From 2017: More: more detailed profiles and maps available in the attachments here: https://pub-calgary.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?Id=cbf8472a-2b7f-420b-9ac7-e3a308214b1b&Agenda=PostMinutes&lang=English#49544

    The USA is totally capable of producing more ships in that class. It will have trouble with the mythical 'golden fleet' ship of 14,000 tonnes displacement with a substantial arsenal of 2500 km+ range missiles.

    Alberta contracted for Bitumen Royalty In Kind Barrels on Energy East to underpin the contract as a take or pay customer. Same on various versions of KXL. Energy East wouldn't have been launched if Alberta hadn't contracted. Energy East Keystone XL I'd expect a combination of that, plus an...

    It really depends on what we want them to do. I don't see any need. In a pinch has plenty of capacity to bring along containerized box launchers, integrate it into the CMS 330, target cue from a data link with data from RadarSAT 3 or an Aurora or P8 and launch at a ship from 200+ km. When in the...

    The corvette at least now is slated to have similar ice breaking capabilities as the DeWolfes, and if it is that, the same hull if not the same ship can play the light ice breaking role on the great lakes, st lawrence and gulf. As the navy and coast guard work more closely. Designing isn't...
